VERY THIN WITHDRAWN INSIDE GLASS SHEET GLASS.
FR 3 053 922 - A1 ft ”) The laminated glazing comprises two sheets of glass (1, 3) and an interlayer polymeric layer (2) arranged between them. The first glass sheet (1) is thicker than the second glass sheet (3) whose thickness is less than 1.2 mm. The edge (3a) of the second glass sheet (3) is set back (D 1) relative to the edge (la) of the first glass sheet (1) over all or part of the periphery of the glazing (10), this which protects the second, more fragile sheet of glass (3) from mechanical impact against the edge of the glazing.

VERY THIN WITHDRAWN INSIDE GLASS SHEET GLASS
The present invention relates to the field of laminated glazing, in particular for automotive applications.
Laminated glazing is commonly used in the automotive, aeronautic and building industries. They generally consist of an outer glass sheet and an inner glass sheet between which is placed a thermoplastic sheet - for example of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) - which ensures their adhesion between them.
In the automotive field, laminated glazing has been used for a long time as "safety" glazing for the production of windscreens because of their ability to hold the pieces of glass together in the event of breakage of the glass sheets following a mechanical shock on the windshield surface. Today, they are also used for the production of side glazing, glazing for roofs and rear windows for motor vehicles for reasons of acoustic comfort and safety.
The outer glass sheet is generally thicker than the inner glass sheet in order to provide adequate resistance to the impact of gravel and possible mechanical impact on its surface. The contemporary trend is to use ever thinner interior glass sheets in order to lighten the glazing.
While the exterior glass sheets generally have a thickness of 1.4 mm to 2.1 mm, it is desired to use very thin interior glass sheets, having a thickness less than or equal to 1.2 mm, or even less than or equal to 1 mm, or even less than or equal to 0.7 mm.
Very thin interior glass sheets are inherently very fragile and extremely sensitive to mechanical shock. Therefore, they are handled with care during the manufacturing phases of laminated glazing. Once the laminated glazing has been produced, they are protected against mechanical shocks applied to their surface due to their assembly with the thermoplastic sheet and the outer glass sheet. In addition, the mechanical strength of the interior glass sheets can be improved by chemical toughening.
In the context of the present invention, the Applicant has however identified a particular problem hitherto unrecognized concerning these laminated glazings with very thin interior glass sheets. Indeed, it turns out that very thin glass sheets are particularly fragile with regard to mechanical shock or other mechanical stresses applied to their edges. In addition, it turns out that chemical quenching if it significantly improves the resistance to mechanical shock applied against
7FR-160712-Patent application.docx main surface of the glass sheet, this is not the case for mechanical shocks applied against their edge.
As a result, a knife cutting operation - manual or robotic - of the marginal part of the thermoplastic film which would protrude at the periphery of the glazing after assembly of the glass sheets and the thermoplastic sheet is difficult, if not impossible to implement because it there is a risk of the knife hitting the edge of the inner glass sheet. It is possible to use precut thermoplastic films with the appropriate dimensions to avoid such a cutting operation, but with the disadvantage of requiring a precise precut and precise positioning during assembly with the glass sheets.
Another difficulty concerns glazings with an apparent edge after mounting on the motor vehicle and which have an opaque strip running along the edge of the glazing, which is usually the case for windscreens and for automotive glazing other than sliding side glazing. in the doors. This opaque strip generally has the function of hiding the bodywork of the motor vehicle under the edge of the glazing and of protecting against the ultraviolet radiation the adhesive joint used to fix the glazing to the bodywork. In such a case, it is preferable to use a technique for eliminating the edge gloss effect other than by texturing the edge of the thermoplastic film by abrading the excess part of the film after passing the glazing through the autoclave.
The edge shine effect comes from a reflection of the incident light from the sun against the shimmering surface of the edge of the thermoplastic film and which is propagated through the screen printing savings on the edge of the glazing which serves to produce the opaque strip. cited above. The edge shine phenomenon is explained in Figure 2 which illustrates a local section through the edge of laminated glazing: the outer glass sheet is referenced 1, the inner glass sheet 3, the thermoplastic film 2, the strip opaque
4. There is also represented an incident light ray I which gives rise to a reflected light ray R participating in the edge gloss effect. The fact that the edge of the thermoplastic PVB sheet or the like is shimmering is linked to the fact that in the autoclave, the thermoplastic material softens and the edge tends to "self-level", or else to have been cut with a knife after passing through the autoclave.
