  • Apparatus for producing multiple pane windows
    Patent number: 4014733
    Abstract: A conveyor and a cooling table define a path of advance for assemblies comprising two or more sheets of glass of the same dimensions held in juxtaposition and at a fixed spacing by a clamping jig. Heating means heat an edge of the glass sheets and are followed by a nozzle which injects a fusible sealant bead between the sheets along that edge prior to cooling at the cooling table of the bead so formed. A crank and associated clamps rotate the assembly about its corners for application of the bead along successive edges.
