A cleaning apparatus for removing foreign matters from workpieces in the form of strips or sheets cut from a larger blank, before the workpiece is subjected to a press forming operation, which apparatus includes a feeding device for feeding the successive workpieces, de-oiling rolls disposed in an upstream portion of a feed path of the workpieces as seen in a feeding direction and rotated in pressing rolling contact with the surfaces of each workpiece as each workpiece is fed, so as to remove by absorption oily substances from the surfaces of the workpiece, and tacky rolls disposed downstream of the de-oiling rolls as seen in the feeding direction and rotated in pressing rolling contact with the surfaces of the workpiece, so as to remove by tackiness thereof the foreign matters from the surfaces of the workpiece.

Apparatus for cleaning strips before press forming, having de-oiling

The present invention relates to a differential device for vehicles in which the differential casing is split into two casing portions including a left casing portion through which the left axle shaft runs and a right casing portion through which the right axle shaft runs, the two casing portions and the ring gear being joined together by electron beam welding after various devices are assembled into the differential casing, whereby assembly of various devices in the differential casing is facilitated; the differential casing and the ring gear being lightened by removal of redundant mass; the pinion shaft support in the differential casing being strengthened; and the pinion shaft being integrally fixed to the differential casing, thereby spreading the load and preventing slippage out of the pinion shaft.
