A device for picking up, shaping, and placing a thin glass pane, includes a frame with an upper side and a lower side, which is suitable to be directed at a glass pane with a thickness of less than 1 mm, and which is provided with a plurality of picking up pins that are arranged substantially parallel to one another and whose end directed at the glass pane is equipped with a suction cup, wherein the picking up pins are movable along their direction of extension independent of one another in order to adapt the arrangement of the suction cups to an intended shape of the glass pane.

A laminated glass, a method for producing a laminated glass, and a reflective film that has end parts where the generation of wrinkles is prevented in a case where the laminated glass is produced by sandwiching the reflective film between two glass plates and that has a reflection wavelength range with a small variation are provided. The reflective film has wavelength-selective reflectivity. A thermal shrinkage rate in a case where the reflective film is held at 140° C. for 30 minutes is greater than 0.5% and smaller than 2.0%. The reflective film has at least one cutout portion on a side edge of the reflective film.

The present invention aims to provide an interlayer film for a laminated glass that enables production of a laminated glass having high visible light transmittance even when deaeration for preliminary pressure bonding and heating for final pressure bonding are performed in parallel in a vacuum deaeration method. The present invention also aims to provide a method for producing the interlayer film for a laminated glass, and a laminated glass including the interlayer film for a laminated glass. Provided is an interlayer film for a laminated glass having a multitude of recesses on at least one surface, the surface with the recesses having a texture aspect ratio Str of 0.04 or lower as measured in conformity with ISO 25178.

A process for manufacturing a colored laminated glazing including first and second glass sheets, the two sheets being connected together by a thermoplastic interlayer, includes depositing a stack of layers including functional layer on a face of the first and/or of the second glass sheet, liquid deposition, on a face of the first and/or of the second glass sheet, of a polymer layer including a coloring agent and polymer compounds, drying and optionally curing of the polymer layer, assembling the glass sheet, coated with the colored polymer layer, with a colorless transparent thermoplastic interlayer and with the second glass sheet, so that the colored polymer layer is in direct contact with the interlayer, degassing, and heat treatment under pressure and/or under vacuum of the laminated glass at a temperature of between 100° C. and 200° C.

Disclosed herein are methods for making asymmetric laminate structures and methods for reducing bow in asymmetric laminate structures, the methods comprising subjecting the laminate structures to at least one thermal cycle comprising cooling the laminate structures to a first temperature near or below room temperature and heating the laminate structures to a second temperature near or below the lamination temperature. Also disclosed herein are laminate structures made according to such methods.

A method of preparing a glazing, comprising: stacking a first glass sheet, a first interlayer, a photopolymer film, a second interlayer, and a second glass sheet to provide a lamination stack; &airing the lamination stack; autoclaving the lamination stack to provide a laminated glazing; applying a reactive light to the photopolymer film in the laminated glazing, wherein reactive light is applied to the laminated glazing through a master holographic film; and bleaching the laminated glazing such that the photopolymer film is no longer reactive to light exposure.

A glass laminate is produced using infrared emitters to deliver thermal energy to an unbonded glass laminate assembly. Heat may be conducted to the glass laminate by at least one ceramic glass substrate that absorbs at least a portion of the infrared radiation from the emitters, thereby bonding the glass laminate assembly more quickly and efficiently than a conventional vacuum bag process.

A method for manufacturing a laminated glass whereby, in a laminated glass comprising a liquid crystal film sandwiched therein and having a three-dimensionally curved surface shape, the formation of wrinkles in the liquid crystal film can be suppressed; and a laminated glass which has a three-dimensionally curved surface shape and in which wrinkles in a liquid crystal film sandwiched therein are suppressed. The method for manufacturing the laminated glass comprises: a heat molding step for heating the liquid crystal film to a temperature higher than the glass transition point of the first base material layer and the second base material layer; and a bonding step for, after completing the heat molding step, heating the laminate, wherein the liquid crystal film is sandwiched between the first glass sheet and the second glass sheet, at a temperature lower than the glass transition point and bonding the same by applying a preset pressure.
