Patent number: 6699566Abstract: Process for manufacturing cold formed shaped forms of packaging having at least one recess from a metal-plastic laminate. Examples of such shaped forms of packaging are the base parts of push-through packs or blister packs. The process is such that the laminate is held between a retaining tool and a die. The die 1 exhibits at least one opening and a stamp is driven into the die opening causing the laminate to be shape-formed into a packaging, correspondingly exhibiting one or more recesses. The die and the retaining tool exhibit facing edge regions and the die, within the edge region, exhibits a shoulder region that surrounds the die opening or openings. The surface of the shoulder region lies 0.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 1998Date of Patent: March 2, 2004Assignee: Alcan Technology & Management Ltd.Inventors: Patrik Zeiter, Heinz Oster

Patent number: 6380549Abstract: In order to detect pin-holes or tears in a foil (16), during deformation of the foil (16), the transmission of light through the foil is measured continuously by means of at least one light source (22) situated on one side of the foil (16) and at least one of the light sensors (24) on the other side of the foil (16). The light source (22) is integrated in a shaping-punch (14) and the light sensors (24) are situated in a die (12) which is employed along with the punch (14). The pin-hole detector (10) enables pin-holes or tears formed during the deformation of the foil to be detected on-line in a single shaping step closely resembling actual working practice.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 1999Date of Patent: April 30, 2002Assignee: Alusuisse Technology & Management, Ltd.Inventors: Heinz Oster, Patrik Zeiter
