Abstract

A heatable laminated side pane for an openable side window of a vehicle, with an upper edge, a lower edge, a front edge, and a rear edge, includes an outer pane and an inner pane, which panes are bonded to one another via a thermoplastic intermediate layer, and a transparent, heatable coating, which is arranged between the outer pane and the inner pane and which is electrically contacted by a first collecting rail and a second collecting rail and which has, for guiding a heating current flowing between the collecting rails, at least one decoated isolating line that runs between the collecting rails, wherein the first collecting rail and the second collecting rail are arranged along the front edge or the rear edge.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A heatable laminated side pane for an openable side window of a vehicle, with an upper edge, a lower edge, a front edge, and a rear edge, at least comprising an outer pane and an inner pane, which inner and outer panes are bonded to one another via a thermoplastic intermediate layer,
and a transparent, heatable coating, which is arranged between the outer pane and the inner pane and which is electrically contacted by a first collecting rail and a second collecting rail and which has, for guiding a heating current flowing between the first and second collecting rails, a plurality of decoated isolating lines that run between the first and second collecting rails,
wherein the first collecting rail and the second collecting rail are arranged along the front edge or the rear edge,
wherein heating power increases, at least in one or more sections, from the rear edge to the front edge,
wherein a distance between adjacent isolating lines decreases, at least in one or more sections, from the rear edge to the front edge from a maximum distance in a range between 55 mm and 110 mm to a minimum distance in a range between 10 mm and 55 mm.

2. The heatable laminated side pane according to claim 1 , wherein the first collecting rail is arranged along the front edge and the second collecting rail is arranged along the rear edge.

3. The heatable laminated side pane according to claim 1 , wherein the first collecting rail and the second collecting rail are arranged along the same edge.

4. The heatable laminated side pane according to claim 1 , wherein a maximum distance of the first and second collecting rails from the edge along which the first and second collecting rails are arranged is less than 3 cm.

5. The heatable laminated side pane according to claim 1 , wherein a minimum distance of the first and second collecting rails from the edge along which the first and second collecting rails are arranged is greater than 3 mm.

6. The heatable laminated side pane according to claim 1 , wherein the heatable coating is applied on a surface of the outer pane or of the inner pane facing the intermediate layer or on a polymeric carrier film within the intermediate layer.

7. The heatable laminated side pane according to claim 1 , wherein the heatable coating comprises at least one electrically conductive layer, which contains at least silver and has a thickness of 10 nm to 50 nm.

8. The heatable laminated side pane according to claim 1 , wherein the heatable coating has the plurality of decoated isolating lines with a line width less than or equal to 500 μm, and wherein a distance between adjacent isolating lines is from 1 cm to 10 cm.

9. The heatable laminated side pane according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second collecting rails are implemented as strips of an electrically conductive film or as fired screenprinting paste.

10. The heatable laminated side pane according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the first and second collecting rails is from 1 mm to 20 mm.

11. The heatable laminated side pane according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second collecting rails are electrically connected to one supply line in each case, wherein the supply lines run to the lower edge, and wherein ends of the supply lines opposite the first and second collecting rails have a distance from one another less than or equal to 30 mm.

12. The heatable laminated side pane according to claim 4 , wherein the maximum distance is less than 2.5 cm.

13. The heatable laminated side pane according to claim 12 , wherein the maximum distance is less than 2 cm.

14. The heatable laminated side pane according to claim 5 , wherein the minimum distance is greater than 5 mm.

15. The heatable laminated side pane according to claim 7 , wherein the heatable coating comprises two or three electrically conductive layers.

16. The heatable laminated side pane according to claim 8 , wherein the line width is from 10 μm to 250 μm, and wherein the distance between adjacent isolating lines is from 2 cm to 6 cm.

17. The heatable laminated side pane according to claim 16 , wherein the line width is from 20 μm to 150 μm.

18. The heatable laminated side pane according to claim 9 , wherein the electrically conductive film contains copper, and wherein the fired screenprinting paste contains silver particles.

19. The heatable laminated side pane according to claim 10 , wherein the width of the first and second collecting rails is from 2 mm to 10 mm.

20. The heatable laminated side pane according to claim 11 , wherein the distance is less than or equal to 20 mm.
