Abstract
An apparatus for manufacturing a glazing panel which includes a pair of glazing sheets separated by an intervening marginal spacer frame formed to a required size and shape from strip material and marginally secured between the pair of sheets. The apparatus comprises a frame forming mechanism which includes guides defining at least two paths for feeding required lengths of the strip material, stops defining a position for the leading ends of the strip material as it is fed, a plurality of bending stations arranged to bend the strip material on at least one of the paths to form frame corner angles at required distances from the stops, and apparatus for joining the ends of spacer strip material which has been fed along the paths and bent, thereby to form the frame.
