Hand warmer device known as "Z" muff

Abstract

A Special Under-deck Panel Making Machine device and Method to Use is presented. The machine is comprised essentially of a way to slit sheet metal to a pre-decided width; a series of mating rollers to form the sheet metal; a manner to convey and “pull” the sheet metal through the slitter and forming rolls; a way to cut the formed panel to a length; a manner to unload the cut panel; and a way to support the entire machine. The device and method solves the needs of the deck and construction industry and provides an effective manner to make various sizes quickly and accurately at the jobsite.

1 . A specially configured device for use as a sheet metal forming machine, comprising: 
 (a) a means to load the sheet metal into the device from a roll of the metal;    (b) a means to initiate the metal sheet into the device;    (c) a means  34  to slit sheet metal to a pre-decided width;    (d) a means to form the sheet metal;    (e) a means to convey and “pull”  39  the sheet metal through the slitter  34  and forming means;    (f) a means to cut  36  the formed panel  44  to a length;    (g) a means to unload  37  the cut panel; and    (h) a means to support  38  the device;    whereby the machine device is used to form various panel width of sheet metal at a job site in a timely manner.    
   
   
       2 . The object according to  claim 1  wherein the metal formed is aluminum.  
   
   
       3 . The object according to  claim 1  wherein the metal formed is steel.  
   
   
       4 . The object according to  claim 3  wherein the steel is pre-coated with an anti-corrosion coating.  
   
   
       5 . The object according to  claim 1  wherein the means to load the sheet metal into the device is a material roll.  
   
   
       6 . The object according to  claim 1  wherein the means to initiate the metal sheet into the device is a feed unit  33 .  
   
   
       7 . The device according to  claim 1  wherein the means to form the sheet metal is a series of mating rollers  35  to form the sheet metal;  
   
   
       8 . The object according to  claim 7  wherein the series of mating rollers  35  are three (3) rollers with 30, 60, and 90 degree mating configuration.  
   
   
       9 . The object according to  claim 1  wherein the means to support  38  the device is a heavy steel weldment.  
   
   
       10 . The object according to  claim 1  wherein the means to support  38  the device is a composite material.  
   
   
       11 . A method for forming sheet material into an under deck panel in a controlled manner comprising: 
 a) STEP 1: Load the material roll into a feed unit  33  which holds a roll of flat sheet metal;    b) STEP 2: Adjust a slitter unit  34  which is easily adjusted to provide a quick and easy field adjustment for cutting the deck panels  44 ;    c) STEP 3: Form the sheet metal in a series of form rollers  35  that permit sides of a panel  44 B to be formed;    d) STEP 4: Cut the panel  44  by a means  36  to cut the panel  44  to a prescribed length; and    e) STEP 5: Unload the panel  44  at an unload station  37 .    
   
   
       12 . The method according to  claim 11  wherein the material is a composite material.  
   
   
       13 . The method according to  claim 12  wherein the composite material is plastic.  
   
   
       14 . The method according to  claim 11  wherein the material is a metal.  
   
   
       15 . The method according to  claim 14  wherein the metal material is steel.  
   
   
       16 . The method according to  claim 14  wherein the metal is aluminum.
