Abstract (en)

A process of making a ring-shaped metal latch plate 10 having an internal ratchet teeth 20 arranged around an inner periphery thereof with the use of a punch 30 provided with a toothed forging edge 31 for shaping the internal ratchet teeth and a pilot 32 formed axially forwardly of the toothed edge. Firstly with this process, a metal plate 11 is formed to have a prepared hole 12. Then, the punch 30 is placed to register the pilot 32 with the prepared hole 12 for engaging the said toothed forging edge 31 with a peripheral portion 13 of the prepared hole 12. Thereafter, the toothed forging edge 31 is driven to extrude the peripheral portion 13 by cold-forging in order to shape the internal ratchet teeth 20 around the prepared hole. <IMAGE>
