The present disclosure generally relates to containers and container end closures, and more specifically metallic end closures for small diameter metallic beverage containers. The present disclosure also relates to the tooling used to form the novel end closure, where the tooling is itself novel. The change of the angles on the die core ring improve the mobility of the metal while forming the end closure. Specifically, when manufacturing the new end closure with the new tooling, the press output is increased by over five times.

The present invention relates to a crown cap for bottles of the type constituted by a metal plate, although it could be made of another material, having a structural configuration which favors the opening operation of the bottle by means of the removal of the crown cap with the thumb of the hand holding the bottle.

The present invention relates to a metal cap that has an adhesive inner surface coating film and a masking layer that can be formed in the same step thereby exhibiting excellent productivity, and a method for manufacturing the same. A coating film of a coating composition containing an adhesive component in a base resin and a masking agent is formed between the top plate portion inner surface of the metal cap shell and the olefin resin liner. The coating film has an adhesive portion that is adhesive to the olefin resin liner and a non-adhesive portion that is non-adhesive or weakly adhesive to the olefin resin liner. The adhesive portion of the coating film is formed by positioning the adhesive component of the coating composition on the coating film surface. The non-adhesive portion of the coating film has the masking layer of the masking agent at a side facing the metal cap shell, such that a sea-island structure is formed on the coating film surface corresponding to the masking layer, in which the adhesive component of the coating composition is a dispersion phase and the base resin is a continuous phase.

A crown for a bottle or other container has a top portion and an annular skirt that descends contiguously from the top portion. An opener assembly and an arrangement of frangible scoring lines on the crown allow for ease of opening the bottle or container. Corrugated embodiments provide material strengthening for a reduced gauge crown.

Corrugated embodiments provide material strengthening for a reduced gauge crown.

An easily openable container lid includes a shell and liner. The shell includes a flat circular top wall, a skirt wall having an arcuate part extending arcuately radially outward and downward from the peripheral edge of the top wall in a longitudinal cross sectional view and a linear part extending vertically downward following the arcuate part, and a grip piece extending from the lower end of the skirt wall. The top wall, the skirt wall and at least a base part of the grip piece are integrally formed of a metal sheet, and a pair of scores each composed of first and second portions are formed on the shell. The first portions extend on the skirt wall upward from both sides of the grip piece, and the second portions extend arcuately between the upper end part of the skirt part and the peripheral edge part of the top wall.
