Abstract
In a process for fashioning a portion of a profiled bead ( ), which has been extruded onto an object, in particular a pane ( ), fastened in a treatment station (E), in which process an initially shapeless accumulation of material ( ) is produced in the portion in question, which accumulation of material is given a final shape corresponding to the uniform cross section, of the profiled bead ( ) by means of a moving tool ( ), any excess material being expelled in order to be removed, the mass of material ( ) is produced by the superposition of two portions of the extruded strip, the second portion being deposited after the die (D) has been moved and repositioned. Advantageously, the tool ( ) is, according to the invention, automatically aligned on the profiled bead ( ), immediately after the accumulated material ( ) has been extruded and after the extrusion die (D) has continued its travel, without moving the object, and is brought into contact with this bead. Also described is a device especially suitable for implementing this process.
