Folding apparatus for folding sheet metal component of vehicle structure, has support roller that is supported when folding connecting leg at inner legs by secondary inclined peripheral surface portion opposite to transition region

摘要

The apparatus (1) has folding bed (3) is supported when folding outer leg (17) of U-shaped folding pocket (16) of component (2). A folding roller (5) is supported when folding inner leg (18) by peripheral surface (20). A support roller (6) is supported when folding connecting leg (19) by primary peripheral surface portion (21) to connect outer leg with inner leg. The support roller is supported when folding connecting leg at inner legs by secondary inclined peripheral surface portion opposite to transition region (23) relative to primary peripheral surface portion. An independent claim is included for method for folding sheet metal component of vehicle structure.
