A can comprises a can body (10) and a lid (4). The can body is manufactured using only a single homogeneous piece of material and has an edge that defines a top opening into the can. The can body also has an inwardly directed bead (23), which extends around the body, is adjacent to the can body edge, and defines an inwardly facing sealing surface (24) of substantially constant transverse cross-sectional dimension along an axial extent. The lid defines an outwardly directed sealing surface which abuts the inwardly facing sealing surface presented by the inwardly directed bead in order to seal the lid to the can body. An alternative can body has an inwardly directed pinched or collapsed bead which defines an upwardly facing sealing surface (34) for engagement with a downwardly facing sealing surface of a can lid. The alternative can body additionally has an inwardly directed bead (35) between the can body edge and the pinched or collapsed bead. An outer brim (42) of the lid is configured to be retained between the two beads of the alternative can body.

A thinned metal can end having a non-uniform thickness profile is provided. The can end has a central panel having at least a first thickness, a middle portion having at least a second thickness greater than the first thickness, and an end portion having at least a third thickness greater than the first and second thicknesses. The can end is configured to be joined to a can wall by a double seam.

The patent discloses a storage basket with high strength and bearing capacity, including a second metal basket body, wherein two sides of the second metal basket body are fixedly assembled with first metal basket bodies; the first metal basket bodies are assembled and arranged on the two sides of the second metal basket body, so that the first metal basket bodies and the second metal basket body are connected into a whole to form the storage basket; and two side edges, connected to each other, of the first metal basket bodies and the second metal basket body are welded with each other to form a whole or are connected into a whole through Z-shaped connecting components. The storage basket of the patent has high strength and bearing capacity and can assist in finishing more tasks that require load bearing.

The invention relates to a lid element (1) for a beverage container (2), at least comprising a lid panel (3) having an opening (4), a fold edge (6) extending around the lid panel (3) in a circumferential direction (5) for connecting the lid element (1) to the beverage container (2), as well as damping bead (7) extending circumferentially between the fold edge (6) and the lid panel (3); wherein the lid element (1) has an outer face (8) and an inner face (9), and the opening (4) has an opening rim (10) and an opening plane (11) formed by the opening rim (10); wherein the lid element (1) has a connection region (12) which directly adjoins the opening rim (10), extends around the opening rim (10) in the circumferential direction (5), and extends at least in part at an angle of inclination (13).

The patent discloses a storage basket with high strength and bearing capacity, including a second metal basket body, wherein two sides of the second metal basket body are fixedly assembled with first metal basket bodies; the first metal basket bodies are assembled and arranged on the two sides of the second metal basket body, so that the first metal basket bodies and the second metal basket body are connected into a whole to form the storage basket; and two side edges, connected to each other, of the first metal basket bodies and the second metal basket body are welded with each other to form a whole or are connected into a whole through Z-shaped connecting components. The storage basket of the patent has high strength and bearing capacity and can assist in finishing more tasks that require load bearing.

An open-type storage basket easy to assemble, comprising a side frame body arranged on a side and a bottom plate arranged on a bottom of the side frame body, the side frame body is formed by bending of at least one side edge frame, which have end parts connected through an X type clamping piece whose longitudinal cross section presents an X shape, the X type clamping piece includes a first V shaped metal strap arranged on one side, a second V shaped metal strap arranged on the other side; one end of the side edge frame is inserted into the first V shaped metal strap while the other end is inserted into the second V shaped metal strap; the first and second V shaped metal straps fix and connect together the side edge frame at the two ends through extrusion deformation to form side frame bodies of various shapes.
