Abstract:
A guided keeper assembly includes a base, at least one marginal fastener aperture to detachably mount the base to an associated die shoe, and a central guide aperture. A guide pin is closely received in the central aperture of the base. A first end of the guide pin has an enlarged head to positively limit travel between the die shoe and die pad, and an opposite second end with a generally flat terminal shoulder configured for close reception in a blind hole in the die pad. The shoulder has a fastener aperture at a location spaced radially offset from the central axis of the guide pin. A fastener extends through the fastener aperture in the die pad and engages in the fastener aperture in the second end of the guide pin to securely, yet detachably, connect the second end portion of the guide pin with the die pad.

Claim (Index 16):
A guided keeper for a metal forming die of the type having a die shoe, a die pad mounted a spaced apart distance from the die shoe for reciprocation between converged and diverged positions, and a biasing member disposed between the die shoe and the die pad for biasing the same to the diverged position, comprising:\n a base having a mounting face shaped to abut an adjacent face of the die shoe, at least one fastener aperture extending axially through a marginal portion of the base for detachably mounting the base to the die shoe, and a guide pin aperture extending through a portion of said base; a guide pin having a first end portion thereof with an enlarged head shaped to abut said base to positively limit travel between the die shoe and the die pad, and a body portion for close reception in said guide pin aperture of said base and a second end portion disposed opposite said first end portion with a generally flat, terminal shoulder for close reception in a hole in the die pad to precisely locate the second end portion of the guide pin in the die pad, said terminal shoulder having a single fastener aperture extending perpendicularly therethrough and into said second end portion thereof at a location spaced offset from the center of said body portion of said guide pin; a first fastener extending through said fastener aperture in said base and engaging the same in an associated fastener aperture in the die shoe to securely, yet detachably, mount said base to the die shoe; and a second fastener extending through an associated fastener aperture in the die pad and engaging the same in said fastener aperture in said second end portion of said guide pin to securely, yet detachably, connect said second end portion of said guide pin with the die pad.
