Abstract

A tool for stamping annular blanks to form retainers for truncated spherical members in a single stroke stamping operation comprises a sectored punch having at least one pair of diametrically opposed sectors of a cylinder separated from one another at their apexes such that the sectors of two punches can be intermated. The distal ends of the sectors are spherically contoured such that alternating spherical surfaces are formed on the inside surface of the retainers by two intermating sectored punches. The sectored punches form alternating cylindrical and spherical surfaces into the upper and lower portions of a blank to form the retainer. The cylindrical surfaces permit spherical members to be inserted into the retainers by hand or with the use of hand tools.
