Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
A punch mounting assembly and ram for use with a nut forming machine or the like comprising: a cylindrical bore formed in said ram; a semi-cylindrical seat rotatably mounted in said bore; means defining a semi-cylindrical cavity in said seat; the diameter of said semi-cylindrical cavity being less than that of said seat, the axes of said cavity and seat being essentially parallel but not coincident whereby said seat is crescent shaped in cross-section; a cylindrical punch holder mounted in said cavity, and means for mounting a punch on said punch holder on an axis essentially parallel to but non-coincident with said axes of said cavity and seat whereby said punch may be adjusted in said ram within a plane normal to the axes of said cavity and seat by independent rotation of said seat and said cylindrical punch holder.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
140 words
A punch mounting assembly and ram for use with a nut forming machine or the like comprising: a cylindrical bore formed in said ram; a semi-cylindrical seat rotatably mounted in said bore; means defining a semi-cylindrical cavity in said seat; the diameter of said semi-cylindrical cavity being less than that of said seat, the axes of said cavity and seat being essentially parallel but not coincident whereby said seat is crescent shaped in cross-section; a cylindrical punch holder mounted in said cavity, and means for mounting a punch on said punch holder on an axis essentially parallel to but non-coincident with said axes of said cavity and seat whereby said punch may be adjusted in said ram within a plane normal to the axes of said cavity and seat by independent rotation of said seat and said cylindrical punch holder.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
The punch mounting assembly as claimed in claim 1 wherein said semi-cylindrical seat is mounted within a lower half of said cylindrical bore in said ram.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