In practice, it is desired to avoid, for aesthetic reasons, the edge gloss effect manifesting itself in the form of one or more shiny segments along the edge of the glazing which are visible to an observer. This case is illustrated in FIG. 1 showing a laminated glazing 10 seen from the front: the glossy segments are symbolized in the form of thicker lines and referenced S.
The generally preferred solution for eliminating or limiting this drawback consists in making the edge of the thermoplastic film diffusing by giving it a fine texturing by abrasion. For this, the thermoplastic film has an excess extending beyond the edge of the glass sheets along the periphery of the glazing before passage through the autoclave and which is found after passage through the autoclave: cf. Figure 3 showing a local section similar to Figure 2, but where the thermoplastic film 4 has an excess E before abrasion. The glazing is then taken up by a robot which presents the periphery of the glazing in front of abrasive strips - cf. Figure 4 where an abrasive strip is referenced B - which remove excess thermoplastic film while giving its edge a matt appearance, diffusing light: cf. Figure 5 similar to Figure 2, but where the edge of the thermoplastic film 2 diffuses the incident light ray I instead of reflecting it.
This solution is however not suitable for laminated glazing having a very thin inner glass sheet because it would break on contact with the abrasive strip. It is possible to resort to other solutions such as the fact of applying the opaque strip to the edge of the glazing (which then blocks the incident rays of light) or to arrange the thermoplastic film recessed between the two sheets of glass. (in which case the incident rays may be reflected directly on the inner glass sheet producing a uniform reflection along the edge of the glazing which therefore does not have a discontinuous and unsightly character). However, these solutions also have drawbacks: the first considerably complicates the method of depositing the opaque strip by screen printing, while the second allows, after mounting the glazing on the motor vehicle, the accumulation of dirt and the development of foams in the peripheral groove of the glazing between the two sheets of glass, thus making its appearance unsightly.
But above all, the Applicant has realized that the problem of the fragility of the inner glass sheet with regard to mechanical shocks applied to its edge persists even after the laminated glazing has been manufactured, unlike the case of applied shocks at its main surface. In fact, if the laminated glazing undergoes a mechanical shock on its edge, it can be suffered by the edge of the inner glass sheet, since the edges of the outer and inner glass sheets are usually juxtaposed at the same level . However, laminated glazing may be subject to impact against its edge even when mounted in their final application. For example, on a motor vehicle, this may be the case of opening side glazing which is not guided on its visible part, fixed side glazing with visible edges or even in the case of opening rear glasses.
The object of the present invention is to at least partially overcome the aforementioned drawbacks.
According to one aspect, the invention aims more particularly to limit the risk of breakage of laminated glazings with very thin glass sheets which are due to possible mechanical shocks on the edge of the glazings. To this end, the present invention provides a laminated glazing, in particular a laminated glazing for automotive application, comprising a first glass sheet and a second glass sheet, and an interlayer polymeric layer disposed between the first glass sheet and the second sheet of glass. glass. The second glass sheet has a thickness less than 1.2 mm and the first glass sheet has a thickness greater than that of the second glass sheet. The edge of the second glass sheet is set back from the edge of the first glass sheet on at least part of the periphery of the glazing.
In the part of the periphery of the glazing where the edge of the second glass sheet is set back relative to the edge of the first glass sheet, the mechanical shocks against the edge of the glazing are not applied to the edge of the second sheet of glass glass which is therefore protected, unlike the case of the prior art where the edge of the thick glass sheet and the thin glass sheet are usually juxtaposed at the same level. These shocks are received on the edge of the first glass sheet which is more resistant than the second glass sheet due to its greater thickness.
