Abstract
Abstract A screen assembly for a vibratory screening machine including a frame in the nature of a plate having spaced apertures therein, spaced frame members on opposite sides of the apertures, a screen formed in an undulating shape having substantially parallel ridges with downwardly sloping sides, troughs formed between the downwardly sloping sides for conducting material which is being screened, undersides on the troughs, bonds for securing the undersides of the troughs to the spaced frame members which are located on opposite sides of the apertures, and channels at the sides of the plate for securing the frame to a vibratory screening machine.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
168 words
A method of screening material in a vibratory screening machine comprising the steps of providing a plurality of screen assemblies each having a frame with an undulating screen having ridges and troughs of substantially identical external cross sectional configurations secured to said frame and with said ridges and troughs having first and second opposite ends, mounting said plurality of screen assemblies on a vibratory screening machine in end-to-end adjacent relationship with said substantially identical external cross sectional configurations of said ridges and troughs of said plurality of screen assemblies being in alignment, depositing material to be screened on one of said screen assemblies, and oscillating said plurality of screen assemblies as a unit to cause said material deposited on said one of said screen assemblies to travel lengthwise of all of said aligned substantially identical external cross sectional configurations of said ridges and troughs of said plurality of screen assemblies and to pass continuously from at least one screen assembly onto the end of an adjacent screen assembly.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
168 words
A method of screening material in a vibratory screening machine comprising the steps of providing a plurality of screen assemblies each having a frame with an undulating screen having ridges and troughs of substantially identical external cross sectional configurations secured to said frame and with said ridges and troughs having first and second opposite ends, mounting said plurality of screen assemblies on a vibratory screening machine in end-to-end adjacent relationship with said substantially identical external cross sectional configurations of said ridges and troughs of said plurality of screen assemblies being in alignment, depositing material to be screened on one of said screen assemblies, and oscillating said plurality of screen assemblies as a unit to cause said material deposited on said one of said screen assemblies to travel lengthwise of all of said aligned substantially identical external cross sectional configurations of said ridges and troughs of said plurality of screen assemblies and to pass continuously from at least one screen assembly onto the end of an adjacent screen assembly.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
A method as set forth in claim 1 wherein said plurality of screen assemblies are oscillated substantially only in a direction lengthwise of said ridges and troughs.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
142 words
A method of screening material comprising the steps of providing a plurality of undulating screens having ridges and troughs of substantially identical external cross sectional configurations with said ridges and troughs having first and second opposite ends, mounting said plurality of undulating screens in end-to-end adjacent relationship with said substantially identical external cross sectional configurations of said ridges and troughs of said plurality of undulating screens being in alignment, depositing material to be screened on one of said undulating screens, and oscillating said plurality of undulating screens as a unit to cause said material deposited on said one of said undulating screens to travel lengthwise of all of said aligned substantially identical external cross sectional configurations of said ridges and troughs of said plurality of screens and to pass continuously from at least one screen onto the end of an adjacent screen.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
142 words
A method of screening material comprising the steps of providing a plurality of undulating screens having ridges and troughs of substantially identical external cross sectional configurations with said ridges and troughs having first and second opposite ends, mounting said plurality of undulating screens in end-to-end adjacent relationship with said substantially identical external cross sectional configurations of said ridges and troughs of said plurality of undulating screens being in alignment, depositing material to be screened on one of said undulating screens, and oscillating said plurality of undulating screens as a unit to cause said material deposited on said one of said undulating screens to travel lengthwise of all of said aligned substantially identical external cross sectional configurations of said ridges and troughs of said plurality of screens and to pass continuously from at least one screen onto the end of an adjacent screen.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
A method as set forth in claim 3 wherein said plurality of screens are oscillated substantially only in a direction lengthwise of said ridges and troughs.
