Abstract:
In an apparatus for the coating of spacer frames for insulating glass, exhibiting corners bent in one piece, with adhesive and, respectively, sealing compound, the relative position between the connecting line of the orifices of the nozzles, on the one hand, and the axis, about which the turning device is pivotable, on the other hand, can be varied. This variability is achieved either by arranging the pivotal support of the turning device to be movable laterally and vertically (upwards and downwards) in the frame of the apparatus, or by disposing the component carrying the nozzles in the frame of the apparatus to be vertically movable (upwards and downwards) and the pivotal support of the turning device to be movable laterally. In this way, the objective is attained that the nozzles remain aligned, even during turning of the spacer frames, in opposition to the lateral faces of the spacer frames.
Abstract:
When filling hollow molds, to be bent into spacer frames, with a hygroscopic material, the filling process is interrupted as soon as the material filled into the hollow molding has reached a location of the hollow molding where the latter is to be bent into a corner. At this location, the wall of the hollow molding which subsequently forms the inside in the spacer frame is made to bulge. Then introduction of hygroscopic material into the hollow molding is continued, interrupted at the next location of a corner, the walls are made to bulge, until four locations of the sidewall in the hollow molding have been provided with a bulge, and the hollow molding is completely filled. Also, a device is described suitable for performing the process. This device comprises a stamp (16) for indenting the hollow molding and an ultrasonic sensor which responds to the filling level of the hygroscopic material in the hollow molding.
Abstract:
In an apparatus whereby spacer frames (1) for insulating glass being transported in an essentially vertical position and resting against a supporting wall (2, 6) to a receiving station, may be transferred on a carrier (20), in the area of the receiving station (5) in the supporting wall (6) a plurality of lifting elements (14) is provided, which may be moved upwards in slots (13) to raise the spacer frames (1). To be able to transfer a spacer frame (1) to the carrier (20) for spacer frames (1) located opposite the receiving station (5), the distance between the free ends (30) of the beams (21) of the carrier (20) facing the supporting wall (6) provided in the receiving station (5) and the supporting wall (6) may be reduced for example by the forward tilting of the supporting wall (6). When the supporting wall (6) is tilted forward, the free ends (30) of the beams (21) of the carrier (20) engage two openings (17) in the supporting wall (6) and one spacer frame (1) is transferred to the carrier 20.
Abstract:
An apparatus for the production of spacer frames (44) by bending hollow moldings comprises two bending heads (12) displaceably arranged along a plate (10); with the aid of these bending heads, a hollow molding fed thereto can be bent into a spacer frame (44). At the rim of the plate (10) of the bending apparatus (1) lying in opposition to the bending heads (12), a conveyor slide (50) is provided which transports the hollow moldings, bent into a spacer frame (44), to a transfer device (60), this transfer device (60) lifting the spacer frames (44) conveyed thereto off the plate (10) and transfer them into a welding unit (5) for welding together the free ends (45) of the hollow molding bent into a spacer frame (44).
Abstract:
An apparatus for bending hollow moldings into spacer frames (44) for insulating glass comprises two bending heads (12) displaceably arranged along the rim of a plate (10), a clamp (13) being provided between these bending heads for the hollow molding to be bent into the spacer frame (44). In this apparatus, a device (20) is provided for feeding hollow moldings which extends in parallel to the rim of the plate (10) at which the bending heads (12) are arranged. Furthermore, a gripper (30) is provided in the plane of symmetry of the clamp (13) for transferring the hollow moldings from the conveying device (20) into the clamp (13) and the bending heads (12).
Abstract:
In a device for the treatment of the edge zones of plate-shaped elements, a conveyor (3) for the plate-shaped element and a treatment tool (17) movable to and fro transversely to the conveying direction are provided. In opposition to the treatment tool (17), on upright bracing roll (15), rotatable about an axis extending transversely to the conveying direction, is provided for te plate-shaped element. The conveyor (3) comprises a carrier unit (8) for the plate-shaped element, which carrier unit can be moved together with the conveyor selectively in synchronism.
Abstract:
At least two carriers (12, 13) are provided at the cross cutter (4) of a glass cutting table (1), these carriers, after termination of the scoring operation, being brought into contact with a glass sheet (2) and push the latter away from the glass cutting table (1). Ordinarily, at least one of the carriers (suction cups 12, 13) is movable in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the cross cutter (4).
Abstract:
An apparatus for removing strips (13) from compartments (2) wherein the strips (13) are disposed horizontally in hook-shaped brackets (3) comprises an inclined conveyor (7) movable into the region of a compartment (2) that is in the pickup position. A device (17) at the upper end of this inclined conveyor lifts the strips (13) off the conveyor, and an installation (23) removes the strips from the end of the device (17) on the delivery side.
Abstract:
A spacer frame for insulating glass has corners in which the radii of curvature of the inner wall and the outer wall each are of a larger radius than the side portions of the hollow shaped bar portion. The spacer frame may be manufactured in an apparatus provided for that purpose, having two displaceable bending heads, by first simultaneously bending a hollow shaped bar portion twice through 90.degree., and then further bending it twice through 90.degree. between the corners, wherein, before the operation of bending the corners, the inner wall of the hollow shaped bar portion is curved inwardly and two notches are produced in the outer wall.
Abstract:
A device for filling spacing mounting frames of insulating glass with hygroscopic material. Spacing mounting frames have corners that are formed integrally by bending from a single hollow profiled bar. A mounting support (8,18) is provided for the spacing mounting frame (1) to be filled and at least one multi-purpose tool (10) which preferably rotates like a turret head, is provided with three sequentially usable tools, namely: a drill (12) for forming an opening in the outer wall of the spacing mounting frame, a nozzle (13) for feeding the hygroscopic material into the spacing mounting frame (1) and a nozzle (14) for sealing the inlet opening.
