Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of glazing comprising a glass panel and at least one window panel support enabling movement of said glass panel.
[0002] The present invention does not relate to the field of glazing with rotatable glass panels.
[0003] The invention is described by the application of a vehicle glazing comprising a laminated glass pane comprising an outer glass sheet, an inner glass sheet and an interlayer of adhesive material located between the two glass sheets, the glass sheet having an outer surface oriented toward the exterior space, a side surface and an inner surface oriented toward the interior space.
[0004] The invention relates more particularly to a glazing comprising at least one glass pane support with or without a shaft passing through the glass pane via a hole provided in said glass pane. Background Art
[0005] A prior art solution for a glass panel support is known from the international patent application WO2008 / 065310. In this document, the glass panel support has a shaft that passes through a hole in the glass panel as a passage for a threaded connecting rod. The opening of this passage is relatively complex, because it consists of two openings of different sizes, one for each of the two glass sheets of the laminated glass panel. A washer is placed in the larger opening, and then a nut is tightened onto the threaded connecting rod on the side of the larger hole.
[0006] This solution can be improved, because in use, the forces applied by the glazing support to the glass sheets may damage the glass laminate. Furthermore, the compactness and weight can be improved (reduced).
[0007] Furthermore, from German patent document DE 3535719, a prior art glass panel support system with a stop plate, a washer liner and three lugs is known, the washer liner having a spiral outer surface and being screwed into a partly tubular component which is connected to the stop plate via three parts. This system is intended to compensate for tolerances, but is not reliable because without a liner all forces act on the stop plate.
[0008] In addition, according to the international patent document WO2018 / 178882, a prior art of a specific fixing area is known: an outer glass plate and an adhesive material sandwich are provided, but there is no inner glass sheet.
[0009] In this literature Fig. 9In the embodiment of the glazing shown in A, the insert is fixed to the inner glass sheet by gluing with a sandwich of adhesive material; the inner glass sheet is not connected to the insert because there is a space between them. The insert is relatively thin (its thickness is the thickness of the inner glass sheet); it may not be strong enough to reliably connect the glazing to the system that ensures its movement.
[0010] In this literature Fig. 9 In the embodiment of the glass window shown in B, the insert is fixed to the inner glass sheet by gluing using insert connecting claws that match the inner surface of the inner glass sheet. However, such connecting claws will form a bulge relative to the inner glass sheet, which will increase the thickness. Fig. 9 The insert in the B embodiment has the disadvantage of increasing the volume of the glazing.
[0011] However, the volume of the laminated glazing is an important feature for side glazing given its location within the confined space of a motor vehicle door.
[0012] In addition, the volume of the glass is also an extremely important feature if the car manufacturer wants to be able to interchange between laminated and one-piece side glass windows, thereby standardizing the connection equipment and related transmission devices. Summary of the invention
[0013] The present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art and more particularly and preferably relates to a glazing equipped with at least one very compact and very light glass panel support, while being very strong and very well fixed and connected to the glass panel.
[0014] The present invention aims to provide a solution according to which the thickness of the glazing in the fixing zone is the same as the thickness of the visible part of the glazing; therefore no additional thickness is added in the fixing zone.
[0015] Thus, in the case of mass production of vehicles, wherein certain vehicle types in the batch are provided with laminated glass panes and other vehicle types in the batch are provided with integral glass panes, the same coupling device and transmission can be used on both batches of vehicles.
[0016] The present invention also aims to propose a solution for the "backstage operation" of fixing the glass sheet supports during the lamination operation for manufacturing laminated glass sheets.
[0017] The present invention aims to propose a particularly compact and reliable solution for bending glass sheets.
[0018] To this end, the present invention aims to produce a vehicle glass window that can be moved in the height direction. The glass window comprises a laminated glass panel, which comprises an outer glass sheet, an inner glass sheet and a plastic material sandwich located between the two glass sheets, the glass panel having an outer surface oriented toward the exterior space, a side surface and an inner surface oriented toward the interior space, the glass window having a fixing area, wherein a glass panel bracket is fixed to the glass panel, and the fixing area optionally has a fixing hole.
[0019] The glass window is characterized in that the glass plate support comprises:
[0020] a supporting base having an outer base surface in contact (preferably completely in contact) with the inner surface of the outer glass sheet, located in an additional seating portion provided on the plastic clip, and
[0021] - At least one overlapping wing, preferably two, having an outer wing surface in contact (preferably completely in contact) with the inner surface of the clip of the plastic clip.
