Patent number: 10898941Abstract: An alignment assembly for a press assembly is provided. The alignment assembly includes a number of alignment elements. The alignment elements include a number of moving alignment elements. The moving alignment elements are coupled to an upper tooling assembly that moves between a first and second position. As the upper tooling assembly moves, the moving alignment elements move between a first position and a second position corresponding to the upper tooling assembly first position and a second position. The moving alignment elements are structured to move the shell from the initial alignment position to an intermediate alignment position. Thus, as the upper tooling assembly moves from the first position to the second position, the moving alignment elements contact a shell and move the shell from an initial alignment position to an intermediate alignment position.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2019Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Stolle Machinery Company, LLCInventors: Aaron Emmanuel Carstens, James Ardel McClung, Paul L. Ripple, Edward E. Donaldson
