  • Patent number: 10532851
    Abstract: A container assembly includes a container body having a side wall encircling an axis, and a metal end for attachment to an upper edge of the side wall via heat-sealing. The outer peripheral region is shaped prior to application to the container body such that an annular channel is defined between an inner chuck wall and an outer chuck wall of the metal end. The metal end is pushed straight onto the side wall such that the upper edge of the side wall is received into the channel. The surfaces of the side wall and the opposing surfaces of the chuck walls have heat-sealable material thereon. The metal end is heated to melt and fuse the heat-sealable layers, thereby sealing the metal end onto the side wall. The metal end is shaped such that the free edge of the outer chuck wall is not exposed.

  • Patent number: 9132947
    Abstract: A sealing disc (10) is used for closing orifices of containers (5). It has a film (20) for inductively coupling heat into the sealing disc (10). A sealing layer (25) is provided on that side of the film (20) which is intended to face the interior of the container (5) in order to seal, in sealtight fashion, the sealing disc (10) on the orifice of the container (5). Lines of weakness (26) are provided in the sealing layer (25) so as to form a removal opening (27) once the film (20) has been drawn off. One or more layers (40), which are connected detachably to the film (20), are provided on that side of the film (20) which is remote from the sealing layer (25). The layers (40) detach mare easily from the lam (20) than the sealing layer (25) and also detach more easily from the orifice of the container (5) than the sealing layer (25).

    Abstract: The method for forming a container that comprises the following stages: the forming of the sidewall blank from a blank by wrapping it in a form that is closed in its horizontal section and by seaming its opposite edges together; the sealing of the sidewall blank at one end with a lid member, which is equipped with a discharge hole; the sealing of the sidewall blank at the other end with a bottom member; and the filling of the container. At first the lid member, the discharge hole of which is completely sealed with an openable closing member, is inserted into the end of the sidewall blank. Thereafter the container is filled through the end of the sidewall blank that was left open, and the container is sealed to form a tight container by sealing the end that was left open with the bottom member.
