Abstract
Weatherstrips () having opposed pile sealing elements () are installed in opposed slots in a frame member () so that the piles may engage opposite sides of a panel, shutter or screen (), by insertion apparatus having laterally-movable slotted guides (). The weatherstrips are driven through the slots in the guides by a drive wheel (). A laterally reciprocating cutter () has openings (), through which the weatherstrips are driven, and shearing edges () for cutting ends of the weatherstrips to facilitate entry of the weatherstrips from the slots in the guide into the slots in the frame member. Metering wheel () engages at least one of the weatherstrips moving through the guides, and provides for actuation of the cutter, when the desired length of the weatherstrips is driven through the guides; the length corresponding to the length of the frame member which receives the weatherstrips.
