Disclosed is a beverage container which includes a container body, which includes a container sidewall, a bottom section, and a top section. The container sidewall defines a first opening into the internal volume of the container body. The top section defines a second opening into the internal volume of the container body. The beverage container includes a plug, which includes a central body portion and a flange extending radially from a first end of the central body portion. The plug is configured to seal the first opening with the central body portion positioned within the first opening and the flange positioned within the internal volume against an internal surface of the container sidewall around the first opening. The beverage container includes a sealing device coupled with the top section of the container body and configured to seal the second opening to enclose the internal volume of the container body.

The principles of the present invention further provide both a shaped metal container and its preforms that exhibit a rounded grain structure characteristic created by an annealing process and a method for making a shaped metal container. The process of making said metal container results in a quicker process time and uses less metals (at least 10% metal weight savings), thus allowing for a decrease in the costs of making such shaped metal containers. A shaped metal container may include work hardened rolled sheet-metal defining a sidewall, an opening, and a base, where at least one section along the sidewall has grains with an average aspect ratio less than about 4 to 1.

The present invention relates generally to a container that may be sealed and reclosed with a threaded closure. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods of manufacturing a metallic container having an opening with inwardly facing threads that are formed after a threaded closure is inserted at least partially into the opening. The container opening may be selectively sealed and reclosed with the threaded closure which releasably engages the container threads.

A method for manufacturing a metal bottle having a mouthpiece in an upper part of a bottomed cylindrical bottle body, including forming a screw part on the mouthpiece and then forming a curl at a tip of the mouthpiece. During formation of the screw part, a height of the first-stage screw thread from a tip side in a complete screw part and a height of the second-stage screw thread from the tip side are substantially equal and a distance between an apex part of the first-stage screw thread and a bottle axis is smaller than a distance between the apex part of the second-stage screw thread and the bottle axis. After formation of the curl, a distance between the apex part of the first-stage screw thread and the bottle axis and a distance between the apex part of the second-stage screw thread and the bottle axis are substantially equal.

The present invention relates to a press-type composite internally and externally threaded portion forming system. In this case, the press-type composite internally and externally threaded portion forming system includes an expansion-type collet core unit (10) and a contraction-type collet core unit (20) as its principal components so that internally and externally threaded portions are formed by means of a press method in a composite manner in such a way that the expansion forming force of the expansion-type collet core unit (10) and the contraction forming force of the contraction-type collet core unit (20) simultaneously act on the inner and outer circumferential surfaces of a workpiece in opposite directions.
