Patent ID: 7877881

Claim:
A scribing system comprising: (A) means for rotating an elongated object having a long dimension in such a manner that the elongated object is subjected to a bow effect wherein a middle portion of the elongated object bends relative to a first and a second end portion of the elongated object; (B) means for scribing the elongated object at a position x along the long dimension of the elongated object, while the means for rotating rotates the elongated object and thereby subjects said elongated object to said bow effect; and (C) means for generating force connected to the means for scribing so that the means for scribing applies the same constant force to the elongated object regardless of the position x along the long dimension of the elongated object that the means for scribing is positioned, while the means for rotating rotates the elongated object and thereby subjects said elongated object to said bow effect, thereby scribing the elongated object.
