Patent ID: 8211348

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a cylindrical member having anti-slip projections formed on at least one of opposite axial end faces, the method comprising the following steps of: employing a roller die having an integral tapered outside peripheral face as a die face, which is provided with a circumferential die groove of annular form extending continuously in a circumferential direction through a medial section in a generatrix direction of the die face, and with a plurality of sloping die grooves arrayed along the circumferential direction and extending in a direction of taper of sections of the die face situated respectively to both a large-diameter side and a small-diameter side of the circumferential die groove; providing plastic working to the axial end face of the cylindrical member using the roller die with the small-diameter side of the roller die facing towards an inner peripheral side of the cylindrical member and with the large-diameter side facing towards an outer peripheral side of the cylindrical member, by pushing the die face of the roller die against the axial end face of the cylindrical member while rotating in the circumferential direction; and forming simultaneously on the axial end face of the cylindrical member an annular water barrier projection that projects axially outward and extends in a circumferential direction in a diametrical medial section thereof, and a plurality of the anti-slip projections of projecting form extending in a diametrical direction to both an inner peripheral side and an outer peripheral side of the annular water barrier projection and arrayed in a spokewise pattern overall in the circumferential direction.
