Abstract
Abstract An improved method and apparatus for the production of multiple gauge metal strip is disclosed wherein the metal strip is drawn over an arced surface under a shaving tool apparatus whereby the arced surface provides effective hold-down of the metal strip thereby allowing a greater volume removal of material per pass. The present invention contemplates an improved apparatus for holding the shaving tool's position with respect to the arced surface and the strip.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
143 words
A method for the production of a multiple gauge metal strip having at least two longitudinal regions of different thicknesses forming a generally stepped surface, said method comprising providing shaving means having an elongated cutting edge and anvil means having an arced surface, adjusting and maintaining said shaving means at a position opposed to and spaced from said anvil means to form a shaving gap, said adjusting and maintaining step including fastening said shaving means to an assembly comprising a horizontal member and vertical legs attached thereto, seating said assembly on gauge blocks of selected height, maintaining the assembly at the desired shaving gap by the application of downward pressure on said assembly and drawing a metal strip through said gap in contact with said shaving means and said arced surface, thereby shaving said strip to form a multiple gauge metal strip product.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
143 words
A method for the production of a multiple gauge metal strip having at least two longitudinal regions of different thicknesses forming a generally stepped surface, said method comprising providing shaving means having an elongated cutting edge and anvil means having an arced surface, adjusting and maintaining said shaving means at a position opposed to and spaced from said anvil means to form a shaving gap, said adjusting and maintaining step including fastening said shaving means to an assembly comprising a horizontal member and vertical legs attached thereto, seating said assembly on gauge blocks of selected height, maintaining the assembly at the desired shaving gap by the application of downward pressure on said assembly and drawing a metal strip through said gap in contact with said shaving means and said arced surface, thereby shaving said strip to form a multiple gauge metal strip product.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said arced surface has a radius of curvature of about one inch to twelve inches, whereby said strip is held against said surface within said shaving gap.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said arced surface is stationary.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
12 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said arced surface is rotatable.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said shaving means has a rake angle of about 2.5° to 45°.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the adjusting and maintaining step includes placing the shaving means in contact with the metal strip at the top region of said arced surface.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
29 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the drawing step includes passing the metal strip over the arced surface of said anvil between strip guides attached to the anvil.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
16 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said arced anvil has a surface of polished carbide.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
40 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said drawing step includes maintaining the metal strip in contact with the arced surface of said anvil, thereby effecting increased shaving efficiency and enhanced surface finish of the multiple gauge metal strip product.
