US Patent:
7032426, Apr 25, 2006
Filed:
Jun 4, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/861726
Inventors:
Max W. Durney - San Francisco CA, US
Alan D. Pendley - Petaluma CA, US
Irving S. Rappaport - Palo Alto CA, US
Assignee:
Industrial Origami, LLC - San Francisco CA
International Classification:
B21D 28/00
US Classification:
72324, 723792, 428136
Abstract:
A process for designing and manufacturing precision-folded, high strength, fatigue-resistant structures and a sheet therefore. The techniques include methods for precision bending of a sheet of material () along a bend line () and a sheet of material formed with bending strap-defining structures, such as slits or grooves (), are disclosed. Methods include steps of designing and then separately forming longitudinally extending slits or grooves () through the sheet of material in axially spaced relation to produce precise bending of the sheet () when bent along the bend line (). The bending straps have a configuration and orientation which increases their strength and fatigue resistance, and most preferably slits or arcs are used which causes edges () to be engaged and supported on faces () of the sheet material on opposite sides of the slits or arcs. The edge-to-face contact produces bending along a virtual fulcrum position in superimposed relation to the bend line (). Several slit embodiments () suitable for producing edge-to-face engagement support and precise bending are disclosed, as is the use of the slit sheets to produce various three-dimensional structures and to enhance various design and fabrication techniques.

10/795077
Inventors:
Max W. Durney - San Francisco CA, US
Philip M. Arnold - Redwood City CA, US
Assignee:
Industrial Origami, LLC - San Francisco CA
International Classification:
B21D 28/00
US Classification:
72324, 723792
Abstract:
A method of preparing a sheet of material for bending along a bend line comprising the step of forming of at least one displacement in the thickness direction of the sheet of material with a portion of the periphery of the displacement closest to the bend line providing an edge and opposed face configured in position to produce edge-to-face engagement of the sheet on opposite sides of the periphery during bending.
