  • Patent number: 7347077
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an outer ring member for a constant velocity joint, comprising the steps of forming a secondary molding by applying a preliminary upsetting to a work after applying a forward extrusion-molding to the work, forming intermediate pre-molded bodies having annular sloped surfaces formed thereon to have a difference in flow resistance between large diameter parts and small diameter parts by applying the upsetting to the upper part of the secondary molding, forming a quaternary molding having a cup part with track grooves by applying a backward extrusion-molding to the intermediate pre-molded bodies, and applying an ironing to the cup part of the quaternary molding to finish the quaternary molding to product dimensions.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4739644
    Abstract: A cup-shaped raw workpiece having a bottom panel and a cylindrically-shaped circumferential panel is positioned facing downwardly on a movable lower punch having a forming gear profile. The lower punch is provided in a die having an orifice portion which together with the gear profile defines an orifice. A resilient mechanism resists downward movement of the lower punch. An upper punch is lowered to hold the bottom panel of the workpiece against the lower punch and pushes the workpiece to extrusion form the inner surface thereof through the orifice. An escape groove for excess metal can be provided in the bottom inside corner of the workpiece at the juncture of the circumferential panel and the bottom panel. The lower punch can be provided with an upwardly extending protrusion near the outer circumferential edge of the upper end surface thereof which has an outer chamfered circumferential edge.
