Abstract
A die head for a roll imprinting machine for the imprinting of edges of grooves performed in a valve core for a rotary valve for use in a power steering gear, the die head supporting a circular cluster of radially disposed rolling die holders, each die holder carrying at an inner end an arcuate imprinting die and being mounted for partial rotation on a transversely extending axle, partial rotation of all said die holders being effected synchronously by action on each die holder at a position on the idle holder more remote from the inner end of the die holder than the position of the axle and a valve core locator arranged to locate and hold the valve core at the center of the cluster for roll imprinting by the imprinting dies in a synchronous relationship and apparatus for actuating the die head including a number of racks, one for each die holder, supported for reciprocating motion in engagement with sectors of gear teeth formed on the die holders, a work spindle extending along the central axis of the cluster and, a valve core holder, the racks, the work spindle and the valve core holder being reciprocated in coordinated motions according to a predetermined relationship.
