Abstract
An electrically heating windshield glass has two glass plates; a polyvinylbutyral sheet interposed between the two glass plates; a pair of bus bars provided at peripheral portions of the glass plates and between them; and a number of tungsten wires connected between a pair of the bus bars. The diameter of the tungsten wires or the space between adjacent tungsten wires is continuously and/or stepwisely changed in response to a change of the distance between the bus bars.
Claims24
An electrically heating windshield glass which comprises:
- first and second glass plates;
- a resinous interlayer interposed between the first and second glass plates;
- at least a pair of bus bars provided at peripheral portions of the glass plates and between the glass plates;
- and
- a number of electrically heating wires connected between a pair of the bus bars, wherein the windshield glass has at least a substantially triangular area and diameters of the electrical heating wires which are located in a vicinity of a center line of said glass plates are greater than diameters of the electrical heating wires which are located in a vicinity of the peripheral portions of the glass plate, such that the diameter of each of the electrically heating wires continuously decreases in response to a decrease of a distance between the bus bars.
