Multiple connection terminal assembly for an electrically heated transparency

In an electrically heatable transparency having a first transparent sheet with a terminal connecting area along an edge of said heatable transparency, a first bus bar having first electroconductive extension means extending along a major surface of said first sheet and into said terminal connecting area, a second bus bar having a second electroconductive extension means electrically insulated from said first extension means and extending along said major surface of said first sheet into said terminal connecting area, an electroconductive heating member extending between and electrically interconnecting said first and second bus bars, and a second transparent sheet laminated to said first sheet, wherein said bus bars, first and second extension means and heating member are laminated between said first and second sheets, the improvement comprising:

• a multiple terminal assembly positioned along said edge of said heatable transparency at said terminal connecting area, said terminal assembly having terminals secured within a housing in close proximity to and electrically insulated from each other, wherein each of said terminals includes a generally flat electroconductive strip extending outwardly from one said of said housing along a plane and laminated between said first and second sheets, and an electroconductive tab extending outwardly from an opposite side of said housing generally along said plane and further wherein said terminals are spaced apart a fixed predetermined distance such that each of said terminal strips is aligned with and electrically interconnected to one of said extension means and said tabs are aligned with a corresponding connector of a multiple connector harness assembly having connectors such that each of said outwardly extending tabs of said terminals may be simultaneously received by a corresponding connector of said harness assembly.
