Abstract: A domer station (10) having a domer assembly (12), a housing assembly (14), and a stacked piston assembly (60) is provided. The domer assembly (12) is movably disposed within a domer body passage (40) located in the housing assembly (14) and structured to move between a forward, first position and a retracted, second position. The stacked piston assembly (60) includes a plurality of pistons (62), preferably three pistons, disposed in series and a pressure supply. The pistons (62) are disposed behind the domer (12) in pressure chambers (164). The pistons (162) have a constant pressure applied thereto and are biased towards the domer (12). The pistons (62) are, however, each restrained by a stop and do not contact, or operatively engage, the domer (12) when the domer (12) is in the domer first position.

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). The stretched portion (38) and/or the truncated protrusion (22) utilizes less material relative to an unformed base that has about the same thickness as 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.

Abstract: A shell, a container employing the shell, and tooling and associated methods for forming the shell are provided. The shell includes a center panel, a circumferential chuck wall, an annular countersink between the center panel and the circumferential chuck wall, and a curl extending radially outwardly from the chuck wall. The material of at least one predetermined portion of the shell is selectively stretched relative to at least one other portion of the shell, thereby providing a corresponding thinned portion. The tooling includes a pressure concentrating forming surface.

Abstract: An alignment assembly (60) for a press assembly (10) is provided. The alignment assembly (60) includes a number of alignment elements (62). The alignment elements (62) include a number of moving alignment elements (70). The moving alignment elements (70) are coupled to an upper tooling assembly (18) that moves between a first and second position. As the upper tooling assembly (18) moves, the moving alignment elements (70) move between a first position and a second position corresponding to the upper tooling assembly (18) first position and a second position. The moving alignment elements (70) are structured to move the shell (1) from the initial alignment position to an intermediate alignment position. Thus, as the upper tooling assembly (18) moves from the first position to the second position, the moving alignment elements (70) contact a shell (1) and move the shell (1) from an initial alignment position to an intermediate alignment position.
