A method for manufacturing a tear-off lid (27). A lid blank (9) is punched with a punching tool (1, 5) having a die (6) and a cutting punch (2, 3) to form a lid ring (8) with a central removal opening (17) surrounded by a sealing flange (18). The edge of the removal opening (17) is then formed by drawing to a collar (20) projecting from the sealing flange (18) on the intended inside of the lid (underside), the collar (20) is rolled up at its free end and a tear-off foil (24) is sealed or glued onto the sealing flange (18) on the intended outside of the lid (upper side).

In accordance with the invention, the die (6) is arranged on the inner side (bottom) of the lid and the cutting punch (2, 3) is moved into the die (6) from the outer side (top) of the lid while punching out a punched pad (16) and the punched pad (16) is conveyed by compressed air through the die (6) to a conveyor (33) by means of which it is removed from the tool area.

It has been shown that by this measure the known and established processes and devices for the production of tear-off lids can be modified with very little effort in such a way that during the punching of the lid blank (9) the punching or cutting pad is produced on the intended inner side (underside) of the produced lid ring (8), which is desirable when producing lids with “re-verse curl”.

A punching apparatus includes a punch holder and a punching tool. The punch holder includes a guiding body having a mounting cavity to slidably receive the punching tool and a driving assembly connected to the guiding body and provided with a beating element having first and second connecting ends coupled by a threaded coupling that enables a relative rotation for a linear movement of the punching tool with respect to the beating element. A stopping element has a first end fixed inside a connecting cavity in one of the connecting ends and arranged to receive the other connecting end and a second end inserted into a stopping cavity of the other connecting end and sliding inside the stopping cavity.

An outlet cutter for cutting an outlet opening in an eavestrough has a frame including a trough opening therein arranged to receive the eavestrough therethrough. A female die including a die opening is supported on the frame directly below the trough opening so as to be arranged to be located directly below an eavestrough received through the trough opening. A male die is supported on the frame so as to be movable relative to a female die between a disengaged position spaced above the female die and a punching position fully received within the die opening in the female die using a screw. The frame is self-supported on the eavestrough for sliding. The male die has four corner portions, each formed by two side cutting edges which are sloped downwardly and outwardly towards a respective apex, with two opposed apexes protruding beyond a remainder of the die.

The present invention relates to punching tool for mobile use, comprising a cylinder an adapter with fastening means attached thereto, the adapter being at least partially insertable into the cylinder at its first end optionally a spacer bushing, which has a receiving opening for the adapter and a lead-through for the fastening means, a die having a lead-through for the fastening means and a cavity, and a stamp which can be connected to the fastening means,
characterised in that optionally the spacer sleeve or the die is held to the cylinder by first magnetic means.

A rotary slide moves blanks cyclically from stage to stage of a cutting and processing tool. Work pieces are transferred in and out of the tool, without moving the slide in and out of the tool. The slide has a plurality of transfer openings and a discharge opening. Individual processing stages, including a discharge stage, are designed as separate components that support one another. The stages are arranged about a rotating axis of the slide. The transfer openings and the discharge opening lie in a circular path that coincides with circular paths of active elements of the cutting stage, the processing stages and the discharge stage. The openings have a distance from one another that is identical to the distance of the active elements in the circular paths.

To provide a stacking apparatus and a stack manufacturing system having high accuracy and productivity. A stacking apparatus 10 includes: a stage unit 4 on which a material to be stacked 90 is placed; a sandwiching member 11 that is vertically movable with respect to the stage unit 4, and between which and the stage unit 4 the material to be stacked 90 is sandwiched; a press member 13 that is vertically movable with respect to the sandwiching member 11 and presses the material to be stacked 90; and a guide pin 14 that guides a stack 91a pressed and stamped out of the material to be stacked 90 by the press member 13.

A press machine includes a frame, a press shaft, a lower mold support rotatably attached to the frame about a first axis line and configured to support a lower mold, a lower mold support rotating device configured to rotate the lower mold support about the first axis line, a scrap shooter configured to receive a scrap falling from the lower mold, and a link member one end part of which is rotatably coupled to the lower mold support about a second axis line, Wherein the scrap shooter has one end side rotatably coupled to the other end part of the link member about a third axis line, and has the other end side rotatably supported by the frame or another support member about a fourth axis line.