This shrinkage can be limited to one or more portions of the periphery of the glazing. It is preferably implemented for those which are most exposed to the risk of impact on the edge of the glazing after assembly in its final application. For example, in the case of a motor vehicle glazing, the removal can be implemented on that or those of the peripheral sides of the glazing where its edge remains visible and accessible after mounting on the vehicle - and therefore likely to be there subjected to an impact against their edge during the life of the vehicle - while it would not be implemented for the other peripheral side (s) where the edge of the glazing is protected against impact, for example by the vehicle body . This is applicable mutadis mutandis in the case where only part of the edge of a peripheral side of the glazing remains exposed to shocks after assembly in its final application.
Of course, it is preferable to generalize the withdrawal around the entire periphery of the glazing as soon as the entire periphery remains exposed to shocks on the wafer after mounting in its final application.
However, it is advantageous to generalize the shrinkage over the entire periphery of the glazing even in the case where the edge of the glazing is protected over all or part of the circumference after mounting in its final application. Indeed, this measure makes it possible to protect the glazing against mechanical impact on its edge during the whole part of its life cycle ranging from the assembly operation of the glazing to the assembly in its final application. During this period, the glazing is subject to manipulations or operations such as conveying, packaging on pallets, transport, storage, assembly in its final application during which the risk of shock on its edge is not excluded.
In addition, the withdrawal advantageously makes it possible to resort to a knife cutting operation - manual or robotic - of the marginal part of the thermoplastic film which would protrude at the periphery of the glazing after assembly of the glass sheets and the thermoplastic sheet without risk of impact from the knife against the edge of the second sheet of glass.
When such glazing is used in an automotive application, it will be understood that the first glass sheet constitutes the outer glass sheet of the glazing while the second glass sheet constitutes the glass sheet on the interior side of the passenger compartment. vehicle.
As already mentioned, in the prior art, the edges of the interior and exterior glass sheets are usually juxtaposed at the same level, that is to say on the same perpendicular to the main surface of the glass sheets. By way of exception, laminated glazings whose edge of a glass sheet is set back relative to that of another glass sheet have already been described, but not with the aim of protecting the edge of a glass sheet very thin against impact.
This is the case of EP 0 418 123 A1 and EP 0 600 766 A1 which disclose laminated glazings in which all of the constituent glass sheets are thick, unlike laminated glazing according to this aspect of the invention which comprises a sheet glass thickness less than or equal to 1.2 mm. Due to the very thickness of the constituent glass sheets and of the resulting laminated glazing, the shrinkage is disclosed in these documents in order to refine the glazing around its periphery and thus allow mounting of the edge of the glazing in the guide and mounting elements. car doors which were designed for earlier monolithic glazing.
WO 00/61366 A1 discloses partially laminated glazing to integrate non-transparent elements such as photovoltaic cells. The constituent glass sheets are also thick and therefore, the shrinkage at the edge of the glazing is disclosed to avoid differences in level around the periphery of the glazing where it rests on the bodywork for reasons of assembly and sealing.
WO 2014/029605 A1 deals with the fixing of mechanical parts in holes made in laminated glazing, which poses problems both in making the holes and in loosening the fixing due to the pressure exerted on the glazing by the fastening system. This is the case with side windows mounted sliding in car doors and having a hole in the lower part used to fix the drive parts of the window and also rear glasses having a hole for fixing a wiping system. To avoid these problems, this document teaches how to make the fixing hole in an area of the glazing where the outer glass sheet is not covered by the inner glass sheet. More particularly, it discloses a lateral glazing having four peripheral sides and having an area along the lower peripheral side of the glazing where the outer glass sheet is not covered by the inner glass sheet. The fixing hole for the glass drive parts is made in this area of the outer glass sheet before tempering and assembly with the other glazing components. On the contrary, the invention according to the aspect described above is independent of any shaping of the glass sheets to fix any mechanical devices therein. Thus, a distinctive characteristic of laminated glazing resides in the fact that it has a peripheral side for which the entire region of the first glass sheet not covered by the second glass sheet which is contiguous to this peripheral side of the glazing is free of hole. It will be understood that this region is devoid of holes, whether it is through or blind.
The laminated glazing according to the invention further differs from the teaching of this prior art document by various preferential characteristics. It will be understood that each of these preferred characteristics can also be implemented independently of the aforementioned distinctive characteristic, whether individually or in combination with one or more others.
