Patent number: 11400505Abstract: A press tooling includes a distance member pivotably supported by a holder; and a moving device provided on a first die unit. The holder is provided in a movable manner with respect to a punch in a press direction, and a pad is provided in a movable manner with respect to a die in the press direction. The distance member is pivotable between a home position in which the distance member does not come into contact with the second die and a preventive position in which the distance between the pad and the holder in the press direction is prevented from being equal to or less than a predetermined distance. As the holder moves relative to the punch in the first direction, the moving device causes the distance member to pivot from the home position toward the preventive position.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2018Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: NIPPON STEEL CORPORATIONInventors: Kazunori Oooka, Toshimitsu Aso, Hiroshi Yoshida, Daisuke Yasufuku, Yasuharu Tanaka, Takashi Miyagi, Junichiro Suzuki, Shinobu Yamamoto
