Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of making cutting dies to be use in working on sheet material and is preferably designed, though not necessarily, for the production of a limited number of pun-chings of an irregular outline.
  • a method of making a device for punching sheet metal comprises the steps of cutting an opening in a die block having the contour of the desired punching and then bending blade means in strip form to make cutting edges and fitting them around the inside of the opening of the die block.
  • a smaller block of the same contour is pressed thereafter into the space enclosed by the blades, a punch plate is fastened to a base plate and the cutting edges of the blades are pressed into the punch plate to mark off the desired contour thereon.
  • the marked punch plate is then removed from the base plate and trimmed to the marked outline of the contour and finally the trimmed punch plate is fastened to the base plate.
  • Material as for instance plastic material, is then poured in its liquid state into the space defined by the top face of the center piece and the layers of spacing material to form a punch member of a contour complementary to the center piece, the difference in size between the punch member and the center piece being determined by the thickness of the sheet material to be punched.
  • the punch member and the clamped blade means are mounted on oppositely disposed supporting members to operate as male and female die members, respectivley.
  • It is another object of the present invention to provide a method of making cutting dies which comprises the steps of cutting out of a block a center piece having an inner and outer contour, respectively, of the article to be punched out of material, whereupon preferably steel sections are fitted around the center piece and the latter is reassembled in the block with the steel sections projecting from the block and retained therebetween.
  • a releasing substance is applied, preferably by spraying, to the inside of the projecting portions of the steel sections, in order to permit removal of the male body poured into the block.
  • Material as for instance plastic material, is then poured in its liquid state int-o the space defined by the top face of the center piece and the steel sections to form a center 3,228,2fi3 Patented Jan.
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective exploded view of a wood block and its complementary center piece
  • FlG. 2 is a top perspective view of the wood block, the center piece being reinserted, together with tool steel sections;
  • FIG. 3 is a top perspective view of the wood block with its center piece and the tool steel sections therebetween, and a punch molded therein;
  • FIG. 4 is a section along the lines 44 of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 5 is a top perspective view of the molded punch upon removal thereof from the blade means and surrounded by a frame;
  • FIG. 6 is a section along the lines 6-6 of FIG. 5;
  • FIG. 7 is a section, similar to that of FIG. 6, of the frame after pouring material into the frame surrounding the molded punch;
  • FIG. 8 is a top perspective view of the female mold after removing the molded punch therefrom;
  • FIG. 9 is a section along the lines 9-9 of FIG. 8;
  • FIG. 10 is a top perspective view of the female mold indicating schematically the pouring of tool steel in its liquid state into the female mold;
  • FIG. 11 is a top perspective view of the tool steel punch
  • FIG. 12 is a top perspective view of the male punch member mounted on a press plate
  • FIG. 13 is a bottom perspective View of the female die member mounted on a press plate.
  • FIG. 14 is a section along the lines 1414 of FIG. 12 indicating the alignment and cooperation of the male punch member with the female punch member.
  • the present method provides at first the production of a provisional male punch member, as well as a female die member, and the provisional male punch member is used, as set forth below in greater detail, for the production of the tool steel male punch member, which permits for practical purposes an unlimited number of stampings.
  • the method according to the present invention provides at first a wood block 1 on which the outline of the shape to be punched out of sheet material, bars, flat stock, or the like is marked.
  • a centerpiece 2 is then cut out from the wood block 1 along the marked lines and removed from the wood block 1.
  • Tool steel sections 3 are fitted to the side faces of the centerpiece 2, whereupon the centerpiece 2 is inserted again into the wood block 1 together with the tool steel sections 3.
  • a saw blade (not shown) for cutting out the centerpiece 2, which saw blade has a thickness equivalent to that of the steel sections 3, or the saw blade may have lesser thickess, in which case by example a press fit or any other suitable means can be used.
  • the tool steel sections 3 Upon reassembling the centerpiece 2 with the tool steel sections 3 into the wood block 1, the tool steel sections 3 project above the top face of the wood block 1 and the centerpiece 2, respectively, and this assembled unit is used to produce an intermediate or provisional complementary male punch member 5.
  • a releasing substance is applied, preferably by spraying to the inside of the projecting portions of the steel sections, in order to permit removal of the male body poured into the block.
  • the production of the intermediate male punch member is brought about by pouring a suitable material, which may be an alloy, a plastic or any other suitable material having characteristics, which makes it suitable for the present purpose, on top of the centerpiece 2, whereby the tool steel sections 3 constitute the lateral limitations during the pouring of the material.
  • the internal shapes thus formed in the mold may be used as transfer means.
  • the intermediate male punch member may solidify at room temperature or at a lower or higher temperature, depending upon the desired speed of curing.
  • the intermediate male punch member 5 is placed into a frame 6 which surround the member 5.
  • terial of wax sheeting, steel stripping, cold poured ceramic, fiber glass, or any other suitable material is applied to the outer faces of the provisional punch member 5, in order to provide die clearance as well as allowance of shrinkage and substantially the same material used for pouring in the forming of the provisional male punch member 5 is also used for the pouring of an intermediate female die member 8, as clearly shown in FIGS. 7, 8' and 9.
  • the male punch member 5 is removed therefrom.
  • the female die member 8 is used as a mold for producing the final male punch member 10 which is formed by pouring tool steel in its liquid state, as schematically shown in FIG. 10, where the liquid tool steel is poured from a ladle 11, to obtain the male punch member 10, as shown in FIG. 11.
  • a releasing substance may be applied to the inner faces of the female die member 8, yet such substance can be dispensed With.
  • FIGS. 12 to 14 disclose the mounting of the male punch member 10 and the female die member 1, for instance in a press 12.
  • the male punch member 10 is preferably mounted on a steel plate 13.
  • the female die 1 with the tool steel sections 3 is also preferably mounted on a plate 14 and opposite the male punch member.
  • a thin layer 7 of spacing mascope of the present invention being determined by the object-s and the claims.
  • a method of making cutting dies comprising the 5 steps of cutting out of a block a centerpiece having the inner and outer contour of an article to be punched out of fiat material, fitting tool steel sections around said centerpiece and reassembling said centerpiece in said block with said tool steel sections projecting from said block and retained therebetween to form a first female die member, pouring material in its liquid state into the space defined by the top face of said centerpiece and said tool steel sections to form a first punch member of a contour complementary to said centerpiece, surrounding said first punch member by a frame, pouring material into the space defined between said frame and said first punch member, to produce a second female die member, pouring tool steel in its liquid state into said second female die member to produce a second male punch member, removing said second male punch member from said second female die member.
  • the method as set forth in claim 1, which includes the step of applying a layer of spacing material, of a thickness 4 complementary to the desired die clearance related to the thickness of the material to be worked, as well as allowance of shinkage, to the outer face of said first punch member. 6.
  • the method as set forth in claim 1, which includes the step of mounting said second male punch member and one of said female die members in opposite arrangement for the punching operation.
