Patent number: 11224911Abstract: An apparatus (10) for joining a predetermined geometrical profile shape from a sheet material (SM) includes a positioning assembly (12) including a base member (14) and a frame (16) that is operable to receive the sheet material (SM), to configure the sheet material in a predetermined orientation and to linearly translate the sheet material along a process direction (20). A Z-bar (22) is configured to guide a first longitudinal edge (FE) and second longitudinal edge (SE) of the sheet material (SM) into adjacent alignment along the process direction (20). A welding and forging assembly (60) welds and then forges a seam between the first longitudinal edge (FE) and the second longitudinal edge (SE) of the associated sheet material (SM).Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2019Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: Taylor-Winfield Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Francis L. Deley, Jr., Jason Garrett Lisko, Brian Rea, Jeffery Bell, Michael A. Gaskill
