Abstract
Abstract A punching device includes a fixed frame adapted to support punch means in alignment with a ram. An assembly of the punch, a guide and stripping sleeve and a stripping spring is removable as a unit and such assembly includes means by which such assembly is retained together, especially during handling away from the frame of the punching device. To this end, the punch has a radial opening, such as a circumferential groove, in which there is disposed a friction member, such as of plastic, which has an interference fit with the interior of the stripping sleeve.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
A punching device comprising: a. a frame having a lower arm on which a die is supported, and an upper arm having a vertical bore aligned therewith; b. a punch guide and stripper sleeve slidably disposed in the bore in said upper arm; c. a punch having a body slidably diposed in said sleeve, said body having a radially opening recess therein directed toward the interior of said sleeve; d. a stripping spring acting between said sleeve and said punch to urge the lower end of said punch into said sleeve; e. a friction member, carried by said body, disposed in said body recess and having a sliding frictional fit with the interior wall of said sleeve greater than that which the punch body inherently has; and f. a lifting spring acting between said sleeve and said upper arm and urging said sleeve away from said die.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
147 words
A punching device comprising: a. a frame having a lower arm on which a die is supported, and an upper arm having a vertical bore aligned therewith; b. a punch guide and stripper sleeve slidably disposed in the bore in said upper arm; c. a punch having a body slidably diposed in said sleeve, said body having a radially opening recess therein directed toward the interior of said sleeve; d. a stripping spring acting between said sleeve and said punch to urge the lower end of said punch into said sleeve; e. a friction member, carried by said body, disposed in said body recess and having a sliding frictional fit with the interior wall of said sleeve greater than that which the punch body inherently has; and f. a lifting spring acting between said sleeve and said upper arm and urging said sleeve away from said die.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
A punching device according to claim 1 in which said recess is an annular groove.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
A punching device according to claim 1 in which said friction member comprises a yieldable plastic material that has an interference fit with said sleeve, as related to the free form of the friction member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
54 words
A punching device according to claim 1 in which said punch includes a set of screw threads on the upper end of said body portion, and a head adjustably carried thereon against which said stripping spring acts, the radial depth of said recess being no greater than the radial depth of said screw threads.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
A punching device according to claim 2 in which said frictional member is a cylindrical sleeve.
