Abstract

The invention relates to a clamping holder as well as to a pane assembly comprising such a clamping holder and to a method for producing such a pane assembly. Pane assemblies, which are injection molded on the edge side by a frame section, are known in the state of the art. In response to the production of the pane assembly, a retaining strip, which is embedded into the frame section through this after the injection molding process, is furthermore inserted into the injection molding tool. A retaining clamp, by means of which trim can be attached to the pane assembly in a clamping manner, must be attached to the retaining strip after the completion of the pane assembly. To avoid the requirement of subsequently attaching a retaining clamp, provision is made for a clamping holder comprising a connecting section and a clamp section, which is embodied such that connecting section and clamp section can together be inserted into an injection molding tool.

Claims (12)

1. A window pane assembly for covering an opening of a vehicle and receiving an attachment part, the assembly comprising:

a pane;

an injection molded frame section with the pane embedded therein;

a clamping holder having:

a connecting section embedded in the injection molded frame section for attaching the damping holder to the injection molded frame section, the connecting section defining a sealing region which provides to sealing interface with an injection molding tool;

a clamp section projecting out of the injection molded frame section for attachment to the attachment part, the clamp section having clamping wings projected outwardly wherein the attachment part engages outer sides of the outwardly projecting clamping wings for securing the attachment part to the window pane assembly;

wherein the connecting section projects laterally outward beyond the clamping wings of the clamp section on opposed sides of the clamping wings and is vertically gapped from outermost portions of the damping wings of the clamp section forming the sealing region circumscribing the clamping wings of the clamp section so that the connecting section and the damping wings of the clamp section are insertable together into the injection molding tool with the injecting region of the connecting section abutting and forming a seal with the injection molding tool to prevent injected plastic from reaching the clomping wings of the clamp section;

wherein the attachment part is a trim member.

2. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the clamp section is formed by a clamp part, which is held on a connecting part, which forms the connecting section so as to be capable of being detached.

3. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein that the clamp section is formed by a clamp part, which is injection molded in a positive manner by a connecting part, which embodies the connecting section.

4. The assembly of claim 1 , characterized in that the connecting section and the clamp section are embodied from a one-piece sheet metal.

5. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the connecting section is provided with an adhesion promoter.
