Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for forming a pulley having at least two grooves from a cup-shaped metal blank having an axially extending sidewall. The blank is rotated about its longitudinal axis and is crushed between axially closing dies. As the blank is being crushed, a rough forming roll is translated radially into contact with the outer periphery of the cup and applies forming pressure at at least two axially spaced zones. A finish forming roll is radially aligned with the rough forming roll and is translated radially toward the outer periphery of the cup. The rough and finish forming rolls are carried by cam-actuated slide assemblies arranged to move the rough roll into the blank wall in advance of the finish roll in a working operation so as to partially form a pulley groove and to maintain the finish roll in the partially formed groove during an idling operation.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for forming a pulley having at least two grooves from a cup-shaped metal blank having an axially extending sidewall. The blank is rotated about its longitudinal axis and is crushed between axially closing dies. As the blank is being crushed, an inner forming roll positioned within the cup is translated radially away from the longitudinal axis of the cup and into contact with the inner periphery of the cup. A rough forming roll is translated radially into contact with the outer periphery of the cup and applies forming pressure at a location radially offset from the area of contact of the inner forming roll. A finish forming roll is radially aligned with the rough forming roll and is translated radially toward the outer periphery of the cup.

Abstract: A fork lift truck having an improved arrangement providing convenient access to the engine compartment alone or to both the engine and drive train compartments. A shroud covers the engine and the drive train and a portion of the shroud is pivotally connected to the truck chassis so that the engine and drive train may be exposed for maintenance by lifting the shroud portion. A hatch, which comprises a part of the pivotal shroud portion, is pivotally connected to the chassis so that the hatch may be raised to expose only the engine for maintenance.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for forming a pulley having at least two grooves from a cup-shaped blank having an axially extending sidewall. The blank is crushed between axially closing dies and as the blank is being crushed, at least two rolls are translated radially into contact with the outer surface of the blank sidewall while the blank is rotated to form at least two annular pulley grooves in the sidewall of the blank. During such translation, a forming roll positioned between the axially closing dies and within the cup is radially shifted away from the longitudinal axis of the cup and into contact with the inner sidewall thereof to form a land between pulley groove pairs.
