摘要:
A portable metal stud punching system has an alignment frame with an infeed alignment port in a first side and an outfeed alignment port in an opposite side. There is a punch and die positioned within the alignment frame. A length of metal stud is inserted through the infeed alignment port with one vertical side of the metal stud disposed between the punch and the die. A first hydraulic unit is attached to the punch and moves a first direction thereby inserting the punch into the die and punching a tab out of the vertical side of the metal stud. A second hydraulic unit moves the punch assembly in a direction perpendicular to the first direction of the first hydraulic unit. After the tab has been punched, the second hydraulic unit advances the metal stud by sliding the punch assembly a distance equal to the desired space between tabs. The punch is retracted by the first hydraulic unit and the punch assembly is returned to its original position by the second hydraulic unit.

A process for designing and manufacturing precision-folded, high strength, fatigue-resistant structures and a sheet therefore. The techniques include methods for precision bending of a sheet of material (41, 241, 341, 441, 541) along a bend line (45, 245, 345, 445,543) and a sheet of material formed with bending strap-defining structures, such as slits or grooves (43, 243, 343, 443, 542), are disclosed. Methods include steps of designing and then separately forming longitudinally extending slits or grooves (43, 243, 343, 443, 542) through the sheet of material in axially spaced relation to produce precise bending of the sheet (41, 241, 341, 441,541) when bent along the bend line (45, 245, 345, 445, 543). The bending straps have a configuration and orientation which increases their strength and fatigue resistance, and most preferably slits or arcs are used which causes edges (257, 457) to be engaged and supported on faces (255, 455) of the sheet material on opposite sides of the slits or arcs. The edge-to-face contact produces bending along a virtual fulcrum position in superimposed relation to the bend line (45, 245, 345, 445, 543). Several slit embodiments (43, 243, 343, 443, 542) suitable for producing edge-to-face engagement support and precise bending are disclosed, as is the use of the slit sheets to produce various three-dimensional structures and to enhance various design and fabrication techniques.

Method and device for cutting out sheet metal blanks preferably from a coil (2) of a thin sheet metal strip (4), with stepped uncoiling and straightening of the metal strip (4) in the longitudinal direction of the device on a processing platform (10). In a first operation, the metal strip (4) is gripped above the processing platform (10) by a lateral clamping frame (14) and tensioned in the transverse direction relative to the feed direction. In a cutting position (6) the strip (4) is initially cut except for the webs that hold the blanks in the residual strip (4). The initially cut strip (4), still clamped, is then moved into a depositing position (7) above a depositing platform (12) by pull-out rollers (8) that tension the metal strip (4) in the longitudinal direction. The precut strip (4) and the cutting head(s) (15) are jointly moved into the depositing position where the cutting head(s) (15) that performed the main cutting operation severs the webs and the blanks are stacked in sorted fashion. Thereafter, the residual strip (4) is moved from the depositing position (7) to a disposal unit (9). The apparatus consists of a reel (1) that holds the coil (2) followed by a straightening unit (3) and by a cutting machine (5) with cutting heads (15), a cutting position (6) and a depositing position (7), followed by pull-out rollers (8) and finally by a disposal unit (9) that cuts up and collects the residual metal strip (4). Located in the cutting position (6) is a work support table (11) that supports the metal strip (4) unrolled from the coil (2). Located in the depositing position (7) is an elevating table (13) that supports the depositing platform (12) and can be lowered to adapt to the deposited blanks. Located at the processing level between the cutting position (6) and the depositing position (7) is a movable clamping frame (14) that grips the metal strip (4), tensioning and holding it in the transverse direction relative to its feed direction in the cutting machine (5). Plates can be processed by clamping them in the frame at the processing station.

A plate-shaped member having a recess useful for an electronic part and particularly for a heat dissipation plate for a semiconductor element, the inside and outside of which member are flat. The plate-shaped member has a recess defined by a bottom wall portion and a side wall portion extending from a peripheral end of the bottom wall portion formed without bending a metallic plate, by press forming. The upper and lower surfaces of the side wall and the bottom wall are formed in parallel and flat, and the thickness of the bottom wall is smaller than the thickness of the metallic plate and, further, the thickness, between the upper surface and the lower surface, of the side wall is larger than the thickness of the metallic plate.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a louver fabricating tool comprising a shaper element and a die element. The die element includes a recessed area having side walls and projections and an outwardly tapered apex wall. The shaper element includes an abutting region designed to fit a portion of the recessed area. The louver tool is portable and can form louvers in situ in sheet like material capable of being deformed because the louver tool only requires access to one side of the deformable sheet-like material in order to fabricate the louver.
摘要:
A letter and number kit for use in preparing signs or names and addresses including street numbers. The kit consists of a packet of thin metal plates, each having upper and lower longitudinally and transversely extending score lines to provide segments having a blank on one or both faces or a letter, number, or punctuation mark on one or both faces of each segment. The number of letters in the kit may be varied. Primary letters of the alphabet which are used more frequently than other letters are present in the kit in a greater number than secondary letters which in turn are present in the kit in a greater number than tertiary letters. For instance, in comparatively large kits from approximately eight to eleven of each of the primary letters, from six to seven of each of the secondary letters and from approximately two to five of each of the tertiary letters may be present.Means including special blades are provided to respectively cut upper and lower transversely and longitudinally extending indentations or score lines to divide the plate into rectangularly-shaped segments. In both operations, blades having opposed tapered cutting edges may be provided in both the upper and lower dies of the press for separately cutting both the longitudinally and the transverse score lines on indentations and while the press is set to provide oppositely disposed upper and lower score lines in the thin metal blades, stops are provided in the lower bed of the press to prevent the blades from severing the thin metal plates, thus limiting the depth of the opposed score lines or indentations of the blades.Circular blades having tapered peripheries may also be arranged in opposed relation on a driving and a driven shaft or on driving shafts to provide upper and lower score lines or indentations in each of the metal plates.
