A vehicle window and a vehicle are provided. The vehicle window includes a first light-transmitting plate, a second plate, and an injection-mold connector. The second plate spaced apart from the first light-transmitting plate to define a gap. The second plate defines a mounting hole. The mounting hole is configured to accommodate a vehicle-mounted antenna. The injection-molded connector is disposed in the gap, and fixedly connected between the first light-transmitting plate and the second plate.

A curved structure for a work vehicle includes a first curved support extending a length, a second curved support extending a length, the second curved support spaced apart a width from the first curved support, and a curved windshield positioned between and connected to the first and second curved supports.

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.

Embodiments of a laminate including a first curved glass substrate comprising a first viscosity (poises) at a temperature of 630 C.; a second curved glass substrate comprising a second viscosity that is greater than the first viscosity at a temperature of 630 C.; and an interlayer disposed between the first curved glass substrate and the second curved glass substrate, are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the first curved glass substrate exhibits a first sag depth that is within 10% of a second sag depth of the second curved glass substrate. In one or more embodiments, the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate exhibit a shape deviation therebetween of about 5 mm or less as measured by an optical three-dimensional scanner or exhibit minimal optical distortion. Embodiments of vehicles including such laminates and methods for making such laminates are also disclosed.

A glass article has substantially perpendicular draw lines and includes a first outermost pane having a thickness of from 1.1 to 4.0 mm. The glass article also includes a second outermost pane disposed opposite the first outermost pane and having a thickness of from 0.3 to 1.05 mm. The glass article further includes a transparent interlayer disposed between the first and second outermost panes. Each of the first outermost pane and the second outermost pane independently has a length and includes draw lines that extend along the length. The first outermost pane is bonded to the second outermost pane via the transparent interlayer such that the draw lines of the first outermost pane are disposed substantially perpendicularly to the draw lines of the second outermost pane.

A method includes forming a glass structure that has a peripheral edge, wherein an exterior surface of the glass structure includes a compound curvature. The method also includes fractionalizing the glass structure to define a primary portion and one or more panels, wherein the primary portion includes a front window area, a roof area, and a rear window area, and connecting the primary portion and the one or more panels to a body of a vehicle.

A vehicle liftgate includes a main portion comprised of a composite material and defining an opening. A window covers the opening and includes a body extending to a periphery, and having an inner layer, an outer layer, and an intermediate layer. The intermediate layer is comprised of a transparent heat conductive material, and the inner and outer layers are comprised of a transparent polymeric material. A heat generation element is operably connected with the intermediate layer for generating heat to defrost the multi-layered polymeric window. A seal extends about the periphery and is disposed in interlocked relationship with the body to seal the intermediate layer between the inner and outer layers. The inner and outer layers of the body define at least one groove, and the seal includes at least one protrusion disposed within the at least one groove to establish this interlocking relationship.

A laminated glass according to the present invention includes an outer glass sheet, an inner glass sheet that is arranged opposite to the outer glass sheet and has a smaller thickness than that of the outer glass sheet, and an interlayer sandwiched between the outer glass sheet and the inner glass sheet. A transmittance with respect to light having a wavelength of 850 to 950 nm is 30 to 80%. The outer glass sheet has a thickness of 1.8 to 2.3 mm. The inner glass sheet has a thickness of 0.6 to 2.0 mm. The interlayer includes a plurality of layers including at least a core layer. The core layer has a Young's modulus of 1 to 20 MPa at a frequency of 100 Hz and a temperature of 20 C., the Young's modulus being lower than the Young's modulus of the other layer.
