SLIDING EJECTOR PAD ATTACHMENT FOR USE WITH SLIDING BOLSTER PLATE FOR PRESSES

摘要

This disclosure relates to an ejector pad attachment for use with a sliding bolster plate of a press and permits a movable die member carried by a sliding bolster plate to have constantly associated therewith a supporting ejector pad while at the same time permitting the movable die member and ejector pad to move as is required during the operation of the press. The ejector pad is carried by the bolster plate for movement therewith and there is provided at the work station a platen assembly which is cooperable with the ejector pad to resiliently resist the displacement of the ejector pad and an associated die member during a work forming operation and thereafter return the movable die member and ejector pad to their original positions prior to the retraction of the bolster plate.
