Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a laminated glazing pane which may be used as an aircraft windshield. The pane comprises at least two glass sheets connected together by an intermediate layer of polyvinyl butyral and, in its marginal zone, between at least one glass sheet and the intermediate layer, at least one adhesive ring comprising a plastic material which absorbs at least a portion of the stresses to which the pane is subjected during operation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 22
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
A laminated glazing pane for use as an aircraft windshield, comprising at least two glass sheets separated by an intermediate film of a polyvinyl butyral type plastic material, and at least one ring comprising a plastic material having: a shear modulus of from 1 to 100 MPa at between -30° C. and +40° C. which shear modulus is smaller than the shear modulus of the intermediate film; greater elongation properties than the elongation properties of the intermediate film; and properties of adhesion to the intermediate film and to the glass, said ring interposed between at least one glass sheet and the intermediate film in the marginal part of the pane.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
110 words
A laminated glazing pane for use as an aircraft windshield, comprising at least two glass sheets separated by an intermediate film of a polyvinyl butyral type plastic material, and at least one ring comprising a plastic material having: a shear modulus of from 1 to 100 MPa at between -30° C. and +40° C. which shear modulus is smaller than the shear modulus of the intermediate film; greater elongation properties than the elongation properties of the intermediate film; and properties of adhesion to the intermediate film and to the glass, said ring interposed between at least one glass sheet and the intermediate film in the marginal part of the pane.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words

Claim 14
Dependent Claim
41 words
The laminated glazing pane according to claim 1, characterized in that the adhesiveness of the ring to the intermediate film and to the glass is of the same order of magnitude as the adhesiveness of the intermediate film to the glass.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
22 words
The laminated glazing pane according to claim 1, further comprising a band partly embedded in the intermediate polyvinyl butyral type plastic material.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
26 words
