Abstract
Apparatus for production of a re-entrant article, such as a vehicle mud guard, comprising a frame on which is mounted a pair of freely movable trolleys, on each of which are grasping means for holding the respective opposite ends of a sheet to be worked. The trolleys are movable towards one another, in a horizontal plane and hold the sheet parallel to this plane. A former is mounted under the sheet and is raised to cause it to move across the plane to deform the sheet into its required re-entrant form.
