Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A two-piece guide pin for metal forming dies includes a guide pin body formed from a cut length of an elongate, solid bar of stock having a cylindrical shape and a hard and smooth finished exterior surface with an outside diameter selected for close reception and reciprocal motion in an associated die bore. An alignment member is formed on a first end of the guide pin body. A guide pin head is formed from a cut length of an elongate, solid bar of stock having an outside diameter that is substantially greater than that of the guide pin body, and is rigidly connected with the second end of the guide pin body in a generally concentric relationship to define an enlarged head that positively limits travel between an associated die shoe and die pad.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is as follows: 1. In a method for making a metal forming die of the type having first and second die members mounted a spaced apart distance from one another for mutual reciprocation between converged and diverged positions, a biasing member disposed between the first and second die members for biasing the same to the diverged position, and at least one modular guided keeper assembly disposed between the first and second die members for precisely guiding and l…
