Abstract (en)
The window 1 has a busbar 11 comprising two portions of different width to allow an item of equipment, such as a lamp 7, to be accommodated on the window without the busbar arrangement detracting from the appearance of the window. A first, relatively narrow, busbar portion 15 allows part of a heating element 3 to terminate without extending into an area 6 selected for the lamp, and a second, relatively wide, busbar portion 14 is connected so as to reduce the electric current which flows through the narrow portion. The window may be for a vehicle, and preferably, only the narrow busbar portion is visible from outside the vehicle. The busbar 11 may be divided into two separate busbars, and a further heated area 40 may be provided where a window wiper may rest when not in use. <IMAGE>
