Abstract
Abstract A laminated glazing pane comprised of at least two sheets of vitreous material joined together by an intervening layer of plastic material given improved sound attenuation properties by constructing the pane in such a manner that its base frequency (f) is between 0.70 and 0.97 times its theoretical base frequency (f 0 ).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
In a laminated glazing pane comprising at least two sheets of vitreous material and an intervening layer of adhesive material bonding said sheets together, the improvement wherein said intervening layer is of a predetermined thickness and comprises polyvinyl chloride and an added plasticizer, said plasticizer being present in a proportion of 30.5% to 35%, by weight, of said intervening layer, for causing the numerical value of the base frequency (f) of said laminated pane to lie in the range 0.70f 9 ≦ f ≦ 0.97f 0 where f 0 is the theoretical base frequency of the pane, whereby the pane has improved sound damping properties.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
105 words
In a laminated glazing pane comprising at least two sheets of vitreous material and an intervening layer of adhesive material bonding said sheets together, the improvement wherein said intervening layer is of a predetermined thickness and comprises polyvinyl chloride and an added plasticizer, said plasticizer being present in a proportion of 30.5% to 35%, by weight, of said intervening layer, for causing the numerical value of the base frequency (f) of said laminated pane to lie in the range 0.70f 9 ≦ f ≦ 0.97f 0 where f 0 is the theoretical base frequency of the pane, whereby the pane has improved sound damping properties.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A pane as defined in claim 1 wherein the measured base frequency thereof lies in the range 0.75f 0 ≦ f ≦ 0.90f 0 .

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
42 words
A multiple glazing panel comprising: a first vitreous pane composed of a first vitreous sheet; a laminated pane as defined in claim 1; and means attached to the margins of said panes and holding said panes in spaced relation to one another.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
A panel as defined in claim 7 wherein each vitreous sheet of said laminated pane is thinner than said first pane.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
23 words
A panel as defined in claim 8 wherein the total thickness of said laminated pane is less than that of said first pane.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
25 words
A panel as defined in claim 9 wherein said first pane has a thickness at least 1.5 times the total thickness of said laminated pane.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
29 words
A panel as defined in claim 8 wherein each vitreous sheet of said laminated pane has a thickness of no greater than one-half the thickness of said first pane.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
19 words
A panel as defined in claim 8 wherein said first pane has a thickness of at least 8 mm.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
26 words
