<p>A curved, shatterproof glass laminate (10) for an automotive or other type transportation vehicle window or sun roof, comprises at least one heat tempered, heat strenghened or annealed glass layer (12), which may be a low E glass type, at least one internal combination elastic shock absorbing-adhesive plastic layer (16) of, for example, polyvinyl butyral material, and at least one antilacerative plastic layer (14) of, for example, polyester or polycarbonate material, and/or a polyester material having a scratch-resistant or self-healing coating. The laminate may be formed from a laminate lay-up by engaging the antilacerative layer (14) with a mold member and subjecting the resultant assembly to vacuum, heat and pressure in an autoclave. The resultant laminate may have a thickness so as be readily useable for replacement or new manufacture in a standard existing frame or holder. The mold member may be formed of a relatively thin metal, such as stainless steel, or be of a relatively thin hard plastic, such as a polyester or a polycarbonate, such as stainless steel, or be of a normally flat planar elastic, flexible resin-impregnated fiber glass construction which does not require premolding. When two glass layers are used, they may be bonded together by a liquid adhesive to compensate for curved shape variations in the layers.</p> |
