An automobile glass pane prepared for adhesive bonding to the fastening flange of a window frame comprises a profiled spacer having a web aligned approximately perpendicular to the glass pane. Adjacent the web is a bead of a plastic adhesive having a high adhesion with respect to the spacer and with respect to the fastening flange. The bead of plastic adhesive, moreover, is of relatively high shear strength and is arranged on the side directed towards the border of the pane. Arranged on the other side of the web is a bead of a reaction adhesive composition. This web has a height corresponding to the minimum distance of the glass pane from the fastening flange. The bead of plastic adhesive serves to fix the glass pane in its installed position during the hardening phase of the reaction adhesive composition. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The object of the invention is to provide an automobile glass pane assembly having a profiled spacer along the border of a glass pane which, without additional mechanical fixing aids, does not substantially change its position during the hardening phase of the fitting adhesive after its adjustment in the window opening.
In this manner, the installation operation as a whole can be simplified and shortened.
According to the invention, this object is achieved by providing a glass pane with a profiled spacer firmly bonded to one surface of the pane proximate to a peripheral edge thereof for supporting the weight of the pane in a fastening flange of a window frame oriented substantially parallel to one edge of the pane.
The spacer has at least one web aligned essentially perpendicular to the glass pane and extending toward the flange.
Next to the web, arranged parallel thereto, is a bead of a reaction adhesive composition extending beyond the web.
On the other side of the web, arranged in contact therewith, is a bead of a plastic adhesive composition which bears the dead weight of the glass pane during the hardening time of the reaction adhesive in the installed position of the pane The term "plastic" as used herein, is meant to define a material which is deformable under the application of pressure thereto and which when the pressure is released, does not recover its original shape or configuration.
Advantageously, the inventive automobile glass pane assembly can be fixed in the installed position without the need of additional mechanical fixtures and, in a particularly expedient way and, moreover, can be realized with tried-and-tested adhesive compositions.
The web, however, determines the minimum distance from the fastening flange in addition to separating or delimiting the two different strands or beads of adhesive from each other.
In addition, the present invention considerably facilitates the depositing of the two strands of adhesive.
Particularly, the web serves as a guide strip when depositing the pre-formed strands of adhesive, or as a guide strip for the extrusion dies used to form the strands of adhesive
