Abstract: A connection rod coupling assembly includes a settable shape mounting second component having a lateral, primary axis and a bearing assembly including a bearing assembly body. The bearing assembly body includes a substantially cylindrical outer surface and a center axis. The bearing assembly body is coupled to the settable shape mounting second component in a non-aligned configuration. That is, the bearing assembly body center axis is offset from the settable shape mounting second component primary axis. Thus, the position of the bearing assembly body center axis is adjustable by repositioning the settable shape mounting second component relative to a settable shape mounting first component on a swing lever. The adjustment of the bearing assembly body, in turn, adjusts the range of the ram assembly and the ram assembly body.

Abstract: An improvement in the shape of a fold in a tin can allows the use of sheet metal of lower gauge than that currently used. This is achieved with a fold geometry on a tin can which is closed off with a double fold, such as for a drink or food tin; by providing a continuous or stepped contour on the fold side; and by insuring that the lid hook is clearly in area-contact (positive fit) on its outer side with the free end of the body hook in its lower third. The invention may be applied to standard-gauge as well as thinner-gauge sheet metal, and generally results in a better seal.

Abstract: A reusable industrial drum is formed by temporarily joining the periphery of the end closure to the rim of the cylindrical shell by curling to produce a spiral seam. The outermost layer of the seam, consisting of a portion of the end closure, is cut to permit the end closure element and shell to be separated and disassembled. Further processing operations may take place on the closure element and shell separately. The closure element is thereafter re-mated with the shell, a seam sealant having previously been introduced between the parts, and a locking ring such as a bolt or chime ring is placed over the reassembled seam. The locking ring surrounds the periphery of the seam to hold the seam together. After use, the drum can be readily disassembled for reprocesing and reuse by simply removing the bolt or chime ring.

Abstract: An improved hermetically sealed composite container formed by double-seaming a pair of compounded metal ends to extended length flanges on the opposite ends of a can body so that the compound is bonded to an inner liner on the can body to provide an effective seal. The compound material is placed in the seaming panel and curl area of the metal ends so as to provide a more extensive seal area when the metal ends are double-seamed with the extended flanges on the can body. The extended length flanges provide a considerably greater contact area between the can body inner liner and the metal ends when the metal ends are double-seamed to the can body.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for the preparation of cans which comprises pressing a flexible lid comprising an aluminum foil as a substrate and a heat-sealable resin layer formed on the surface thereof to a metallic can body being formed of a surface-treated ferromagnetic steel plate and having a curl on the edge of an opening in such a positional relation that the curl portion of the can body confronts the resin layer of the lid, and induction-heating the curl portion selectively by a high-frequency induction-heating coil located in the vicinity of the periphery of the curl portion to form a seal between the curl portion and the lid by heat-sealing. According to this process, the curl portion to be heat-sealed is selectively heated, and heat-sealing can be accomplished in a short time while preventing deterioration of a lacquer or sealant.
