Abstract

See full text

A system and method for fabricating the corner of a plastic window frame. The system includes a metal platen having opposed sides and that is for heating and melting adjacently disposed frame pieces by being inserted between the adjacently disposed frame pieces as the adjacently disposed frame pieces are brought into contact with respective opposed sides of the metal platen in order to melt adjacent surfaces of the adjacently disposed frame pieces. The adjacently disposed frame pieces, once heated and melted, are drawn together to form the corner of the vinyl window frame. A release layer is secured to the opposed sides of the metal platen and disposed between the respective adjacently disposed frame pieces and the opposed sides of the metal platen to prevent adherence between the metal platen and frame pieces. The release layer is comprised of a release film having a work area corresponding to an area where the adjacently disposed frame pieces are to be joined and a non-work area outside of the work area, and at least one adhesive strip is disposed within the non-work area for securing the release film to the metal platen while the work area is absent any adhesive between the release layer and the metal platen.
