Abstract

A shatter-, bullet- and/or soundproof laminate is assembled of two or more parallel glass panes and one or more layers of transparent synthetic plastic material, one layer between each pair of neighboring panes. The laminate is assembled while the lowermost pane is supported from below in a horizontal or nearly horizontal plane, and the plastic material is admitted in a liquid state by way of one or more rigid or deformable tubes which extend from the outside into the spaces between neighboring panes. At the same time, one or more additional tubes establish one or more paths for expulsion of air from such spaces. The panes can be pivoted, tilted and/or turned in the course of admission of plastic material. The tubes extend through removable or permanently installed strip- or bead-shaped seals which are disposed between or surround the marginal portions of the panes and seal the spaces between the panes from the surrounding atmosphere. The plastic material can be admitted in metered quantities, especially for the production of a long series of identical laminates.