[0022] In the present invention, "connector" or "connection" is understood to be a mechanical connector that is connected and disconnected manually or with the help of mechanical tools. Therefore, the connected objects are in a fixed position; hanging, tightening, inserting or clamping are all connections. Therefore, the axis of the above-mentioned glass window bracket is a connecting axis.
[0023] In the present invention, "fixing" should be understood as chemical fixing, which produces irreversible molecular changes but does not involve the destruction of chemical bonds and renders the glass window support unusable; bonding is a type of fixing.
[0024] These two expressions are mutually exclusive.
[0025] Preferably, in order to improve the fixing reliability of the glass window bracket on the glass plate, two overlapping wing plates extend laterally to the left and right sides of the supporting base respectively (when the glass window bracket is considered to be vertical and used on a vertically positioned glass window).
[0026] The support base can directly (without an intermediate layer) transfer and distribute the stresses borne by the glazing support to the outer glass sheet; one or each lap wing can fix the glazing support to the glass sheet by means of a plastic clip. It is preferably made of only one material.
[0027] Preferably, in order to make the glass window support particularly compact, the thickness of the supporting base is equal to the sum of the thickness of the plastic clip and the thickness of the inner glass sheet (the thickness of the plastic clip and the thickness of the inner glass sheet are usually constant).
[0028] Preferably, in order to make the glazing support particularly compact, the thickness of the (or each) overlapping wing is equal to the thickness of the inner glass sheet.
[0029] Preferably, in order to improve the connection reliability between the glass window bracket and the glass, the glass window bracket includes a supporting tongue, and the supporting tongue has:
[0030] an outer tongue surface which is in contact (preferably completely in contact) with the inner surface of the outer glass sheet and is located in an additional housing provided in the plastic clip, and
[0031] - an inner tongue surface which is in contact (preferably completely in contact) with the outer surface of the inner glass sheet.
[0032] The support tongues help to transfer and evenly distribute the stresses to which the glazing support is subjected directly (without an intermediate layer) to the outer and inner glass sheets.
[0033] Therefore, the thickness of the supporting tongue piece is equal to the thickness of the plastic clip piece.
[0034] The support tab is preferably located above the support base (when the glazing support is considered to be vertical, for use on a glazing positioned vertically and having a glazing support underneath).
[0035] In a particular variant, the support base comprises a hole, the axis of which is coaxial with the fixing hole, the hole being preferably centered transversely (to the left and to the right) relative to the width of the support base at this location.
[0036] The glazing according to the invention preferably comprises two glazing supports.
[0037] The present invention also aims at a method for manufacturing a vehicle glass window that can be moved in the height direction according to the present invention, wherein the glass window comprises a glass plate, which comprises an outer glass sheet, an inner glass sheet and a plastic sandwich located between the two glass sheets, wherein the glass plate has an outer surface oriented toward the external space, a side surface and an inner surface oriented toward the internal space, and the glass window has a fixing area, wherein a glass window bracket is fixed to the glass, wherein the fixing area optionally has a fixing hole.
[0038] The method is characterized in that:
[0039] - placing the outer surface of the base of the supporting base in contact (preferably complete contact) with the inner surface of the outer glass sheet and in an additional housing provided in the plastic clip, and
[0040] - positioning the outer wing surface of at least one, preferably two, overlapping wing panels in contact (preferably complete contact) with the inner surface of the clamping plate of the plastic clip, and then
[0041] - Carrying out a lamination step to produce said laminated glass panel.
[0042] In a variant, prior to the lamination step:
[0043] - placing the outer surface of the tongue of the supporting tongue in contact (preferably complete contact) with the inner surface of the outer glass sheet and in an additional receiving portion provided in the plastic clip, and
[0044] - Placing the inner surface of the tongue of the supporting tongue in contact (preferably in full contact) with the outer surface of the inner glass sheet.
[0045] Advantageously, the invention allows a reliable and compact fixing of the glazing support to the glazing. The compact connection and fixing solution allows a reduction in the height and / or thickness of the glazing support, i.e. respectively along the vehicle vertical axis Z and the vehicle transverse axis Y; this can thus reduce the space required inside the door and thus increase the available space inside the vehicle. This can also make the glazing lighter. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0062] The present invention relates to a glass window 1, 1 ', respectively as Figure 1 and Figure 8 as well as Figure 2 and Fig. 9 As shown in the exploded view of FIG. 1 , the glass plate 2 and the glass plate 2 ′ are laminated and include an outer glass sheet 3, an inner glass sheet 5 and a plastic interlayer 4 located between and in contact with the two glass sheets.
[0063] The present invention is described as an example in the application as a vehicle glazing, wherein the glazing forms a partition between an external space E outside the vehicle and an internal space I inside the vehicle. Therefore, the "external surface" and the "inner surface" are relative to the external space E and the internal space I, respectively.
