US Patent:

Filed:

Jun 13, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/538052

Inventors:

Harmon D. Nine - Fraser MI

Assignee:

General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI

International Classification:

B21D 2404

US Classification:

72350

Abstract:

A bead structure for die binders which is easily convertible into either a drawbead structure or a lockbead structure includes a bead on one die binder having a generally planar roughened outer wall, a groove in the other binder, and a bead insert which is removably secured in the groove and includes a base of semi-rigid material and a series of segments secured to the base and having roughened outer walls juxtaposed to the roughened outer wall of the bead and providing a lockbead structure therewith when the binders close against a sheet metal blank. When the bead insert is removed, the bead and groove provide a drawbead structure. The sheet metal blank slides through the groove and over the roughened outer wall of the bead since the shoulders of the bead have a radius less than the radius of bending of the blank as it passes over the bead.

Assignee:

General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI

International Classification:

B21D 2200

US Classification:

72350

Abstract:

Modular male and female drawbead structures comprise wafers of varying thickness which abut each other and are longitudinally wholly or partially aligned relative to each other in respective slots of die binders. The male structure has a body portion including a base wall and side walls which match and are spaced from like walls of a respective slot. A bead portion projects from an outer wall of the body portion and is joined thereby across concave shoulders. The female structure has a body portion including a base wall seating on the matching base wall of a respective slot and side walls which match and are spaced from like walls of a respective slot. A groove portion in the outer wall of the female module interfits with the bead portion and is joined to such outer wall by convex shoulders which match the concave shoulders. The male and female modules are releasably retained in their respective slots by side wall shims of semi-resilient material compressed between the side walls of the modules and the matching side walls of the respective slots. The male module is adjustable inwardly and outwardly of a respective slot by the use of a base wall shim of the same material as the side wall shims.
