Abstract

A glazing and notably a vehicle glazing, includes a laminated glazed element including an outside sheet of glass, an inside sheet of glass and an interlayer sheet of plastic situated between the two sheets of glass, wherein the profiled beading includes, when viewed in cross section, an interlayer flange situated between the interlayer face of the outside sheet of glass and the interlayer face of the inside sheet of glass.

Claims

1. A glazing, comprising a laminated glazed element comprising an outside sheet of glass, an inside sheet of glass and an interlayer sheet of plastic situated between said outside and inside sheets of glass,

said outside sheet of glass having an outside face, a first edge face and a first interlayer face which is oriented toward said interlayer sheet of plastic,

said inside sheet of glass having a second interlayer face which is oriented toward said interlayer sheet of plastic, a second edge face and an inside face,

said glazing comprising along at least part of at least one edge a profiled beading comprising a groove for clip-fastening a cover piece onto said profiled beading, said cover piece comprising, viewed in cross section, a barbed hook that enters said groove at the time of clip-fastening,

wherein said interlayer sheet of plastic includes a third edge face that is set back centripetally with respect to both the first edge face and the second edge face so that, when said glazing is viewed in cross-section, a region, in which said interlayer sheet of plastic is absent, is formed between said first interlayer face of said outside sheet of glass and said second interlayer face of said inside sheet of glass and between the third edge face and at least one of the first and the second edge face,

wherein said profiled beading comprises, when viewed in cross section, an interlayer flange situated in said region between said first interlayer face of said outside sheet of glass and said second interlayer face of said inside sheet of glass, and wherein the interlayer flange does not contact the third edge face.

2. The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein said interlayer flange has a width comprised between 2.0 and 10.0 mm.

3. The glazing as claimed in claim 2, wherein the width of said interlayer flange is comprised between 2.0 and 6.0 mm.

4. The glazing as claimed in claim 3, wherein the width of said interlayer flange is comprised between 3.0 and 5.0 mm.

5. The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein said interlayer flange is formed as an integral part of said beading.

6. The glazing as claimed in claim 5, wherein said interlayer flange comprises a flat tenon that comes into contact neither with said interlayer face of said outside sheet of glass nor with said interlayer face of said inside sheet of glass.

7. The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein said interlayer flange is made of a corrugated tenon.

8. The glazing as claimed in claim 7, wherein said corrugated tenon extends into the material of which said groove is made.

9. The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein said profiled beading is situated against said first edge face of said outside sheet of glass.

10. The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein said profiled beading is situated against said second edge face of said inside sheet of glass.

11. The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein said profiled beading is situated along two lateral edges of said glazed element and/or along an upper edge of said glazed element.

12. The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein said interlayer flange has a thickness equal to a distance between said outside sheet of glass and said inside sheet of glass.

13. The glazing as claimed in claim 12, wherein said interlayer flange has a thickness equal to a thickness of said interlayer sheet of plastic.

14. The glazing as claimed in claim 13, wherein said interlayer flange has a thickness equal to 0.76 mm.

15. The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein said interlayer flange has a thickness less than a distance between said outside sheet of glass and said inside sheet of glass.

16. The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein said groove is situated facing the first edge face of said outside sheet of glass and/or facing the second edge face of said inside sheet of glass.

17. The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein said groove is situated above said outside face of said outside sheet of glass.

18. The glazing as claimed in claim 17, wherein said profiled beading has, in cross section, the shape of an m rotated through 90°

, with a first cavity of the m to accommodate the barbed hook of said cover piece and a second cavity of the in to straddle said outside sheet of glass.

19. The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein said profiled beading comprises, when viewed in cross section, an outside flange situated above said outside face of said outside sheet of glass.

20. The glazing as claimed in claim 19, wherein said outside flange and/or said inside flange comprises a hinge portion made of a flexible polymer material.

21. The glazing as claimed in claim 20, wherein the hinge portion has a width comprised between 0.5 and 2.0 mm.

22. The glazing as claimed in claim 19, wherein said outside flange and/or said inside flange comprises a narrowing of section.

23. The glazing as claimed in claim 22, wherein said narrowing of section has a thickness that is half the thickness of said outside flange and/or of said inside flange which bears it.

24. The glazing as claimed in claim 19, wherein said outside flange comprises an upper end stop extending at right angles.

25. The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein said profiled beading comprises, when viewed in cross section, an inside flange situated below said inside face of said inside sheet of glass.

26. The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein, viewed in cross section, said outside face of said outside sheet of glass is free in relation to said groove and said inside face of said inside sheet of glass is free in relation to said groove.

27. The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein said barbed hook comprises, viewed in cross section, a lip oriented toward the outside of said groove.

28. The glazing as claimed in claim 27, wherein said lip is made in material different than that of said barbed hook.

29. The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein said barbed hook comprises, viewed in cross section, a frontal end stop situated outside of said groove.

30. The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein said groove comprises a bottom which forms an asymmetric U with a larger radius of curvature on one side.

31. The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein the glazing is a vehicle glazing.
