  • Patent number: 5005728
    Abstract: This relates to a conventional type metal container end having a modified end hook configuration for the purpose of eliminating undesired wrinkles within a conventional type of double seam between a metal container end and a container body. Most particularly, a customary straight section between an end curl and a cut edge of the metal container end is eliminated so that the end curl terminates at the cut edge. Additionally, the end curl is reinforced so as to stiffen the end curl by providing a reinforcement generally in the area of the normal juncture between a seaming panel and the end curl. In a preferred embodiment the reinforcement is arched primarily upwardly.

  • Patent number: 4041901
    Abstract: Electrostatic printing or coating apparatus including a main drum for transporting developer mix to an application or printing zone and having permanent magnet segments mounted within the drum for attracting developer mix to its exterior surface. An electric field is produced in the printing zone to provide movement of developer particles toward the article to be printed or coated and a field producing electrode is mounted within the drum adjacent the printing zone. A container conveyor extends past the printing zone to provide positioning of container portions to be coated, and a further drum having interior permanent magnet segment is positioned to remove developer mix from the main drum. The further drum may be rotated in the rotational direction opposite that of the main drum to reduce developer turbulence.
