A process for preparing a laminated glazing comprises providing a first glass sheet formed into a desired shape with a first thickness by a first procedure and providing a second glass sheet formed into a desired shape with a second thickness by a second procedure with an interlayer located therebetween, and laminating together the first and second glass sheets and the interlayer at a temperature and pressure sufficient to adhere the interlayer material to the glass sheets and in which the process further comprises applying a mould which is shaped substantially the same as the first glass sheet, against the second glass sheet, during laminating to adhere the interlayer material to the two glass sheets such that after lamination, the shape of the second glass sheet is substantially the same as the shape of the first glass sheet.

A process for manufacturing a transport vehicle laminated glazing includes placing in succession to form a stack: a first glazing, a first lamination interlayer made of polymeric material, a second lamination interlayer made of polymeric material and, in a reserve produced in the latter, a flexible OLED element or screen, which is directly extended toward one edge of the glazing by a connection element that is connected thereto and that extends out of the stack, a third lamination interlayer made of polymeric material, and a second glazing, then in subjecting the resulting assembly to a vacuum at room temperature so as to remove air from the stack, then heating the resulting assembly to a temperature of at most equal to 85 C. while continuing to subject it to a vacuum.

A method for pre-forming a curved thermoplastic laminate to be incorporated in composed automotive windows, the method including the processing steps of; providing a thermoplastic laminate, clamping said thermoplastic laminate from opposite flat sides between a first and a second flexible clamping layer, applying a clamping force to the thermoplastic laminate, heating the clamped thermoplastic laminate, forming the clamped and heated thermoplastic laminate, and cooling the thermoplastic laminate. The invention also relates to a pre-formed thermoplastic laminate that is pre-formed by such method as well a system for pre-forming such a thermoplastic laminate.

A device for producing composite sheets, in particular laminated glass plates, is proposed, comprising: an evacuating device (1), a vacuum-tight transporting surface (16) for conveying the sheets (6, 19, 20) to be laminated into the evacuating device and for conveying the sheets out of the evacuating device, and a vacuum-tight release sheet (14) that is transported along with the transporting surface, wherein the sheets to be laminated are placed between the transporting surface and the release sheet, characterized in that a seal (5) that runs around the sheets, is transported along with them and can be released is provided on the transporting surface and/or on the release sheet and allows an evacuation of the space between the transporting surface and the release sheet and thus allows a vacuum bag (18) containing the sheets to be formed in the evacuating device. A corresponding method and a corresponding vacuum bag (18) are likewise disclosed.

A composite pane with at least one functional element, includes a first pane including an inner side III and an outer side IV, a second pane including an inner side II and an outer side I, a thermoplastic intermediate layer that joins the inner side III of the first pane laminarly to the inner side II of the second pane, at least one functional element that is incorporated into the thermoplastic intermediate layer, wherein the at least one functional element is directly adjacent the inner side III of the first pane and/or the inner side II of the second pane, and a deaeration structure is mounted at least in the region of the functional element that is directly adjacent the first pane and/or second pane.

A process for producing glass laminates including at least one sheet of glass having a thickness not exceeding 1.0 mm with reduced optical distortion and shape consistency. A pre-laminate stack of two glass sheets and a polymer interlayer are stacked between two buffer plates that are formed nominally to the desired shape of the laminate mold. The pre-laminate stack is held between the buffer plates while a vacuum is applied to the edges of the pre-laminate stack and the stack is heated to a temperature somewhat above the softening temperature of the interlayer to de-air and tack the interlayer to the two glass sheets forming the desired shaped laminate with reduced optical distortion.
