Abstract
A method is disclosed for forming a closed frame-shaped spacer on a glass sheet for an insulating glass pane by applying a spacer strand made of a pasty and subsequently solidifying plastic material to the glass sheet. The spacer strand is applied to the glass sheet in at least two layers lying on top of each other to form the spacer. The spacer strand is applied to the glass sheet in a first layer, and wherein the spacer strand is applied in a second layer on top of the spacer strand in the first layer. A start segment of the spacer strand in the first layer and an end segment in the last layer overlap at least partially.

A method for forming a closed frame-shaped spacer on a glass sheet for an insulating glass pane, comprising the steps of:
- applying a spacer strand consisting of a pasty and subsequently solidifying plastic material to the glass sheet;
- wherein the spacer strand is applied to the glass sheet in at least two layers lying on top of each other to form the spacer;
- wherein the spacer strand is applied onto the glass sheet in a first layer, and wherein the spacer strand in a second layer is applied onto the spacer strand in the first layer;
- and
- wherein the spacer strand is applied continuously from one layer of the at least two layers lying on top of each other into another layer of the at least two layers lying on top of each other.
An insulating glass pane, comprising:
- at least two glass sheets and a spacer arranged between them, which, due to its thickness, holds the two glass sheets at a predetermined distance to each other;
- wherein the thickness of the spacer is formed by at least two layers applied one on top of the other of a spacer strand comprising a start segment in the first layer and an end segment in the last layer;
- wherein the start segment in the first layer and the end segment in the last layer at least partially overlap;
- wherein at least one transition section of the spacer strand is arranged between the start segment in one layer of the at least two layers and the end segment in another layer of the at least two layers;
- and
- wherein the spacer strand in said transition section extends without interruption from said one layer into said other layer.
