TRANSPARENT PLATE WITH MOLDING, AND METHOD OF REMOVING TRANSPARENT PLATE
DRIVE
September 11, 2002
A molding includes an attaching portion to be bonded to an interior side of a peripheral edge of a glass plate and an elastic portion capable of being in close contact with a window opening. The molding 11 is made of thermoplastic resin and has an electrically conductive member insert-molded therein, the electrically conductive member extending substantially parallel to a surface of the glass plate and generating heat by bringing an eddy current generator near thereto. The eddy current generator is brought near a surface of the transparent plate to generate heat in the electrically conductive member, thereby softening or melting the molding, and an external force is applied to the transparent plate to disassemble the transparent plate from the window opening of an automobile.
