Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method of beading a can according to the preamble of claim 1 (EP-A-0 356 269).
  • the invention relates also to a can according to the preamble of claim 4 (EP-A-0 356 269).
  • Beading of this type is known in which a number of circumferential beads are impressed in the form of grooves which are parallel to each other and regularly spaced to create an annular beading zone.
  • the beading zone is generally located in the central part of the can body, between two smooth annular zones.
  • a method of beading a cylindrical metal can body comprising impressing grooves which form a predetermined number of annular beads substantially parallel to and regularly spaced from each other, the beads providing an annular beading zone which is located between two smooth zones, characterised by impressing at least one bead at the end of the beading zone less deeply than the other beads.
  • the present invention has the advantage that the axial strength of the can is improved without any reduction in the radial strength. This radial strength is not reduced in comparison with a can having a traditional beading zone formed with equal depth grooves.
  • the gain in mechanical performance when axially loaded over a can having nominally deep beading (0.4mm) has been shown to be of the order of 15%. Thus the performance of the can when axially loaded is greatly increased without decreasing the radial strength.
  • the first deformation which the provision of at least one shallower groove at the extremity of the beading zone has been found to eliminate completely is the problem of "springback".
  • Springback is attributed to radial shrinkage of the metal after beading and leads to a more accentuated corrugation than foreseen, the corrugation projecting outwards at each extremity of the beading zone.
  • any slight overall deformation, known as "en diabolo" of the can body is very greatly reduced by the provision of shallow beading in accordance with the present invention.
  • This deformation results in curvature of the beading zone which decreases the can performance, in particular the ability of the can to withstand axial loads. Even where some slight curvature remains in the beading zone, the axial load performance is greatly improved by the use of shallow beads.
  • at least two shallower beads are provided, usually one at each extremity of the or each beading zone.
  • a plurality of shallower beads may be provided at each end of the or each beading zone.
  • between two and four beads may advantageously be provided at each extremity of the or each beading zone.
  • these may typically increase in depth with distance from the adjacent smooth annular zone.
  • a metal container having a cylindrical body which is stiffened radially by parallel annular beads which are regularly spaced relative to each other, the beads forming at least one annular beading zone located between two smooth annular zones, characterised in that at least one bead at the end of the or each beading zone is less deep than the others.
  • Figure 1 shows a cylindrical can body 11, here formed from a rectangular blank which has had its two longitudinal edges joined and then welded or seamed to form a sleeve. The join is not shown in figure 1.
  • the two extremities 12, 13 of the sleeve have been flanged so as subsequently to form double seams with respective can ends.
  • the can body In order to increase mechanical strength, particularly in the radial direction, the can body has been beaded around its circumference. Shock-resistant beads 15 in the vicinity of the two extremities of the sleeve are shown but do not form part of the present invention.
  • An annular beading zone 17 is provided in the central portion with a number of circular beads 18 in the form of grooves, which are parallel and regularly spaced relative to each other. Consequently, this beading zone is located between two smooth annular zones 19, 20 where the initially cylindrical can body has not undergone any deformation.
  • the beading zone comprises nineteen beads 18, which have been obtained by rotating the can whilst squeezing the can body between a roll 21 and a fixed member 22, as shown in figure 3.
  • Each bead comprises corrugations of adapted dimensions and shapes.
  • the apparatus is shown prior to bringing the roll 21 and fixed member 22 together to bead the can body.
  • At least one bead 18a is impressed less deeply than are the others, this bead being situated at the end of the beading zone.
  • two such shallower beads 18a, 18b have been impressed at each end of the beading zone with different depths increasing from each neighbouring smooth annular zone.
  • Clearly a different number of shallower beads can be provided according to the form of the can.
  • the beads are grooves with inclined sides, so that the side section of the sleeve as shown in figure 2 appears to be approximately sinusoidal in its beading zone.
  • any projection at the junction of the beading zone and each smooth zone has been eliminated and the can body maintains a substantially cylindrical shape after the beading has been formed.

Abstract

Procédé permettant de réaliser sur le corps (11) d'un boîte une zone de cannelures (17) imprimée sur la partie centrale dudit corps de boîte, une cannelure (18a) au moins étant située sur l'extrémité de la zone de cannelures et étant moins profonde que les autres.

Claims (6)

  1. Procédé de nervurage d'un corps de boîte métallique cylindrique (11) comprenant l'impression de rainures qui forment un nombre prédéterminé de nervures annulaires (18) sensiblement parallèles et espacées régulièrement les unes des autres, les nervures (18) formant une zone de nervurage annulaire (17) qui est située entre deux zones lisses (19, 20), caractérisé par l'impression d'au moins une nervure (18a) à chaque extrémité de la zone de nervurage (17) moins profondément que les autres nervures, de sorte que la performance en charge axiale est accrue sans que la résistance radiale de la boîte (11) soit diminuée.
  2. Procédé selon la revendication 1, caractérisé par l'impression d'une pluralité de nervures moins profondes (18a, 18b) à chaque extrémité de la zone de nervurage (17).
  3. Procédé selon la revendication 1 ou la revendication 2, caractérisé par l'impression d'une pluralité de nervures moins profondes dont la profondeur augmente avec la distance depuis la zone lisse adjacente (19, 20).
  4. Boîte métallique comportant un corps cylindrique (11) qui est raidi radialement par des nervures annulaires (18) sensiblement parallèles qui sont espacées régulièrement les unes des autres, les nervures (18) formant une zone de nervurage annulaire (17) située entre deux zones annulaires lisses (19, 20), caractérisée en ce qu'au moins une nervure (18a) à chaque extrémité de la zone de nervurage (17) est moins profonde que les autres, de sorte que la performance en charge axiale est accrue sans que la résistance radiale de la boîte (11) soit diminuée.
  5. Boîte selon la revendication 4, caractérisée par une pluralité de nervures moins profondes (18a, 18b) à chaque extrémité de la zone de nervurage.
  6. Boîte selon la revendication 4 ou la revendication 5, caractérisée par une pluralité de nervures moins profondes (18a, 18b) dont la profondeur augmente avec la distance depuis la zone ou depuis chaque zone annulaire lisse adjacente (19, 20).
