A method for making a laminated glazing panel is described. A bolt having a head portion and a stem portion extending therefrom is positioned in a hole in a sheet of glazing material so that a first surface of the head portion is faces in the direction of a first major surface of the sheet of glazing material and the stem portion extends beyond a second major surface of the sheet of glazing material. A sheet of adhesive interlayer material is positioned on the first major surface of the sheet of glazing material to cover the first surface of the head portion. Suitable lamination conditions are used to laminate the sheet of adhesive interlayer material to the sheet of glazing material. During lamination, fluid trapped between the first surface of the head portion and the sheet of adhesive interlayer material is removed via a fluid pathway associated with the stem portion. Laminated glazing panels made using the method are also described.

A laminated glazing panel comprising first and second sheets of glazing material joined by an interlayer structure comprising a first sheet of adhesive interlayer material is described. Inboard of a peripheral edge of the first sheet of glazing material, the first sheet of glazing material has a hole therein. The laminated glazing panel further comprises a glazing fitting secured thereto, the glazing fitting comprising a head portion and an attachment feature. The head portion is positioned in the hole such that a first surface thereof faces the first sheet of adhesive interlayer material. Some of the first sheet of adhesive interlayer material is in the hole and is operatively associated with the first attachment feature thereby attaching the glazing fitting to the first sheet of adhesive interlayer material. Suitable glazing fittings and methods of making such laminated glazing panels are also described.

A device includes a vehicle glazing, including, in a peripheral zone, a through-hole including an insert and a thermal camera.

The use of camera-based safety systems is growing at a rapid rate in modern automobiles. At the same time, windshields, where many of the cameras are mounted, are becoming larger and more complex in shape. As the industry moves towards vehicles with full autonomous capability, the number of cameras required and the resolution of the cameras are both increasing. However, the optical quality of the windshield is less than optimal. One of the problems is caused by the typical black enamel frit that is printed on the glass, prior to heating and bending, to hide or obscure the camera hardware. The abrupt thermal gradients during bending, caused by the heat absorbing black frit, result in a high level of distortion in the camera field of view. The object of this invention is to provide laminated automotive glazing having an obscuration area produced by creating an obscuration after heating and bending the glass by removing a portion of the plastic interlayer glass in or near the camera field of view (camera obscuration) or/and in the edges of the windshield (black band) and replacing it with an inlay made of a substantially opaque plastic or other suitable material in or near the camera field of view (camera obscuration) or/and in the edges of the windshield (black band) rather than printing and firing an enamel frit on the glass. This results in a laminate having superior optical quality, higher strength and a lower probability of breakage as compared to a laminate with a black enamel frit obscuration.
