Patent number: 7513180Abstract: A cutting device for a thin metallic plate is provided which shortens time for shaping or the like on a cut edge to improve manufacturing efficiency, and increases the life of a cutter. The cutting device for cutting a thin metallic plate W with a predetermined width includes a shearing cutter 7 which is made of a metal having a higher hardness than the thin plate W and has a blade angle of 50 to 90°. A contacting member 5 is provided which includes a groove 8 facing the shearing cutter 7 and makes contact with the back side of the thin plate W. In the groove 8, an interval a between upper edges 9a and 9b of inner walls 9 is set at 15 to 30 times a thickness b of the thin plate W. A depth c of a deepest portion 11 in the groove 8 is set at one to three times the thickness b of the thin plate W. The inner walls 9 of the groove 8 include curved surfaces 10, each of which has a curvature radius of 15 to 50 times the thickness b of the thin plate.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2004Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshiyuki Minowa, Fumitaka Haga, Takeshi Yoshimura, Yuichi Nagao, Takeyuki Fujiyama, Taro Nakamura

Patent number: 6055838Abstract: A forge-molding method for forming a constant velocity joint outer ring comprising a shaft and a cup formed integral with and expanding radially and outwardly from one end of the shaft is provided. The method uses an ironing die apparatus which is provided with a lower molding die, an upper molding die and an ironing punch. The lower molding die is provided with a first cavity formed to have a final degree of product accuracy with respect to the shaft and adapted to apply a final ironing process to the shaft, while the upper molding die is provided with a second cavity for restraining the outer peripheral surface of the cup. Consequently, the accuracy of concentricity between the shaft and the cup can be securely maintained in a simple manner and a sufficient degree of accuracy of the inner peripheral surface and/or the inner diameter of the cup can be effectively secured.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1998Date of Patent: May 2, 2000Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tsukashi Ohama, Tomonori Nakamura, Mikio Kobayashi, Yuichi Nagao, Yoshihisa Doi

Patent number: 5511450Abstract: A forming die is composed of a die member and a reinforcing member for applying compressive forces radially inwardly to the die member. To manufacture the forming die, tensile stresses applied to elements divided from the die member are simulated, and a fracture region of the die member is specified based on the simulated tensile stresses. An inner circumferential configuration of the reinforcing ring, or an outer circumferential configuration of the die member is determined for cooperation with the die member or the reinforcing ring in producing compressive stresses in the die member to counteract tensile stresses in the fracture region. The reinforcing ring with the inner circumferential configuration or the die member with the outer circumferential configuration is formed, and either the reinforcing ring with the inner circumferential configuration is over the die member, or the reinforcing ring is fitted over the die member with the outer circumferential configuration.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1994Date of Patent: April 30, 1996Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Yuichi Nagao
