Abstract
Abstract A blanking die comprises a relatively thin die plate having a cutout into which the punch of the press, upon blanking operation, forces the material to be cut to form the required part blank. A holder of sturdy construction is provided onto which the thin die plate is removably mounted. Slidably positioned within the holder is a reciprocating support block which, upon blanking operation, underlies the thin die plate in order to reinforce it against the impact of the punch. After the blanking cycle, the support block is moved either to eject the part blank or to allow the latter to fall through an opening in the holder.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
167 words
A blanking die holder for supporting a relatively thin die plate into which a punch of a press forces material during blanking of parts blanks, said die holder comprising: a housing including a bottom and upstanding walls, said walls defining a circular opening which receives and supports said thin die plate, said wall having an inwardly extending lip and inwardly extending set screws, said lip and set screws extending into said circular opening to engage a radially inwardly extended cutout and circumferentially spaced indentations, respectively on said die plate which is disk shaped; a slidable support block, said support block being cyclically movable into a space within said housing defined by said die plate, walls, and bottom, said support block underlying said thin die plate to support said die plate during blanking of the parts; and an opening in the bottom of said housing to allow gravitational removal of the parts blanks upon the movement of said support block out of said space under said die plate.
