Abstract

Bei der Herstellung von Aufreissdeckeln (28) aus Deckelringen mit darauf aufgesiegelter Aufreissfolie (25) wird ein Teil der Siegelfläche (26) nach oben zum Deckelrand hin umgebogen, um die Aufreissfolie zu spannen. Dazu wird ein Einspannwerkzeug (30, 31) vorgesehen, um die Siegelfläche mit der Aufreissfolie einzuspannen und ein Presswerkzeug (35), um den nicht eingespannten Siegelflächenabschnitt (26') nach oben zu biegen.

Figure imgaf001
In the manufacture of tear-open lids (28) of lid rings with tear-open foil (25) sealed thereon, a portion of the seal surface (26) is bent upwardly toward the lid edge to tension the tear-open foil. For this purpose, a clamping tool (30, 31) is provided for clamping the sealing surface with the tear-open foil and a pressing tool (35) for bending the unclamped sealing-surface section (26 ') upwards.
