Claims6
An apparatus for producing a continuous length of wrapping post material having a series of equally spaced weakened portions therealong, said apparatus comprising a work holding means having an aperture for receiving a length of said material, a plurality of sets of swaging means slidably mounted to said holding means for forming said equally spaced weakened portions on said material, said swaging means are equally spaced about said aperture, a pressure means rotatably mounted to said holding means for sequentially operating said plurality of sets of swaging means to deform said material one set at a time, said pressure means includes a plurality of sets of camming means corresponding to said plurality of sets of swaging means wherein members of said sets of camming means are equally spaced about said aperture and said sets of camming means are unequally spaced relative to each other about said aperture to produce a sequential operation of said sets of swaging means.
