Abstract: Forming a convenience-feature, sheet metal end closure structure (180, 216) for a container having a non-cylindrical side wall (250). Scoring and back-up tooling enable peripheral scoring (102, 130, 142) on either surface of such end closure to define a separable panel (160, 218) with its peripheral scoreline located contiguous to the end closure chuck wall (132, 144); which interfits within the open end of the container body. Separation of such endwall panel leaves substantially no obstruction to removal of solid-pack contents. The separable panel is provided with means to prevent tear-out of a segment of the endwall panel and retain an integral opener (148) with the panel. Preselected placement of such elongated integral opener as designated on various non-circular configuration endwall panels, along with novel shaping of tooling chuck (270), enables desired chuck wall support for chime seam assembly of the end closure a container body as well as desired placement of the opener working end contiguous to such chuck wall and peripheral scoreline.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for forming a convenience-feature, sheet metal end closure structure (133) for a container body (153) having a non-cylindrical side wall. A new scoring tool (94) configuration enables a peripheral scoreline (102) defining a separable convenience-feature panel (112) to be located contiguous to the closure chuck wall (100) which interfits about its entire periphery with the open end of the side wall of such a container. Separation of such panel leaves substantially no obstruction to removal of solid-pack container. The separable panel (112) is formed with a multiple-layer fold (127) of sheet metal which is nested against the interior periphery of such panel, so as to shield torn residual metal remaining with the panel after severance along such peripheral scoreline. And, preselected placement of an elongated integral openers (148) as designated on various noncircular configuration endwall panels, along with novel shaping of chuck wall tooling (170), enables desired chuck wall support for chime seam assembly of such sheet metal end closure to a container body.

Abstract: New technology for deep drawing can bodies for use in the manufacture of two-piece cans for food and beverage products from precoated flat-rolled sheet metal can stock in which damage to can stock precoated on both surfaces with an organic coating is avoided and draw-forming of the side wall is controlled to decrease metal requirements. A draw die cavity entrance (47, 74) is selected to provide at least a major portion of its curvilinear surface having a radius of curvature of about five times nominal sheet metal thickness gage, or less, e.g. a maximum radius of curvature of 0.04 inch is used for the more commonly used can stock materials. During cup redraw, nesting of curvilinear clamping surfaces (21, 26) of the prior art is eliminated; the compound curvilinear juncture of a work product cup, between its end wall and side wall, is reshaped about a clamping ring compound curvilinear transition zone (72) of smaller surface area than the cup juncture and, the sheet metal is clamped solely between planar clamping surfaces (63, 71) during redraw to a smaller diameter utilizing a male punch (66) with a punch nose (79) having a significantly larger surface area than that of the cavity entrance zone.

Abstract: Apparatus which eliminates mechanically-moving parts for clasping or releasing a sheet metal can body for moving a can body from a forming station and, which reduces the number of moving parts as well as the type of movements required by such transfer apparatus to enable sheet metal can bodies to be transferred rapidly, in synchronism with movements of tooling in a forming press without damage to sheet metal or coating while controlling orientation and stability of the can body. A shuttle-arm oscillates in the longitudinal direction of the can line, into and out of the area of the press tooling to transfer a can body for continued movement in the line; such shuttle arm moves at a rate which does not obstruct any movement of the forming tooling or the operating rate of the press. A formed can body is attracted to and physically held at the leading end of the shuttle arm in desired orientation without mechanical movement clamping of any type by a stacked array of permanent magnets and flux path bars. Movement of the shuttle arm longitudinally in relation to a wiper-arm separates the can body at a desired location without requiring separate mechanical moving parts. Such flux path bars present a surface which matches a portion of the contour of the can body. A rigid-holding capability, with desired stability and orientation are provided.

Abstract: Composite-coated flat-rolled steel can stock processing and product for fabrication of drawn one-piece cup-shaped work product or can end walls. Single or double-reduced flat-rolled steel, after cleaning, is chemically treated to apply a chrome oxide coating of about three hundred (300) to five hundred (500) micrograms per square foot to each substrate surface followed by utilization of a dual-organic coating system with application and curing of an organic primer to each chemically-treated surface of the substrate followed by application and curing of an added organic coating on at least one such substrate surface; such composite-coating process resulting in an exterior surface of a drawn can body or end wall having at least about two and one-half (2.5) to about five (5) milligrams of organic coating per square inch and an interior can surface with organic coating weight of at least about seven and one-half (7.5) to ten (10) milligrams per square inch. In cup forming applications, both such surfaces are lubricated with a suitable lubricant approved for food and beverage usage prior to cupping and any redraw operation.

Abstract: Composite-coated flat-rolled steel can stock processing and product for fabrication of sheet metal cans, in particular for three-piece, welded or cemented side seam cans. Single or double-reduced, low carbon, flat-rolled steel of a gage in the range of about 55 to 110 pounds per base box is flash coated with tin (0.05 #/bb), which is alloyed with the steel base metal; at least 0.20 #/bb of tin is added to one surface only, flow brightened and water quenched; chemical treatment chrome oxide coating of about 100 to 750 milligrams per square foot is added to both surfaces and an organic coating of 2.5 to 15 milligrams per square inch is added to the surface which is free of flow-brightened tin for disposition internally of a can fabricated from such coated can stock. The equivalent of quarter-pound and higher coating weight tinplate protection is provided while decreasing tin requirements and maintaining three-piece can fabrication properties not available with coating metal substitutes for tin.

Abstract: Improved ironing material and structure for drawing and ironing can bodies from lightweight flat rolled sheet metal while facilitating stripping from the ironing mandrel and providing desired flanging metal are disclosed. The exterior surface of the mandrel is provided with a uniform-taper transition zone contiguous to the trim height for a can body being formed such that sidewall metal thickness increases uniformly above the main body portion of the can body and expires along the tapered surface of the transition zone. The tapered surface extends beyond formed can body height so that stripping means approach the open end of an ironed can body along a portion of the mandrel having a smaller diameter than the interior diameter of the mandrel mounted can body.

Abstract: A sheet metal container provided with easy-open, retained-tab, pour-feature opening structure is disclosed. An elongated tab opener is positioned with its longitudinal axis in substantially right-angled relationship to the longitudinal axis of an elongated scored tab to be moved out of the plane of the container wall panel. The tab opener is secured to the scored tab portion by a unitary rivet. Class 1 lever action, with high mechanical advantage due to location of the rivet near the working end of the tab opener which overlays the starting portion of the scoreline, provides ease of opening sheet metal containers including flat rolled steel containers. Either a lanced tab opener or a vent scoreline in the scored movable tab can be used to eliminate back tension in the sheet metal which ordinarily would oppose lifting of the handle end of the tab opener as Class 1 lever action is initiated. A triple-scoreline concept enables a reduction of residual scoreline metal at a primary scoreline and prevents random movement of score metal by placement of secondary scorelines adjacent to the primary scoreline.
