Joggeln is a form of sheet metal processing for shaping of steel plates of a riveted hull.

Particulars

Until about the late 1950s, early 1960s, two steel plates were connected by riveting shipbuilding in general. It was often desirable to put a piece overlapping the other, so that on one side of the disc gangs emerges no shock.

To this end, one of the two plates to be joined was twice gejoggelt. The plate was briefly twice to adjacent bent almost at a right angle at the edge in the depth of the overlap by approximately the thickness of the plate and placed so that the overlap of the rear. The second steel plate was placed into the resulting plan recess and then riveted.

It was named the method after its British inventor joggling.
