  • Patent number: 11426781
    Abstract: A forming method of a disk-shaped member in which a plate formed into a disk shape and a protruded flange protruding from an outer periphery of the plate are integrally formed, includes: forming a preformed body from a plate member by a press forming, the preformed body having a protrusion in an outer periphery of the plate, the protrusion having a width larger than a width of the flange; and forming the flange by cutting and removing an outer peripheral surface side of the protrusion to punch the preformed body from the plate member in a state where a mold is in contact with an inner peripheral surface of the protrusion and a portion connected to a root of the protrusion.

  • Patent number: 11059397
    Abstract: A recliner according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a plate-shaped ratchet, at least one pawl, a plate-shaped guide member, and a ratchet seating portion. The ratchet seating portion is provided on the guide member to be positioned on an inner peripheral side of a second flange and between two guide walls adjacent to each other in a circumferential direction on the guide member. The ratchet seating portion protrudes toward the first flange of the ratchet and is configured to come into sliding contact with a tip of the first flange.

  • Patent number: 10974302
    Abstract: Provided is a manufacturing method for a cylindrical portion in a cylindrical shape protruding in a plate thickness direction of a plate-like portion made of metal, the cylindrical portion being formed integrally with the plate-like portion. The manufacturing method uses a manufacturing device including: a first metal mold provided with an inner circumferential surface that comes in contact with an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical portion; a second metal mold coming in contact with a protruding tip of the cylindrical portion; and a third metal mold coming into press contact with a workpiece toward a side of the second metal mold. The third metal mold is displaced toward the side of the second metal mold and a portion of the workpiece undergoes plastic flow toward the inner circumferential surface, whereby the portion that underwent the plastic flow comes into press contact with the inner circumferential surface.

  • Publication number: 20200290106
    Abstract: A stamping method includes: punching out a product from a workpiece by using a die on which the conveyed workpiece is placed, a punch, and a back pressure portion; displacing the workpiece upward with respect to the die when the punch moves away from the die; before the product is punched out, providing a protrusion that protrudes downward and is located at a part of the workpiece, the part being on the upstream side in a workpiece conveying direction of a punch-out portion and aligned with the punch-out portion; and using the protrusion, which is displaced downstream in the conveying direction together with the workpiece, to push the product downstream in the conveying direction, so that the product is ejected to the outside.

  • Publication number: 20200290107
    Abstract: A stamping apparatus includes a die, a punch, a back-pressure device, a lift-up mechanism, and a delay device. A workpiece is mounted on the die. The punch is arranged to approach and recede from the die and configured to punch out a product from the workpiece. The back-pressure device includes a pushing member disposed in the die and urges the pushing member toward the punch to apply back pressure to the workpiece. The lift-up mechanism is configured to lift the workpiece above the die when the punch recedes from the die. The delay device is configured to delay lifting movement of the pushing member in relation to receding movement of the punch when the punch recedes from the die.
