ABSTRACT:
A moveable clamp and an improved method of fabricating insulated glass is disclosed according to the preferred teachings of the present invention. The clamp includes first and second clamping rollers which are rotatably mounted to the first ends of first and second arms. The arms are pivotally mounted together by a third arm having a first end attached to the first arm and having a second end pivotally secured to the second arm. The second ends of the first and second arms are biased apart by a spring for creating a clamping force between the first and second clamping rollers. A first guide wheel is rotatably mounted to the first arm for rolling on the outside surface of the glass sheet to prevent the clamp from tipping with respect to the stacked glass sheets. A second guide wheel is rotatably mounted to the first arm for rolling on the edges of the stacked glass sheets for preventing the clamp from moving away from the perimeter of the stacked glass sheets. The clamp includes an abutment for abutting with the nozzle of the liquid sealing member applicator allowing the nozzle to push the clamp along the side of the stacked glass sheets. Thus, a continuous clamping force is applied to the stacked glass sheets and moveable with the applicator nozzle to prevent movement of the spacer between the stacked glass sheets during the application of the liquid sealing member.
