Abstract

Forming rollers having a tooth tip concave portion at the tip of a tooth tip portion, a tooth bottom convex portion at a bottom of a tooth bottom portion and louver cutter at an oblique line portion between the tooth tip portion and the tooth bottom portion. A radius of an arc-shaped portion of the tooth tip concave portion at front side of rotational direction is set to be larger than a radius of an arc-shaped portion of the tooth tip concave portion at a rear side of the rotational direction. A radius of an apex portion of the tooth tip portion at the front side is set to be smaller than a radius of an apex portion of the tooth tip portion at the rear side and louver cutter at the oblique line portion is formed to have a predetermined interval from the apex portions of tooth tip portion. Therefore, flat folded portions having substantially the same curvature at both shoulder portions thereof horizontal are formed.
