## Abstract

A method of manufacturing a vehicle laminated glass according to the present invention includes: stacking a thermal insulating film between two resin intermediate films; stacking these films between two curved glass plates, thereby forming a stacked body; degassing the stacked body; and, after the degassing, thermocompression bonding the stacked body by pressing and heating up to a maximum temperature of 120 to 150° C., wherein: the thermal insulating film has a heat shrinkage of 0.9 to 5% in a temperature range of 120 to 150° C.; the resin intermediate film is larger in area than the glass plates; and the stacked body is formed such that an edge part of the resin intermediate film protrudes outwardly by 1 mm or more from edges of the glass plates. It is possible by this method to prevent an appearance defect in the thermal insulating film throughout the entire circumference of the laminated glass.

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

-9. (canceled)

### Claim 10

A method of manufacturing a laminated glass for a vehicle, comprising:
stacking a thermal insulating film between two resin intermediate films;
stacking the thermal insulating film and the resin intermediate films between two curved glass plates, thereby forming a stacked body of the terminal insulating film, the resin intermediate films and the glass plates;
degassing the stacked body; and
after the degassing, subjecting the stacked body to thermocompression bonding by pressing and heating up to a maximum temperature of 120 to 150° C.,
wherein the thermal insulating film has a heat shrinkage of 0.9 to 5% in a temperature range of 120 to 150° C.; wherein at least one of the resin intermediate films is larger in area than the glass plates; and wherein the stacked body is formed such that an edge part of the at least one of the resin intermediate films protrudes outwardly by 1 mm or more from edges of the glass plates.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The method of manufacturing the laminated glass for the vehicle according to claim 10, wherein the edge part of the at least one of the resin intermediate films protrudes outwardly by 1 mm or more from the edges of the glass plates in a plurality of directions.

### Claim 12 (depends on 10)

The method of manufacturing the laminated glass for the vehicle according to claim 10, wherein the thermal insulating film is larger in area than the glass plates; and wherein the stacked body is formed such that an edge part of the thermal insulating film also protrudes outwardly from the edges of the glass plates.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The method of manufacturing the laminated glass for the vehicle according to claim 12, wherein the thermal insulating film and both of the resin intermediate films are larger in area than the glass plates; and wherein the stacked body is formed such that the edge parts of the thermal insulating film and the resin intermediate films protrude outwardly by 1 mm or more from the edges of the glass plates.

### Claim 14 (depends on 10)

The method of manufacturing the laminated glass for the vehicle according to claim 10, wherein a cut surface of the thermal insulating film is inclined 30 degrees or more relative to a film surface of the thermal insulating film.

### Claim 15 (depends on 10)

The method of manufacturing the laminated glass for the vehicle according to claim 10, wherein the degassing is performed by, after the formation of the stacked body, fitting an exhaust member on the stacked body in such a manner as to cover a circumferential edge portion of the stacked body by the exhaust member and exhausting air from the stacked body through the exhaust member; wherein the method further comprises heating the stacked body at 100° C. or lower after the degassing; wherein the thermocompression bonding is performed by, after the heating, pressing the stacked body while heating the stacked body up to the maximum temperature of 120 to 150° C.; and wherein the stacked body is formed such that the edge part of the at least one of the resin intermediate films protrudes outwardly by 1 to 20 mm from the edges of the glass plates.

### Claim 16 (depends on 10)

The method of manufacturing the laminated glass for the vehicle according to claim 10, wherein the method further comprises, after the forming of the stacked body, heating the stacked body at 100° C. or lower; wherein the degassing is performed by means of rolls after the heating and before the thermocompression bonding; and wherein the stacked body is so structured that: an edge of the resin intermediate film in a transfer direction relative to the rolls protrudes outwardly by 1 to 10 mm from corresponding edges of the glass plates; and edges of the resin intermediate film in any directions other than the transfer direction protrude outwardly by 1 to 20 mm from corresponding edges of the glass plates.

### Claim 17 (depends on 10)

The method of manufacturing the laminated glass for the vehicle according to claim 10, wherein the forming of the stacked body includes cutting the resin intermediate films into a predetermined shape after stacking the thermal insulating film and the resin intermediate films between the glass plates.
