Abstract
Device for filling spacer frames for insulating glass with hygroscopic material, the frames comprising a first wall and a second wall that lie respectively outside and inside the insulating glass and two third side walls arranged adjacent to the glass sheets forming the insulating glass. The device comprises first means for forming at least one opening at the second inner wall of the frame and second means for inserting the hygroscopic material. There are also third means which seal the opening formed on the second inner wall.
Claims13
Apparatus for filling a hollow spacer frame for insulating glass with hygroscopic material wherein said spacer frame is bent and joined to form a continuous closed piece, and wherein the spacer frame comprises:
- a pair of opposite wall portions to each of which is connectable a respective glass sheet of a pair of glass sheets such as to form an insulating glass chamber between the glass sheets and the continuous closed spacer frame;
- an inner wall portion extending between said opposite wall portions such as to delimit said chamber together with said pair of glass sheets when said pair of glass sheets are connected to said pair of opposite wall portions;
- and an outer wall portion extending between said opposite wall portions such as to be arranged outside with respect to said chamber when said pair of glass sheets are connected to said pair of opposite wall portions;
- wherein the apparatus comprises:
- a device for forming at least one opening at said inner wall portion of said bent and continuous closed spacer frame;
- a device for inserting hygroscopic material inside said hollow spacer frame through said at least one opening;
- and
- a device for sealing said at least one opening after hygroscopic material has been inserted therethrough.
