Claims

1. A pane arrangement, comprising: a glass pane, having a first main surface, a second main surface opposite the first main surface and a pane edge joining the first main surface and the second main surface; and a profile frame component bordering the glass pane, the profile frame component being located on the pane edge and on the first main surface of the glass pane, wherein the profile frame component is multi-layered, including a first layer and a second layer, said first layer being between the second layer and the first main surface, said first layer being harder than said second layer, and the first and second layers being integrally connected, the first layer having at least one holding element engaged with the glass pane, and the second layer having protruding projections protruding over the first layer; wherein the glass pane is in direct contact with the profile frame component except where a cavity is located between the first main surface of the glass pane and the first layer; wherein the at least one holding element comprises at least one latch that grasps the glass pane on the pane edge and on a corner of the second main surface, but not on the remainder of the second main surface; wherein the profile frame component has a stirrup shape in cross-section and has contact surfaces for contacting the glass pane; and wherein the second layer is sprayingly connected to the first layer.

2. The pane arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the protruding projections are each respectively lip-shaped.

3. The pane arrangement according to claim 2, wherein the lip-shaped protruding projections project approximately perpendicularly from a surface of the profile frame component.

4. The pane arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the first layer is made of PP, ABS, or hard PVC, and the second layer is made of TPE or soft PVC.

5. The pane arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the pane arrangement is included in a vehicle body.

6. The pane arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the second layer has two projections located at opposite ends of the cavity.

7. The pane arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the cavity extends over a majority of the length of the profile frame component.

8. The pane arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the pane arrangement comprises only the glass pane and the profile frame component.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(10) The pane arrangement in FIG. 1 features a glass pane 1 and two pane arrangements according to the invention. The glass pane 1 is provided, for example, for a rear side window of a motor vehicle; it is installed in a stationary position in a motor vehicle body. A flange 6 of a motor vehicle body is shown in FIG. 3.

(11) FIG. 3 shows a pane arrangement arranged at a 180 angle to the glass pane 1 in FIG. 1. The sectional views in FIGS. 2, 4 and 6 also show this pane arrangement.

(12) The pane arrangement comprises a profile frame component 2. The profile frame component 2 consists of a layer 3 of hard material and a layer 4 of soft material. Both layers 3, 4 are fixedly connected to each other, for example by spraying the soft layer 4 onto the hard layer 3.

(13) The hard layer 3 has a holding element that may enter into a holding connection with the glass pane 1. The holding element is formed by a latch 5 provided by the hard layer 3, which is guided over the edge of the glass pane 1. The profile frame component 2 is connected by this holding element to the edge of the glass pane 1.

(14) The soft layer 4 of the profile frame component 2 completely covers the hard layer 3 of the profile frame component 2. The soft layer also has projections 9 and 10 protruding over the hard layer 3. These projections 9, 10 protrude beyond the hard layer 3 and may be contacted to adjacent components. In this way, the projection 10 is conducted against the glass pane 1. This projection 10 seals the contact between the profile frame component 2 and the glass pane 1 in this area. The other projection 9 protrudes vertically from the surface of the profile frame component 2 and forms a sealing lip, which is conducted against the body flange 6. In this way, the gap between the edge of the pane assembly and the associated body flange 6 is bridged and sealed.

(15) FIG. 3 also shows that a cavity 11 remains between the surface of the glass pane 1 and the hard layer 3. This cavity 11 is enclosed by the profile frame component 1; because of the incomplete filling of the profile frame component, the use of material is reduced, as is the weight.

(16) The overall design of the projection 9 may also be seen in FIG. 1.

(17) FIG. 2a shows the design of the holding elements in detail. The latch 5 of the profile frame component 2 is guided over the edge of the glass pane 1.

(18) In FIG. 2b, the protrusion of the soft layer 4 over the hard layer 3 in the profile frame component 2 may once again be observed.

(19) The straight edge of the glass pane 1 in FIG. 1 is also associated with a pane arrangement according to the invention, as shown in FIG. 5. Here again, a profile frame component 2 with the design according to the invention is associated with an edge of the glass pane 1.

(20) Any of the features mentioned in the preceding description and in the claims may be freely selected and combined with the features of the independent claim. The disclosure of the invention is thus not limited to the described or claimed combinations of features; rather, all feature combinations that are reasonable in the context of the invention should be considered disclosed.
