  • Process for the production of metallic packaging of generally prismatic shape and packaging obtained by this process
    Patent number: 5813565
    Abstract: According to this process, a tubular metal body (10) of substantially polygonal cross-section is formed, delimiting lateral faces (12) of the package which are connected together by rounded corners (14). Then a radially projecting metal-expansion bead (18) is formed in proximity to a first end of the body (10) and in each of the corners of this body. The beads (18) are all substantially the same distance from this first end. Finally, a neck (20) and a flange (22) extending this neck are formed on the first end of the body (10), and a detached metal face (24) forming a bottom or a top of the package is seamed onto the flange (22).
