Shin Toyokawa has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10543521
    Abstract: Disclosed is a press forming method press forming a workpiece between a die and a punch, while pushing the punch into the die by means of a relative motion of the die and the punch, the method includes: producing an intermediate molding (100B) having ridges (100d) formed in predetermined parts of the workpiece, and then press forming the intermediate molding (100B) into a final shape, to thereby substantially thicken and work-harden the predetermined parts of the workpiece.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 1, 2016
    Date of Patent: January 28, 2020
    Assignee: NIPPON STEEL CORPORATION
    Inventors: Shigeru Yonemura, Akihiro Uenishi, Shin Toyokawa, Takuya Kuwayama, Takashi Ariga
  • Patent number: 10262086
    Abstract: An analyzing apparatus generates first displacement distribution data indicating a displacement distribution of a member caused by springback based on finite element model data, material physical property data, and stress distribution data; generates second displacement distribution data indicating an amount of displacement of the member in each of a plurality of, for example, all, natural vibration deformation modes based on the finite element model data and the material physical property data; obtains a degree of coincidence between the first displacement distribution data and each of the second displacement distribution data, and selects one or more natural vibration deformation modes based on the degree of coincidence, to determine a modified shape in which natural vibrations are increased, thereby bringing the member closer to a target shape.
