Abstract
Abstract An extrusion press having a press stem which can be articulated to a limited extent at its base mounting in order to allow the stem to be exactly aligned with a billet containing bore; a centering sleeve provided at one end of the bore to guide the stem; and corresponding convex and concave surfaces at the base mounting which can slide over one another to permit the articulation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
An extrusion press for direct extrusion with shell, comprising a billet container, a billet containing bore in the billet container, a displaceable cross-head movable towards and away from the billet container, a press stem mounted in the displaceable cross-head and movable along the billet containing bore spaced from the walls thereof when the cross-head is displaced towards and away from the bore, means mounted on the billet container and separate and distinct therefrom for centering the press stem as it moves along said bore, and means articulately mounting said press stem for relative movement to and in the displaceable cross-head.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
An extrusion press for direct extrusion with shell, comprising a billet container, a billet containing bore in the billet container, a displaceable cross-head movable towards and away from the billet container, a press stem mounted in the displaceable cross-head and movable along the billet containing bore spaced from the walls thereof when the cross-head is displaced towards and away from the bore, means mounted on the billet container and separate and distinct therefrom for centering the press stem as it moves along said bore, and means articulately mounting said press stem for relative movement to and in the displaceable cross-head.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
An extrusion press as claimed in claim 1, and further comprising a pressure plate arranged between the press stem and the cross-head and having a convex surface, and wherein the cross-head includes a thrust plate with a concave surface for mating with said convex surface to form said articulate mounting means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
45 words
An extrusion press as claimed in claim 2, further including a retaining ring on the cross-head, a flange on the press stem and biasing means arranged between the retaining ring and the flange to bias said convex and concave surfaces into contact with each other.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
44 words
An extrusion press as claimed in claim 1, wherein said means for centering the press stem comprise a centering sleeve mounted in the bore of the billet container, said sleeve being provided with a chamfer for the purpose of inserting it in the bore.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
An extrusion press as claimed in claim 4 and including spring means for urging the centering sleeve against the billet container.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
An extrusion press as claimed in claim 1, wherein the means for centering the press stem comprises a slipper conforming to the shape of the press stem, and a slipper holder for locating the said slipper.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
An extrusion press as claimed in claim 6, wherein the slipper holder is radially adjustable relative to said billet containing bore.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
An extrusion press as claimed in claim 6, comprising three slippers located in slipper holders mutually angularly spaced by 120°.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
88 words
An extrusion press for indirect extrusion with shell, comprising a counter platen, a billet container movable towards and away from the counter platen, a billet containing bore in the billet container, a press stem mounted at one end in the counter platen and movable along the billet containing bore spaced from the walls thereof, means mounted on the billet container and separate and distinct therefrom for centering the press stem as it moves along the said bore, and means articulately mounting said press stem in the counter platen.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
88 words
An extrusion press for indirect extrusion with shell, comprising a counter platen, a billet container movable towards and away from the counter platen, a billet containing bore in the billet container, a press stem mounted at one end in the counter platen and movable along the billet containing bore spaced from the walls thereof, means mounted on the billet container and separate and distinct therefrom for centering the press stem as it moves along the said bore, and means articulately mounting said press stem in the counter platen.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
52 words
An extrusion press as claimed in claim 9, and further comprising a pressure plate arranged between the stem and the counter platen and having a convex surface, and wherein the counter platen includes a thrust plate with a concave surface for mating with said convex surface to form said articulately mounting means.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
46 words
An extrusion press as claimed in claim 10, further including a retaining ring on the counter platen, a flange on the press stem and biasing means arranged between the retaining ring and the flange to bias said convex and concave surfaces into contact with each other.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
44 words
An extrusion press as claimed in claim 9, wherein said means for centering the press stem comprises a centering sleeve mounted in the bore of the billet container, said sleeve being provided with a chamfer for the purpose of inserting it in the bore.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
21 words
An extrusion press as claimed in claim 12 and including spring means for urging the centering sleeve against the billet holder.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
36 words
An extrusion press as claimed in claim 9, wherein the means for centering the press stem comprise a slipper conforming to the shape of the press stem, and a slipper holder for locating the said slipper.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
21 words
An extrusion press as claimed in claim 14, wherein the slipper holder is radially adjustable relative to said billet containing bore.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
