Abstract:
1. A method of producing a partitioned column segment, the method comprising the steps of: providing a first sheet metal segment, a second sheet metal segment, and a third sheet metal segment; wherein said first sheet metal segment comprises a first edge, and a second edge, wherein said second sheet metal segment comprises a third edge, and a fourth edge, wherein said third sheet metal segment comprises a fifth edge, and an sixth edge, wherein said second edge is attached to said third edge, wherein said fourth edge is attached to said fifth edge, forming said first segment into a first arcuate bend in a first direction, wherein adjacent to said first edge comprises a first distal region; forming said second segment into a z-shaped bend, wherein said z-shape consists of a first proximate region, a central region, and a second proximate region; forming said third segment into a second arcuate bend in a second direction, wherein adjacent to said sixth edge comprises a second distal region; attaching said first distal region to said second proximate region, thereby producing a first cylindrical segment, said first cylindrical segment having an semi-circular cross-section; and attaching said second distal region to said first proximate region, thereby producing a second cylindrical segment, said second cylindrical segment having an semi-circular cross-section.