One such preferred feature is that the edge of the second glass sheet is set back from the edge of the first glass sheet over at least 30% of the periphery of the glazing, more preferably over at least 50% of the periphery of the glazing. glazing and more advantageously over at least 70% of the periphery of the glazing, or even more advantageously over the entire periphery of the glazing. Perimeter of the glazing, we will understand the peripheral edge of the glazing.
Another of these preferred characteristics resides in the fact that the glazing has a peripheral side for which the withdrawal distance is less than or equal to 10 mm for the whole part - continuous or discontinuous - of this peripheral side for which the edge of the second sheet of glass is set back from the edge of the first sheet of glass.

According to yet another of these preferred characteristics, the glazing has a peripheral side for which the entire region of the first glass sheet not covered by the second glass sheet which is contiguous to this peripheral side of the glazing is free from shaping to fix it any mechanical device.

Figures 11 and 12 illustrate a local section taken through the edge of the laminated glazing according to a third embodiment.
We will describe in the following a first embodiment of a windshield for a motor vehicle according to the invention with reference to Figures 6 to 8. The general view of the windshield is that of the windshield 10 of Figure 1 which shows it in its position mounting on the motor vehicle. It comprises four peripheral sides, namely: a lower side 11, two lateral sides 12, 14 and an upper side 13.
Alternatively, it may be laminated glazing for a motor vehicle other than a windscreen, for example lateral glazing, whether it is intended to be fixedly mounted on the vehicle or slidingly mounted in a door, a rear window or another glazing for the roof of the vehicle, whether opening or fixed. Generally, all these glazings have, seen from the front, a substantially polygonal contour - with segments however arcuate - which very often has four peripheral sides, but their general shape differs. In the case of side glazing, some have only three peripheral sides. In these applications, the glazing is generally curved, but it can also be flat. More generally, the glazing may also be provided for applications other than for a motor vehicle, in particular for aeronautics in which case it may have a disc shape - which amounts to having only one peripheral side in the sense of present invention - or for building. The following description is applicable mutadis mutandis whatever the general shape of the glazing and its final application.
As can be seen in Figure 6, the glazing is a bifeuilleté: it comprises a first glass sheet 1 which constitutes the outer glass sheet of the windshield 10 and a second glass sheet 3 which constitutes the inner glass sheet.
The outer and inner glass sheets 1, 3 can be of the conventional type. In the case of lightened glazing, the outer glass sheet 1 preferably has a thickness chosen in the range from 1.4 mm to 2.1 mm. It can be thicker, for example up to 3.5 mm or more, for special applications where increased mechanical strength is desirable. In the opposite direction, the thickness of the outer glass sheet 1 can be less than 1.4 mm for certain specific applications where less mechanical resistance is acceptable, but it is preferably greater than or equal to 1 mm.
In order to lighten the glazing, the inner glass sheet 3 has a thickness of less than 1.2 mm and more preferably less than or equal to 1 mm and more advantageously still less than or equal to 0.7 mm.
The outer glass sheet 1 can either be subjected to a treatment increasing its mechanical surface resistance using for example a conventional heat treatment for tempering or hardening, or of the annealed type, that is to say without significant compression of its surfaces as is most of the time the case of laminated windshields for cars. However, in the two aforementioned cases, it is advantageous for the edge of the glass sheet to be mechanically reinforced by the placing of edge compression membrane stresses during its preparation.
The inner glass sheet 3 is preferably subjected to a treatment increasing its mechanical resistance. Given its small thickness, treatment by chemical toughening is preferred, this creating a surface area of the glass which is in compression while a central area is in extension tension. The technique of chemical quenching is known per se: we can refer for example to the article: Ion exchange for glass strengthening, René Gy in Materials science & Engineering: B, Vol. 149 No. 2, 25/03/2008, Elsevier, ISSN: 0921-5107, p.159165. Of course, the composition of the glass sheets 1, 3 is chosen in accordance with the treatments which are applied to them.
In a manner known per se, an intermediate polymeric layer 2 is disposed between the two glass sheets 1, 3 and serves to hold them together by adhesion. It can conventionally be a sheet of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) 0.76 mm thick. Alternatively, it can be any other suitable material such as a sheet of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) or polyurethane. Depending on the application of the glazing, it may also be a resin poured between the glass sheets 1, 3 which is then polymerized. The thickness of the polymeric layer 2 can be different. It can also consist of several superimposed polymer sheets which are made of the same material or of different materials.
