  • Publication number: 20020157514
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cutting mold set of metal tubes, comprising of the following: a cutting mold unit that moves in relation to a lower mold unit is installed on one side of an upper mold unit, the upper mold unit is capable of moving in relation to a lower mold unit. On the cutting mold unit is installed a first mold block with a cutting hole, and on the lower mold unit is installed a second mold block with a through hole, the cutting hole and the through hole matching and communicating with each other. With the metal tube inserted inside the through hole and the cutting hole, when the upper mold unit and the cutting mold move toward the lower mold unit, the cutting hole and the through hole move in relation to each other to create a cutting force to cut the metal tube, thereby achieving the objectives of speedy and safe operation, enhancing safety in cutting operation, and reducing waste iron scraps.

  • Patent number: 6128991
    Abstract: A punch and die device for working such as punching of a pipe material is disclosed, of which internal die means can easily be inserted into a pipe material even if an open end of the pipe material to be worked has burrs inward extending therefrom, and in which it is easily detected whether the internal die means is pushed toward a lateral side or lateral sides of the pipe material and thereby firmly held. The punch and die device for working a pipe material comprises: external punch means located outside a pipe material P, and internal die means K inserted in the pipe material for cooperation with a punch 30 of the external punch means to work the pipe material P; the internal die means K being divided into two parts in a direction orthogonal to that of reciprocating motion of the punch 30 of the external punch means, one 1 of the parts having working function and the other 2 having no working function, the non-working part 2 being forward and backward movable in the opening direction, i. e.

  • Patent number: 5896796
    Abstract: A device for punching holes in a bicycle rim includes a flange extending radially from a base, the flange having a plurality of rails disposed thereon each for a puncher slidably disposed thereon. Each of the punchers has a first block and a second block respectively extending upwardly from two ends thereof and a cylinder disposed longitudinally to each of the first blocks having a shaft retractably extending therefrom which extends through the first block and has a pin member disposed on a free end thereof. Each of the second blocks has a longitudinal hole defined therethrough so that when a bicycle rim is disposed between the first blocks and the second blocks each of the pin members punches a hole through the rim.

  • Patent number: 5406870
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for cutting tubing in which uncut tubing is fed over punches connected to an arbor extending the length of a machine from a cutting head. The cutting head includes dies operative with the punches to cut the tubing into tubing pieces. Lengths of tubing are received by a carriage and cut into the tubing pieces. The carriage is capable of detecting the leading edge of the tubing and the trailing edge of the tubing. The lengths of tubing and tubing pieces have a unidirectional material flow to the end of the apparatus.

  • Patent number: 5331873
    Abstract: An improved tank configuration wherein a die is employed to stamp a formed member is disclosed. The formed member may be used as either the top or bottom head for a portable liquid container, and is constructed so that all welding is eliminated in the corner and outlet portions of the container. A trim machine is employed to remove uneven edges from the formed part. By the present invention, a stamped configuration is provided in which a draw formed tank bottom is formed so as to allow complete and full drainage of the tank bottom. The top and bottom heads are finish trimmed to exact dimensions so as to facilitate the assembly of these parts to the shell of the tank.

  • Patent number: 4991478
    Abstract: The excess covering material is trimmed from a workpiece using a blade assembly having side by side blade segments with cutting edges aligned with the contour to be cut. A rubber roller applies a longitudinal cutting force to the blade segments in sequential fashion by rolling across the blade segments ends opposite the cutting ends. The blade segments are returned to the noncutting position by a tension wire threaded through a notch in the shaft of each of the blade segments. Cutting pressure is adequate to cut through at least three layers of covering material without scoring the substrate. The rubber roller provides certain resiliency which helps control the cutting pressure.
