A can end includes a center panel, an annular portion disposed about the center panel, a chuck wall disposed about the annular portion, a curl extending radially outwardly from the chuck wall, the annular portion including a subsurface step.

An aluminum wine container including an aluminum can body having a barrel portion, and an aluminum can lid that covers an opening of the can body. The aluminum can body has an inner surface on which a polyester resin coating is formed, the coating has a thickness of not less than 4 m at the barrel portion, and the aluminum can lid has an inner surface on which a coating film of a polyester/phenolic coating material having a thickness of not less than 6 m is formed. Also disclosed is packed wine, prepared by filling the aluminum container with wine and sealing the container.

A method of forming a coating on a food or beverage container, which includes spraying a coating composition onto an interior surface of the food or beverage container, where the coating composition includes a latex copolymer and a metal drier or crosslinking agent. The latex copolymer is a reaction product of monomers that include (a) one or more styrene-offset monomers containing one or more cyclic groups and one or more ethylenically-unsaturated pendant groups, at least a portion of such styrene-offset monomers being polycyclic monomers containing ring unsaturation, and (b) one or more other ethylenically-unsaturated monomers. Preferably, the coating composition is substantially free of BPA, PVC, and styrene. The method may also include curing the sprayed coating composition, thereby providing the coating on the interior surface of the food or beverage container.

A bottle can has a curl part at an opening end of a mouth part thereof. The curl part has an upper end curved part in which an upper part of a neck shoulder part of the mouth part is curved outward and an outer wall part extending downward from the upper end curved part. A predetermined angle at which an outer edge side of a lower end face of the outer wall part opens is formed between the lower end face of the outer wall part and the neck shoulder part. An inner edge of the lower end face comes into contact with the neck shoulder part when a downward load is applied to the curl part from above.

A resin-coated steel can and method for producing the same. The resin-coated steel can is produced by drawing or draw-redrawing a resin-coated steel sheet at least having a surface serving as a can inner surface coated with a biaxially-stretched polyester film and a surface serving as a can outer surface that is coated and/or printed. The biaxially-stretched polyester film on the can inner surface side wall has a crystallinity in a range of 42 to 52%, and a shrinkage (shrinkage in the can height direction upon raising the temperature from 23 C. to 130 C. at a rate of 5 C./min.) of the biaxially-stretched polyester film on the can inner surface side wall is less than 10% of the can height.

Disclosed is a container including a box body made of a metal material, the box body including a side wall closed by at least one bottom wall. The side wall includes at least one reinforcing zone that extends over at least part of the height and the circumference of the side wall. The reinforcing zone includes at least one reinforcing moulding. The virtual lines of the reinforcing zone, designed to form straight virtual lines on the reinforcing zone when it is set flat, are each intersected by the at least one reinforcing moulding. Preferably, the at least one reinforcing moulding consists of a non-straight reinforcing moulding with a non-straight contour.

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 metallic worked article suppressing the worked surfaces from being scratched during the plastic work that is conducted aiming at reducing the thickness or decreasing the diameter. The metallic worked article has a reduced thickness or a decreased diameter as obtained through the plastic work, wherein on the worked surface thereof, the ratio Ra1/Ra2 of an arithmetic mean roughness Ra1 measured in a direction at right angles with the direction of working and an arithmetic mean roughness Ra2 measured in the direction of working, is from 0.5 to 1.5.

A portable container and container assembly provides a durable, functional and simple carry-all solution for dry and wet provisions, goods and gear. Exemplary features of various embodiments include one or more of an overmolded pad on the bottom of the container, a removable handle incorporating a releasable retaining structure, a lid that seals within the container cavity and is flush with the outer periphery of the container sidewall and/or has a cellular internal reinforcing structure, a skirt extending around the sidewall that is integral with handle mounts for the handle and/or provides a connection point for external components, and a drop-in tray with a collapsible handle.
