Abstract

A method of producing a layer of plastics material between two glass panes and an apparatus for performing said method, wherein the plastics material is filled in liquid form between the two glass panes which are in an inclined or vertical position and maintained parallel and sealed at their outer edges, are characterized in that the two glass panes are pressed against each other at their outer surfaces by one or a plurality of rotatable devices to achieve pressure guided in parallel and extending preferably over the total width of the glass panes, which pressure devices are movable along the total length of the glass panes, and that the pressure devices are moved at the curing rate of the plastics material from one end of the glass panes to the other end of the glass panes relative thereto.
