Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a spacer tube for the manufacture of spacer frames of insulating glazing, and to a method and an apparatus for the production thereof, and to an insulating glazing with a spacer frame composed of such spacer tubes.
  • a conventional insulating glazing has at least two mutually parallel and spaced-apart glass panes, between which a space between the panes of defined width is provided.
  • a circumferential spacer frame is provided between the two glass panes, which connects the two glass panes in the area of their outer edges of the pane and keeps them at a distance.
  • the spacer frame consists of a thin-walled spacer tube with a substantially rectangular cross-section, which has been bent to form the spacer frame accordingly, or of a plurality of individual spacer tubes, which are set by means of corner joints together.
  • spacer tubes are, for example, hollow profiles of aluminum, which are produced by roll bending or roll forming from an aluminum strip and subsequent welding of the abutting longitudinal edges of the aluminum strip. These spacer tubes have a wall thickness of 0.2-0.6 mm.
  • spacer tubes made of stainless steel are known.
  • the stainless steel spacer tubes are also made by roll bending or roll forming made of a stainless steel strip and then welding the abutting longitudinal edges of the strip and have a wall thickness of 0.15 to 0.2 mm.
  • a disadvantage of the aluminum and stainless steel spacer tubes is, on the one hand, that the material costs of aluminum and stainless steel, especially in recent years, have increased enormously.
  • the handling and further processing of the spacer tubes to spacer frames is often difficult.
  • the spacer tubes have before bending to the spacer frame usually a length of 5000 mm to 7000 mm.
  • spacer tubes due to their length, tend to deflect along the entire length of the tube so as to deflect bending axes parallel to the tube width direction and / or tube height direction.
  • This longitudinal instability and lability is particularly disadvantageous when bending the spacer tubes, usually by 90 °, to the spacer frame, especially for larger frame.
  • a profile rail for the edge-side spacing of two glass panes of a double glazing in the form of an elongated box profile emerges.
  • the profile rail has an outwardly facing rear side, two opposite broad sides as contact surfaces for a respective glass pane and a front side facing into the glass gap.
  • the box section is formed from a rolled in the form and welded together at its edges outside the front sheet metal strip and has embossed in the front side, running in the profile longitudinal stabilizing beads, each spaced from the longitudinal center line and have a depth which corresponds approximately to the material thickness of the strip.
  • the beads are introduced as depressions from the outside of the box profile in the front side. In addition, such beads may also be present on the back.

  • the assembly comprises a sealant which is connected to at least the first and second edges of the stretchable sealant support member.
  • the sealant support member may for example consist of aluminum foil.
  • spacer tubes made of plastic which are produced by extrusion.
  • Spacer tubes made of polymeric materials with low thermal conductivity have a lower heat transfer coefficient compared to spacer tubes made of stainless steel and are cheaper to produce.
  • further processing, especially bending to the spacer frames, is difficult.
  • plastic is not UV-resistant, tends to age and is not completely diffusion-tight. For this reason, it is known to cover the backs of the spacer tubes with a metallic foil. The foil acts as a diffusion barrier.
  • Object of the present invention is thus to provide a spacer tube for the production of spacer frame of a multi-pane double glazing, which is simple and inexpensive to produce, as well as a good processing and good handling realized.
