Abstract

An automobile glazing defogger includes of one or more primary defogger coil in a predetermined pattern, design or other representation and a secondary defogger coil covering the rest of the automobile glazing. The primary defogger coil is heated faster to a specified temperature to provide faster defogging than the secondary defogger coil and to indicate the working of the defogger.

Claims (30)

1 . An automobile glazing defogger comprising:

one or more primary defogger coil in a predetermined pattern, design or other representation; and

a secondary defogger coil covering the rest of the automobile glazing;

wherein the primary defogger coil is arranged to heat faster to a specified temperature to provide faster defogging than the secondary defogger coil and to indicate the working of the defogger.

2 . The automobile glazing defogger as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the primary defogger coil is provided on the busbar region, wiper blade, camera and ceramic masking region.

3 . The automobile glazing defogger as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the primary defogger coil is visible or invisible.

4 . The automobile glazing defogger as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the invisibility of the primary defogger coil is achieved by using transparent conductive ink.

5 . The automobile glazing defogger as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the primary defogger coil is placed behind ceramic masking region of the automobile glazing.

6 . The automobile glazing defogger as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the primary defogger coil is made by thin wire plotting.

7 . The automobile glazing defogger as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the primary and secondary defogger coils are applied on a surface of the automobile glazing.

8 . The automobile glazing defogger as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the primary and secondary defogger coils may be sandwiched in a laminated automobile glazing.

9 . The automobile glazing defogger as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a specific power of the primary defogger coil is at least 2 times greater than the specific power of the secondary defogger coil.

10 . The automobile glazing defogger as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an electrical resistance of the primary defogger coil is greater than the resistance of the secondary defogger coil.

11 . A method to identify failure in the automobile glazing defogger as claimed in claim 1 ,

comprising:

switching on a power supply of the defogger;

visualizing rapid clearance or non-clearance of fog by one or more primary defogger coil on the automobile glazing.

12 . The method to identify failure in the automobile glazing defogger as claimed in claim 11 , wherein observing the rapid clearance of fog by the primary defogger coil indicates the working of the defogger.

13 . The method to identify failure in the automobile glazing defogger as claimed in claim 11 , wherein observing the non-clearance of fog by the primary defogger coil indicates the non-working of the defogger.

14 . The method to identify failure in the automobile glazing defogger as claimed in claim 11 , wherein observing the non-clearance of fog by all the primary defogger coil indicates breakage in the power supply.

15 . The method to identify failure in the automobile glazing defogger as claimed in claim 11 , wherein observing the non-clearance of fog by one of the primary defogger coil indicates damage in defogger associated with that particular primary defogger coil.

16 . An automobile glazing defogger control system, wherein the system comprising:

one or more portable devices;

an automobile glazing defogger as claimed in claim 1 ; and

a controller in communication with the portable devices and the defogger,

wherein the portable devices configured to communicate with the defogger via controller allowing a user to switch on or off the defogger.

17 . The automobile glazing defogger control system as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the portable devices is a handheld device, keyless entry remote, computer, mobile, laptop, tab, smartwatch or AR glasses.

18 . The automobile glazing defogger control system as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the portable devices are controllable by gestures, movements or voice commands.

19 . The automobile glazing defogger control system as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the portable devices have a graphical user interface for the user to trigger switching on or off of the defogger.

20 . The automobile glazing defogger control system as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the graphical user interface provides authentication of the user.
