  • Patent number: 8661867
    Abstract: In the metal billet to be used for hot dilation forming, a forward side with respect to the pressing direction has a quadrate section and its diagonal length is not more than an inner diameter of a container. Moreover, a backward side with respect to the pressing direction has a circular section and its diameter is substantially same as the inner diameter of the container. The metal billet is heated to a temperature suitable for press working and is set into a container for press forming. While a center of a workpiece of the metal billet is being bored by a boring punch to be operated by a pressing machine, the metal billet is hot-dilated so that a bottomed container for a cask is formed.

  • Patent number: 5066184
    Abstract: A packed can is seamed by clamping a can body and a lid between a lifter and a chuck, rotationally driving the entire assembly while applying a compression force thereto, and pressing a groove portion of a roll from the outside to an edge portion of the lid to deform such edge portion. Seaming is effected by pressing the groove portion of the roll to the edge portion of the lid with the rotary axis of the roll maintained inclined with respect to the rotary axis of the chuck.

  • Patent number: 4722211
    Abstract: A method of roll forming hollow parts comprises introducing a workpiece into the space between a plurality of rolls rotatably arranged in spaced and parallel relationship, in parallel with the axes of the rolls, imparting rotation to the workpiece from drives through either the rolls or flanges disposed at both ends of the workpiece, at the same time forcing mandrels, slidably fitted at ends in the central openings of the flanges, through the openings into the workpiece, longitudinally from the both ends thereof, toward each other, and removing the excess metal left in the midportion of the workpiece between the mandrels by slightly moving the rolls toward each other for added compression, thereby producing spaces between the mandrels and the workpiece, and by moving the mandrels axially together with the excess metal to separate the latter from the rest of the workpiece.
