Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
106 words
An abrading material comprising a metal sheet having a multiplicity of spaced teeth on the surface shaped so as to have a generally flat polygonal top surface with sharp cutting corners and planing edges, said corners and edges having a hardened layer at the surface to a depth that still leaves unhardened supportive metal inside, and said teeth having a base portion which is integral with the sheet and of size larger than said top surface to form a mechanically strong nonhardened support for said corners and edges, said teeth having slanted sides that slant outward from the smaller top surface to the larger base portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
106 words
An abrading material comprising a metal sheet having a multiplicity of spaced teeth on the surface shaped so as to have a generally flat polygonal top surface with sharp cutting corners and planing edges, said corners and edges having a hardened layer at the surface to a depth that still leaves unhardened supportive metal inside, and said teeth having a base portion which is integral with the sheet and of size larger than said top surface to form a mechanically strong nonhardened support for said corners and edges, said teeth having slanted sides that slant outward from the smaller top surface to the larger base portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
The abrading material of claim 1 in which said teeth are positioned in uniformly random positions to intermix the orientation of the cutting corners and the planing edges.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
The abrading material of claim 2 in which said top surface and said base portion are triangular.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
The abrading material of claim 2 in which said top surface and said base portion are square.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
The abrading material of claim 1 in which said teeth have supporting slanted edges extending from said cutting corners to said larger base portion.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
33 words
The abrading material of claim 5 in which said base is about twice the width of said top surface and said teeth have a height about twice the width of the top surface.
