  • Publication number: 20150014317
    Abstract: A container for a powder material includes an inner portion in the form of a flange (13), and a peelable sealing membrane sealingly attached onto the flange (13) via a peripheral sealing cord (27). The sealing membrane also has at least one pull tab (23) so as to enable the peeling thereof relative to the flange (13) by breaking down the sealing cord (27). The flange (13) has at least one passageway (18) for circulating gas; the passageway (18) is to be sealed by the attached sealing membrane and is located opposite the pull tab (23) so as to release the internal excess pressure from the container (3) upon the initiation of the peeling of the sealing membrane. The container is particularly useful for eliminating, or at least reducing, the splatter of the packaged material.

  • Publication number: 20140166683
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide a seal between an open body end of a container body and an edge of a lid which is pressable into the open end of the body in a sealing manner, both made from sheet metal, wherein at the end of the body the sheet metal is bent outward by approximately 180° with a bending radius, the lid edge, which is separated from a lid surface by a channeled bead, extending axially upward with its radially external defining edge of the bead beyond an axial position of the lid surface and being bent outwards with a radius which is larger than the bending radius at the body end, to form a rolled edge for receiving an annular sealing material filling the rolled edge and extending downwards, wherein a sheet edge of the rolled edge terminates at a radial distance before the defining edge, said distance being dimensioned such that during the sealing process the body end, with the bending radius thereof in contact with the defining edge of the lid, may be inserted between the same and the sealing mate

  • Patent number: 8657150
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments include a seal between an open body end of a container body and an edge of a lid. The lid is pressable into the open end of the body in a sealing manner. The components may be made from a light gauge sheet metal. The lid can be removable affixed to the body. The seal is configured to securely attach to the body to provide a safe seal of the container to be capable of withstanding impacts, such as from a shock or fall. Accordingly, the embodiments are applicable to containers which contain hazardous materials.

  • Publication number: 20130181001
    Abstract: The invention relates to a container with a closure between an open body end of a container body and the edge region of a lid that can be pressed into the open body end in a sealing manner. The lid has a seal in an edge region. The body end (27) is bent outwardly by 180°, with a radius that is as small as possible, in accordance with the sheet metal thickness. The bent portion (27) rests with a first part portion (3) directly on the outer face of the container body. The end of this first portion (3), in order to form two further part portions (8, 11), is bent radially outwardly with respect to the container axis and then axially downwardly.

  • Publication number: 20120255262
    Abstract: A container such as a can for holding a product to be packaged, in particular a food item, includes a can body (1) made up of a bottom element (2) which is extended by a side wall (3), the can body (1) defining an inner packaging space (6) and including an inner surface (7) made at least partially of tin, which is covered with a protective layer (10) intended for resisting the chemical activity of the product to be packaged. The protective layer (10) includes, distributed over at least one portion of the surface thereof, a plurality of pores (11) through each one of which an area (7a) opposite the tin inner surface (7) can be accessed from the inner container space (6), in particular to allow the release of tin while minimizing the aesthetic impact caused by the chemical activity of the product to be packaged on the tin inner surface (7).
