Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an automatic fastening device for a window profile,

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for automatically joining a stiffener to a window, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for automatically joining a stiffener to a window And more particularly, to a stiffener automatic fastening apparatus and method.

Generally, a window is a window or a door to be installed in an opening of a window or an entrance to block the inside of the building from the outside. In this case, It is classified as wooden window frame and metal window frame, but recently plastic door frames and window frames have been made. Moreover, window frames have been made of synthetic resin such as PVC.

Here, PVC is a synthetic resin belonging to the organic polymer series prepared by treating vinyl chloride with a peroxide catalyst in a water-soluble suspension or an emulsion, and is mixed with a plasticizer, a stabilizer and a pigment, and then a flexible product such as a packaging film I make it.

Such PVC is usually mixed with a low proportion of a rigid synthetic polymer to form a pipe or a structural panel. If the PVC is used as a window frame by extrusion molding, the mechanical performance such as strength tends to deteriorate.

Therefore, in order to improve the mechanical performance such as strength in the inside of the PVC window frame, a reinforcing material is inserted into the window frame as disclosed in Korean Patent Application No. 20-0375065.

In order to insert the stiffener into the window frame, the stiffener is manually operated. However, recently, the stiffener has been developed separately to automatically insert the stiffener inserted into the window frame.
