Abstract:
A draw pad reduces instances and the extent of earing when a blank of metal is clamped and punched during a drawing process that results in the formation a cup-shaped body from the blank A draw pad for a cupping press includes an inner surface that defines a draw aperture that is configured to receive a punch. The draw pad also includes a clamping surface that has a first force concentrating segment disposed circumferentially spaced apart from a second force concentrating segment, where each force concentrating segment includes a first arcuate groove and a second arcuate groove that is disposed concentric and radially spaced apart from the first arcuate groove.

Claim (Index 44):
A method for reducing earing in a drawn cup, comprising:\n positioning a sheet of metal between a draw pad and a blank-and-draw die; clamping the sheet of metal between the draw pad and the blank-and-draw die by contacting a clamping surface of the draw pad to a portion of the sheet of metal, wherein the clamping surface has four force concentrating segments each circumferentially equally spaced apart from an adjacent force concentrating segment, wherein each force concentrating segment comprises a first arcuate groove and a second arcuate groove disposed concentric and radially spaced apart from the first arcuate groove; shearing the sheet of metal to create a blank having a disk shape; and directing a punch to displace a portion of the blank into a die cavity and forming the blank between the punch and the blank-and-draw die into a cup-like shape.
