Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for can-making, particularly the top end of the can. Specifically, it relates to a method for providing the can end's pull tab with a logo pierced thereon for promotional and decoration purposes, proof of purchase, product genuineness and the like, on cans, including beverage can ends.
  • the conventional system for using can products, such as food and beverages cans, to provide a message, advertise or decorate on can end's pull tab is by printing, embossing or etching picture or logo on the can end's pull tab.
  • the process to provide the logo on the can end's pull tab may be carried out by any conventional technology including, but not limit to, inks, paints, silk screens, adhesives or glues. Later, laser technology is used to produce the marking on the can end's pull tab.
  • the term “marking” encompasses any form of mark provided on the pull tab, including a logo, alphanumeral, symbol, waving, topographic profile, and cut-outs through the tab.
  • marking encompasses any form of mark provided on the pull tab, including a logo, alphanumeral, symbol, waving, topographic profile, and cut-outs through the tab.
  • the earliest marking on either the pull ring tab or the end are “Lift ring to open”, “Dispose of properly”, “Do not litter” and other short messages. Since then, more creative markings in the form of sparkling logo or decorative mark have been used for attractive, promotional and/or co-branding purposes, proof of purchase, genuine product identification, anti-tampering, etc.
  • a sticker-adhering device is engaged to stick the logo- or decorative item-bearing sticker onto the pull tab.
  • the quality of the logo does not last long due to the nature of stickers.
  • GB2320008 discloses a pull tab of a can end comprising a cut-out offset region also acting as a data carrier and can be shaped to correspond to the shape of a discrete portion of a logo.
  • the present invention seeks to overcome the limitations of the previous systems.
  • One of the objects of this invention is to reduce the cost of putting a logo or words on the pull tab.
  • the cost of stamping a pre-formed logo on a pull tab is much cheaper compare to a laser equipment or the printing of stickers and affixing.
  • Another object of this invention is the duration of time required to put a logo on the pull tab. For example, if a piercing process may be employed, the time required to pierce the logo on pull tab is very fast. The process will directly reduce the labour time or cost and this will increase throughput.
  • Still another object of the invention is to give a more lasting logo compare to some prior arts.
  • a plurality of the pull tabs may be formed on a metallic strip prior to the piercing thereon to provide the marking on each said pull tab.
  • a plurality of the marking may also be pierced in suitably spaced apart distances on a metallic strip prior to forming pull tabs around each marking.
  • the plurality of pull tabs and the corresponding marking thereunto on a metallic strip may be formed in a single press.
  • Still another embodiment of the present invention is an apparatus for providing a logo on a pull tab of a can end comprising a forming section for fabricating the pull tab, a piercing section for piercing the logo and a riveting section for affixing the pull tab onto a can end; characterized in that the piercing section is capable of piercing a sign, alpha-numeral, symbol, waving or topographic profile onto a metallic strip before, after or during the fabrication of the pull tabs by means of apertures, pieced out portions, perforations, punch-outs, stamped out portions or cut-outs.
  • the step of affixing the marked pull tab includes removing the pull tab formed from a plurality of such pull tabs pre-formed on a metallic strip prior to affixing said marked pull tab onto said can end by riveting means.
  • the method further comprises a step of folding in the edges of the pull tab to form an all-round lip.
  • the method further comprises the step of providing a score line outlining an aperture on the can end and affixing said pull tab at a point on the end which facilitate tearing of said score line at that point upon the lifting of the pull tab which enables a user to continue tearing along said score line to complete the opening of the aperture.
  • An alternative to the aperture is one that is defined by the score line covering substantially the entire circumference of the end of the can.
  • the fabrication of a can end with a pull tab may be implemented in a single continuous process.
  • Figure 1 shows a can end (1) of a can with the result of a logo pierced on a pull tab (10).
  • the can end (1) comprises of a pull tab (10) rigidly attached to the can end (1), by a rivet (14) or any conventional means, and a tear strip (13) outlined by a score line (18) which can be pushed to tear open by force.
  • the pull tab (10) includes a grip portion (12) and a fixed portion (11).
  • the pull tab (10) is rigidly attached to can end (1) by the rivet (14) and a slit (15) is provided adjacent the fixed portion (11) of the pull tab (10) to act as a lever with the rivet (14).
  • the pull tab (10) pivots at rivet (14) when the grip portion (12) is lifted up and the resultant leverage with the fulcrum around the rivet applies downward force by the fixed portion (11) of the pull tab (10) to open the tear strip (13).
  • the tear strip (13) is designed in such a way that a portion of the tear strip (13) will be torn opened and the remainder of the score line (18) intact with the can end (1). Only when the tear strip (13) is pushed open completely to expose the opening or aperture, can the consumer consume the content of the can.
  • the pull tab (10) is preferably made of metallic material that is easily processed, e.g. aluminium, aluminium alloys, steel or zinc or any other suitable material. The formation of the pull tab (10) can be done in a conversion press.
  • the material allows the machine to easily pierce the desired logo on pull tab (10).
  • logos such as characters, icons, trademarks, etc can be stamped on the pull tab (10) for promotional purposes.
  • a logo (16) is pierced on the pull tab (10) instead of forming a gripping aperture in the tab (10).
  • Figure 2 shows a second embodiment of the invention.
  • the pull tab (10) is similar to the first embodiment in construction and affixed to the can end (21) by rivet (24) with the tear strip (23) includes substantially the entire inner circumference of the can end (21) of a can as defined by a score line (28) which can be torn to open the can end (21) of the can by pulling the pull tab (10).
  • the process of the invention may be implemented by an apparatus in order for producing the pull tab (10) with, for example, a conversion press having piercing system to form the desired logo on the pull tab (10) as shown in a block diagram of Figure 3 .
  • a metallic strip is fed into the forming section (S31) to form the predetermined shape of tabs along the metallic strip without the marking of logo on the grip portion (12) it.
  • the formed tab strip is then fed into a piercing section (S32) to pierce the desired logo by a tooling means on the grab portion of each predetermined shape of tabs on the formed tab strip.
  • the pierced tab strip after exiting the piercing section (S32) is then fed into the riveting section (S33) where pull tabs are removed from the pierced tab strip (S34) and riveted onto the can end (21) of the can.
  • a person skilled in the art may add a folding section (S35) to fold in the sharp edges of the pull tab to provide an all-round lip to enhance the profile of the tab. The location of this folding section S35) is interchangeable between the sections as previously mentioned.
  • Figure 4 shows an alternative method for producing the pull tab (10) using a conversion press having a piercing system to form logos on the pull tab (10).
  • the piercing section (S41) is located before the forming section process (S42).
  • the desired logos are pierced from the metallic strip in a predetermined distance between each pierced logo along said metallic strip (S41) prior to entering into the forming section (S42).
  • the pierced logo will give a more lasting logo on the pull tab (10).
  • the pull tab is then rigidly mounted to the can end by riveting.
  • a painted metallic strip in desired colour may be used with the present invention if coloured pull tab with pierced logo are required.
  • the metallic strip with coated colours may also be used with the present invention.