[0064] The invention is described in particular by its application to a vehicle side glass window, more precisely to a vehicle door side glass window that is movable in height in a vertical direction; Figure 1 and Figure 8 It is a front view of the glass windows 1, 1' before being installed in the vehicle door.
[0065] In this document, the concept of vertical is introduced with reference to the vertical axis Z of the vehicle; the central horizontal front axis of a vehicle equipped with a glazing according to the invention as a side glazing is usually referred to as the X-axis of the vehicle, as Figure 1 and 8 as shown, while the horizontal transverse axis is the Y-axis (not shown).
[0066] The glass panes 1 , 1 ′ serve to close a window which is arranged in the vehicle door here and is not shown.
[0067] The glass panes 2, 2' of the glass windows 1, 1' cannot be integral glass panes composed of single-piece glass panes, but are laminated glass panes, which include at least: an outer glass sheet 3, a plastic interlayer 4 and an inner glass sheet 5 from the inside to the outside and in contact with each other; however, at least one other sheet layer can be inserted between the outer glass sheet 3 and the plastic interlayer 4 or between the plastic interlayer 4 and the inner glass sheet 5.
[0068] The glass panels 2, 2' are preferably composed of only an outer glass sheet 3, a plastic interlayer 4 and an inner glass sheet 5 in order to be more compact.
[0069] The glass pane 2, 2' has an outer surface 20 oriented toward the exterior space E, an inner surface 22 oriented toward the interior space I, and side surfaces located between these two surfaces. In this case, it is curved.
[0070] The outer glass sheet 3 has an outer surface 30 coinciding with the outer surface 20 of the glass plates 2, 2', an inner surface 32 oriented toward the plastic clip 4, a side surface 31 located between these two surfaces, and a thickness e3 that is substantially constant, preferably in the range of 1.60 mm to 3.45 mm, for example 3.45 mm here.
[0071] The inner glass sheet 5 has an outer surface 50 oriented toward the plastic clip 4 , an inner surface 52 coinciding with the inner surface 22 of the glass plates 2 , 2 ′, a side surface 51 located between these two surfaces, and a substantially constant thickness e5 , preferably in the range of 0.70 mm to 1.40 mm, for example 0.70 mm here.
[0072] The plastic clip 4 has a splice outer surface 40 oriented toward the inner surface 32 and in contact with the inner surface 32, a splice inner surface 42 oriented toward the outer surface 50 and in contact with the outer surface 50, a side surface 41 located between the two surfaces, and a substantially constant thickness e4, for example 0.78 mm. It is made of polyvinyl butyral here.
[0073] The glazing has two parts: an upper part that is visible when installed and a lower part that is not visible; the lower part is always hidden inside the door, regardless of the state of the glazing (open, closed or something in between). The visibility boundary separating the two parts is marked with a line LV.
[0074] In the visible part of the glazing, the side faces of the glass thus correspond to the side faces 31 of the outer pane 3, the side faces 41 of the plastic insert 4 and the side faces 51 of the inner pane 5, which here essentially continue one another with a deviation of plus or minus 1 mm.
[0075] In the non-visible part of the glazing, below the marking line LV, the glazing 1, 1' has a fixing region F, F', in which at least one glazing support 6, 6' is fixed to the glass pane 2, 2', respectively.
[0076] In this fixing zone, the glass sheets 2 , 2 ′ are not completely laminated: the three components constituting the minimal lamination are not all present over the entire surface of the fixing zone F, F′, as will be explained in detail below.
[0077] In addition to the glass pane 2, 2', the glazing 1, 1' comprises, after installation, at least one glazing support 6, 6', preferably two, for supporting the glass pane 2, 2' near an edge, here the bottom longitudinal edge.
[0078] The glazing support 6 , 6 ′ is intended to receive connection means (not shown) with the purpose of connecting the glazing support to a movement system for raising and lowering the glazing.
[0079] In order to facilitate the movement of the glass in the height direction, a second glazing support is preferably located in the fixing region F, F′; the glazing 1, 1′ therefore preferably comprises two glazing supports in its use configuration.
[0080] Two main variations of implementing fixation are described here:
[0081] -exist Figures 1 to 7 In the first variant shown, the fixing area F does not include any holes, and the glass window supports 6 do not have holes.
[0082] -exist Figures 8 to 14 In the second modification shown, the fixing region F′ has two fixing holes H; the two glass window supports 6 each have a fixing hole 63 .