The outer edge 3a of the inner glass sheet 3 is set back from the outer edge 1a of the outer glass sheet 1 by a non-zero distance referenced Dl. It is advantageous to provide such a withdrawal around the entire periphery of the glazing 10 because the entire periphery of the inner glass sheet 3 is then protected from impact against the edge of the laminated glazing.
The withdrawal distance D1 may be small. However, it is preferably at least equal to 1 mm and more preferably at least equal to 2 mm, or even at least equal to 3 mm, which facilitates the recessed positioning of the inner glass sheet 3 relative to the glass sheet. exterior 1 during assembly with regard to positioning tolerances. The withdrawal distance D1 can be constant over the entire periphery of the glazing 10, but can also vary, for example, be different depending on the side of the glazing.
As it is a windshield, the glazing comprises an opaque strip 4 conventionally black in color, but which may be different - running a short distance along the periphery of the glazing 10 as illustrated in FIG. 1. This strip 4 conventionally has the function to hide the bodywork of the motor vehicle under the edge of the glazing 10 and to protect against ultraviolet radiation the adhesive joint used to fix the glazing 10 to the bodywork. Conventionally, it can be carried out by depositing enamel - or ink or paint - by screen printing on one or the other of the glass sheets. It is preferably applied to the internal face li of the external glass sheet 1. Alternatively, the opaque strip 4 is applied to one of the faces of the intermediate polymer layer 2, for example by depositing ink as taught by WO 95 / 00329A1. For the convenience of the operation of depositing the enamel, the ink or the paint constituting the strip 4, the latter extends slightly backwards - by a distance denoted D2 - relative to the edge la of the exterior glass sheet
1. The distance D2 is preferably less than or equal to 2 mm for aesthetic reasons.
It is advantageous for the edge 3a of the inner glass sheet 3 to be located at an intermediate level between the outer 4a and inner 4b edges of the strip 4. This improves the aesthetics of the glazing because the edge 3a is not visible to the user through the screen printing savings at the edge of the glazing. Therefore, it is preferable that the withdrawal distance DI is less than or equal to 10 mm over the entire periphery of the glazing 1 or at least on the lateral sides 12, 14 and the high side 13 for which the opaque strip 4 is generally the least wide. Regardless of this consideration, it is preferable that the DI withdrawal distance is less than or equal to at least 10 mm over the entire part of the periphery of the glazing where its main surface is exposed to shocks in order to benefit as much as possible from the laminated nature of the glazing.
During the assembly of the glazing, the outer edge 2a ′ of the intermediate polymer layer 2 does not exhibit any shrinkage relative to the edge la of the outer glass sheet 1. After final assembly of the glazing 10 - that is to say say in this case after treatment in the autoclave to ensure the physicochemical bond of the glass sheets to one another thanks to the polymeric layer 2 -, the edge 2a ′ of the polymeric layer 2 is treated by abrasion illustrated in figure 8.
This abrasion treatment is used to texture the edge of the polymeric layer 2 to make it diffusing light instead of reflecting, which makes it possible to remove or significantly reduce the effect of edge gloss. The abrasion operation is made possible due to the edge 3a of the inner glass sheet 3 which is set back from both the edge 1a of the outer glass sheet 1 and the edge 2a 'of the polymeric layer 2 .
The abrasion operation can be performed as follows. The glazing 10 is manipulated by a robotic arm R so that the edge 2a ’contacts an abrasive strip B in movement. The contact between the abrasive strip B and the edge 2a 'is inclined so as to exclude or at least limit the contact 1 with the external glass sheet 1. This abrasion treatment can be carried out by successive presentation to several abrasive strips with grains of more and more thin. The abrasive strip B runs in the direction going from the polymeric layer 2 towards the outer glass sheet 1, which avoids the risk of delamination of the polymeric layer 2 from the outer glass sheet 1.
