Patent ID: 7807003

Claim:
Method for assembling insulating glass panes from two or more than two glass sheets, which are filled with a gas other than air, in a device having two plates facing each other, which are arranged parallel to each other vertically or inclined and their mutual distance can be changed, having a horizontal conveyor arranged near a lower edge of the plates along a lower length of the plates and having a conveying direction, having a first sealing device and a second sealing device, which are positioned at protruding edges of both the plates or near these edges or between the plates and can extend between the horizontal conveyor and a point lying above the horizontal conveyor, and having means for feeding a gas other than air into a chamber, which chamber is delimited by the two plates and by the two sealing devices, wherein for assembling overlong insulating glass panes, which are longer than the plates, the glass sheets, to one of which is attached a frame-like spacer, which spacer is provided with an adhesive on both of its sides, are positioned opposite to each other between the plates in such a way that the glass sheets lie with their one end between the plates and close to the first sealing device and protrude with their other end from a space between both the plates, that by the first sealing device the chamber is delimited upwardly from a location on the horizontal conveyor, that a first glass sheet, to which the spacer is not yet attached, is bonded to the spacer by bending and approaching to a second glass sheet a section of the first glass sheet protruding from the space between the two plates and is not bent in another section and the section of the first glass sheet not bent and lying at one of the two plates is kept at a distance from the spacer, and that thereafter from below or from a location close above the horizontal conveyor the gas other than air is introduced into the chamber, after which the insulating glass pane is closed completely and is pressed between the plates.
