Abstract
Provided is a resin profile joining method of joining a pair of resin profiles. The method includes: holding one resin profile and another resin profile of the pair of resin profiles with a first clamp and a second clamp, respectively, such that end surfaces of the pair of resin profiles are faced each other; heating the end surfaces of the pair of resin profiles in no contact with the end surfaces of the pair of resin profiles to melt the pair of resin profiles; making a guide in contact with surfaces of the pair of resin profiles so as to cover between the end surfaces of the pair of resin profiles after the heating; and crimping the end surfaces of the pair of resin profiles to each other while keeping the guide in contact with the surfaces of the pair of resin profiles.

A resin profile joining method of joining a pair of resin profiles, the method comprising:
- holding one resin profile and another resin profile of the pair of resin profiles with a first clamp and a second clamp, respectively, such that end surfaces of the pair of resin profiles face each other;
- heating the end surfaces of the pair of resin profiles in no contact with the end surfaces of the pair of resin profiles to melt the pair of resin profiles;
- making a guide in contact with surfaces of the pair of resin profiles so as to cover between the end surfaces of the pair of resin profiles after the heating;
- and
- crimping the end surfaces of the pair of resin profiles to each other while keeping the guide in contact with the surfaces of the pair of resin profiles, thereby joining the pair of resin profiles.
