Abstract: A method for producing block mountings and an associated application device. The method for producing block mountings of windows (1) comprises the following steps: providing a frame made up of frame profiles (2) with one or more panes (3) arranged therein, wherein a gap (4) can be formed between at least one frame profile (2) and the one or more panes (3), fitting one or more, in particular adaptable, coverings (7) for covering an application region. The application region is delimited by the one or more coverings (7) in the peripheral direction, the frame profile (2) and the one or more panes (3). The one or more coverings has or have at least one opening, and the curable polymer (6) is introduced through the opening of the one or more coverings into the application region.

Abstract: A method for producing blocks of windows (1). The method comprises the following steps: i) providing a frame consisting of frame profiled elements (2) having one or more panes (3) arranged therein, wherein a gap (4) can be formed between at least one frame profiled element (2) and the one or more panes (3), ii) inserting adaptable, particularly temporary, boundaries (7) for bounding the application region into the gap (4), wherein the application region is bounded by the boundaries (7) in the peripheral direction, the frame profiled element (2), and the one or more panes (3), and iii) introducing the curable plastic (6) into the application region.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are described for the production of a mitered corner joint between parts of a frame, by vibration welding. During the welding procedure, in each case two parts of a frame are displaced by oscillatory heads into mutually perpendicular straight-line translatorial oscillations, the phases of which have been matched to one another in such a way that mitered areas of the two parts of the frame oscillate perpendicularly with respect to a stationary mitered plane and through the same, while the mitered area is retained under a prescribed welding pressure in the system. The method and the apparatus can be used for the simultaneous production of the four corner joints of a frame, in particular of a frame of the moveable or fixed part of windows or of doors. For this, at least four, and preferably eight, oscillatory heads, which displace the parts of the frame into the translatorial oscillations, are synchronized in such a way that their frequencies and amplitudes are the same.
