Machine With Pneumatic Stripping
US Patent:
4280353, Jul 28, 1981
Filed:
Jun 25, 1979
Appl. No.:
6/051574
Inventors:
Kelly J. Murphy - Boulder CO
Assignee:
Ball Corporation - Muncie IN
International Classification:
B21D 4500
US Classification:
72345
Abstract:
The present invention is related to pneumatic stripping for use with metal forming machines, including neckers, that are used in the production of thin shell vessels such as beverage cans (60). In prior art devices, pneumatic stripping has been advantageously used for removing a beverage can (60) from the punch portion (18) of a die set (16); but this use of compressed air has been accompanied by objectionably high noise levels. The present invention provides an expansion chamber (50), that is formed by a recess (48) in an end (30) of the punch (18) and that reduces the noise level of pneumatic stripping. Principle uses include noise reduction on machines that are used to inwardly dome the bottom of beverage cans and on machines that are used to neck down the open ends of beverage cans.
