Abstract:
A transparent substrate with non-transparent film includes a transparent substrate; and a non-transparent film formed on the transparent substrate.The non-transparent film includes first projections, each having a diameter of greater than 10 μm, in a cross section, at a height of 0.05 μm plus a bearing height of a surface shape obtained by measuring a region of (101-111 μm)×(135-148 μm); and second projections, each having a diameter of 1-10 μm or less, in a cross section, at a height of 0.5 μm plus the bearing height of the surface shape.A maximum height of each of the first projections, with reference to a height at a lowest part in the region, is 8.0-30.0 μm.A number of the second projections is 0.001-0.05 per 1 μm2, and an average height of the second projections, with reference to the bearing height, is 1.50-5.00 μm.
Abstract:
A transparent armor construction having a laminate structure with at least two layers. The layers are constructed of two different materials selected from the group of glass, ceramic, resin, polymeric material, and plastic and in which the at least two layers include different coefficients of thermal expansion. The layers are bonded together and a planar frame having an open central section and an outer border is then bonded to the laminate structure. The material for the planar frame is selected so that it has a coefficient of thermal expansion less than the coefficient of thermal expansion of the laminate layer to which it is bonded.
Abstract:
This disclosure is directed to laminates for transparent armor application and in particular to laminates comprising at least one layer of an intermediate or anomalous glass. Anomalous glasses include glasses with a SiO2 content (in mol %) greater than 80 mol %, and the glasses can contain other elements that give the glass highly desirable properties such as impact resistance. Examples include Corning ULE glass 4 wt % to
Abstract:
A rear sliding window assembly suitable for use in a vehicle includes a fixed portion and a sliding portion and upper and lower track members disposed at a surface of first and second fixed glass portions. The sliding portion comprises a glass window panel and is laterally movable between the upper and lower track members relative to the fixed portion. The glass window panel is movable between an opened position and a closed position, and the glass window panel is disposed at the gap that is between the first and second fixed glass window portions when at its closed position. A glide member is longitudinally movable along the lower track member to facilitate movement of the glass window panel between its opened and closed positions. A sealing member is disposed between the fixed portion and the sliding portion at least when the glass window panel is at its closed position.
Abstract:
A laminated glazing with at least one rigid pane and an adhesive layer assembled to the rigid plane by surface bonding, via which a protective and/or functional sheet is applied to the rigid pane. The protective sheet is set back relative to an outer edge of the rigid pane, at least in certain parts. At least one retaining element is placed on the edge of the rigid pane in the region of the set-back of the protective sheet. The retaining element has a thickness approximately corresponding, or corresponding, to the maximum thickness of the adhesive layer at the edge of the protective sheet and is partially covered by the protective sheet at least in defined parts.
Abstract:
A rear sliding window assembly suitable for use in a vehicle includes upper and lower track members and at least one fixed glass window panel. The track members are disposed at a surface of the fixed glass window panels and no portion of the track members is in contact with the opposite surface of the fixed glass window panels. A movable glass window panel is slidably disposed at the track members and movable at least partially along the track members relative to the fixed glass window panel or panels. The movable glass window panel is movable between opened and closed positions. A perimeter edge of the movable glass window panel may be received by a glide member, and the glide member may be disposed in the upper or lower track member to facilitate sliding of the movable glass window panel at least partially along the upper or lower track member.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a ballistic resistant laminated structure comprising at least three glass sheets (1, 3, 5) a polycarbonate sheet (11) which are bound by adhesive layers (2, 4, 10) and a shielding insert (20), wherein a space delimited by said insert (20), the end face of the sheet (5) and the edge of the sheet (11) are provided with a material (30, 31) for absorbing the energy of a projectile. Said materials (30, 31) are embodied in the form of an yielding material (30) for degassing during assembling said stricture and an encapsulating material (31). A highly ballistic resistant glazing for a building or a transport vehicle comprising the inventive structure is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A laminated glazing includes at least one sheet (1) and a second sheet (2) bound to each other by an intercalated adhesive layer (3). The first sheet (1) projects beyond the second sheet (2) to form an exposed edge. The intercalated adhesive layer (3) extends over an exposed portion of the edge of the first sheet (1), and the edge of the intercalated adhesive layer (3) is at least in part covered by an intermediate element (4) suited to bond between the glazing or its constitutive elements (3) and on the body (5) through the intermediary of a cement element. This glazing has use as an automobile windshield with high crash test resistance.
Abstract:
This invention relates to an arrangement for closing an opening of a motor vehicle, which is provided with a pane (12), a layer (14) of cement material which acts as a flat shatterproofing element being attached with one side securely to the pane, the other side of the layer of cement material being used to cement at least one attachment part (18, 20, 30, 32, 34) to the pane, the attachment part being a reinforcing element (18) for the pane, a retaining element (303, 32, 34) for connecting the pane to the vehicle body or an element (38) connected to the vehicle body, or a visor.
Abstract:
An assembly and method is provided for a decorative screen, wall, or other surface to provide a desired amount of light passing through, reflected by, and/or diffused by the decorative screen. In one preferred embodiment, at least one screen is formed of a plurality of wires that are woven together. The screen is preferably affixed within one or more transparent panels. In one embodiment, the screen may preferably have an arrangement with a number of wires having wire diameters in a selected weave or knitted pattern such that only between zero and eighty-five percent of the surface area of the screen is open area. The wire is preferably treated such that a desired level or amount metal luster is provided to control reflection/absorbtion properties of the screen. The screen may be utilized as building material such as walls, counters, shower enclosures, or to make other articles such as furniture.
