The laminated glazing proposed in this invention has an outer glass layer () with holes () and a thin inner facing glass layer () with shorter length dimension whereas the bottom edge () does not have holes on it and which does not overlap with the holes () in the outer glass layer (). One or more retention layers (), comprising reinforcement and adhesive layers, serve to connect the glazing mounting means () to both of the glass layers () providing a thin laminated glazing with holes () that in the event of failure is retained by the mounting means ().

Hybrid asymmetric automotive laminate

A laminated glazing with at least one step-shaped functional portion comprising two stack of components, the main stack of components in which the alteration of its properties is not desirable, and a second stack of components comprising a functional layer.

Laminated glazing with a step-shaped functional portion

Laminated glazing, once limited to just the windshield, is finding more and more application in other positions on the vehicle due to its ability to improve passenger safety, security and comfort. Problems are encountered when producing a laminated version of a tempered part with holes, because tempered glass is 4 to 5 times stronger than annealed glass. The laminate of the invention has a hole in the exterior glass layer. An insert is bonded to a cutout in the area of the hole on the interior glass layer so as to reinforce the hole and distribute the load over a wider area. The result is a laminated glazing with one or more holes that has the reliability of and is a direct replacement for a tempered part.

Automotive laminate with hole

The object of this invention is to provide a laminated automotive glazing having an obscuration area produced by printing the obscuration on a film laminated between at least two layers of plastic interlayers rather than printing and firing an enamel frit onto 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.

Obscuration having superior strength and optical quality for an automotive laminate

The object of this invention is to provide a laminated automotive glazing having an obscuration area produced by printing the obscuration on a film laminated between at least two layers of plastic interlayers or directly on the interlayer rather than printing and firing an enamel frit onto 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.

Laminated automotive glazing including plastic layers and glass having an obscuration area produced by printing on the plastic layers of the laminate rather than printing and firing a black enamel frit onto the glass. This results in an obscuration having superior optical quality, higher strength and a lower probability of breakage as compared to a black enamel frit obscuration.
