Abstract:
A hole punch assembly includes two locating features for forming holes in a trim piece overlying a metal sheet with ridges formed therein. One locating feature is a groove into which one of the ridges is insertable. The other locating feature is a portion of the outer surface configured such that, when one of the ridges in in the groove and the trim piece contacts the portion of the outer surface, a punch is positioned to form a hole in the trim piece.

Claim (Index 9):
A method of forming holes in a trim piece on a metal sheet that defines a plurality of ridges, the method comprising:\n obtaining a hole punch assembly; said hole punch assembly including a body having a first surface portion defining a groove and a second surface portion generally perpendicular to the first surface portion, and a punch operatively connected to the body and movable between a retracted position and an extended position; positioning the hole punch assembly relative to the metal sheet such that one of the ridges is at least partially within the groove and the trim piece contacts the second surface portion; and causing the punch to move from the retracted position to the extended position and thereby form a hole in the trim piece.
