  • Patent number: 5716155
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a T-shaped connection frame for connecting car frames, in which a first member is connected to a second member via a joint member to form a "T." The joint member is formed by symmetrically dividing a rectangular tube between its two latch teeth located at the upper-center and lower-center inner walls. The rectangular tube also has protrusions at the left and right exterior walls. The joint member divided in this way has the latch teeth at the upper and lower tips of the mouth formed by the division and has the protrusion situated opposite the mouth so that the first member can be snapped on easily to this mouth and the second member can be attached to the protrusion at the opposite side. This structural arrangement makes the positioning of the frames very simple, obviates a make-shift attachment, and, at the same time, reduces the number of operation steps.

  • Patent number: 4564119
    Abstract: The can end is formed with a circular severing score for severing the area defined thereby from the can end by pulling a manipulating tab secured within the area defined by the score at a position adjacent thereto. In order to increase the pressure resisting strength against the internal pressure caused by the content in the can, the can end is made from a thin aluminum alloy sheet having the yield strength in the range of 24-29 kgf/mm.sup.2 as well as the elongation equal to or greater than 6%, while the aperture rate defined by the ratio of the area formed within the score with respect to the total area of the can end is made at least equal to or greater than 60% so that the pressure resisting strength is kept substantially at least 5 kgf/cm.sup.2.
