Abstract

A glass connection element which, due to its special design, can be soldered to glass in an automated process. The glass connection element is made from a hard material which is implemented in an extremely thin design. As a result the glass connection element retains partial flexibility.

Description

SEMI-FLEXIBLE ON-GLASS CONNECTION ELEMENT
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims the benefit of priority under Article 8 of the Patent Cooperation Treaty to German Utility Model Application No. 20 2015 007 100.7, now German Utility Model DE 20 2015 006 790 Ul, having a filing date of September 26, 2015, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention generally relates to an electrical connection element for use on glass. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Conventional glass connection elements comprise of individual round cables or flexible foil conductors. The round cables tend to twist and bend during transportation, and must be separately realigned or reoriented by a worker.
Furthermore, when using flexible foil conductors, automated handling is made difficult due to their flexibility.
The invention includes a glass connection element which, due to its special design, can be soldered to glass in an automated process.
The special feature of this glass connection element is that, in contrast to connections currently in use, it is semi-flexible and holds its shape without torsion. Another special feature of this glass connection element is that it features holes and or metal additives which enable automated pick-up and handling.
This glass connection element is new for this functionality; it is unique in this technology and application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The present invention will now be described, by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a glass connection element according to one embodiment.;
Fig. 2 is a view of a first version the glass connection according to one embodiment; and
Fig. 3 is a view of a second version the glass connection according to one embodiment according to one embodiment. DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
The semi-flexible glass connection element can be designed in two different versions:
Version 1:
As a single-wire conductor with or without a bridge. Usually a bridge is switched between two "shafts" of the existing plug in three-pole design for an "availability request" of the glass connection element.
Version 2:
As a two-wire conductor with or without a bridge. Usually a bridge is switched between two "shafts" of the generally three -pole plug for an "availability request" of the glass connection element. REFERENCE SIGNS LIST
1 Semi-flexible glass connection;
2 Bridge;
3 Plug;
4 Soldering pad;
5 Guide;
6 Hole; and
7 Metal.

Claims
