Patent ID: 7765847

Claim:
A modular pressure module for use with die strippers in a press, consisting essential of: a rectangular top plate; a rectangular transfer plate spaced from said top plate; four connecting members extending between said plates, each connecting member being fixedly connected proximate to a separate corner of said top plate and passing through a corresponding corner of said transfer plate, wherein said transfer plate may move along at least a portion of the length of said connecting members, wherein in a first uncompressed orientation said transfer plate is disposed against an end stop on at least one of said connecting members to define an uncompressed distance between said plates; and at least one resilient clastomeric member having an uncompressed height substantially equal to said uncompressed distance between said plates and being disposed between said top plate and said transfer plate in an area within said four connecting members, where in a second compressed orientation, said transfer plate is disposed along the connecting members and compresses said resilient clastomeric member, wherein a distance between at least two of said connecting members is greater than a width of said resilient elastomeric member allowing said resilient clastomeric member to be removed from or inserted between said plates when said plates are in said first uncompressed orientation.
