Apparatus for the production of spacer frames

Apparatus for the production of spacer frames for insulating glass from a hollow molding, comprising a plate (10), two bending heads (12) positioned along an edge portion of said plate (10), said bending heads capable of being displaced along an axis both toward and away from one another along said edge portion to position said bending heads relative to said hollow molding at spaced locations, a transfer device (60) which is pivotable with respect to the plate (10) in order to remove spacer frames (44) from the bending apparatus (1), conveyor slide means capable of being displaced along an axis along a second edge portion of said plate (10) opposite that along which said bending heads are displaced, said conveyor slide means (50) being laterally displaceable from a position opposite said bending heads to a position adjacent transfer device (60), said transfer device (60) being pivotable about an axis parallel to the direction of movement of said conveyor slide means, and conveyor means (41,42) to convey spacer frames (44) removed from sand bending beads (12) after termination of said bending operation to said conveyor slide means (50).
