Definitions

  • sashes or frames are commonly used provided with grooves in which the edge of the sheet penetrates; such frames cover the rim of the sheet on both its faces along its perimeter.
  • Such frames have the inconveniences to increase the weight of the vehicles and to impose constraints particularly in respect to the construction and to the field of visibility.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method for setting the glass sheets or plates without using any grooved member.
  • the method according to the present invention consists in maintaining the glazing by means of elements, in particular metal elements, which are soldered to the sheet and constitute appendices or extensions forming integral parts of the glazing and connected to the structure surrounding the glazed opening by means of mechanical gripping, driving or connecting means.
  • the invention enables to provide maintaining devices which do not overlap either one nor both faces.
  • the maintaining devices may be such that they will not project outside of the plane of either one or both faces of the sheet and consequently are entirely contained between these two planes.
  • the part of the glass surface on which the appendix is to be fixed may be previously metallized, for instance, by projecting pulverized molten aluminium; such metallized surface may then eventually be coppered and the final soldering takes place for instance by a tin lead solder.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention .consists in using appendices wholly made of lead.
  • Lead is easy to unite to the glass either directly, as by sealing or with interposition of a solder. It can even be cast on portions of the glass sheet which have been previously metallized or not thus obtaining simultaneously the formation of the appendix and its soldering.
  • the appendices made of said metal prevent the vibrations of the structure surrounding the glazing from being transmitted to said glazing to such extent as to become dangerous for the glazing.
  • the invention may .be carried out for instance with .a heat resisting glass, such as tempered glass or a glass having a low expansion coefiicient and able to sufficiently resist to the heating operation required either for soldering or for metallization.
  • a heat resisting glass such as tempered glass or a glass having a low expansion coefiicient and able to sufficiently resist to the heating operation required either for soldering or for metallization.
  • Figs. '1, 2, .3 and 4 are partial schematical perspective views, showing several embodiments of the invention.
  • Figs. 5 and 6 are sectional views showing the connection of the appendix with the structure surrounding the opening.
  • Fig. 7 illustrates a windshield provided with its appendices before being set
  • Fig. 8 is a perspective view of such windshield set in the vehicle.
  • Figs. 9, 10, ll relate to the application of the invention in the case of bent glazing;
  • Fig. 9 is a perspective view of the vehicle.
  • Fig. 10 is a partial perspective view of the glazing before its setting and Fig. 11 shows the method for assembling said glazing to the structure of the vehicle.
  • Figure 12 is an enlarged detail showing the several layers used in uniting the parts when the soldering is effected by depositing a copper layer on a metallized surface to which the solder is applied to secure the arrangements shown in Figure 10.
  • the glass sheet is represented by i, the appendix or soldered element by '2, and the structure surrounding the glazing by 3.
  • the appendix 2 is soldered to one of the faces of the sheet I (the upper face in the given example), the other face being entirely free.
  • appendix 2b is soldered to the edge of the glass sheet i, thus leaving both faces of the sheet entirely free.
  • the resulting appendix constitutes a prolongation of the sheet in its own plane, and consequently it-is possible to pile up, in contact with each other, the glass sheets provided with their appendices.
  • a notch 4 is provided in the edge of the sheet, constituting an indentation into which the soldered element 20 is fitted.
  • the appendix 2esoldered to the edge of the sheet l has a terminal part (5 which fits into the corresponding part '1 of the surrounding structure 3, the assemblage being made by means of bolts :3, nuts M. and washers 82).
  • the face 9 of the glass sheet may be exactly located in the prolongation of the face 10 of the surrounding structure, without any prominent part.
  • a smooth continuous surface may be obtained, which is particularly advantageous namely for stream line purposes.
  • the appendix 2f is assembled with the surrounding structure 3 by means of an intermediary member ll, having its end I2 embedded in the appendix 2.
  • This arrangement is particularly advantageous in the case of an appendix made of lead, as in said case it is easy to embed the member ll into the lead at the time when the latter is cast on the glass sheet.
  • the assemblage to the surrounding structure may be made by the intermediary of the member I I which may be of a more resistant metal and consequently can stand a strong clasping and even a riveting 13.
  • Fig. 7 shows the windshield such as it is supplied to the car constructor ready to be fitted. At its upper part it is provided with two appendices Zg to be mounted in hinges born by the body of the vehicle.
  • the windshield has an appendix 271. to which is assembled the handle carried by the vehicle structure and used for varying the inclination of the windshield which oscillates around the hinges of its upper part.
  • Fig. 8 illustrates a portion I6 of the body of a vehicle provided with such a windshield I.
  • the aperture I! left for visibility may have the size of the whole glazing, i. e. the driver has the benefit of the total available visibility of the glazing, except for the three notches I 4 and I which might even be dispensed with if the arrangement according -to Fig. 2 is used.
  • Fig. 9 shows a fragment 18 of a vehicle body such as, for instance, a railway carriage or a hull of an airplane, with bent glazings l. While the usual fastening methods require frames with grooves, i. e. a metal part, the manufacture of which is complicated on account of its bent shape, the glazing made according to the present invention enables an easy construction.
  • Fig. 11 shows the method for such assemblage.
  • the appendix or appendices may be united directly to the glass or, as shown in Figure 12, may be united therewith by first depositing on the glass a layer of molten aluminum 20 and depositing thereon a layer of copper 20a and then solder 20b.
  • the surrounding structure 3 is composed of two iron sheets 3a and 3b and the continuous appendix 212 is fastened on these sheets with the interposition of the counter plate l9.
  • the outside of the vehicle may be constituted as a continuous surface practically without any ridge or projection which would have prevented the air from sliding along the walls, said surface having any desired bent profile.
  • the invention is not limited to the case of appendices located on the edge of the sheet, but it also includes the case of elements soldered on portions of the sheet inside its perimeter, either when said elements are used to properly maintain the glass sheet itself, or else when, on the contrary, other members are to be maintained by the sheet itself, as for instance, antifrost devices, glass wipers, and other subsidiary members.
  • the appendices may also be fixed in holes provided in the glass sheet.
  • a structural unit the combination of a supporting frame provided with an opening of predetermined dimensions and area, a full vision transparent pane of glass shaped to dimensions and area to coincide with and fit in said opening with the opposing surfaces of said pane unobscured by said supporting frame thereby maintaining the transparent pane of glass free for total visibility, a connector affixed to the edge portion only of the pane without deformation thereof and lying within the plane of the opposite surfaces of the pane and extending outwardly therefrom for engagement with the supporting frame and means for maintaining engagement of the connector and the supporting frame.
  • a window adapted for use in vehicles having stream-lined bodies comprising a transparent pane of glass fitting in an opening provided in the body and flush with the outer surface of the body, said pane having edges dimensioned closely to fit and lie within the opening in said body, a metallic connector affixed to the edge portion only of the pane without deformation thereof and lying within the plane of the opposite surfaces of the pane and extending outwardly therefrom for engagement with the body and. retaining means cooperating only with the extension and to the exclusion of the pane adapted to hold the pane in place.
  • edge portion of the sheet contiguous to the connector carries a film of aluminum and a superposed film of copper to which the connector is soldered.
  • edge portion of the sheet contiguous to the connector carries a film of aluminum and a superposed film of copper to which the connector is soldered.
