Automotive Door With Shatter-Resistant Movable Side Window For Enhanced Occupant Retention
US Patent:
2010021, Aug 26, 2010
Filed:
Feb 20, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/389624
Inventors:
Donald R. Phillips - Arlington TN, US
International Classification:
B60J 5/04
US Classification:
49502
Abstract:
A vehicle side window, composed of HPR laminated glazing or advanced ejection mitigating laminated glazing, is provided with an inverted U-shaped channel, bonded to its upper edge, and extending into side channels of the door frame. The inverted U-shaped channel acts as a movable upper door channel, providing the door glazing with sufficient rigidity and pull-out resistance that it performs in an accident as if it were fully rolled up.
