  • Patent number: 6311601
    Abstract: A die for working sheet material by cutting the sheet material along cutting lines and scoring the sheet material along scoring lines offset from the cutting lines includes a pair of opposed, coacting die plates. One of the die plates carries knife edges extending along the cutting lines, and the other die plate includes a raised cutting land extending longitudinally along the desired cutting lines and extending transversely along the cutting lines, such that the knife edge engages the land as the sheet material is fed between the plates to thereby sever the sheet material along the cutting lines. The die plate carrying the cutting land also includes one or more pairs of offset scoring lands defining a scoring channel therebetween defining the scoring line. The die plate carrying the knife edge includes a scoring land which forces the sheet material into the channel as the sheet metal is fed between the plates to thereby effect scoring of the material.
