Abstract
A system including two pre-fixed substrates, wherein a first substrate and a second substrate. Each of the substrates has an opening in an overlap region, and an adhesive is arranged between the overlap regions, wherein the adhesive connects the two substrates together and is arranged at least partly in the openings. The adhesive is locally cured in the region of the openings. A cured sub-region of the adhesive extends from the first opening into the second opening, and a second sub-region of the adhesive is not cured.
Claims15
A system of two pre-fixed substrates, the system comprising:
- a first substrate having a first opening in a first overlap region;
- a second substrate having a second opening in a second overlap region;
- and
- an adhesive which is arranged between the overlap regions of the first substrate and of the second substrate, wherein the adhesive both bonds the substrates together and is arranged at least partly in the openings;
- wherein the adhesive is locally cured in a region of the openings, wherein a cured first sub-region of the adhesive extends from the first opening into the second opening and wherein a second sub-region of the adhesive is uncured.
A method for pre-fixing two substrates, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a first substrate having a first opening in a first overlap region, a second substrate having a second opening in a second overlap region, and an adhesive,
- arranging the adhesive between the overlap regions of the first substrate and of the second substrate so that the adhesive both bonds the substrates and is arranged at least partly in the openings;
- and
- locally curing the adhesive in a region of the openings so that a cured first sub-region of the adhesive is formed which extends from the first opening into the second opening, wherein a second sub-region of the adhesive remains uncured.
