Description
~11392:1~
This invention relates to a novel punch to be used with a draw punch for metal removal. Prior art, such as disclosed in U.S. Patent 2,237,069 shows a draw punch having a die with a bolt axially aligned and threadedly engaged with a cutting head and a nut, such tha-t as the nut is turned, the cutting head is uryed to cut a slug of rnetal that is the same size as the inner diame-ter of the recessed portion of the die. Moreover, United States Patents 1,817,223, 2,221,904 and 3,269,011 show a typical metal punch and die means.
According to the present invention there is provided a male punch member adapted to be used with a cooperating female member to remove a slug in two pieces from a work piece, the male punch member having a body with an axial bore extending longitudinally therethrough for receiving means for moving the body inwardly and outwardly with respect to the female member. The body has cutting means at one end thereof, the cutting means being comprised of a pair of inclined surfaces disposed around the bore and sloping upwardly in opposite directions from one another. The inclined surfaces each have a cutting edge on the entire edge of the outermost portions thereof, each inclined surface termina-ting at an uppermost end in a rib member extending laterally across the surface from the cutting edge to the bore and upwardly from the surface at the uppermost end. The rib members together ~- form lateral cu-ttiny means extending across the one end of , the body except for thc bore so that the cutting edges of the outermost portions cut the outer slug periphery and ~139~ 3L6 the rib members cut across ~he slug to slit it into two pieces when the male member is forced inwardly of the female member with the work piece therebetween.
The unique design of the punch or cutting head provides easier removal of the slugs in that the slug is split into two pieces.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Eiy. 1 is a top view of the punch or cutting head;
Fig. 2 is a general side elevational view of -the punch or cutter head;
Fig. 3 is a general side oblique view of the punch, shown in the direction of the arrow --3, in Figure 2;
Fig~ 4 is another general side view of the punch, shown in the direction of the arrow --4 in Figure 2.
DESCRIPTION OF T~E INVENTION
In the draw punch or cutter head illustrated in the drawing and described in detail herein, the die that is mated with the cutting head is not unique, in that it is a typical female die comprising a cylinder with one end closed and a recess comprising an inner diameter extending throughout almost -the length of the die. The closed end of the cylindrical die includes a bore which is aligned with the threaded bore of the cutting head or punch. In particular, the invention relates to a cut-ting head 10, typically called a male punch, having a threaded bore 15 axially aligned throughout its longitudinal length. The outer diameter 20 of the cutting head 10 is adap-ted -to fit the inner diameter of a female die, not shown. The cutting head 10 comprises a plurality of helical or inclined ~39Z~
surfaces 25, 25' with respect to the top surface of rib members 30 and 30l, as clearly shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 4.
Each inclined surface 25, 25' covers the semi-circular portion of the cutting head 10, and is symmetrical as viewed from the top of the tool in Eig. 1. In other words one inclined surface 25 is one-half of a single pitch screw or thread and the other inclined surface 25' is also one-half of a sinyle pitch screw or thread. Each uppermost portion of the inclined surfaces 2S, 25l end at the ribs 30, 30' respectively. The diameter of ribs 30 and 30' is the same diametral size as the cutting head, and is disjoined at the center by the diameter of bore 15.
In other words, the ribs 30 and 30l extend diametrically from one edge 45 of the cutting head 10 to the other edge 45', except for the bore 15. Each rib 30, 30' has two uppermost lateral faces 35 and 40, 40' respectively.
Lateral face 35 meets the uppermost radius juncture 47 of the inclined surface 25 whereas lateral face 40 meets ~the lowermost radius juncture 471 of inclined surface 25, 25l.
The preferred embodiment of the drawing shows a pair of inclined surfaces 25 and rib 30, 30' at the radius juncture 47, 471 of each inclined surface, for the purpose to be described herein.
In operation, the male punch is placed opposite the female die member (not shown) with a metallic member to be cut in between both punch members. A bolt Inot shown) is inserted through the bore of the female die (not shown) and through the hole of the metallic member previously drilled therethrough to allow such bolt to be inserted ~39216 therein and threaded onto the threaded portion 15 of the punch die lO. A nut or other device is then adapted to squeeze together the male punch or cutting head and the female die. As the male punch is progressively moved against the metal, edge 45 cuts the diametral hole, and the diametral ribs 30, 30' separating each inclined surface 25, 25' is adapted to cu-t the metallic slug into two pieces. It is therefore apparent that the metallic slug that is cut out of the metal is split into two pieces by virtue of the ribs 30, 30' that is at the uppermost radius juncture 47 of the inclined or helical surfaces 25, 25' and the diameter of the metallic slug is cut by the edge 45, 45'. The radius juncture 47 is formed between the inclined surfaces 25, 25' and the lateral faces 40, 40' to provide strength and rigidity to the punchO
A preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described herein and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by way of example. However, it is to be understood that numerous modifications thereof may be made without departing from the broad spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Each inclined surface 25, 25' covers the semi-circular portion of the cutting head 10, and is symmetrical as viewed from the top of the tool in Eig. 1. In other words one inclined surface 25 is one-half of a single pitch screw or thread and the other inclined surface 25' is also one-half of a sinyle pitch screw or thread.

The diameter of ribs 30 and 30' is the same diametral size as the cutting head, and is disjoined at the center by the diameter of bore 15.
In other words, the ribs 30 and 30l extend diametrically from one edge 45 of the cutting head 10 to the other edge 45', except for the bore 15. Each rib 30, 30' has two uppermost lateral faces 35 and 40, 40' respectively.
Lateral face 35 meets the uppermost radius juncture 47 of the inclined surface 25 whereas lateral face 40 meets ~the lowermost radius juncture 471 of inclined surface 25, 25l.
The preferred embodiment of the drawing shows a pair of inclined surfaces 25 and rib 30, 30' at the radius juncture 47, 471 of each inclined surface, for the purpose to be described herein.
In operation, the male punch is placed opposite the female die member (not shown) with a metallic member to be cut in between both punch members. A bolt Inot shown) is inserted through the bore of the female die (not shown) and through the hole of the metallic member previously drilled therethrough to allow such bolt to be inserted ~39216 therein and threaded onto the threaded portion 15 of the punch die lO. A nut or other device is then adapted to squeeze together the male punch or cutting head and the female die. As the male punch is progressively moved against the metal, edge 45 cuts the diametral hole, and the diametral ribs 30, 30' separating each inclined surface 25, 25' is adapted to cu-t the metallic slug into two pieces.

The radius juncture 47 is formed between the inclined surfaces 25, 25' and the lateral faces 40, 40' to provide strength and rigidity to the punchO
