Abstract:
1. Method for the assembly of insulating glass panes that are filled with a gas different from air, comprising the steps of: Arranging a first glass panel and a second glass panel provided with a spacer in a vertical or inclined position so that they are placed one opposite the other without the first glass panel getting into contact with the spacer to form a glass panel arrangement; forming a chamber that encloses a space between the glass panels by providing a belt at a lower edge of the glass panel arrangement, which belt closes the chamber at its bottom, and by arranging adjacent each of upright edges of the glass panel arrangement at least one sealing means that extends from a point above the belt down to the belt for forming a front and a rear seal of the chamber; introducing the gas different from air into the chamber from below and forming an insulating glass pane, by approaching the glass panels one to the other when a desired filling degree or filling level has been reached to form an insulating glass pane, wherein during introduction of the gas different from air one of the first and second glass panels is held at a spacing from the belt to establish a gap between the belt and a lower edge of said one of the first and second glass panels and the gas different from air is introduced into the chamber through said gap; wherein the method is carried out between a first plate and a second plate, said second plate holding said one of the first and second glass panels and the flow of the gas different from air is homogenized before said gas is introduced through said gap.
