  • Patent number: 4064726
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing pressure pots having a rim with bayonet cams on its undersurface includes a spinning operation to fold over the rim and to simultaneously form the bayonet cams. More specifically, the pot is held inside a chuck having an annular cam profile facing the underside of the rim and spinning rollers engage the upper face of the rim and fold over the rim increasing its thickness and forcing the metal in the rim to comform to the cam profile. The rim is confined on its radially outward side by an axially shiftable retaining ring and is confined on its radially inward side by a counterholder cylinder. After folding over of the rim, the upper face of the rim is formed by machining or the like which may remove the metal between adjacent bayonet cams.
