A glass plate module according to the present invention is a glass plate module to be attached at a position adjacent to a door of a vehicle that can be opened and closed, and the glass plate module includes a glass plate, a window assembly that is fixed to a peripheral edge of the glass plate, and a molding portion that includes a tubular molding portion main body provided with a through hole extending along the window assembly, and is fixed to the window assembly. The molding portion main body is configured to come into contact with a portion of the closed door.

A glass fastening system includes a glass portion, a support structure defining a recess, a first adhesive layer disposed on an exterior surface of the glass portion facing the recess in the support structure, a second adhesive layer disposed within the recess of the support structure, and a fastener having a first portion secured to the first adhesive layer and a second portion extending away from the first portion and into the second adhesive layer to secure the glass portion to the support structure.

A motor vehicle (1) has a first front door (2) and a first rear door (3) arranged behind one another on a first longitudinal side of the motor vehicle (1), and a second front door and a second rear door arranged behind one another on a second longitudinal side of the motor vehicle (1). The second longitudinal side lies opposite the first longitudinal side. Each of the two front doors (2) has a lowerable door pane (4), and each of the two rear doors (3) has a fixed door pane (6). The rear doors (3) have a frameless configuration, and the fixed door panes (6) extending as far as the front doors (2).

A glass sealing system includes a glass portion and a first adhesive layer disposed along an exterior surface of the glass portion. The glass sealing system also includes a cover with a first surface secured to the first adhesive layer and a second surface opposing the first surface. The glass sealing system includes a second adhesive layer disposed on the second surface and configured to secure the cover to a support structure. The cover obscures the second adhesive layer from view of a user looking through the glass portion toward the support structure.

A glass plate module according to the present invention is a glass plate module to be attached at a position adjacent to a door of a vehicle that can be opened and closed, and the glass plate module includes a glass plate, a window assembly that is fixed to a peripheral edge of the glass plate, and a molding portion that includes a tubular molding portion main body provided with a through hole extending along the window assembly, and is fixed to the window assembly. The molding portion main body is configured to come into contact with a portion of the closed door.

The invention comprises a sealing and cover strip (8) for the B-pillar (7) of a passenger vehicle (1) comprising a support cover (10) and a decorative cover (9), each of which has a sealing half of a sealing profile for a lowerable side window on at least one of their common longitudinal sides. The present invention improves a sealing and cover strip (8) in such a way that the assembly effort during production of the vehicle is reduced and the optical appearance is improved. This follows from the fact that each sealing profile (11, 12) comprises two sealing halves (13, 14 and 13, 14), respective halves (13, 13) being integral with the decorative cover (9), and respective halves (14, 14) being integral with the support cover (10).

The disclosure describes a tempered vacuum glass, which comprises: at least two glass sheets arranged parallel to each other; surrounding edges of adjacent glass sheets being sealed using an edge sealing structure; and support members placed in an array between the adjacent glass sheets to form a vacuum space. The edge sealing structure is a metallic edge-sealing structure. The structure comprises a first transition layer, a first metallized layer, a first intermetallic compound layer, a solder layer, a second intermetallic compound layer, a second metallized layer, and a second transition layer stacked in that order. The first and second metallized layers are in a spongy skeleton structure formed by sintering a metal paste. The first and second transition layers are formed by sintering the metal paste on the adjacent glass sheets, and contain a glass phase layer including metallic particles and a metal oxide layer with a net structure.

A motor vehicle (1) has a first front door (2) and a first rear door (3) arranged behind one another on a first longitudinal side of the motor vehicle (1), and a second front door and a second rear door arranged behind one another on a second longitudinal side of the motor vehicle (1). The second longitudinal side lies opposite the first longitudinal side. Each of the two front doors (2) has a lowerable door pane (4), and each of the two rear doors (3) has a fixed door pane (6). The rear doors (3) have a frameless configuration, and the fixed door panes (6) extending as far as the front doors (2).

A curtain airbag device mounting structure includes: a first pillar forming a part of a front pillar and extends substantially along a vehicle height direction; a second pillar forming another part of the front pillar, the second pillar being disposed on a rear side of a vehicle relative to the first pillar at a predetermined distance from the first pillar and extending substantially along the vehicle height direction; a transparent member bridged between the first pillar and the second pillar; and a curtain airbag device including a curtain airbag stored along a roof side rail and the second pillar, the curtain airbag being configured to inflate and deploy in a curtain-like fashion over a side portion of a cabin of the vehicle in case of a collision of the vehicle.

A vehicle member join structure includes a sheet-shaped first member made of a lightweight metal, a sheet-shaped second member made of a ferrous metal, a rivet made of a ferrous metal and including a shaft that penetrates the first member and a head that remains at an outer surface of the first member, the shaft being welded to the second member so as to connect the first member and the second member together, and a waterproof section that prevents water ingress by covering a region where the rivet and the first member contact each other.
