CAP FOR CONTAINERS, PLANT, METHOD AND FORMING DEVICE FOR MAKING SAID CAP
20200317410 · 2020-10-08 ·

A cap of the press-twist type for a container, includes: a metal capsule having a transversal wall of longest extension which extends transversely with respect to an axis of the container, and a lateral wall; a curling in the distal part with respect to the transversal wall of the lateral wall by means of a curling operation; a sealing gasket with an annular shape for engaging with an opening of the container. The sealing gasket is made of a PVC-free material and includes a lateral portion, positioned in contact with the lateral wall of the capsule, which includes two portions away from the transversal wall of the capsule: a first distal portion relative to the transversal wall of the capsule and a second proximal portion relative to the transversal wall of the capsule, with a thickness greater than the first distal portion.

METAL CLOSURE FOR A CONTAINER, METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME AND METHOD FOR CAPPING A CONTAINER WITH THE SAME
20200180820 · 2020-06-11 ·

A metal closure for containers comprising a capsule designed to be applied to an opening of a container and including a circular part from which extends a perimeter edge. The perimeter of the edge has a rounding or folding obtained by curling and has a series of deformations made in a radial direction towards the centre of the capsule for forming the seal.

METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MANUFACTURING PEEL-OFF LIDS AS WELL AS A PEEL-OFF LID
20200094308 · 2020-03-26 ·

A peel-off lid with a rolled-in section around the extraction opening is formed in such a way that before forming the rolled-in section a thin plastic strip is applied onto the collar of the lid ring. After forming the rolled-in section, the plastic strip is melted in order to reach a good adhesion of the plastic on the upper side and the underside of the peel-off lid in the rolled-in section. In this way it is possible to reach a practically hermetic sealing of the cutting edge of the peel-off lid in an inexpensive way and with the possibility to manufacture with high cadence.

Feed assembly for automated machines
10589338 · 2020-03-17 ·

An assembly for feeding objects downstream into an automated machine includes a track, a tamping location on the track, a stop disposed at the tamping location, and a forward path through the track. A spring proximate to the tamping location moves between a first position and a second position. In the first position of the spring, the spring cooperates with the stop to interrupt the forward path. In the second position of the spring, the spring cooperates with the stop to open the forward path to allow objects to move downstream in the track.

Method and device for producing tear-off lids and tear-off lid
10494139 · 2019-12-03 · ·

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.
