Patent ID: 8911654

Claim:
A process for manufacturing at least two different discrete edge encapsulated glazings in the same moulding operation, the glazings comprising panes of glass of different configuration, wherein panes of glass which are minor images of each other are considered to be of the same configuration, and the process comprising moulding a glazing profile onto at least part of the periphery of each pane of glass by: providing a composite mould comprising at least two separate different interchangeable mould modules, each mould module comprising at least one mould cavity, thereby providing at least two different mould cavities; opening the composite mould; loading at least two different panes of glass into the at least two different mould cavities of the open composite mould; closing the composite mould; injecting fluid elastomeric material into the at least two different mould cavities; allowing the elastomeric material to set; opening the composite mould; and removing the at least two edge encapsulated glazings from the composite mould, wherein the liquid elastomeric material is injected into the at least two different mould cavities at the same time, so that a glazing profile is moulded onto each of the two different panes of glass concurrently.
