    Die an Hand der Fig. 3 bis 6 beschriebene, Vorrichtung arbeitet wie folgt:The device described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6 works as follows:

    Eine Isolierglasscheibe 10, die beispielsweise in der aus der AT 370 201 B oder der AT 370 706 B bekannten Vorrichtung oder von Hand aus zusammengestellt worden ist und deren eine Glasscheibe 11 unten von dem auf die andere Glasscheibe 13 aufgesetzten Abstandhalterrahmen 14 einen Abstand aufweist, wird auf dem Bandförderer 9 aufstehend zwischen die Platten 1 und 2 gefördert, wo sie mit Schwergas gefüllt wird.An insulating glass pane 10, for example in the from AT 370 201 B or the AT 370 706 B known device or has been put together by hand and a glass pane 11 below of that placed on the other glass pane 13 Spacer frame 14 has a distance standing on the belt conveyor 9 between the plates 1 and 2 promoted where it is filled with heavy gas.

    Es kann auch so gearbeitet werden, daß die Glasscheibe 13 mit angesetztem Abstandhalter 14 an der Platte 1 lehnend vom Bandförderer 9 in den Raum zwischen den Platten 1 und 2 transportiert wird, während die andere vorher in dem Raum zwischen den Platten 1 und 2 transportierte Glasscheibe 11 an der verstellbaren Platte 2 gehalten wird.It can also be worked so that the glass sheet 13 with attached spacer 14 on the plate 1 leaning from the belt conveyor 9 transported into the space between the plates 1 and 2 while the other is previously in the space between the Plates 1 and 2 transported glass pane 11 on the adjustable Plate 2 is held.

    Sobald die Glasscheibe 13 ihre Endstellung erreicht hat, wird die Platte 2 mit der Glasscheibe 1 in Richtung auf die feststehende Platte 1 zu vorgeschoben bis die Glasscheibe 1 knapp vor den Abstandhalter 14 auf der Glasplatte 13 angeordnet ist. Nachdem die Dichtungen 30 und 31 in ihre Wirkstellungen gebracht worden sind, wird Schwergas zugeführt.As soon as the glass pane 13 has reached its end position the plate 2 with the glass plate 1 in the direction of the fixed Advance plate 1 until the glass pane 1 is scarce is arranged in front of the spacer 14 on the glass plate 13. After the seals 30 and 31 are brought into their operative positions heavy gas is supplied.

    Beim Einleiten von Schwergas bildet sich im Raum zwischen den Platten 1 und 2, der seitlich durch die Dichteinrichtungen 30, 31 begrenzt ist, ein Gassee 160 aus, dessen Grenzfläche 161 während des Füllvorganges nach oben wandert und dabei Luft nach oben aus dem Raum zwischen den Glasplatten 13 und 11 verdrängt, wie dies in Fig. 3 und 4 durch die Pfeile 162 symbolisiert ist.When heavy gas is introduced, it forms in the space between the Plates 1 and 2, which is laterally through the sealing devices 30, 31 is limited, a Gassee 160, the interface 161 migrates upwards during the filling process and air displaced upwards from the space between the glass plates 13 and 11, as symbolized by the arrows 162 in FIGS. 3 and 4 is.

    Insbesondere bei größeren Isolierglasscheiben 10 kann Schwergas auch an mehreren Stellen gleichzeitig zugeführt werden, wie dies durch die Pfeile 150, 155, 156 und 157 in Fig. 3 und 4 symbolisiert ist. Dabei ist in Betracht gezogen, daß Schwergas auch nur an einer der durch die Pfeile 150, 155, 156 und 157 symbolisierten Stelle zugeführt wird. Bevorzugt ist das Einleiten von Schwergas durch das Förderband 9 hindurch (Pfeile 156, 157).Heavy gas in particular can be used with larger insulating glass panes 10 can also be fed at several points at the same time, as indicated by arrows 150, 155, 156 and 157 in Fig. 3 and 4 is symbolized. It is considered that heavy gas only on one of the arrows 150, 155, 156 and 157 symbolized point is fed. This is preferred Introducing heavy gas through the conveyor belt 9 (arrows 156, 157).

    Sobald im Inneren der Isolierglasscheibe 10 der gewünschte Füllgrad (für Schallschutz etwa 50 %, für Vollwärmeschutz wenigstens 90 % Schwergas im Inneren der Isolierglasscheibe 10) erreicht worden ist, wird die Schwergaszufuhr unterbrochen und die Isolierglasscheibe 10 geschlossen, indem die Platte 2 auf die Platte 1 zu bewegt wird. Dabei wird die der Platte 2 benachbarte Glasscheibe 11 der Isolierglasscheibe 10 zur Gänze an den Abstandhalter 14 angelegt.As soon as inside the insulating glass pane 10 the desired one Degree of filling (about 50% for sound insulation, for full heat protection at least 90% heavy gas inside the insulating glass pane 10) has been reached, the heavy gas supply is interrupted and the insulating glass pane 10 is closed by the plate 2 is moved to the plate 1. The plate 2 Adjacent glass pane 11 of the insulating glass pane 10 in its entirety applied to the spacer 14.

    Dann wird die Platte 2 von der Platte 1 wegbewegt und die fertig verpreßte und mit Schwergas gefüllte Isolierglasscheibe 10 kann aus der Vorrichtung zu einer Versiegelungsvorrichtung transportiert werden.Then the plate 2 is moved away from the plate 1 and the Completely pressed insulating glass pane filled with heavy gas 10 can go from the device to a sealing device be transported.
