Claims
- 1. A method of forming a tooth for a comminuter roll, said tooth having a point for comminuting solids, the method including the steps of rolling a sheet of spring steel to a substantially cylindrical shape and forming one end of said rolled spring steel into said point.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the point-forming step is accomplished by cutting the end of the rolled spring steel at an acute angle.
- 3. The method of forming a comminuter tooth from a piece of spring steel, said piece having two parallel longitudinal edges and a distal edge orthogonal to both said longitudinal edges, said longitudinal edges and said distal edge defining a right rectangular distal end, the method including the steps of:
- cutting one corner from the distal end of said piece of spring steel, such that one said longitudinal edge is shorter than the other longitudinal edge;
- bending said shorter longitudinal edge 90 degrees to the plane of the piece of sheet steel and wrapping the remaining portion of the piece of steel around the 90-degree bent edge to form substantially a cylindrical shape, having a substantially G-shaped cross section.
- 4. A method of forming a tooth for a comminuter roll from a piece of spring steel, said piece having two parallel longitudinal edges and a distal edge orthogonal to both said longitudinal edges, said longitudinal edges and said distal edge defining a right rectangular distal end, the method including the steps of:
- cutting a corner from the distal end of said piece of sheet steel, such that one said longitudinal edge is shorter than the other longitudinal edge; and
- bending said longer longitudinal edge 90 degrees to the remainder of the rectangular piece of sheet steel and wrapping the remaining portion of the piece of spring steel around the 90-degree bent portion to form a substantially cylindrical shape having a G-shaped cross section.
- 5. A method of forming a tooth for a comminuter roll, including the steps of rolling a sheet of spring steel to a substantially G-shaped cross section and forming one end of said rolled spring steel into a point.
- 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the point-forming step is accomplished by cutting the end of the rolled spring steel at an acute angle.
