Title:
MOUNTING PART OF WINDOW GLASS TO WINDOW HOLE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS59173476
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A gasket for joining separate panels in an edge-to-edge relation with a level surface between the panels. This device may be used for mounting a fixed glass panel such as a windshield in an opening provided in a sheet metal panel. The device comprises a U-shaped channel member for securing to the glass panel, and a contiguous sealing member which is attached to the channel member and mounts the glass in a vehicle bay. The gasket forms a contour, level with the outside surface of the sheet of glass and the car body, thereby minimizing undesirable aerodynamic effects. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the laminated glass panel has an inner ply that extends beyond the periphery of the outer ply to form a stepped edge. The sides of the channel are shaped so that the outer side forms the same contour as the outside surface of the sheet of glass while the outer surface of the other side complements the surface of a flange in the vehicle bay in which it is mounted. The sealing member advantageously includes a rounded protruding member which engages and securely holds a portion of a rabbet in the bay and further has a hollow channel in its mid-portion which extends the length of the sealing member. This channel is deformed during the mounting of the glass panel and is filled with hardening material after the device is in place for further increasing the tightness of the seal between the glass panel and the rabbet.
