The present invention is a windshield for an automobile on which an information acquisition device configured to acquire information from the outside of a vehicle by emitting and/or receiving light can be arranged. The windshield includes: a laminated glass including an information acquisition region that is opposite to the information acquisition device and through which the light passes; and an antifog sheet in which at least a sticky layer, a substrate film, and an antifog layer are layered in this order, the sticky layer being attached to at least a surface on a vehicle interior side of the information acquisition region. The laminated glass includes at least one glass plate in which surface concentrations of tin oxide in two principal surfaces are different, and a surface of the glass plate in which the concentration of tin oxide is higher faces the vehicle interior side.

Systems, methods, and devices for a vehicle windshield are disclosed herein. A vehicle includes a vehicle body comprising a front, a first side, and a second side, wherein the first side and the second side are opposite one another on the vehicle body. The vehicle comprises a cabin located within the body of the vehicle, wherein the cabin comprises an interior that is configured to accommodate at least one person. The vehicle comprises at least one door that provides ingress and egress to the interior of the cabin of the vehicle. The vehicle comprises a windshield that provides a visual line of sight out of the cabin for a user located within the interior of the cabin, and wherein the windshield extends across the front and at least partially on to at least one of the first side or the second side.

An automotive glazing unit includes a glazing and a system for allowing the glazing to be moved translationally with respect to a door of the vehicle. The glazing is curved and laminated and includes an exterior and an interior glass sheet and a plastic sheet located between the exterior and interior glass sheets. Each sheet has a peripheral edge face. The interior glass sheet is a glass sheet that has undergone a chemical tempering operation and has a thickness included between 0.40 and 2.10 mm and the edge face of the interior glass sheet is located beyond the edge face of the plastic sheet and beyond the edge face of the exterior glass sheet over at least one portion of the length of the edge face of the interior glass sheet.

A skylight assembly for installation in a vehicle wall includes a lens body having an exterior surface and a cap connected to an end of the lens body and a lens flange. There is a nut member to secure the lens body. A gasket is disposed between the lens member and the vehicle wall and includes a first leg portion and a second leg portion. The first leg portion extends into a recess between a surface of an aperture in the wall and the exterior surface of the lens body and the first leg portion has a uniform thickness which is less than a width of the recess thereby forming a gap. The second leg portion extends from the first leg portion substantially at a right angle and is disposed between and in contact along its length with the lens flange and the exterior of the wall about the aperture.

A cab for a semi-truck vehicle may include a main body with a wrap around windshield providing a predetermined field of front vision and side vision. The cab may further include a seat, a rear wall, and a cabin interior accommodating a driver. The cabin interior may be located between the wrap around windshield and the rear wall and include a frontside volume and a rearside volume. A doorway formed in the main body may provide ingress to and egress from the cabin interior. A plurality of front entry steps may be disposed beneath the doorway. A door may be configured to selectively open and close the doorway, allowing direct access to the frontside volume of the cabin interior. The cab design may optimize visibility, accessibility, and interior space utilization for the driver.

A glazed unit in particular for a vehicle of transport, includes a first glass pane and a second glass pane that are contiguous, the second glass pane being laminated and includes an exterior glass sheet, an interior glass sheet and a plastic material interlayer arranged between the exterior glass sheet and the interior glass sheet, the glazed unit having an exterior face and an interior face, wherein the glazed unit includes a seal arranged between the first glass pane and the second glass pane, having an exterior face and an interior face, the exterior face of the glazed unit and the exterior face of the seal being flush with one another and the seal being in contact with an interior face of the exterior glass sheet of the second glass pane.

A protective window system for non-military heavy equipment including: at least two window panes with at least one air gap therebetween wherein the thickness of each window pane and the size of the air gap is determined such that the window system meets or exceeds UL/ANSI 752 level 1 testing. In particular, the panes may be of polycarbonate, formed with a curved shape and between 5 and 30 mm thick. The air gap may be between at least two of the at least two window panes that is between 5 and 50 mm thick. The window system may include a channel for transporting conditioned air and a vent for allowing the conditioned air to enter the air gap; and a hinge mechanism for allowing at least one of the at least two window panes to move in relation to another of the at least two window panes.

A rear suspension for a vehicle includes a knuckle for supporting a rear wheel of the vehicle, and the knuckle defines an opening. The rear suspension system further includes two suspension devices configured to be connected to the vehicle and an upper portion of the knuckle, such that each suspension device is oriented along an upright axis when the rear suspension system is mounted on the vehicle. In addition, the rear suspension system includes a control arm having a first portion configured to be connected to the vehicle and a second portion configured to extend between the axes of the suspension devices and into the opening of the knuckle when the rear suspension system is mounted on the vehicle.

The present invention relates to a laminated plate (laminated glass plate 102 for a vehicle) including a first plate (first glass plate 201) being curved in a first curved shape, a second plate (second glass plate 202) having a second shape that is different from the first curved shape, and an intermediate film 301 bonding the first plate and the second plate, in which the laminated plate has, in a planar view thereof, a peripheral region 313 and an in-plane region 314, and the peripheral region 313 has a flat region 313a and an undulating region 313b.
