can be derived from a reading of exemplary claims 1 and 21, which
are reproduced below.
1. A process for manufacturing a laminated glazing
unit having at least two panes forming a composite with
an inside and an outside, a first coated pane being
provided on a surface facing the inside of the
composite with a corrosion protected transparent
surface coating and at least one adhesive layer for
coupling panes together, the process comprising:
removing the transparent surface coating proximate
at least one edge of the coated pane to create an
exposed region between about 0.1 mm and about 5 mm from
a peripheral edge of the pane along a main surface of
the pane;
applying an opaque protective layer proximate the
peripheral edge of the coated pane after removal of
transparent surface coating therefrom, the protective
layer being substantially impermeable to diffusion of
water vapor and covering at least a portion of the
exposed region of the coated panes and extending across
a portion of the transparent surface coating beyond an
edge thereof proximate the peripheral edge of the pane;
coupling the panes together with an adhesive layer
disposed therebetween to form the laminated glazing
unit.
22. A process for manufacturing a laminated
glazing unit from a pair of glass panes, the process
comprising:
grinding a peripheral edge on each of the glass
panes;
disposing a transparent surface coating, a ceramic
protective layer, an opaque protective layer and an
adhesive layer between the glass panes layer, with (1)
the transparent surface coating disposed between the
opaque protective layer and one of the glass panes and
(2) the opaque protective layer disposed between the
adhesive layer and the transparent surface coating;
covering at least a portion of a main surface of
one of the glass panes with the protective layer, with