[0083] Therefore, the difference between the glass window bracket 6 and the glass window bracket 6 ′ lies in whether the glass window bracket 6 has the fixing hole 63 .
[0084] In the first variant, the two glazing supports 6 are not identical, but they have the same general shape, without holes; that is why they have the same reference numerals. The glazing plates 2 in this first variant have no holes.
[0085] In the second variant, the two glazing supports 6 ′ are not identical, but they have the same general shape, with holes; that is why they have the same reference numerals. The glazing plate 2 ′ in this second variant comprises two holes 33 .
[0086] Although not shown, it is entirely possible that the fixing area of the glass window includes a non-porous glass window bracket 6 and a perforated glass window bracket 6 ′.
[0087] Glass window bracket 6, 6' Figure 2 and Fig. 9 The pixels are grey in order to show their shape and position.
[0088] The glass window bracket 6, 6' comprises:
[0089] a support base 7 having an outer surface 70 oriented towards the external space E, an inner surface 72 oriented towards the internal space I, a side surface situated between these two surfaces and a substantially constant thickness e7, and
[0090] - at least one overlapping wing 8, 8', preferably two, having an outer wing surface 80 oriented toward the exterior space E, an inner wing surface 82 oriented toward the interior space I, a side surface located between these two surfaces, and a thickness e8, e 8' Basically constant.
[0091] Support base 7 Figure 6 and Fig.13 The pixels are grey in order to show their shape and position.
[0092] The support base 7 is located in a housing 9 which is complementary in shape to the outer profile of the support base 7 and is arranged in the plastic clip 4. The housing 9 is a cutout (notch) of the plastic clip 4 over its entire thickness. The plastic clip 4 is present on each side of the housing 9 and forms an advanced portion 48, 48' which is advanced in the vertical direction to the lower edge 25 of the glass plate 2, 2'.
[0093] The entire surface of the outer support surface 70 is in contact with the inner surface 32 of the outer glass sheet 3 .
[0094] The inner support surface 72 is located in the extension of the inner surface 52 of the inner glass sheet.
[0095] The entire surface of the outer wing surfaces 80 , 80 ′ is in contact with the inner surface 42 of the clamping plate of the plastic clip 4 ; the lap wing plate is thus positioned and attached to the plastic clip 4 .
[0096] The outer wing surfaces 82 , 82 ′ are located in the extension of the inner surface 52 of the inner glass sheet.
[0097] The plastic clip 4 therefore has facing overlapping wings 8 , 8 ′, preferably two overlapping wings 8 , 8 ′, and no facing supporting bases 7 .
[0098] The glazing bracket 6, 6' is thus fixed to the glass plate 2, 2' and is attached to the glass plate 2, 2' by means of an overlapping wing 8, 8' or a plurality of overlapping wing 8, 8' or, if there are a plurality of glazing brackets, is bonded to the glass plate by means of the plastic clip 4.
[0099] The glass window support 6, 6' comprises two overlapping wing plates 8, 8', which extend transversely to the left and right sides of the support base 7. These overlapping wing plates 8, 8' are arranged on the left side and right side of the support base 7. Figure 3 and Fig.10 The pixels are grey in order to show their shape and position.
[0100] The base thickness e7 of the support base 7 is equal to the sum of the thickness e4 of the plastic clip 4 and the thickness e5 of the inner glass sheet 5 .
[0101] The thickness e8, e9 of the wing plates 8, 8' 8' They are respectively equal to the thickness e5 of the inner glass sheet 5.
[0102] The height h8, h8' of the overlapping wing 8, 8' (or each overlapping wing 8, 8') is the same as the height of the supporting base 7. This height corresponds to the distance between the bottom end of the side 51 of the inner glass sheet and the lower edge 25 of the glass plate 2, 2'. It is 85 mm here.
[0103] The width l7b of the narrowest part of the bottom of the support base 7 is 69 mm.
[0104] The glass window support 6, 6' also comprises a supporting tongue 7', which has a tongue outer surface 70' oriented toward the exterior space E, an inner surface 72 oriented toward the interior space, a side surface located between these two surfaces, and a thickness e 7' Basically constant,
[0105] The support tongue 7' is located in a housing 9' which is complementary to the outer contour of the support tongue 7' and is arranged in the plastic clip 4. The housing 9' is a cut (notch) in the entire thickness of the plastic clip 4. The housing 9' is continuous with the housing 9 above; they together form a single housing.
[0106] The entire surface of the tongue outer surface 70 ′ is in contact with the inner surface 32 of the outer glass sheet 3 .
[0107] The entire surface of the tongue inner surface 72 ′ is in contact with the outer surface 50 of the inner glass sheet 5 .
