Abstract

A glazing includes a glazed element, at least one profiled seal portion, at least one trim having an elongate shape and which has a base and at least one flange, the base being situated above an exterior face of the profiled seal portion, wherein the flange includes, at an opposite end to the base, at least one tab which is present in the profiled seal portion while penetrating the profiled seal portion via a hole that opens onto the exterior face and does not open onto an interior face of the profiled seal portion and the tab being wholly in contact with the profiled seal portion.

Claims (15)

1. A glazing comprising a glazed element, at least one profiled seal portion, at least one trim having an elongate shape which extends along an edge of said glazed element and which in cross section has an overall shape with a base and at least one flange extending at a non-zero angle from said base, said base being situated above an exterior face of said profiled seal portion, wherein said at least one flange comprises, at an opposite end to said base, at least one tab which is present in said at least one profiled seal portion while penetrating said at least one profiled seal portion via a hole that opens onto said exterior face and does not open onto an interior face of said at least one profiled seal portion and an entire external surface of said at least one tab being wholly in direct contact with said at least one profiled seal portion.

2. The glazing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, on the inside of said at least one profiled seal portion, at least one external section of said at least one tab is greater than an internal section of said hole on the exterior face of said at least one profiled seal portion.

3. The glazing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said at least one tab has a thickness identical to that of said at least one flange and a length comprised between 0.5 and 2 times a height of said at least one tab measured from the end of said at least one flange.

4. The glazing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said at least one profiled seal portion has, on the interior face, a boss facing said at least one tab.

5. The glazing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, viewed in cross section, said at least one trim has the overall shape of a U, with a first flange which comprises at least said at least one tab and a second flange which penetrates a cavity formed on the exterior face of said at least one profiled seal portion and which does not open onto the interior face of said at least one profiled seal portion.

6. The glazing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, viewed in cross section, said at least one trim has the overall shape of a U and said at least one flange comprises a first flange and a second flange, with

said first flange comprising, at an opposite end to said base, at least a first tab of said at least one tab, said first tab being present in said at least one profiled seal portion while penetrating said at least one profiled seal portion via a hole that opens onto said exterior face and does not open onto an interior face of said at least one profiled seal portion and said first tab being wholly in contact with said at least one profiled seal portion, and

said second flange comprising, at an opposite end to said base, at least a second tab of said at least one tab, said second tab being present in said at least one profiled seal portion while penetrating said at least one profiled seal portion via a hole that opens onto said exterior face and does not open onto an interior face of said at least one profiled seal portion and said second tab being wholly in contact with said at least one profiled seal portion.

7. The glazing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said at least one profiled seal portion is in contact with an interior surface of said base.

8. The glazing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said at least one tab has the overall shape of an inverted T, a trunk of the T being formed as an integral part of said at least one flange.

9. The glazing as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said at least one tab has the overall shape of an inverted T with at least one branch of the T chamfered toward the trunk or at least one branch of the T which has at least one tooth extending toward said at least one flange, or both at least one branch of the T is chamfered toward the trunk and at least one branch of the T which has at least one tooth extends toward said at least one flange.

10. The glazing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said at least one profiled seal portion is in contact with said at least one flange over at least part of a height of said at least one flange.

11. The glazing as claimed in claim 10 , wherein said at least one profiled seal portion is in contact on a longitudinal side of said at least one flange.

12. The glazing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein during a molding process, said at least one profiled seal portion is formed by molding on said glazed element wholly in contact with said at least one tab.

13. The glazing as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the hole is formed during the molding process of said at least one profiled seal portion.
