Glazing unit with sliding groove and method for producing glazing unit

Abstract

The present invention concerns a glazing unit (1) comprising a fixed glazed element (2) and, along a lateral edge of said glazed element (2), an upright (3) comprising a sliding groove (30) having a U-shaped cross-section, for a movable glazed element to slide, and comprising: a profiled bead (4) having a base (45) and an inner wing (46), said profiled bead (4) comprising an intermediate reinforcing part (6) having a body (65) and an inner branch (66), a covering part (5) comprising a covering sole (56) and attached mechanically to said upright (3) in order to produce said sliding groove (30),characterized in that said covering part (5) comprises a plurality of tabs (55) extending perpendicular to said covering sole (56), and said body (65) has, on an outer edge (61), a plurality of holes(68) for clipping the tabs (55) of the covering part (6).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a glazing comprising a fixed glass element and comprising, along one side edge of said glass element, an upstanding portion extending laterally further outwards than said side edge, so The upright has a U-shaped channel in cross-section for sliding the movable glass element therein, and: [0002] In one aspect, there is a shaped bead (bead) having: [0003] a base positioned adjacent to the edge of the glass element, and [0004] an inner flange extending substantially perpendicular to the base and away from the glass element, and [0005] The shaped bead has an intermediate reinforcement member having: [0006] a body positioned opposite said edge of the glass element, wherein said base is interposed between said body and said edge, [0007] and also having an inner arm extending substantially perpendicular to said body and parallel to said inner flange, [0008] And in another aspect, there is a cover member having a cover...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0016] The solution is difficult to implement industrially

[0017] The first difficulty lies in the fact that the first part of the upright (the forming bead) has a relatively narrow and relatively deep groove; difficult to achieve with negative accuracy during molding the forming bead on the fixed glass element such a shape

[0018] The second difficulty lies in the fact that the second part of the forming element (which is more rigid and incorporated into the upright during molding the bead) is laterally very close to the groove, making the creation of the groove more complicated

[0019] Because of the complexity of the means that will be used to create the clamping grooves in the forming bead, the rejection rate of glazing due to non-compliance can be relatively high
