Abstract

The present invention relates to a laminated glass panel including two sheets of glass connected by an adhesive interlayer, wherein in that in at least one direction, the thickness of the adhesive interlayer is sequentially increasing and decreasing or decreasing and increasing.

Claims (14)

1. A laminated glass panel comprising two sheets of glass connected by an adhesive interlayer, wherein in at least one direction, the thickness of the adhesive interlayer is sequentially increasing and decreasing or decreasing and increasing, and wherein the laminated glass panel has a camber of 150 to 500 mm.

2. The laminated glass panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in all directions, the thickness of the adhesive interlayer is a continuous function.

3. A laminated glass panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in at least one edge zone of the glass panel, the thickness of the adhesive interlayer is increasing at increasing distance from the edge of the glass panel.

4. The laminated glass panel as claimed in claim 3 , wherein in two opposite edge zones of the glass panel, the thickness of the adhesive interlayer is increasing at increasing distance from the edge of the glass panel, these two edge zones being separated by a zone of the adhesive interlayer having a constant thickness.

5. The laminated glass panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein its length is between 1 and 2.5 m, and its width is between 0.4 and 2 m.

6. The laminated glass panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein it has a minimum radius of curvature of not more than 500 mm, or a docking angle of at least 35°.

7. The laminated glass panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein it is asymmetrical.

8. The laminated glass panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the adhesive interlayer has an asymmetrical thickness.

9. A transport vehicle comprising a laminated glass panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the adhesive interlayer has a non-constant thickness in at least two substantially opposite side edge zones of the glass panel, in its assembly position.

10. The transport vehicle as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the laminated glass panel, in its assembly position, has a vertical median plane of symmetry, and in that the chord connecting the two points of intersection of this plane with the edge of the glass panel, is inclined by at least 15° and not more than 90° to the horizontal.

11. A method for manufacturing a laminated glass panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein it comprises the preparation, by extrusion, of an adhesive interlayer having a non-constant thickness.

12. A method for manufacturing a laminated glass panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein it comprises the preparation, by thermoforming, of an adhesive interlayer having a non-constant thickness.

13. A building comprising a laminated glass panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the adhesive interlayer has a non-constant thickness in at least two substantially opposite side edge zones of the glass panel, in its assembly position.

14. The building as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the laminated glass panel, in its assembly position, has a vertical median plane of symmetry, and in that the chord connecting the two points of intersection of this plane with the edge of the glass panel, is inclined by at least 15° and not more than 90° to the horizontal.
