Abstract
Provided is an apparatus for manufacturing a multi-pane glass unit. The apparatus includes: a first plate configured to hold a first glass pane; a second plate configured to hold a second glass pane such that the second glass pane faces the first glass pane; and a conveyer including a first portion configured to convey the first glass pane onto the first plate and a second portion configured to convey the second glass pane onto the second plate.
Claims8
An apparatus for manufacturing a multi-pane glass unit, the apparatus comprising:
- a first plate and a second plate spaced apart from the first plate in a first direction, at least one of the first plate and the second plate configured to move relative to the other in the first direction;
- a conveyer configured to (i) run in a second direction that is not parallel to the first direction and (ii) pass above or below a press space between the first plate and the second plate, the conveyor having a surface configured to position a first edge surface of a first glass pane and a second edge surface of a second glass pane,
- wherein the conveyor is configured to move the surface in a third direction to position the second edge surface closer to the press space in the third direction than the first edge surface, the third direction orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction, and a height of the surface of the conveyor in the third direction is substantially uniform across an entirety of the surface in the first direction.
