Abstract

Insertion die tooling for the installation of a flange into a drum end embossment according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a stationary work station constructed and arranged to receive an internally-threaded metal flange and a portion of a metal drum end, the metal drum end being formed with an embossment to be positioned over the metal flange and a movable pressure unit including a closing collet constructed and arranged with a plurality of collet segments, a punch holder attached to a closing ring, and a pilot that is constructed and arranged to be movable with movement of the punch holder, the pilot including a frustoconical portion constructed and arranged for engagement with the embossment for forming a tapered inner drum end wall adjacent an inner surface of the flange.

Claims (16)

1. Insertion die tooling for the installation of a flange into a drum end embossment, said insertion die tooling comprising:

a stationary work station constructed and arranged to receive an internally-threaded metal flange and a portion of a metal drum end, said metal drum end being formed with an embossment to be positioned over said metal flange; and

an axially movable pressure unit including a closing collet constructed and arranged with a plurality of collet segments, a punch holder attached to a closing ring and a pilot that is constructed and arranged to be movable with movement of said punch holder, said pilot including a frustoconical surface constructed and arranged for contacting said embossment for forming an inner drum end wall adjacent an inner surface of said flange.

2. The insertion die tooling of claim 1 wherein said pilot includes an axial centerline and said stationary work station is constructed and arranged for centering said flange on said axial centerline.

3. The insertion die tooling of claim 1 wherein said movable pressure unit further includes a plurality of springs that are constructed and arranged to assist in movement of said plurality of collet segments.

4. Insertion die tooling for the installation of a flange into a drum end embossment, said insertion die tooling comprising:

a stationary work station constructed and arranged to receive an internally-threaded metal flange and a portion of a metal drum end, said metal drum end being formed with an embossment to be positioned over said metal flange; and

an axially movable pressure unit including a closing collet member, a punch holder attached to a closing ring and a pilot that is constructed and arranged to be movable with movement of said punch holder, said pilot including a frustoconical surface constructed and arranged for contacting said embossment with said embossment for forming an inner drum end wall adjacent an inner surface of said flange.

5. The insertion die tooling of claim 4 wherein said pilot includes an axial centerline and said stationary work station is constructed and arranged for centering said flange on said axial centerline.

6. The insertion die tooling of claim 4 wherein said movable pressure unit further includes a plurality of springs that are constructed and arranged to assist in movement of said collet member.

7. Insertion die tooling for the installation of a flange into a drum end embossment, said insertion die tooling comprising:

a work station constructed and arranged to receive an internally-threaded metal flange and a portion of a metal drum end, said metal drum end being formed with an embossment to be positioned over said metal flange; and

an axially movable pressure unit including a closing collet member, a punch holder attached to a closing ring and a pilot that is constructed and arranged to be movable with movement of said punch holder, said pilot including frustoconical surface constructed and arranged for contacting said embossment for forming an inner drum end wall adjacent an inner surface of said flange.

8. The insertion die tooling of claim 7 wherein said pilot includes an axial centerline and said work station being constructed and arranged for centering said flange on said axial centerline.

9. The insertion die tooling of claim 7 wherein said pressure unit further includes a plurality of springs that are constructed and arranged to assist in movement of said plurality of collet member.

10. The insertion die tooling of claim 9 wherein said collet member includes a plurality of collet segments.
