  • Patent number: 6851568
    Abstract: A lid-seal for a metal container constituted by fixing, through a beading process, on the upper edge of a metal container (1) made of sheet metal, an assembly formed by a plastic membrane (2) and a stamped metal ring (3). The plastic membrane (2) has a peripheral portion (9), followed internally by a recess having therein a ring-like recess (10) and a perimetral ring-like reinforcement (11) and with a lower ring-shaped thin breaking line (12) which breaks when pulled, after the breaking of the short breaking portion (13) of the incorporated pulling ring (14). The stamped metal ring (3) has a flat inner section (4) with a central circular opening (5) with the inner edge beaded inwards (6) and an elevation to form an upper bed (7) and a peripheral edge turned downwards (8) so that, jointly with the peripheral portion (9) of the membrane (2) it can be beaded in the container (1).
