Abstract

An apparatus 1 for making welded frames 4 is provided, the apparatus 1 including a pair of support beds 2 provided with actuating means for moving them towards and away from each other, above the beds 2 is mounted a pair of flat plates 5 which are movable towards each other in a horizontal plane to form together a horizontal welding plate, which has means for lowering and raising it and, a vertical welding plate 7 is mounted above the plates to be movable up and down. The method of making the welded frame comprises the steps of: cutting the mitre joints in the frame 4; holding two frames 4 with their mitre joints spaced apart for subsequent joining; lowering the vertical welding plate 7 between the exposed mitre joints; pushing the mitre joints against the welding plate 7; heating the welding plate 7; raising the welding plate 7; pushing the heated mitre joints into contact, to form a butt joint; placing a filler strip 10 of plastics material across the exposed upper part of the contacting mitre joints; lowering the horizontal welding plate 5 onto the strip 10; and heating the welding plate 5 to fuse the strip 10 into the joint. The invention is particularly useful for the joining of plastics door and window frames. The advantage of putting the strip 10 across the exposed surface is that there will now be no hollow or recess in the face of the frame due to the molten plastics material flowing downwardly into the joint under gravity and this will be aesthetically pleasing.
