  • Patent number: 6306522
    Abstract: A lamella strip intended for further processing into a framework band with a U-shaped or V-shaped cross-section comprises lamellae (2) defined by separating cuts (1) which stand opposite one another in pairs, which lamellae are connected with one another via bridges (4). Each lamella (2) is divided by a center cut (6). Each lamella has two oblong bead-like stamp marks (7), which are arranged on both sides of the center cut (6), and end at a distance (A) from the edges (3) of the lamella strip, forming a smooth end region (8). To produce such a lamella strip, first the separating cuts (1) and center cuts (6) are made in a strip of sheet metal, before the bead-like stamp marks (7) are formed.

  • Patent number: 4943335
    Abstract: A method for producing a profiled strip and the resulting profiled strip, wherein the profiled strip comprises a flexurally elastic reinforcement insert deformed, for example, into a U-shape, covered by a covering of rubber, or the like which is preferably extruded over the insert. The insert is a metal strip which is stamp cut for defining a continuous web extending across the strip and for defining at least one plurality of rungs in the metal strip. The rungs extend away from the web and preferably are defined on both opposite sides of the web. The rungs are defined by a stamp cutting operation so that after the insert is smoothed following the stamp cutting, there is no spacing between neighboring edges of adjacent rungs.
