20090266824 | CAN END - A beverage can end is described. The beverage can end has a curl defining a perimeter of the can end, a chuckwall extending downwardly and radially inwardly from the curl, and a transition wall joining the chuckwall to an outer peripheral edge of a center panel. The transition wall is formed in compression such that a portion of the transition wall exhibits a compressed segment having a thickness which is 1% to 20% thicker than a thickness of the center panel. | 10-29-2009 |
20090269169 | CAN END - In a method of forming a beverage can end wherein a beverage can end shell has a curl defining a perimeter of the can end, a chuckwall extending downwardly and radially inwardly from the curl, a generally U-shaped countersink joining the chuckwall to an outer peripheral edge of a center panel, a method of forming an arcuate chuckwall in the beverage can end shell is described. The method of forming the arcuate chuckwall comprises the steps of providing a partially formed can end, providing an upper tooling having an annular, generally arcuate segment, and providing a lower tooling having a circumferential, generally arcuate, outwardly convex segment in at least partial alignment with the annular, generally arcuate segment of the upper tooling. The annular, generally arcuate segment of the upper tooling and the circumferential, generally arcuate, outwardly convex segment of the lower tooling are brought into engagement with a public side and a product side of the partially formed can end, respectively. A portion of the partially formed can end is reformed to form a circumferential, generally arcuate, outwardly convex segment located between an upper bend in the can end having a center of curvature above a public side of the can end and a lower bend in the partially formed can end having a center of curvature below the public side of the partially formed can end. | 10-29-2009 |
20100251799 | TOOLING POD FOR DOUBLE ACTION CAN END PRESS - A double action tooling press apparatus for forming a beverage can lid has a longitudinal axis, an inner tooling assembly, and an outer tooling assembly. The inner tooling assembly is positioned about the longitudinal axis and has a downwardly extending stem. The stem has an upper segment having a free end and a separate lower segment having a proximal end. The proximal end is in operative communication with, but is not joined to, the lower free end of the upper segment. An opposing distal end is joined to a punch core tool. The outer tooling assembly is positioned about the longitudinal axis and has a passageway through which a portion of the stem passes, a chamber in which the proximal end of the lower segment of the stem resides and traverses upwardly and downwardly therein, a biasing means within the chamber for biasing the lower segment of the stem in an upward position, and a circumferential tooling assembly. The circumferential tooling assembly has a first tool having an annular contacting surface and a void defined by an elongated circumferential sidewall, an upper pressure sleeve located radially inwardly of the annular contacting surface of the blank punch and within the void defined by the inner surface of the elongated circumferential sidewall of the blank punch, and a second tool within the upper pressure sleeve and encircling the punch core tool. | 10-07-2010 |
20110033265 | BEVERAGE CAN END SEAMING OPERATION TOOLING ASSEMBLY - A knockout tool for removing a filled beverage container from a seaming tool subsequent to attachment to a can end during a seaming process has a main portion positioned about a longitudinal axis, and a plurality of engagement segments extending downwardly from the main portion. | 02-10-2011 |

20110297679 | Can End Produced From Downgauged Blank - A can end for a two-piece beverage container has a curl positioned about a longitudinal axis which defines an outer perimeter of the can end. A circumferential wall angles downwardly and radially inwardly relative to a radially inner portion of the curl. A strengthening member extends radially inwardly relative to the circumferential wall. A center panel extends radially outwardly from the longitudinal axis towards the strengthening member and has a diameter greater than 87.7% of an overall diameter of the can end. A frangible score and a hinge portion define an openable tear panel in the center panel. A stay-on tab is attached to the center panel and has a nose portion overlying the tear panel opposite a lift end of the tab. | 12-08-2011 |
20130299496 | Can End - A can end has a public side and an opposing product side. A circumferential curl is located about a center axis and defines an outer perimeter of the can end. A circumferential wall extends downwardly from the curl. A circumferential, generally U-shaped countersink extends radially inwardly from the circumferential wall relative to the center axis and upwardly. A center panel extends radially inwardly from the countersink relative to the center axis and has a displaceable tear panel defined by frangible score and a hinge segment on the public side and a tab fixed to the public side which has a nose portion overlying a portion of the displaceable tear panel. A circumferential panel joins the countersink with the center panel and has a first panel radius joined to a second panel radius by a short wall extending upwardly and inwardly. The circumferential panel has a bead formed therein. | 11-14-2013 |
