  • Patent number: 9212516
    Abstract: A method for assembling insulating glass panes from two or more glass sheets filled with a gas other than air, two plates facing each other, arranged parallel to each other vertically or inclined with adjustable mutual distance, a horizontal conveyor arranged near the lower edge of the plates, a first sealing device and a second sealing device, positioned at the 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, delimited on both the sides by the two plates and by the two sealing devices. For assembling overlong insulating glass panes, the glass sheets, at one of which a frame-like spacer is attached on both the sides, are positioned between the plates opposite each other.

  • Patent number: 9079335
    Abstract: A method and device for preparing a paste-like compound having at least two constituents which set after having been mixed. The mixed compound is injected into an intermediate space between two glass panels of an insulating glass pane by delivering the at least two constituents from storage containers into separate intermediate storage units from which they are delivered into a mixer in which the constituents are mixed while passing through the mixer. The compound leaving the mixer is injected into the intermediate space between the two glass panels by a nozzle which has at least one opening directed into the intermediate space between the glass panels. The nozzle is moved along the edge of at least one of the two glass panels. The constituents of the paste-like compound are pumped using gear pumps from the intermediate storage units into the mixer, where they are dynamically mixed by motor-driven mixing elements.

  • Publication number: 20140096912
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for assembling insulating glass panes filled with a gas other than air. According to said method, two glass sheets provided with a spacer are arranged in a vertical or inclined position and facing each other, gas that is different from air is introduced into a chamber from below and the insulating glass pane is formed by moving the glass sheets closer to each other after reaching a desired gas filling level. According to the invention, the gas is homogenized before said gas is introduced through said gap.

  • Publication number: 20110120207
    Abstract: A method for characterizing magnetorheological fluids using a volume flow rate measurement. The volume flow of the magnetorheological fluid through a capillary is initially measured, with a constant weight force being applied onto the magnetorheological fluid. A magnetic field is then applied to the capillary, and the volume flow of the magnetorheological fluid through the capillary is measured with the magnetic field applied, with a second constant weight force being applied onto the magnetorheological fluid. A device for carrying out the method comprises a container for storing a magnetorheological fluid, wherein the container is connected on one side to a capillary through which the magnetorheological fluid can flow, and is closed on a different side by a movable piston, which presses the magnetorheological fluid through the capillary with a constant weight force, and means for generating a magnetic field are provided in the region of the capillary.
