Abstract: A closure end is provided, particularly made of sheet material for beverage cans, in which an annular fringe region is radially coupled between the central panel portion and a radius of curvature coupled to a core groove with an inner leg. The central panel portion is squeezed such that material is displaced (flows) from the fringe region in a substantially radial outward direction towards the radius of curvature. The squeezing is accomplished by a coining tool having a coining surface operable to contact the closure end. The closure surface is pressed against the closure end causing the thickness of the sheet material of the closure end to be reduced in the annular fringe region. The reduction in thickness gradually decreasing in the direction of the radius of curvature. The material displaced by the squeezing flowing towards the radius of curvature.

Abstract: There is provided a tin lid for use with cans of oblong shape in Hansa format, which includes in its lid image section a tear-open portion defined by a self-contained recessed line capable of being broken up at one end of the lid by means of a pull-open ring attached to this end. At the other end, said recessed line includes a straight recessed line portion which extends in chordal-type fashion with respect to the core wall shaped like an arc of a circle and which is positioned perpendicular and symmetrically to the longitudinal lid center line and is further connected with the other recessed line components through an also chordal-type or polygonal recessed line connecting portion.

Abstract: There is provided a tin lid for flat cans rounded oblong, in Hansa format, which includes in its lid image section, a tear-open portion defined by a self-contained notch line capable of being broken up at one end of the lid by means of a pull-open ring attached to this end. At the other end, said notch line includes a straight-lined notch line section which extends in chordal-type fashion with respect to the core wall shaped like an arc of a circle and which is arranged perpendicular and symmetrically to the longitudinal lid center line and which is connected with the other portions of the notch line through a polygonal or chordal-type connecting notch line. The distance between the chordal-type notch line section and the core wall, measured along the longitudinal center line of the lid, preferably ranges between 6 and 10 mm.
