Definitions

  • the improved method of the present invention ensures superior tightness of the seams as well as greater rigidity of the duct entities than before. and it is particularly characterized in that the bends made on the duct edges are half-closed (bent at an angle between and as opposed to fully closed 180) bends in prior art, that a strip of a packing material is placed in the seam, and the seam is secured with a push-on strip having a substantially triangular cross section. This latter operation is performed with the aid of a special tool, which urges the central part of the strip against the packing and simultaneously supports the lateral components wings of the seam from below or even raises them.
  • optional characteristics specify an advantageous cross section shape of the packing strip and additional bending operations concerning the lateral wings of the seam and intended to impart the completed ducting greater rigidity.
  • the present invention concerns a method for seaming sheet metal ducts, especially transversal seaming of ducts, wherein a push strip joint is employed, composed of bends made of the edges of the walls of the ducts to be joined and of a strip to be pushed over these.
  • the aim of the present invention is to avoid the drawbacks pointed out and to accomplish a simple seaming method based on the push strip joint.
  • the aims of the invention are achieved in a method which is mainly characterized in that the edges to be joined are provided with half-closed bends, and the seam is provided with a packing and secured with a strip having a cross section of substantially triangular shape, and the seam thus obtained is made tight with the aid of a tool appropriate to this purpose by urging the central part of the strip against the packing, while at the same time supporting and/or raising the seam from under the strip.
  • FIG. 1a shows a seam according to the invention, already fitted with a push strip and a packing, prior to its final tightening and closure.
  • FIG. 1b shows the seam of FIG. 1a, finished to be tight.
  • FIG. 2a shows a raised seam prior to tightening
  • FIG. 2b shows the same seam, finished to be tight.
  • FIG. 3a shows a seam which is wider than the preceding ones
  • FIG. 3b shows the same seam, completed after its tightening and bending operations.
  • the seam may be provided with a raised ridge 4 (FIGS. and 2b) and/or the seam may be made so wide that (FIG. 3) the wings 2, 5a and 2', 5b of the seam may be bent, for instance, to be substantially perpendicular to the wall of the duct (FIG. 3b).
  • a strip-like packing 3 which has a cross section preferably similar in shape with the push strip 2 (in FIGS. Ia and 2a triangular).
  • the shape and material of the packing 3 may vary within wide limits, depending on the particular application.
  • the edges la and lb of the duct sections are provided with halfclosed bends 5a and 5b, the packing 3 is placed into position, and the push strip 2 is pushed over the packing 3 and the bends 5a and 5b in conventional manner.
  • the end of the push strip 2 may be provided with a tongue (not depicted), which is bent at an angle after the push strip 2 has been pushed into position. In this manner the untightened seams of FIGS. 1a, 2a and 3a are produced.
  • a suitable traction tool (not depicted) is used to press the central part of the push strip 2 against the packing 3, while at the same time the tool supportsand/or raises the wings 2, 5a and 2, 5b of the seam, which are directed obliquely outward from the duct wall, by acting upon them in the wedge-shaped space between the wall and the wings.
  • This enables the seam to be efficiently braced during the tightening operation.
  • the same tool, or another tool may be used to produce the rigidityinducing bends of FIG. 3b.
  • the tool for use in the seaming operation just described may be designed in many different ways.
  • the tool may be of the sliding type and provided with wedge-shaped pressing and supporting projections. Instead of a fixed tool, one may use an equivalent tool provided with rotatable rollers.
  • the seam is fin ished and has the appearance shown in FIGS. lb, 2b and 3b.
  • Method of seaming the opposed edges of sheet metal ducts, particularly for use in transversely seaming ducts, comprising:
