Abstract: A drive assembly for a necker machine includes: a plurality of drive sub-modules, each having an input shaft and a first and second output shaft operatively coupled to the input shaft. For a first sub-module: the input shaft is to be operatively coupled to, and driven by, a main drive motor, and the first output shaft is structured to drive a first drive shaft of a first module of the necker machine. For a second sub-module: the input shaft is operatively coupled to, and driven by, the second output shaft of the first sub-module, and the first output shaft is structured to drive, a first drive shaft of a second module of the necker machine that is separated from the first module by at least one other module.

The manifold assembly outer body assembly body (1812) defines a number of radial passages (1814). A generally toroid manifold assembly inner body (1900) defines a number of right angle passages (1902). The manifold assembly inner body (1900) is rotatably disposed within the manifold assembly outer body assembly body (1812). Each manifold assembly inner body passage inlet (1902)is discontinuously in fluid communication with the manifold assembly outer body assembly body passage outlets (1818).

Abstract: A formed blank (10) is provided. The formed blank (10) includes a stretched portion (38) and/or a truncated protrusion (20), a tooling assembly (100) structured to form a formed blank (10) including a stretched portion (38) and/or a truncated protrusion (22), and a method of forming (1000) a formed blank (10) including a stretched portion (38) and/or a truncated protrusion (22). The formed blank (10) includes a base (12) and a depending sidewall (14). The stretched portion (38) and/or the truncated protrusion (22) is disposed on the formed blank base (12) and the thickness of the stretched portion (38) and/or the truncated protrusion (22) is less than the sidewall (14).

Abstract: A container, such as a beverage or food can is provided, which includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall and a bottom portion extending between the first and second sidewalls. The material of the bottom portion is stretched relative to the first sidewall and the second sidewall to form a thinned preselected profile, such as a dome. The material of the container at or about the dome has a substantially uniform thickness. The container is formed from a blank of material, which has a base gauge prior to being formed. After being formed, the blank of material of the container at or about the dome has a thickness less than the base gauge. Tooling having a clamp bead, or a progressive clamp bead, for selectively forming a blank of material into a container, as well as an associated method are also disclosed.
