Abstract
This invention relates to apparatus adaptable for use on a double acting press for producing high reduction metallic cups of high quality. The double acting press is provided with a crankshaft having a pair of offset cranks for attachment to the outer punch holder and the redraw horn assembly to produce a time lag between the operation of the outer punch holder and the redraw horn assembly. The high reduction cupping apparatus comprises a housing having an opening extending vertically therethrough, a redraw horn assembly centrally mounted in the housing for reciprocation therein, a pair of vertically disposed redraw cushion cylinders positioned within and in the upper portion of the housing, said redraw cushion cylinder surrounding the upper portion of the redraw horn assembly, a cushion piston movably carried in each cushion cylinder, said redraw cushion pistons being in engagement with each other for cumulative pressure effects, a cylindrical drawn horn and pressure sleeve fitting around the redraw horn assembly and having its upper portion engageable by the lower redraw cushion piston, a pair of vertically displaced pressure ring cylinders positioned within the housing and aroun…
