Process for forming the wall of the mouth of a metal container or packaging, device for this purpose and packaging or container obtained

Номер: US20120243963A1

Принадлежит: SODETECH SARL

A process of forming the wall of the mouth of a cylindrical, metal container or packaging from a tubular ring that may or may not be molded that has to accommodate a sealing lid equipped with an elastic seal secured by a vacuum created in the container is characterized essentially by the use of a single element, the head carrying out the deformation of the internal diameter of the container by expansion to produce a bead together and simultaneously with a contraction that produces shrinkage above the bead of the mouth, the head comprising an expansible stationary part and a moving part that turns around the stationary part, the parts of the head being coaxial, which has the effect of compressing the metal and hardening it by organizing the metal molecules under two simultaneous stresses, which hardens the packaging and allows it to withstand the vacuum applied thereto.

A rotatable forming apparatus and a method for modifying a shape of a container. The rotatable forming apparatus includes a frame and a forming turret assembly. The forming turret assembly includes a drive shaft, a fixed turret portion, a turret starwheel, an axially moveable turret portion and forming ram assemblies. The forming ram assemblies extend around and connect to the axially movable turret portion. Each of the forming ram assemblies includes cam followers, a forming die, a knockout tooling device and a drive cylinder. The cam followers are configured to follow the cam as the forming ram assemblies rotate around the stationary cam. The forming die is operatively connected to the cam followers such that the forming die moves in the vertical direction while following the cam. The drive cylinder causes axial movement of the knockout tooling device and is configured to operate independently of the forming die.

A hydrostatic/hydrodynamic fluid bearing assembly for a can bodymaker is provided. The hydrostatic/hydrodynamic fluid bearing assembly is separate from the ram body. The outboard guide bearing assembly includes a carriage assembly and a number of elongated journals. The carriage assembly includes a ram coupling, a crank coupling, and body defining a number of journal passages. The ram body is coupled to a ram coupling. The crank coupling is structured to be coupled to a crank arm. Each journal extends through a carriage assembly body journal passage. In this configuration, the ram body may form a can body in a traditional manner, but fluid bearing assembly fluid is not applied to the ram body. Instead, the fluid bearing assembly fluid is applied to the journals. 1. A carriage assembly guide bearing assembly for a can bodymaker , said bodymaker including an elongated ram body , a crank assembly , a housing assembly , a die pack and a carriage assembly , said die pack defining a passage , said carriage assembly including a body with a ram coupling , a crank coupling , a first lateral surface and a second lateral surface , said crank assembly including a reciprocating crank arm , said crank arm coupled to said carriage assembly body crank coupling , said ram body coupled to said carriage assembly body rain coupling , said carriage assembly guide bearing assembly comprising:a number of guide bearing assemblies;each guide bearing assembly including a first component and a second component; andwherein each said carriage assembly guide bearing assembly is structured to orient said ram body with said die pack passage.2. The carriage assembly guide bearing assembly of wherein:each said carriage assembly guide bearing assembly first component is a saddle; andeach said carriage assembly guide bearing assembly second component is a journal channel.2. The carriage assembly guide bearing assembly of wherein:each said saddle includes a number of thrust pad assemblies; andeach said ...
