Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 80 words
Bending apparatus for bending sheets, comprising a punch and a cooperating die, a longitudinally extending recess in the surface of the die turned toward the punch, a stop member disposed in the bottom of the recess and having bottom and top surfaces, and means for changing said stop member to provide a different spacing between said bottom and top surfaces in the die recess, whereby, the degree of bending can be varied by changing said spacing of the stop member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 80 words
Bending apparatus for bending sheets, comprising a punch and a cooperating die, a longitudinally extending recess in the surface of the die turned toward the punch, a stop member disposed in the bottom of the recess and having bottom and top surfaces, and means for changing said stop member to provide a different spacing between said bottom and top surfaces in the die recess, whereby, the degree of bending can be varied by changing said spacing of the stop member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 34 words
Bending apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the stop member has predetermined dimensions, is formed as a readily removable and replaceable insert, and forms part of a set of similar but differently dimensioned inserts.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 18 words
Bending apparatus according to claim 1 wherein means are provided for adjusting the height of said stop member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 65 words
Bending apparatus according to claim 3 wherein substantially the whole length of the bottom surface of the recess in the die is provided with a number of sawteeth-like oblique flat surfaces and there are, for cooperation with said flat surfaces, corresponding bevelled surfaces on the bottom of the stop member, said pair of surfaces constituting the means for adjusting the height of the stop member.
