Method And Apparatus For Forming Parts From A Continuous Stock Material And Associated Forge
US Patent:
6739171, May 25, 2004
Filed:
Sep 17, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/953746
Inventors:
Ronald R. Biederman - West Hartford CT

Assignee:
Black Decker, Inc. - Newark DE
International Classification:
B21D 4300
US Classification:
7240506, 338361, 338402
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for forming a plurality of parts, such as spade-type boring bits, from a continuous stock material. Thus, the various steps of the forming method of the present invention can be performed to predetermined portions of the continuous stock material prior to separating the continuous stock material into discrete parts, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the forming process. The present invention also provides an improved forge for forming portions of the continuous stock material into parts having a predetermined shape. The forge can be designed to provide a clearance region proximate the forward end of the ram to permit slight flexing of the forward end of the ram in a radially outward direction during forging operations. The forge can also include a lubrication system for lubricating its various components. In addition, the forge can incrementally rotate the ram after one or more parts have been forged.
Method And Apparatus For Forming Parts Of A Predetermined Shape From A Continuous Stock Material

International Classification:
B23B 5100, B23P 2300
US Classification:
29558
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for forming a plurality of parts, such as spade-type boring bits, from a continuous stock material. Thus, the various steps of the forming method of the present invention can be performed to predetermined portions of the continuous stock material, prior to separating the continuous stock material into a number of discrete parts. The efficiency of the forming process is enhanced since individual parts need not be individually transported and oriented during the forming operations. By not requiring that the individual parts be separately transported and oriented during the forming operations, the quality of the parts formed by the forming method and apparatus of the present invention will also be enhanced since such separate transportation and orientation of individual parts generally increases the opportunities for misalignment and contributes to poor tolerance control during the manufacturing process.
