A method of joining band−shaped glass panes to each other at the end parts thereof, comprising the steps of disposing the end parts of the band−shaped glass panes overlappingly with each other within the range of the width of the glass panes, heating the end parts with a burner to soften the end parts, and pressing, at least once, the overlapped portions of the band−shaped glass pane end parts softened by heating by a pressing mold from both sides along the wall thickness direction of the band−shaped glass panes to splice the overlapped portions and form the portions to a thickness equal to the plate thickness of the band−shaped glass pane. A method of joining band-shaped glass panes to each other at the end parts thereof, comprising the steps of disposing the end parts of the band-shaped glass panes overlappingly with each other within the range of the width of the glass panes, heating the end parts with a burner to soften the end parts, and pressing, at least once, the overlapped portions of the band-shaped glass pane end parts softened by heating by a pressing mold from both sides along the wall thickness direction of the band-shaped glass panes to splice the overlapped portions and form the portions to a thickness equal to the plate thickness of the band-shaped glass pane. L'invention concerne un procédé d'assemblage de panneaux de verre en bande, les uns contre les autres, au niveau de leurs extrémités. Ce procédé consiste à disposer les extrémités des panneaux de verre en bande de façon qu'ils se superposent au niveau de leur largeur, à chauffer les extrémités superposées à l'aide d'une brûleur afin de les ramollir et à exercer au moins une pression sur les parties superposées dans un moule de pressage, des deux côtés, le long de l'épaisseur des panneaux de verre, afin de joindre les parties superposées et de donner à l'ensemble formé par les deux extrémités l'épaisseur d'un seul panneau de verre en bande.
