Patent ID: 7434443

Claim:
A compound press-forming apparatus including an upper die fixed to an elevated-side portion of a press machine that is moved up and down by an elevator, a lower die fixed to a fixed-side portion of the press machine, and working portions formed at respective corresponding portions of the upper and lower dies to conduct press working to a work jointly, comprising: a side-face working apparatus that is disposed at a side of said lower die on the fixed-side portion of the press machine to conduct side-face press working to a side-face portion of the work jointly with the lower die, wherein said side-face working apparatus comprises a rotating base that is supported on the fixed-side portion of the press machine so as to rotate thereon, a reciprocating base that is supported on said rotating base so as to reciprocate thereon, a side-face working portion that is formed at an end portion of said reciprocating base to conduct side-face press working to the side-face portion of the work jointly with said lower die, and reciprocating driving means for moving said reciprocating base with said side-face working portion from an original position, in which said side-face working portion is away from the work, to a side-face press working position, in which the side-face press working is conducted to the work by said side-face working portion, and said side-face working apparatus is constituted such that it moves to an avoidance position, in which the side-face working apparatus is not in the way of the upper die going up and down, during said press working by the upper and lower dies, whereas it moves to a working capable position, in which said side-face press working is capable, after the upper die goes up, during said side-face press working by the side-face working portion and the lower die.
