Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a press-molded article includes: projecting an inner pad, provided at an apex portion of a punch, from the punch toward a side of a die, and disposing a metal sheet blank on the inner pad; and projecting a die pad, provided at the die, from the die toward a side of the punch to dispose the die pad at a position separated from the inner pad by a predetermined distance that is greater than a plate thickness of the metal sheet blank; forming a side walls by moving the die toward the punch side relative to the die pad, the inner pad, and the punch, and integrating the die pad with the die; and forming a top plate by moving the die and the die pad, which have been integrated, and the inner pad, toward the punch side relative to the punch.

Claim (Index 13):
A press apparatus, comprising:\n a punch that includes an apex portion intersecting a pressing direction, an inner pad housing portion formed at the apex portion, punch shoulders provided at both sides of the apex portion, and punch wall faces extending from the respective punch shoulders; an inner pad that includes an inner pad apex face intersecting the pressing direction, that is housed in the inner pad housing portion, and that is movable in the pressing direction; a first coupling device that couples the inner pad and the punch together, and that modifies a spacing in the pressing direction between the inner pad and the punch; a die that includes a die bottom opposing the apex portion, a die pad housing portion formed at the die bottom, bottom corners provided at both sides of the die bottom so as to correspond to the punch shoulders, and die cavity wall faces extending from each of the bottom corners so as to correspond to the punch wall faces; a die pad that includes an inner pad-opposing face opposing the inner pad apex face, that is housed in the die pad housing portion, and that is movable in the pressing direction; a second coupling device that couples the die pad and the die together, and that modifies a spacing in the pressing direction between the die pad and the die; a moving device that moves the die relatively toward the punch side; and a stopper projecting in the pressing direction that is provided at one of the inner pad apex face or the inner pad-opposing face via an extension-retraction mechanism that extends and retracts in the pressing direction, wherein: an actuation force of the moving device, a retention force in the pressing direction of the extension-retraction mechanism, a retention force of the first coupling device, and a retention force of the second coupling device have a relationship that is either: the actuation force of the moving device>the retention force in the pressing direction of the extension-retraction mechanism>the retention force of the first coupling device>the retention force of the second coupling device; or the actuation force of the moving device>the retention force of the first coupling device>the retention force in the pressing direction of the extension-retraction mechanism>the retention force of the second coupling device.
