Abstract:
A core cap is formed from a one-piece sheet metal blank in which an inner cylindrical sleeve is formed and a reverse-fold outer sleeve determining a bight therebetween, and a recess is gradually formed by stamping in the bight and the inner sleeve so as to provide a keyway with parallel side walls symmetrically parallel with the axis of the inner sleeve.
Abstract:
A method of forming a container body having a profiled bottom in a continuous operation wherein the body is formed from a blank of material into an inverted cup, the cup is reverse drawn and a preliminary profile is imparted to the bottom of the cup, and a final profile is imparted. The apparatus includes a die cut edge movable into telescoping relationship around a redraw die to form the inverted cup and a profile punch movable into telescoping relationship within the redraw die to form the preliminary profile against a profile pad. The profile pad is selectively supported by a pair of fluidly actuated pistons whereby, upon activation of the second piston, the final profile may be formed.
Abstract:
A process for forming an improved deep drawn and ironed metal shell for use as a pressure vessel having selectively controlled wall thicknesses to impart additional strength to predetermined portions of the improved metal shell. A stepped mandrel is utilized in conjunction with at least one ironing die to fabricate the improved metal shell.
Abstract:
An apparatus for reverse redrawing of a cup is provided with an annular ring surrounding the upper end periphery of body portion of a die ring, provided concentrically with the die ring, a slightly larger clearance than the wall thickness of the cup to be redrawn being provided between the inside surface of the annular ring and the outside surface of the die ring.
Abstract:
An axle body is made by extruding a blank for forward extruding a neck portion and backward extruding a hollow shell portion, a transition zone is also produced by forward extrusion; the resulting shell portion is rolled into a nonround cross section, of, possibly, different wall thickness; two such shell portions are welded at their respective ends.
Abstract:
A diaphragm adapted for use in a positive expulsion tank is subjected to a pre-rolling operation prior to installation within a tank in order to provide for improved diaphragm rolling characteristics during a subsequent expulsion operation.
Abstract:
Container forming press comprised of a combined punch, drawing die, and stripper means for effecting the formation of and ejection of a container from the press during a full cycling of the same. The press further includes an improved electrofluidic control system connected to the punch and drawing die means which operates to detect malformed containers and to stop the apparatus so that the malformed containers can be removed.
