A process for manufacturing a bent laminated glazing, includes manufacturing a first bent laminated glazing including at least two glass substrates locally comprising, in each of the at least two glass substrates and facing each other in all the at least two glass substrates, a zone including compressive stresses, and cutting the first bent laminated glazing through its entire thickness along a line included in the zone in order to form local cut edges and, after cutting, a second bent laminated glazing with the local cut edges having compressive edge stresses.

A window unit including a glazing panel, a frame which has a frame profile and encompasses the edge of the glazing panel on at least one peripheral side and includes a plastic primary part, with the primary part having at least 10% in weight of recycled material.

A laminated glazing includes a first transparent sheet intended, in the mounting position of the glazing, to constitute the exterior face thereof, a second transparent sheet bonded to the first by an adhesive interlayer, a heating layer supplied with electric current by leads positioned at the periphery of the glazing, and a mask also positioned at the periphery of the glazing between the first transparent sheet and the leads so as to hide the latter from view from the outside in the mounting position of the laminated glazing, wherein the heating layer and the mask are on the same plane of the laminated structure of the glazing.

An application device for a viscous adhesive comprising a base body having a first inlet for a viscous adhesive; and a nozzle body which is rotatable about an axis with respect to the base body and which surrounds a portion of the base body radially on the outside with respect to the axis, wherein, via the interaction of a first dynamic seal with a separating agent chamber, in which a separating agent is stored, the introduction of humidity into the adhesive before it exits the nozzle opening is effectively prevented.

Automotive glass structures having curves and feature lines and methods for forming the same are provided. An example method includes applying localized heat (e.g., via a laser, heating element) to a location of a substantially planar glass structure and bending the glass structure at that location (e.g., along a line of the planar glass structure) to form a feature line in the glass structure. The bending can be formed to have a radius of curvature of between 2 mm and 5 cm. Additional layers of curved or joined glass layers may further be included to form a curved multi-layer glass structure for automotive use.

A glass article having an excellent heat resistance, capable of preventing any of layers disposed on a glass substrate from peeling off or being clacked even after a long period of time has elapsed after the bending thereof at a high temperature is provided. A glass article according to the present invention includes, on a glass substrate, a carbon-added silicon oxide layer, a transparent conductive oxide layer, and a shielding layer in this order, in which an atomic-composition percentage ratio C/Si of carbon to silicon in the carbon-added silicon oxide layer is 0.1 or more and 0.5 or less, and a linear expansion coefficient α.sub.Sh of the shielding layer is 7.7×10.sup.−3/K or less.

A door includes an inner wall, an outer wall, and a window assembly including a window. The inner wall is configured to engage with a cab of a vehicle. The outer wall is coupled to the inner wall and spaced apart from the inner wall to form an interior cavity. The door is configured to move between a closed position in which the inner wall is engaged with the cab and an open position in which the inner wall is separated from the cab. In the closed position, at least a portion of the interior cavity is configured to be disposed outboard from the cab in a lateral direction. The window is slidably engaged to the door and configured to move between an extended position and a retracted position. In the retracted position, the window is at least partially disposed in the portion of the interior cavity.

A switchable laminated glazing comprising two stacks of components with different lamination parameters, a first stack of components which provides the mechanical protection of the glazing, and a second stack of components with variable light transmission.

A laminated glass according to the present invention includes a first glass plate, a second glass plate, and an interlayer film. The interlayer film includes a laminated region including a first layer that is in contact with the first glass plate, a second layer that is in contact with the second glass plate, and a third layer disposed between the first layer and the second layer. When the relative dielectric constant of the first glass plate is denoted by ε.sub.g1, the relative dielectric constant of the second glass plate is denoted by ε.sub.g2, the relative dielectric constant of the first layer is denoted by ε.sub.m1, the relative dielectric constant of the second layer is denoted by ε.sub.m2, and the relative dielectric constant of the third layer is denoted by ε.sub.m3, relationships ε.sub.m1<ε.sub.g1, ε.sub.m1<ε.sub.g2, ε.sub.m2<ε.sub.g1, ε.sub.m2<ε.sub.g2, ε.sub.m3>ε.sub.m1, ε.sub.m3>ε.sub.m2 are established.
