Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an apparatus for working metallic bodies, such as for example cylindrical metallic containers for spray cans or aerosol cans.
- Apparatuses are known for working containers, typically made of aluminum or steel and constituted by blanks having a cylindrical cross-section, obtained by extrusion or drawing and provided, at a longitudinal end, with a bottom wall and, at the opposite end, with a free edge on which a tapering operation is to be performed in order to obtain usually a mouth on which for example a thread adapted to be associated with a plug for closing the container or a rim is provided.
- Usually, these apparatuses are constituted by a supporting frame for a carousel that can rotate intermittently about a main rotation axis and forms, at its peripheral region, a plurality of supporting seats for the respective metallic bodies to be worked, which are fed to the carousel by means of a feeder.
