Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for dividing laminated glass, especially two-pane laminated glass, comprising two, plate-shaped supports for the glass sheet in which one of the supports is rigidly attached in the machine from and the other support is mounted to swivel around a horizontal axis located in the area between the supports. Cutting tools can be moved in the abutting area between the two supports for scratching the laminated glass on both sides. A blade used for splitting the plastic film located between the two glass panes is mounted on a holder slide which can swivel around a horizontal axle which is aligned in a direction of movement of the holder slide.
Abstract:
Glass plates (1) are inserted in frames (2) wherein the glass plate (1) is held between seals (3 and 4), one seal (3) of which is attached to the frame (2) and the other seal (4) of which is attached to a strip (6) lockable onto the frame (2). The glass plate (1), with compression of the seal (3) inserted in the frame (2), is displaced in the frame (2) transversely to its surface by a pressure difference between one side and the other side of the glass plate (1). Once the glass plate (1) is thus displaced with respect to the frame (2), the strips (6) carrying the seal (4) are inserted in the frame (2). An apparatus for performing this process includes a support for the frame (2) which is a flat element (10) wherein at least one opening (11) is provided for placement under a vacuum.
Abstract:
A device for cleaning U-profile sections (2) comprises a brush roll (8), engaging the base of the section from the outside and provided with bristles (14) oriented perpendicularly to the axis of rotation of the roll, and two further brush rolls (4, 5) with bristles (20, 27) forming an acute angle (.alpha.) with the axis of rotation (24, 26) of the brush rolls (4, 5). The brush rolls (4, 5) with bristles (20, 27) inclined in opposite directions with respect to their axes of rotation (24, 26) are arranged in series, based on the direction of movement (arrow 3) of the profiled section (2) through the device.
Abstract:
For sorting cut glass sheets (3) in accordance with arbitrary order criteria, rack-type carts (20) are provided exhibiting several racks (21) for the accommodation of cut glass sheets (3). The cut glass sheets (3) are righted by a lifting device into an essentially vertical position and then inserted by a conveyor arranged at the lifting device in the respectively desired rack (21) of the first rack-type cart (20). Each rack (21) exhibits on one side freely rotatable supporting rollers for the cut glass sheet. These supporting rollers can also be mounted to a holder adjustable relative to the rack-type cart (20). The rack-type carts (20) are displaceable (double arrow 30) so that the respectively desired rack (21) can be aligned with respect to the lifting device and/or the cut glass sheet (3) held by the latter. It is possible to provide several rack-type carts (20) arranged in series and displaceable independently of one another wherein the rack-type carts (20) arranged farther to the rear are charged by providing that a rack (21) of the forward rack-type carts (20) is kept vacant for transporting cut glass sheets (3) therethrough.
Abstract:
For filling the edge groove (26) of an insulating glass pane (1) of an arbitrarily designed outer contour with sealing compound, stored geometrical data of the outer contour of the insulating glass pane (1) are utilized for controlling the relative motion between the insulating glass pane (1) and the filling nozzle (4). The relative velocity of the relative motion between the insulating glass pane (1) and the filling nozzle (4) is varied in such a way that the desired extent of filling of the edge groove (26) remains constant even in case of a change in the depth of the edge groove and/or in case of fluctuating feeding rate of a sealing compound. Furthermore, the relative speed between the filling nozzle (4) and the insulating glass pane (1) is selected to be higher in the zone of linear or less strongly curved sections (6) of the edge groove (26) than in the zone of more strongly curved sections (5). The delivery of the sealing compound to the filling nozzle (4) is performed via a conduit (46) guided through a hollow shaft (34) carrying the filling nozzle (4) so that the conduit (46) does not impede the rotatability of the filling nozzle (4).
Abstract:
A bulk stream detector for a conduit (4, 5) feeding granular, hygroscopic material to be filled into spacer frames (3) for insulating glass from a storage container to a filling head (1) comprises a punctiform light source (8, 9) connected to the conduit (4, 5), this light source emitting a light beam (11) traversing the conduit. A sensor (10) responding to the light (11) emitted by the light source (8, 9) is arranged in opposition to the light source (8, 9). The sensor (10), under the effect of the light impinging thereon from the light source (8, 9), transmits a signal to a control unit (12, 13) which latter, in turn, transmits a signal if, during a preselected period of time after the last signal transmitted by the sensor (10), no signal has been received from the sensor (10).
Abstract:
A process for filling the edge joints of insulating glass by introducing a sealing compound into the edge joint from at least one filling nozzle moved along the edge joint. The depth of the edge joint is detected, and the velocity at which the filling nozzle is moved along the edge joint is slowed down in case of a deeper edge joint and increased in case of a less deep edge joint. The amount of sealing compound conveyed through the filling nozzle per unit time is detected, and the velocity with which the filling nozzle is moved along the edge joint is reduced in case of a reduced delivery output and increased in case of an increased delivery output.
Abstract:
For the emplacement of spacer shims (21) on glass panes, especially insulating glass panes, an apparatus is disclosed with a storage reel for a strip (2) of cork or the like covered on one side with an adhesive coating, with a drive mechanism for the stepwise conveyance of the strip (2) to a cutting unit (20), with a pressure applicator, provided following the cutting unit (20) for spacer shims (21) cut to size from the strip (2). The suction cup (40) of the pressure-applying means can be advanced toward the surface (44) of a glass pane facing this suction cup and is furthermore freely movable in parallel to the conveying direction (45) of a glass pane to which spacer shims (21) are to be applied. Thus, spacer shims (21) can be attached to glass panes even during movement of the latter.
Abstract:
An apparatus for closing openings in prefabricated, flexible spacer strips arranged between the glass sheets of insulating glass elements (5) comprises a nozzle (11) for the dispensing of sealing compound. The nozzle (11) has an extension (21) introducible into the opening to be sealed, this extension being gradually pulled out of the opening again during introduction of the sealing compound. For this purpose, the nozzle (11) is mounted to be movable at least in the direction of its nozzle orifice (arrow 19). The nozzle (11) is mounted, for example, on a holder (13, 40, 16) to the frame of the apparatus to be pivotable about an essentially perpendicular axis (17). The holder (13) of the nozzle (11) can be shifted forwards and backwards (arrow 15) transversely to the plane of the support for the insulating glass elements (5), in order to be able to vacate the conveying path of the insulating glass elements.
Abstract:
A device for the formation of a corner of a flexible spacer (2) attached to a glass plate (1) exhibits a clamp (11) pivotable by 90.degree., one of the two clamping jaws (12), with the clamp (11) having been pivoted, urging the section (7) of the spacer (2) held by the clamp (11) against an abutment (17). Additionally, a pressure ram (20) is provided which can be advanced transversely with respect to the glass plate (1), this pressure ram pressing the bent end (7) of the spacer (2) against the glass plate (1). It is furthermore possible to provide in the device a perforating tool (30, 32, 38), mounted, for example, to a clamp (11 or 35), especially the outer clamping jaw (12, 37) thereof, this tool perforating the spacer (2) while the latter is being held by the clamp (11 or 35).
