1537564 Making pulleys; rolling; corrugating ASPRO Inc 13 May 1976 [23 July 1975] 19646/76 Headings B3A B3E and B3M [Also in Division F2] A method of making a one-piece multigroove sheet metal, V-pulley, Fig. 5, comprises the following steps: (a) forming a cup-shaped, sheet metal blank having a hub portion 2 with a generally cylindrical flange 4 terminating at its open end in an out-turned radial stiffening flange 5; (b) forming a series of V-shaped grooves having rounded valley- and crestportions 32, 33, Fig. 7, in the cylindrical flange 4 by outwardly and inwardly displacing portions of the flange wall; (c) axially compressing the V-groove formed flange wall to sinuous shape, Fig. 8; and (d) rolling the sinuously shaped flange wall to form V-shaped grooves 10, 13, 16, Fig. 9, therein with relatively sharp V-shaped crests 12, 15 and thickened valley walls 20. The cup-shaped blank is obtained in step (a) by drawing a sheet metal blank in a series of cup drawing dies in a press. Step (b) is performed in a lathe-type spinner in which the cup-shaped blank 30, Fig. 11, is clamped between headstock and tailstock dies 45 and 53 and rotated and a spinning roll 54 is moved radially inwardly into contact with the blank flange while die segments 50 are moved radially outwardly by a mandrel 48 moving in the direction of the arrow 52. Step (c) is carried out between upper and lower dies in an hydraulic press, Fig. 12 (not shown). The final step (d) is also performed in a lathe-type spinner, Fig. 13, in which the blank with its sinuously shaped flange is mounted on a headstock die 70, being centred and guided by a mandrel 73 and a tailstock die 74 is moved axially to clamp the blank. The dies and blanks are then rotated and a spinning roll 76 is moved radially inwardly into contact with the blank to produce the contour, form and metal displacement shown in Fig. 9. |
