Abstract

See full text

A method is disclosed for roll forming the face pattern onto a pattern forming die having a pattern receiving face, using an initial, and subsequent, pattern forming tool, each with a generally cylindrical pattern defining surface, by relatively and sequentially reciprocating and rotating the pattern defining surfaces and the pattern receiving face while engaging them and urging them to impress the pattern of the pattern defining surfaces into the pattern receiving face of the forming die blank. An apparatus for performing the process is disclosed which includes a platen for the pattern forming die, initial and subsequent pattern forming tools each having a generally cylindrical pattern defining surface, a drive mechanism for relatively and sequentially reciprocating and rotating the pattern defining surfaces and the pattern receiving face of the forming die blank, and relative movement mechanism for engaging the surfaces to impress the pattern of the pattern defining surfaces of the pattern forming tools into the pattern receiving face of the forming die blank.
