Claim 1
Independent Claim
191 words
In a stamping device in which a U-shaped frame has a rest position and has a matrix therein and a moveable punch therein spaced from the matrix, said frame adapted to receive a workpiece to be punched and being moveable from said rest position in the direction of the line of action of the punch to engage the matrix with one side of the workpiece while the punch advances in the frame in the opposite direction to carry out a punching operation on the workpiece, and spring means biasing on said frame toward said rest position, the improvement which comprises; a rod connected at one end to the frame and extending therefrom in the direction of movement of said frame, said spring means comprising a pair of springs axially disposed on the rod, inner counterbearings slidable on the rod at the ends of the springs nearest each other, outer counterbearings fixed to the rod at the other ends of the springs, a stationary member between said inner counterbearings and engaging both thereof in the rest position of said frame, and an abutment membeR fixed to said rod between said inner counterbearings.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
