【発明の名称】ビード付き缶端を形成するための方法及び装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2002528274
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A can end is formed from sheet material in a single acting press by blanking a workpiece and holding the workpiece between a blanking punch and a draw pad. The periphery of the workpiece is worked between a knockout and a crown ring to contour a crown. A bead punch advances into the workpiece to form a shell extending from the crown. The bead punch bottoms out on a bead die and collapses to a predetermined position to form a plurality of beads adjacent the shell by flowing a portion of the shell to form the beads while shortening the shell to less than specifications for the can end. The bead punch returns to an uncollapsed position during upstroke of the press to extend the shell to be within specifications. Apparatus for forming a can end in a press includes a fluidly supported die crown ring having an upper surface defining a can end crown contour. A knockout is aligned with the die crown ring for engaging a workpiece upon downstroke of the press to form a crown in the periphery of the workpiece. A punch, mounted to collapse against fluid pressure, forms a shell extending from the crown and presses the workpiece against a bead die to form a plurality of beads adjacent the shell. The punch collapses so that a portion of the shell flows to form the beads and returns to an uncollapsed position during upstroke to extend the shell to meet specifications.
