Abstract: 994,770. Stamping. CINCINNATI MILLING MACHINE CO. April 3, 1964 [Aug. 16, 1963], No. 13965/64. Heading B3Q. A fluid-pressure stamping press comprises a sleeve 13 movable telescopically on a stationary head 11, 11a, a rubber diaphragm 17 enclosing a pressure chamber 19 into which oil may be introduced or evacuated through an opening 22, and a partition 37, 38 dividing the chamber into two sections 19a, 19b, of which the lower section 19b remains unaffected by expansion of the upper section as the sleeve 13 is lowered. The two parts 37, 38 of the partition are clamped to a split-ring 35 lodged in a groove 36 in the sleeve 13. Passages 40, 42 through the partition are closed by oppositely-directed reliefvalves 41, 43 which do not open during descent of the sleeve. In the raised position, Fig. 1, bolts 44 in the head 11a hold valves 41 open so that oil from a reservoir 20 enters both sections 19a, 19b. Guides 12 for the sleeve 13 extend between the head 11 and a table 10 supporting the work 24. The sleeve is operated by pistons 15 connected to a valve 16 supplied by a pump 50. After the disphragm 17 has engaged the work, a valve 23 between the reservoir 20 and opening 22 is closed, and a pump 58 is connected through a valve 62 to supply oil under pressure to a second passage 55 in the head. This pressure opens the valves 41 in the partition, allowing the oil to enter both sections of the chamber. A valve 29 is then operated to supply a cylinder 27 for raising a lower die 26 which deforms the work against the diaphragm, Fig. 4 (not shown). During this stage valve 43 opens, allowing escape of oil from the lower to the upper section of the chamber, and from the upper chamber-section to a reservoir 51 via a release valve 60. After the work is formed, valve 62 is operated to interrupt the supply to the chamber 19, and valve 23 is opened, after which the sleeve is raised, returning oil to the reservoir 20.
