Publication number: 20230382584Abstract: A radially expansible press plunger has a base plate, a first expansion tool and a second expansion tool. The first expansion tool and the second expansion tool are movable in relation to each other in the axial direction. The first expansion tool has at least one inclined plane surface. The second expansion tool has at least one inclined plane surface corresponding to the at least one inclined plane surface on the first expansion tool. Each inclined plane surface on the first expansion tool contacts and applies pressure to the corresponding inclined plane surface of the second expansion tool when the expansible press plunger is in the radially expanded state. An attachment unit for attaching a container sealing element to a container body and a method for attaching a container sealing element to a container body are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2021Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventor: Per Hagelqvist

Publication number: 20230058059Abstract: A radially expansible press plunger including a base plate and a first plunger skirt. A circumferential edge portion of the first plunger skirt is arranged at a guiding surface of the base plate and being arranged radially inward of the circumferential edge of the bottom surface. The first plunger skirt is resiliently transformable between an unexpanded state and a radially expanded state. The expansible press plunger further comprises a second plunger skirt having a plunger skirt side wall with a circumferential edge portion at a bottom end of the second plunger skirt and being arranged radially outward of the circumferential edge portion of the first plunger skirt. The second plunger skirt is resiliently transformable between an unexpanded state and a radially expanded state under influence from the circumferential edge portion of the first plunger skirt.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2020Publication date: February 23, 2023Inventor: Per Hagelqvist
