Stamping apparatus having a part-time draw bead

A stamping apparatus for stamping a blank, comprising:

• a lower die defining a drawing punch, the lower die including a land portion on opposite sides of the drawing punch that includes a stake bead that extends away from the land portion;
• a movable upper die including a cavity that corresponds to and is configured for receipt of the drawing punch with the blank therebetween as the movable upper die moves in a direction toward the lower die;
• and
• a binder that surrounds the lower die and is movable when contacted by the movable upper die;
• wherein the binder includes a draw bead extending in a direction of the movable upper die;
• wherein the draw bead is configured to grip the blank at a location proximate an edge of the blank during a first stage where the drawing punch is initially at least partially received within the cavity of the movable upper die and the upper die contacts the binder with the blank therebetween,
• wherein in a second stage where the drawing punch is further received within the cavity of the movable upper die and the edge of the blank is pulled in a direction toward the drawing punch, the draw bead is configured to disengage from the blank as the edge of the blank is pulled in the direction toward the drawing punch, and
• wherein either immediately after or simultaneously with the draw bead disengaging from the edge of the blank, the stake bead is configured to engage with the the blank and restrict further movement of the edge of the blank toward the drawing punch.
