Claims
- 1. A method for manufacturing a laminated glass pane having at least one antenna wire disposed in an intermediate thermoplastic film, comprising the steps of:
- forming a temporary support sheet;
- providing an adhesive coating on a major surface of said temporary support sheet;
- directly connecting said at least one antenna wire to a terminal lug;
- placing said at least one antenna wire and said directly connected terminal lug in a desired geometrical arrangement on said adhesive coating provided on said temporary support sheet;
- fixing said at least one antenna wire and said terminal lug to said adhesive coating by the application of heat and pressure to form an antenna component having a single support sheet on one side of said antenna wire with an opposite side of said antenna wire being uncovered;
- fixing said opposite side of said antenna wire of said antenna component to a first glass sheet;
- removing said temporary support sheet from said adhesive coating, thereby leaving said adhesive coating and said at least one antenna wire fixed to said first glass sheet; and
- fixing a second glass sheet to said adhesive coating opposite to said first glass sheet.
- 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein said fixing step comprises:
- fixing said at least one antenna wire to said adhesive coating by means of a heated pressing roller.
- 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein said placing step comprises aligning said at least one antenna wire above said temporary support sheet.
- 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein said fixing step comprises:
- applying an electrical voltage to the ends of said at least one antenna wire; and
- pressing said wire into said adhesive coating.
- 5. The method according to claim 4, wherein said step of applying said electrical voltage comprises directly contacting said wire using change-direction and holding rollers.
- 6. The method according to claim 1, wherein said connecting step comprises welding the terminal lugs to said antenna wire by friction welding, using a tool set in ultrasonic vibration.
- 7. The method according to any one of claims 1-5, wherein said fixing step comprises fixing a plurality of antenna wires each with a diameter of 15 to 100 .mu.m.
- 8. The method according to claim 7, wherein said fixing step comprises fixing said plurality of antenna wires simultaneously at a spacing of 2 to 5 mm on said temporary support sheet.
- 9. The method according to any one of claims 1-5, further comprising the step of blackening said antenna wire at the surface thereof.
- 10. The method according to any one of claims 1-5, wherein said placing step comprises placing and fixing at least one antenna wire of indefinite length on an temporary support sheet of indefinite length from which individual portions are cut for the purpose of forming prefabricated antenna components, said at least one antenna wire being cut by electrical energy and said temporary support sheet being partly or completely cut by a mechanical punching or cutting tool.
- 11. The method according to any one of claims 1-5, wherein said fixing step comprises preheating said first glass sheet to a temperature sufficient for softening the thermoplatic adhesive coating.
- 12. A method for manufacturing a laminated glass pane having at least one metal wire disposed in an intermediate thermoplastic film, comprising the steps of:
- forming a temporary support sheet;
- providing an adhesive coating on a major surface of said temporary support sheet;
- directly connecting said at least one metal wire to a terminal lug;
- placing said at least one metal wire and said directly connected terminal lug in a desired geometrical arrangement on said adhesive coating provided on said temporary support sheet;
- fixing said at least one metal wire and said terminal lug to said adhesive coating by the application of heat and pressure to form an wire assembly having a single support sheet on one side of said metal wire with an opposite side of said metal wire being uncovered;
- fixing said opposite side of said metal wire of said wire assembly to a first glass sheet;
- removing said temporary support sheet from said adhesive coating, thereby leaving said adhesive coating and said at least one metal wire fixed to said first glass sheet; and
- fixing a second glass sheet to said adhesive coating opposite to said first glass sheet.
