Embodiment Construction

[0033] The present invention provides a centering pin that, when bonded to the surface of the glazing, can be positioned in a lowered position (for use during transport or storage) and a raised position (for use when assembling the glazing to a vehicle) orifice during use) between rotations.

[0034] figure 1is a schematic side view of the centering pin according to the first embodiment of the invention in the lowered position of the storage glazing. The centering pin 1 comprises a base part 2 bonded to a ply of glass 3 by means of an adhesive (not shown) and a centering part 4 having a shape comprising a cylindrical The substantially frustoconical shape of the base part 5 and the frustoconical top part 6 . The centering part 4 also comprises a cavity in the base part 5 with two side walls (not shown), said cavity being dimensioned to receive and overlap the base part 2 . The cavity has a pair of opposing circular holes 7 in the side walls, each receiving a cylindrical prot...

Abstract

A vehicle glazing (3) having a centring pin (1) bonded thereto, and a centring pin (1) suitable for a vehicle glazing (3) are disclosed. The centring pin (1) comprises a base portion (2) bonded to the vehicle glazing (3) and a centring portion (4) adapted to be inserted into a hole in the bodywork of a vehicle. The centring portion (4) is joined to the base portion (5), and moveable between a lowered position, in which the glazing may be stored, and a raised position, in which the glazing may be fitted into an aperture in a vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a centering pin suitable for centering a glazing into an aperture in a vehicle, and in particular to a centering pin bonded to the surface of the glazing. Background technique [0002] Fixed vehicle glazing, such as windshields, side windows or rear windows, are often provided with centering pins to aid in positioning the glazing when installed into an aperture in the vehicle. Such centering pins come in a variety of forms and can be used purely as a positioning aid, or can provide a measured temporary fix to hold the glazing in place during installation while the adhesive hardens. Centering pins are typically bonded to one surface of the glazing, either directly to the glass, or to a black ceramic print region known as an obscuration band. When the glazing is installed, centering pins are inserted into holes or gaps in the vehicle body while pushing the glazing into place. The pins are positioned on the glazing such ...
