Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrically powered encapsulated glazing and more specifically an electrical supply terminal for encapsulated glazing having coatings or equipment requiring an electrical supply.
  • terminals used with conventional glazing that is to say not encapsulated, such as for example those described in patent document FR 1527738 are not compatible with encapsulation of glazing, that is to say the incorporation of said glazing in a frame in polymerized organic material produced by molding on the periphery of said glazing.
  • the electrical terminals would be encased in polymerized material and should first be cleared so that the electrical connection could be made.
  • these conventional terminals are generally quite fragile and they may not withstand the release operation without damage.
  • the encapsulation frame would be damaged.
  • the present invention provides an electrical terminal for encapsulated glazing, easy to install, requiring no release operation after encapsulation, at a cost reduced to such an extent that it is conceivable to systematically equip all of the encapsulated glazing likely to be supplied electrically, whether these glazings are actually supplied or not, the unused terminal does not affect the aesthetics of the glazing and does not cause any discomfort.
  • This terminal can also be used for non-encapsulated glazing.
  • the terminal according to the invention consists of a hollow rivet or a press button fixed so as to provide the electrical connection on a conductive area deposited on the glazing.
  • the terminal is fixed on a conducting zone of the glazing, at the edge of said glazing and it is coated in the polymer for encapsulating the glazing so that it is flush with the external surface of the material d encapsulation forming a frame around the glazing.
  • this terminal is a female terminal constituted by a hollow rivet whose flared part is fixed to the glazing and whose end of the opposite narrowed part is flush with the surface of the encapsulation material.
  • the invention is particularly suitable for the supply of electric current, of encapsulated glazing covered on all or part of their surface with electrically conductive deposits.
  • These deposits are conductive strips produced by screen printing and electroplating, and / or thin layers of metal or metal oxides.
  • Conductive layers other than those above exemplified are also affected by this invention.
  • the glazing thus coated is used both in the automotive field and in the building sector.
  • It can be deposits and / or heating layers, burglar-proof (that is to say the breaking of the electrical continuity and / or the modification of the electrical resistance, or the leakage effect of the field, it ie no IR reflection, following a breakage following a break-in trigger a signal warning of the break-in or an action), with radio antenna function, with IR remote control signal receiver function.
  • a terminal 1 is fixed on the conductive deposit 2 covering all or part of a glazing unit 3, this conductive deposit being, as already said, a screen-printed deposit and / or a thin metallic layer (metal or metal oxide).
  • This terminal 1 is fixed on a deposit part flush with the edge of the glazing 3 intended to be subsequently coated with an encapsulation frame made of polymerized organic material.
  • this terminal is soldered or soldered with tin.
  • terminal 1 can be associated with a clamp 4 (fig. 4) intended to overlap the edge of the glazing 3 having on at least one face the deposit and / or the conductive film 2, said clamp exerting a spring effect which guarantees electrical contact and good support even before it is coated with the material of the encapsulation frame.
  • a clamp 4 (fig. 4) intended to overlap the edge of the glazing 3 having on at least one face the deposit and / or the conductive film 2, said clamp exerting a spring effect which guarantees electrical contact and good support even before it is coated with the material of the encapsulation frame.
  • This clamp 4 remains of reduced dimensions so as to be able to be inserted into the encapsulation mold and not to form an annoying protuberance after encapsulation of the glazing.
  • this terminal 1 is provided to be of the same order of magnitude as the thickness of the encapsulation frame, so that access to this terminal does not require any release of polymerized material, so also that this terminal does not form a protrusion, annoying for the aesthetics of glazing, for mounting or handling the glazing, for the manufacture of the encapsulation frame and the insertion of the glazing thus equipped in the mold used to manufacture this frame.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 Different terminal forms are possible: a hollow rivet of the type shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a male or female but preferably female press button, etc.
  • the hollow rivet shown in Figures 1 to 3 has the advantage of having an enlarged base thanks to which it can be easily welded and thanks to which also a good electrical contact can be established, to have a narrowed opposite end does not not detrimental to aesthetics, to be a very cheap commonplace product.
  • the glazing 3, equipped with its terminal 1, for example in the form of a hollow rivet, is placed in an encapsulation mold 5, the edge of the glazing 3 equipped with its terminal 1 then being in the enlarged space 6 of the mold 5 (fig. 3) inside which will later be injected or poured the organic material intended to constitute the encapsulation framework.
  • the encapsulated glazing is removed from the mold.
  • Terminal 1 is coated in organic matter, which reinforces its retention, prevents its degradation following shocks, prevents its corrosion and deterioration of the electrical contact.
  • terminal 1 The connection of terminal 1 to an electrical power source is done simply by connecting a plug to terminal 1, of the banana plug type in the case of a terminal 1 in the form of a rivet.
  • connection of this plug may require the insertion of a film of organic material which would cover the cover of the rivet.
  • the glazing on which this terminal can be fixed is single or multiple glazing.
  • the electrical terminal has been described as being disposed on the edge of the glazing in an area intended to be enclosed in the material of the encapsulation frame.
  • terminals such as hollow rivets or snaps fastened securely by soldering or welding on a glazing in a conductive zone, may as well be elsewhere than on the edges of said glazing, for example in the regions of the center of the glazing, whether or not this glazing is encapsulated.
  • terminals have been described as being used for electrically supplying conductive deposits made on the glazing, but they can also be used for electrically supplying electrical elements incorporated in the glazing or attached to or associated with the glazing, for example lighting, (lamps, headlights) various electrical instruments. Admittedly, the incorporation of these terminals in the encapsulation material makes them almost invisible, reinforces their protection against impact or corrosion, and therefore has various advantages; but this is not essential.
