An automobile glass pane, intended for glueing to the fixing web of the window frame of an automobile body, is furnished along its edge with a profile strand of a hardened adhesive compound. This profile strand forms a no longer plastically deformable intermediate body between the glass pane and the adhesive strand. The profile strand is substantially of U-section and possesses anchorage projections. These anchorage projections produce a form-fitting and force-transmitting connection between the adhesive strand and the profile strand. They can additionally serve for the clamping fixing of different lugs, clips or profile strips. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The object of the present invention is to develop this known glass pane equipped with a profile strand so that the profile strand additionally can undertake other functions.
In particular, the quality of the connection between the profile strand and the adhesive strand is to be capable of being influenced.
Furthermore, the possibility of fixing additional holding or fixing elements is to be created by the profile strand itself.
The invention consists in that the profile strand, formed U-shaped in cross-section and glued to the glass pane, is furnished with anchorage profiles forming back-cut zones.
By the form of the profile strand according to this invention, a range of advantageous effects and additional possibilities of use can be achieved.
Thus, on the one hand the result is achieved that, independently of adhesion forces, a form-fitting, mechanical anchorage between the profile strand and the adhesive strand takes place, which if necessary can alone ensure the necessary connection.
Thus the stability of the connection in certain circumstances is independent of the adhesive effect of the adhesive to the profile strand.
It is, indeed, possible to intentionally lower the adhesive effect or indeed suppress it completely, for example by the incorporating of a parting agent or by a choice of the materials, without the stability of the connection being thereby cancelled.
In this manner, on the one hand the advantages of the adhesive method in the installation of automobile glass panes can be utilized, and on the other hand the disadvantage associated with the adhesive method in the dismantling of the glass pane, wherein the adhesive strand must be cut through by means of special tools, can be avoided.
The dismantling of the glass pane can, indeed, in this case be carried out by simple pushing out of the glass pane, wherein the lateral flanges of the profile strand bend outwards apart from each other and the adhesive strand separates from the profile strand.
By appropriate construction of the geometry of the profile strand, the strength of the connection which in the extreme case may be a pure clamped connection, can be varied within wide limits
