Patent number: 11458522Abstract: The method serves for expanding and formatting profiled metal strip material (1) to form a netting-like mat structure (2) of a predeterminable mesh width by a continuous drawing-open process. For this purpose, the strip material (1) is provided with notches (3), which extend in the longitudinal direction of the strip, are of a limited length and between them form metal strands (11), wherein, after the expanding and formatting, the unnotched regions form netting nodes (4) and initially the metal strands (11) are connected to one another by way of adjoining webs in the base of the notch. The webs have fatigue-fracture induced incipient tears formed by flexural deformation. The remaining web is then severed by a separating roll, so that the metal strands (11) are reliably separated from one another in the notch region and the strip material (1) can be drawn open to form the netting-like structure.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2018Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: HACANOKA GMBHInventor: Karl-Hermann Stahl

Patent number: 10995493Abstract: The profiled metal fibre with a substantially rectangular cross-section, also with bent fibre ends in the form of a clip, is used to stabilise, bond, attach or join materials and construction materials such as concrete, wood, paper and the like. The fibre edges of the fibre outer surfaces extending in the longitudinal direction of the fibre are designed as edge surfaces (2) oriented at an angle to the fibre outer surfaces in the manner of a bevel. The two wider fibre outer surfaces (3.1, 3.2) of the rectangular fibre are provided with V-shaped channels (4) extending in the longitudinal direction, wherein the edge surfaces (2) are provided with projections (6) and the V-shaped channels (4) are provided with end zones (5) that bound their longitudinal extent. The projections form anchoring heads and the end zones form anchor surfaces with respect to the material to be stabilised, bonded or attached.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2017Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: HACANOKA GMBHInventor: Karl-Hermann Stahl

Patent number: 9630226Abstract: A method of making steel fibers, preferably for use as a concrete additive, and for the supply thereof in making steel fiber concrete, characterized in that to form the steel fibers (2) first a sheet-metal strip (1) is notched either on one face or both faces so as to form steel-fiber wires (4) that are initially connected together by webs (5), and that further, for subsequently converting the webs (5) into thin easily mutually separable separation webs forming separation surfaces that are fracture-rough and low in burring upon separation, the steel-fiber strip is subjected to a flexing process in which each web (5) is subjected to multiple bending deformations about its longitudinal axis in such a way that incipient cracks are produced at the webs (5) due to fatigue fracture and thus the separation webs are produced.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2015Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: CENT & CENT GMBH & CO.

Patent number: 9511413Abstract: The method serves for the production of a wire strip (1) comprising a plurality of wires (2) arranged parallel to each other. For this purpose a metal strip is first pre-notched either on one side or both sides for the formation of the wires (2), whereby wires (2) are generated which are still connected to webs (3). To transform the webs (3) subsequently into thin, easy to separate and, when separated, smooth and burr-free separation webs forming separation areas, the wire strip (1) is subjected to a milling process during which each web (3) is subjected to a multiple bending strain along the longitudinal axis thereof in such a way that incipient cracks form, due to fatigue fracture, in the area of the webs (3), and thereby the separation web is created.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2014Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: CENT & CENT GMBH & CO.

Patent number: 9180602Abstract: The method serves for producing network-like metal mats from metallic strip material, for which purpose the strip material is first provided with notches (2), running parallel to one another, for the forming of metal wires (1), by means of notching rollers. The notches (2) are thereby formed to such depths, depending on the material, that as far as possible no sliding fractures are formed. The notches (2) are interrupted by unnotched regions—the mutual spacing of which in the respective notch (2) determines the later possible mesh width—at least in such a way that they later form network nodes (4). The network nodes (4) are offset by approximately half a network node spacing in the respectively adjacent notches (2).Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2011Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: HACANOKA GMBHInventor: Karl-Hermann Stahl
