Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
57 words
The method of forming a flat copper-clad steel wire comprising the steps of: A. cold dRawing round copper-clad steel wire into a wire of rectangular section, and B. cold rolling said rectangular sectioned wire thereby flattening the same and decreasing its sectional area while retaining a substantial thickness of copper over the entire surface of said wire.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
57 words
The method of forming a flat copper-clad steel wire comprising the steps of: A. cold dRawing round copper-clad steel wire into a wire of rectangular section, and B. cold rolling said rectangular sectioned wire thereby flattening the same and decreasing its sectional area while retaining a substantial thickness of copper over the entire surface of said wire.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the longer dimension of a section of said flattened wire is at least four times the shorter dimension of said section.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
The method of claim 2 wherein the longer dimension of said rectangular section after drawing but prior to rolling is at least twice the shorter dimension of said section.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said cold drawing into a rectangular section is effected through a plurality of dies in a continuous run.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of claim 3 wherein said cold drawing into a rectangular section is effected through a plurality of dies in a continuous run.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of claim 2 wherein said longer dimension exceeds the longer dimension of the final of said rectangular sections after drawing but prior to rolling.
