A resealable beverage can lid has a lid having a top side having a score line forming a panel, a first rivet formed in the lid and extending outwardly from the top side of the lid, a second rivet formed in the panel and extending outwardly from the top side of the lid, and a tab portion connected to the first rivet and the second rivet.

A tab stock feeder assembly for a press includes a plurality of support elements, a plurality of rotating elements, and a number of operative elements. Each rotating element is rotatably coupled to an associated support element. Each operative element coupled to at least one of the support element or one of the rotating element and wherein each the operative element is structured to be engaged by a rotating element. The tab stock feeder assembly further includes a wear reduction assembly including a plurality of wear reducing elements. A plurality of support elements have at least one wear reduction assembly wear reducing element disposed between a rotating element and the associated support element.

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.

Provided is a can body in which a skirt part of the cap attached to a curl part certainly wraps to fixable and pressure resistance can be improved. A cylindrical part and a mouth part connected with a neck part with a smaller diameter than the cylindrical part are provided with; the mouth part has a curl part at an outer peripheral part which is made by folding a tip outward in a radial direction to round up; and in a vertical cross section on a can axis, a concave part is formed toward a lower side in the can axis direction, between an outer peripheral-lower side bent part which is convex diagonally downward on an outer peripheral part of the curl part and a curl end part having the tip.

A metal bottle assembly adapted for use on a plastic bottling includes a metal bottle with an outsert assembled on the neck portion of the bottle. The outsert may be constructed from plastic material and may be fixed to the bottle using an interference fit. The outsert enables the bottle to be placed on a plastic bottling line with minimal or no modifications to the bottling line. The outsert also ensures that the metal bottle is not damaged by handling on the plastic bottling line. In some embodiments, the outsert is designed to elastically deform as it is pressed on the neck of a pre-formed metal bottle and therefore create the interference fit between the outsert and the bottle. In some embodiments the outsert is retained on the neck of the bottle through the interference fit alone.

A tear-off lid with a curled edge of the removal opening is formed such that before the edge is curled, a plastics layer provided as a band of low thickness and preferably only 0.1 mm thickness is applied to the collar of the lid ring. In this way, a good seal of the cut edge of the tear-off lid is produced economically and with the possibility for production at a high rate.

An apparatus and tool set forming a three-dimensionally shaped portion on a shoulder of a can including an inner roll having a receiver for receiving the shoulder from inside; an outer roll for pressing the shoulder from outside; and a rotating unit for rotating the inner roll and the outer roll relative to the can. The shoulder is formed on a side of an upper end of a cylindrical body of the can in a can axis direction to be reduced in a diameter toward a side of a mouth of the can and to have a thickness of 0.1 to 0.3 mm. The receptor of the inner roll has at least one of a concave portion and a convex portion, and has a diameter reduced portion corresponding to a shape of the shoulder. Further, the inner roll and the outer roll are rotated by the rotating unit.

A can is provided. The can may include a shoulder, which is formed on a side of an upper end of a cylindrical body of the can in a can axis direction to be reduced in a diameter toward a side of a mouth of the can and to have a thickness of 0.1 to 0.3 mm, and has at least one of a concave portion and a convex portion. An inside diameter of the mouth may be 25 to 60 mm, a maximum outside diameter of the shoulder may be 50 to 70 mm, and a ratio of the maximum outside diameter of the shoulder to the inside diameter of the mouth may be 1.05 to 1.58.
