Otherwise, provided is a hinge apparatus which connects a microphone and a earphone of a portable telephone.

Abstract: A punching tool for a press, includes a punch guide having a stripper plate at a lower end thereof. A punch body is formed with a blade portion at a lower end thereof and disposed within the punch guide for up and down movement. A punch driver includes a piston rod fixed to the punch body. A gas spring section has a gas cylinder, the piston rod of the punch driver extending through the gas cylinder for up and down movement. A high pressure gas is contained in the gas cylinder to bias the punch driver upward, and an annular elastic member is interposed between an upper surface of the punch guide and a lower surface of the gas cylinder of the gas spring section to absorb shock generated when the stripper plate attached to the punch guide collides against work during a punching process. The punching tool can reduce noise generated during punching processing and further can prevent a punching mark (scar) from being formed on the surface of the punched work.

The gaseous spring is cylindrical and fitted on the punch body detachably, and includes a device for restricting a maximum length of the gaseous spring.

Abstract: In a punching tool having a punch body (23), a punch driver (33) integral with the punch body, a punch head (45) disposed over the punch driver and struck by a striker (59), a punch guide (15) for guiding the punch body, a stripper plate (17) disposed under the punch guide, and a stripping spring (51) interposed between the punch guide (15) and the punch driver (33), the punching tool further includes a first damping member (39) interposed between the punch guide (15) and the punch driver (33) so as to be elastically deformable within a predetermined deflection value. Owing to the presence of the first damping member (39), it is possible to reduce noise generated when the punch body (23) is returned upward by a strong urging force of the stripping spring (51) after work has been punched, thus reducing overall noise generated during punching processing.

Abstract: A stripper device for a punching tool comprises: a gas cylinder (5) filled with a gas (7) having a cylinder head (27) and a cylinder end (17) attached to a lower end of the cylinder head airtightly; and a piston (9) having a punch head (11) and a piston rod (15); an axial movement restricting member (13, 201) for restricting an axial movement of the piston in the gas cylinder filled with the gas; and a rotational movement restricting members (31; 205, 203) for restricting a rotational movement of the piston in the cylinder body. A stripping force of the stripper device can be obtained by a resilient force generated whenever the gas is compressed by the piston within the gas cylinder for each punching operation. The punch assembly enables plate material of various thicknesses to be punched out without generating stripping miss.
