Abstract

A glazing includes a glazed element and at least one pin for positioning or fixing the glazing on a structural element, notably a vehicle bodywork element. The pin includes on the one hand a base which is bonded using a layer of adhesive material to a surface of the glazed element or which has an overmolded part situated in a profiled-seal portion, and an outer part situated outside of the profiled-seal portion and on the other hand a projecting element which has a guide or fixing head and a foot, the projecting element including a system for clipping it to the base with respect to a vertical central axis A.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A glazing comprising a glazed element and at least one pin for positioning or fixing said glazing on a structural element, said at least one pin comprising on the one hand a base which is bonded using a layer of adhesive material to a surface of said glazed element or which has an overmolded part situated in a profiled-seal portion, and an outer part situated outside of said profiled-seal portion and on the other hand a projecting element which has a guide or fixing head and a foot, said projecting element comprising means for clipping the projecting element to said base with respect to a vertical central axis,
wherein said base comprises
a baseplate having a lower face facing toward said surface of the glazed element and an upper face situated away from said surface of the glazed element,
a body oriented along said vertical central axis from said upper surface, and
a flange plate situated above said upper face so that a slot lies between said baseplate and said flange plate,

wherein said foot comprises at least one flange extending from said vertical central axis and bent so that its free end is oriented toward said vertical central axis,
wherein said base also has either a central recess extending downward, or a central boss extending upward, and said foot comprises, respectively, either a central boss extending downward, of cylindrical or conical shape, or a central recess extending upward,
and wherein said boss enters said recess and said flange enters said slot.

2. The glazing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said foot comprises two flanges both of which extend from the foot and are each bent so that their free ends face one another, oriented toward said vertical central axis, said two flanges entering said slot of said base.

3. The glazing as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said two flanges extend from the foot over a radius r of 90°.

4. The glazing as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said flange comprises a spur or a groove and wherein said body respectively comprises a groove or a spur.

5. The glazing as claimed in claim 4 , wherein each flange comprises a spur or a groove and wherein said spurs or said grooves are situated facing one another with respect to the vertical central axis.

6. The glazing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said flange, or each flange, extends horizontally from said vertical central axis and is bent twice at right angles so that its free end is oriented toward said vertical central axis.

7. The glazing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said flange has a thickness substantially equal to a height of said slot.

8. A method of manufacturing glazing as claimed in claim 1 , comprising in order to clip together said projecting element and said base, on the one hand causing said boss to enter said recess and on the other hand causing said flange to enter said slot by a rotation of said projecting element about the vertical central axis.