After this abrasion treatment, the textured edge of the polymeric layer 2 referenced 2a in FIG. 7 - has an acute angle - referenced a - relative to the main internal surface li of the first glass sheet 1. Generally, it is preferable that the angle a is greater than 20 °, or even greater than 30 °. On the contrary, it is preferable that it be less than 80 °, or even less than 60 °. But more generally, the angle a is chosen so that the edge 3a of the inner glass sheet 3 is set back relative to the edge 2a of the polymeric layer 2 in order to avoid the risk of contact of the abrasive belt B with the edge 3a of the inner glass sheet 3 during the abrasion operation.
The fact that the edge 2a thus extends at an angle is advantageous compared to the case where it is perpendicular - that is to say if the angle a was 90 ° as in the prior art
- because the risk of delamination of the polymeric layer 2 of the outer glass sheet 1 after the glazing is produced is minimized and the effect of reducing or eliminating the edge gloss effect is increased.
A second embodiment of laminated glazing is now described with reference to FIG. 9. It is based on the first embodiment - the same reference numbers being used to designate the same elements - and all of its description is applicable, except for the following differences.
In this embodiment, the edge 2a of the polymeric layer 2 is set back
- from a non-zero distance denoted D3 - relative to the edge 1a of the external glass sheet 1 in the glazing 10 in the finished state. This withdrawal in itself makes it possible to limit the risk of edge gloss independently of any treatment of the edge 2a to make it non-reflective. Such processing of the edge 2a can therefore be omitted in this embodiment.
It is preferable that the withdrawal distance D3 is less than the withdrawal distance D1 from the edge 3a. This prevents a groove from being defined between the glass sheets 1, 3 on the edge of the glazing which would be likely to become dirty once the glazing is in place on the motor vehicle.
In this second embodiment, it is particularly advantageous that the shrinkage D3 of the edge 2a of the polymer layer 2 is greater than the shrinkage D2 of the outer edge 4a of the opaque strip 4. This case is illustrated by FIG. 10. More precisely, the edge 2a of the polymeric layer 2 is situated at an intermediate level between the outer 4a and inner 4b edges of the strip 4, which is also the case for the inner glass sheet 3 as already mentioned above in connection with the first mode of achievement. Therefore, the risk of edge gloss is completely eliminated and the aesthetics of the glazing is improved, since neither the edge 3a of the inner glass sheet 3, nor the edge 2a of the polymeric layer are visible by the user through the screen printing savings on the periphery of the glazing.
FIG. 11 illustrates a third embodiment according to the invention. It is based on the second embodiment, that is to say in which the edge 2a of the polymeric layer 2 is also set back with respect to the edge 1a of the outer glass sheet 1, regardless of whether it s 'act of the variant of Figure 9 or that of Figure 10.
This third embodiment differs from the previous one only in that the glazing is provided with a seal 5 fixedly arranged on its periphery, for example by extrusion or by gluing. It is preferably arranged around the entire periphery of the glazing 10. The seal 5 makes it possible to eliminate the edge gloss effect and ensures a perfect aesthetic finish at the edge of the glazing seen from the side of the inner glass sheet 3 because the edges 2a and 3a are hidden.
It can advantageously be made of rubber or elastomer or another material capable of absorbing mechanical shock in which case it also protects the edge 3a of the inner glass sheet 3 against mechanical shock.
As illustrated, the seal 5 can encapsulate the edge 2a of the polymeric layer and the edge 3a of the inner glass sheet 3. It can also be provided to cover all or part of the edge 1a of the outer glass sheet 1 to which case it will also protect it against mechanical shock.
FIG. 12 illustrates a variant of the arrangement of FIG. 11 in which the seal - referenced 5 '- is also in contact with the edge 3a of the inner glass sheet, but being flush with the outer face 3e of the inner glass sheet 3. In other words, the seal 5 'does not extend on the outer face 3e unlike the case of the seal 5 in FIG. 11.
In the third embodiment, it can be provided that the edge 2a of the polymeric layer 2 is set back relative to the edge 3a of the inner glass sheet 3, thus creating a peripheral groove making it possible to improve the grip of the seal. 5 or 5.
It will be understood that the local sections shown in the figures for the various embodiments can be applied to all or part of the periphery of the laminated glazing.