[0108] The thickness e7 of the supporting tongue piece 7 is equal to the thickness e4 of the plastic clip piece 4 .
[0109] The supporting tongue 7' is located above the supporting base 7 and connected to the supporting base 7. Figure 5 and Fig.12 As shown, the support tongue 7' is inserted between the outer glass sheet 3 and the inner glass sheet 5. It facilitates the positioning and connection of the glazing support 6, 6' on the glass panels 2, 2'.
[0110] The height h7' of the supporting tongue 7' is 40 mm, and the width l7'h at the widest part of the top is 137 mm.
[0111] The total height of the glass window support is equal to the sum of the height h7 of the support base 7 and the height h7' of the support tongue 7'; in this case, it is 125 mm. The total width l6h of the glass window support is equal to the sum of the width of the widest part of the support base 7 and the width of the widest part of the overlapping wing plates 8, 8'; in this case, it is 324 mm. The minimum width l6b of the glass window support, in this case at the lowest point, is 95 mm.
[0112] In a second variant, the glazing 1 'is movable in the height direction and the outer pane 3 therefore comprises at least one tubular hole 33 opening onto two faces of the outer pane 3, the outer face 30 and the inner face 32. This hole 33 has an axis and has a circular internal section; it does not open onto the side face 31 of the outer pane 3: it is completely circular in section and is not a notch.
[0113] In this second variant, the support base 7 comprises a hole 63, the axis of which is coaxial with the axis of the hole 33 of the outer pane 3. This hole 63 is here centered with respect to the width of the support base 7 at this location.
[0114] The positioning and mechanical connection of the glass window brackets 6, 6' on the glass plates 2, 2' are operated in the following manner:
[0115] - the base outer surface 70 of the support base 7 is located in the additional housing 9 provided in the plastic clip 4 and is placed in full contact with the inner surface 32 of the outer glass sheet 3, and,
[0116] - Positioning the outer wing surface 80, 80' of at least one, preferably two, overlapping wings 8, 8' in full contact with the inner surface 42 of the plastic clip 4, and then
[0117] - Carrying out a lamination step to produce said laminated glass pane 2, 2'.
[0118] If the support tongues 7' are present, before lamination:
[0119] - the tongue outer surface 70 ′ of the supporting tongue 7 ′ is located in the additional housing 9 ′ provided in the plastic clip 4 and is placed in full contact with the inner surface 32 of the outer glass sheet 3 , and,
[0120] - Placing the inner tongue surface 72 ′ of the supporting tongue 7 ′ in full contact with the outer surface 50 of the inner glass sheet 5 .
[0121] The glazing support may consist of two parts: the supporting base 7 and the overlapping wings 8, 8'; without any other parts.
[0122] The glazing support may consist of three parts: a supporting base 7 and two overlapping wings 8, 8'; without any other parts; or even of a supporting base 7, overlapping wings 8, 8' and a supporting tongue 7'.
[0123] The glass window support may be composed of four parts: a support base 7, two overlapping wing plates 8, 8' and a support tongue 7'.
[0124] The support base 7 and the overlapping wing(s) 8, 8', possibly also the support tongue 7', are preferably formed together in one piece and preferably even consist of one material; they are rigid; they can be made of plastic or metal or even a metal alloy. Advantageously, the glazing support forms an insert; it can be made of a plastic material, in particular polyamide (PA), such as PA 6-6, polyoxymethylene (POM) (also known as polyoxymethylene or polyacetal), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyethylene terephthalate (PET); and is therefore particularly light and durable. Advantageously, the glazing support material has a Shore D hardness of between 70 and 90.
[0125] The glass window support 6, 6' does not include any portion extending in the inner-outer direction closer to the inside than the inner surface 52 of the inner glass sheet 5. It does not include any portion extending in the inner-outer direction closer to the outside than the outer surface 30 of the outer glass sheet 3; preferably, it does not include any portion extending closer to the outside than the inner surface 32 of the outer glass sheet 3. It does not include any portion extending in the vertical direction lower than the side surface 31 of the outer glass sheet 3.
[0126] The glazing support 6, 6' is particularly compact; its thickness at its thickest point is the thickness of the thickest laminated glass panel.
[0127] The glass window supports 6, 6' adopt a conventional plate arrangement (support base 7, overlapping wing plates 8, 8', support tongue 7'); if the glass panels 2, 2' are curved in the fixing areas F, F', these plates are not flat; if necessary, the glass window supports 6, 6' adapt to the curvature of the glass panels 2, 2', and this adaptation is particularly precise because the support base rests on the outer glass panel.
