Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
An elongated striplike form member for use in the cutting and/or creasing of sheet material comprising; an elongated striplike base of ductile metal capable of being soldered to a carrier surface, an elongated rule having an outer forming edge and an inner edge embedded in said base with the rule extending in a plane generally parallel to said base, said base engaging marginal inner edge portions on opposite sides of said rule, said rule having a plurality of openings longitudinally spaced therealong and being at least partly filled by said base.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
91 words
An elongated striplike form member for use in the cutting and/or creasing of sheet material comprising; an elongated striplike base of ductile metal capable of being soldered to a carrier surface, an elongated rule having an outer forming edge and an inner edge embedded in said base with the rule extending in a plane generally parallel to said base, said base engaging marginal inner edge portions on opposite sides of said rule, said rule having a plurality of openings longitudinally spaced therealong and being at least partly filled by said base.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
A form member as claimed in claim 1, in which the inner edge surface is free of contact with the metal, the inner edge surface of the base is formed substantially flush with the inner edge surface of the rule.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
A form member as claimed in claim 1, in which the base is of white metal.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
A form member as claimed in claim 1, in which the base is of triangular section.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
A form member as claimed in claim 1, in which the base is of rectangular section.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
33 words
A form member as claimed in claim 1, in which at least one channel is formed in the underside surface of the base, and a thread of solder is located in each channel.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
42 words
The form member as claimed in claim 1 in which said openings and said rule are notches opening into said inner edge of said rule, the closed end of said notches being curved and wider than the open ends of said notches.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
77 words
A method of making a form member for a cutting and/or creasing machine comprising the steps of forming openings in an elongated rule spaced from the working edge thereof and applying elongated striplike ductile metallic base portions to opposite sides of said rule along the marginal inner edge portions of the rule with the base portions extending through at least part of said openings, said metallic base portions being capable of being soldered to a carrier surface.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
77 words
A method of making a form member for a cutting and/or creasing machine comprising the steps of forming openings in an elongated rule spaced from the working edge thereof and applying elongated striplike ductile metallic base portions to opposite sides of said rule along the marginal inner edge portions of the rule with the base portions extending through at least part of said openings, said metallic base portions being capable of being soldered to a carrier surface.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
16 words
A method as claimed in claim 8, in which said base portions are applied by casting.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
45 words
The method defined in claim 8 wherein said base portions are applied to said rule such that the inner edge surface of the rule remains free of contact with said base portions and is substantially flush with the inner edge surface of said base portions.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
79 words
The method defined in claim 9 wherein the base portions are cast in a hollow die means containing said rule with said openings and the inner edge portions facing upwardly in the die means and with the working edge of said rule projecting below the bottom of the die means and wherein molten metal is poured into said die means on opposite sides of said rule to the level of the upwardly facing inner edge portions of said rule.
Claim 14
Independent Claim
110 words
A method of forming an arrangement of forming members for use in cutting and/or creasing sheet material comprising the steps of forming a plurality of forming members, each forming member being formed by applying elongated strips of ductile metallic material to opposite sides of an elongated rule having an outer work forming edge and an opposite inner edge with said elongated strips of ductile material engaging opposite sides of said inner edge portions of said rule, deforming each of said forming members into an arcuate shape conforming to the shape of a carrier support surface, and individually attaching said forming members to said carrier support surface in a desired pattern.
Claim 15
Independent Claim
110 words
A method of forming an arrangement of forming members for use in cutting and/or creasing sheet material comprising the steps of forming a plurality of forming members, each forming member being formed by applying elongated strips of ductile metallic material to opposite sides of an elongated rule having an outer work forming edge and an opposite inner edge with said elongated strips of ductile material engaging opposite sides of said inner edge portions of said rule, deforming each of said forming members into an arcuate shape conforming to the shape of a carrier support surface, and individually attaching said forming members to said carrier support surface in a desired pattern.
