Abstract:
A stacked package of angle plates for use in association with a device for assembling individual ones of said angle plates into receptive flanges of HVAC duct sections is disclosed. A strap zone is defined as a portion of the stacked package located proximate to the apex of each of the angle plates, preferably from the apex to a point approximately 25% along the length of each of the legs. A single tensioned strap is placed extending around each of the angle plates in the stacked package and is located within the strap zone. The strap exerts a sufficient amount of tension to restrain each of the angle plates within the stacked package, and is preferably four foot-pounds.

Claim (Index 1):
A stacked package of angle plates for use in association with a device for assembling individual ones of said angle plates into receptive flanges of HVAC duct sections, comprising:\n a plurality of angle plates, each having two legs joined at an apex forming a right angle, forming said stacked package whereby said legs of each of said ones of said angle plates within said stacked package are substantially aligned with all other ones of said angle plates within said stacked package; a strap zone located proximate to said apex of each of said angle plates from said apex to a point 25% along the length of each of said legs; a single tensioned strap extending around each of said angle plates in said stacked package, said strap located within said strap zone and exerting a preselected amount of tension sufficient to restrain each of said individual ones of said angle plates within said stacked package, facilitating the handling of said stacked package of angle plates as a unified whole for insertion within a supply hopper of said device for assembling individual ones of said angle plates into receptive flanges of HVAC duct sections.
