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 method for manufacturing a laminated glass whereby, in a laminated glass comprising a liquid crystal film sandwiched therein and having a three-dimensionally curved surface shape, the formation of wrinkles in the liquid crystal film can be suppressed; and a laminated glass which has a three-dimensionally curved surface shape and in which wrinkles in a liquid crystal film sandwiched therein are suppressed. The method for manufacturing the laminated glass comprises: a heat molding step for heating the liquid crystal film to a temperature higher than the glass transition point of the first base material layer and the second base material layer; and a bonding step for, after completing the heat molding step, heating the laminate, wherein the liquid crystal film is sandwiched between the first glass sheet and the second glass sheet, at a temperature lower than the glass transition point and bonding the same by applying a preset pressure.

The present invention provides a lightweight blast-mitigating polycarbonate laminate system comprising at least one polycarbonate sheet, a portion of which is laminated to a glass layer having a thickness between 0.25 times and less than 1 times the thickness of the polycarbonate sheet. The laminate system may further include fasteners to attach the system to a building, positioned to prevent the laminate system from breaking or detaching in case of a blast event.

Provided is a glass resin laminate (1) obtained laminating glass sheets (5, 6) on both surfaces of a resin, plate (2) through intermediation of adhesive layers (3, 4) to integrate the plate and the sheets, in which an intermediate sheet (7) is interposed in the adhesive layer (3) on one surface side of the resin plate (2). In addition, on the side where the intermediate sheet (7) is interposed, the glass sheet (5) has a thickness of: from 0.01 mm to 1 mm, and the thickness of the adhesive layer (3) excluding the intermediate sheet (7) is smaller than the thickness of the resin plate (2). In addition, the intermediate sheet (7) has a tensile modulus larger than the tensile modulus of the adhesive layer (3).

A protective housing wherein two parts (102, 104) of the housing may be closed together to encapsulate connectors and associated components that are external to the glazing laminate. The protective housing is sealed to the glazing and between the two parts to provide a fluid-tight housing. The parts of the protective housing are connected to the glazing and to each other by adhesive layers (116, 118, 120).

A vehicle glazing (10) wherein a light guide stack (22) is located between a portion of the inner transparency (26) and the outer transparency (28). The light guide stack includes a polycarbonate film (32) that is bonded to the transparencies by layers of PET (38, 40) that are secured to the polycarbonate film on one side by silicone (34, 36) and that are secured to the transparencies on the other side by PVB (42, 44). The terminal end of an extending tab of the polycarbonate film forms an edge that is connected to a light bar (14) that such visible light propagates through the light bar and into the polycarbonate film through the edge. Visible light propagates through etchings in the smooth surface of the polycarbonate film to form an image. An extension of one of the transparencies protects the polycarbonate tab and supports the light bar during installation of the glazing into the vehicle portal.

Some embodiments of present disclosure are directed to a micro-perforated glass or glass-ceramics laminate, comprising a first substrate laminated to a second substrate by a first polymer interlayer, wherein the first and the second substrates are independently selected from glass or glass-ceramics, and a plurality of micro-perforations, each of the plurality of micro-perforations extending through the first substrate, the first polymer interlayer, and the second substrate. Some embodiments are directed to methods of forming such micro-perforated glass or glass-ceramics laminates.

A solar radiation shielding laminated structure, having high visible light transmission property and solar radiation shielding property, low haze value, and high environmental stability with inexpensive production cost, using solar radiation shielding fine particles having high visible light transmission property and excellent solar shielding property and weather resistance, and provides a solar radiation shielding laminated structure in which an interlayer is sandwiched between two laminated sheets; the interlayer having, as an intermediate film, one or more kinds selected from a resin sheet containing solar radiation shielding fine particles and a resin film containing solar radiation shielding fine particles, the laminated sheets being selected from a sheet-glass not containing solar radiation shielding fine particles and a resin board not containing solar radiation shielding fine particles; wherein the solar radiation shielding fine particles are solar radiation shielding fine particles containing calcium lanthanum boride fine particles represented by general formula CaxLa1-xBm.

The present disclosure relates to a glass cover, particularly a glass cover used in a vehicle roof, which includes a glass pane, anti-shatter layer means arranged on an underside of the glass pane, and an encapsulation formed on an edge region of the glass pane wherein the anti-shatter layer means covers the whole underside of the glass pane and extends into the encapsulation.

A ballistic glass assembly may include a first layer of a poly ethylene terephthalate (PET) adhesive film. The ballistic glass assembly may further include a second layer of glass. The ballistic glass assembly may also include a substantially transparent impact resistant material positioned on an opposite side of the second layer from the first layer.
