Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
A precision cutting punching tool means as defined in claim 1, including means to lubricate the cutting edge means on said die member; wherein said die member is formed of a porous hard metal in order to be able to assist a lubricating film in carrying out its lubricating function.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
35 words
A precision cutting punching tool means as defined in claim 1, wherein said cutting edge means is in the form of substantially parabolic-shaped cutting edges, wherein the parabolic lines merge asymptotically with said surface lines.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
131 words
A precision cutting punching tool means comprising a die member provided with a die opening, a contact plate member having an opening for piercingly receiving a cutting punch member, a cutting punch member extending through said opening of said contact plate member and into said die opening, a counterpunch located in said die opening counteracting said cutting punch member, one of said members having an operable side which is provided at the region of the associated opening thereof with protruding ringlike projection means which encircle said opening in spaced relationship therefrom, said die member being provided with cutting edge means, the surface lines of said die opening with the exception of said cutting edge means extending substantially parallel, said cutting edge means of said die member possessing an irregular convex configuration.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
131 words
A precision cutting punching tool means comprising a die member provided with a die opening, a contact plate member having an opening for piercingly receiving a cutting punch member, a cutting punch member extending through said opening of said contact plate member and into said die opening, a counterpunch located in said die opening counteracting said cutting punch member, one of said members having an operable side which is provided at the region of the associated opening thereof with protruding ringlike projection means which encircle said opening in spaced relationship therefrom, said die member being provided with cutting edge means, the surface lines of said die opening with the exception of said cutting edge means extending substantially parallel, said cutting edge means of said die member possessing an irregular convex configuration.
