Abstract
An apparatus for bending hollow profile strips into spacer frames for insulating glass panes, comprises an inclined supporting wall 1, at the bottom rim 8 of which at least one bending head 2 is arranged. A conveyor track 20 feds hollow profile strips to be bent into spacer frames. A device 40 transfers the hollow profile strips from the conveyor track 20 into supports 7 in the zone of the bottom rim 8 of the supporting wall 1. This assembly is provided behind the supporting wall 1. Thereby, the space behind the supporting wall 1 is utilized and the front side of the apparatus remains vacant so that it is accessible for an operator without any danger, and mounting space is saved.

Apparatus for the production of spacer frames for insulating glass panes from hollow profile strips, comprising an inclined supporting wall (1) for supporting said frames at least one bending head (2) at a bottom rim (8) of said wall (1), means defining a conveyor track (20) extending in parallel to the bottom rim (8) of the supporting wall (1) for feeding hollow profile strips to be bent into spacer frames, and a device (40) for transferring hollow profile strips from the conveyor track (20) onto supports (7) adjacent the bottom rim (8) of the supporting wall (1), the conveyor track (20) and the device (40) for transferring hollow profile strips from the conveyor track (20) onto said supports (7) being disposed behind the supporting wall (1), and means for raising the conveyor track (20) into a position wherein the track (20) is aligned with said device (40) to permit transfer of said strips to said device and for lowering the conveyor track out of alignment with said device (40) thereby to permit said device (40) to transfer said strips onto said supports (7) without obstruction by the conveyor track (20).
Apparatus for the production of spacer frames for insulating glass panes from hollow profile strips, comprising an inclined supporting wall (1) for supporting said frames, at least one bending head (2) at a bottom rim (8) of said wall (1), means defining a conveyor track (20) extending in parallel to the bottom rim (8) of the supporting wall (1) for feeding hollow profile strips to be bent into spacer frames, and a device (40) for transferring hollow profile strips from the conveyor track (20) onto supports (7) adjacent the bottom rim (8) of the supporting wall (1), the conveyor track (20) and the device (40) for transferring hollow profile strips from the conveyor track (20) onto said supports (7) being disposed behind the supporting wall (1), wherein the conveyor track (20) is formed by several groups (23) of rollers (24, 25, 26), wherein each roller group (23) comprises two freely rotatable rollers (24, 25) supported to be freely rotatable about axes perpendicular to the supporting wall (1), and one roller (26) supported to be freely rotatable about an axis parallel to the supporting wall (1).
Apparatus for the production of spacer frames for insulating glass panes from hollow profile strips, comprising an inclined supporting wall (1) for supporting said frames, at least one bending head (2) at a bottom rim (8) of said wall (1), means defining a conveyor track (20) extending in parallel to the bottom rim (8) of the supporting wall (1) for feeding hollow profile strips to be bent into spacer frames, and a device (40) for transferring hollow profile strips from the conveyor track (20) onto supports (7) adjacent the bottom rim (8) of the supporting wall (1), the conveyor track (20) and the device (40) for transferring hollow profile strips from the conveyor track (20) onto said supports (7) being disposed behind the supporting wall (1), wherein the supports (7) for hollow profile strips are angular members having a leg (9) parallel to the plane (11) of the supporting wall (1) and in alignment with this plane (11), and a further leg (10) substantially perpendicular to said plane (11) and pointing in an upward direction.
