FIG. 1 shows theinitial part 1′ of a lid disk, which consists of a flat paper section or cardboard cut to the shape of the lid. In plan view, the initial part can be round, oval, kidney-shaped or otherwise shaped, depending on the desired shape of the lid. On itsunderside 1 a, theinitial part 1′ has a coating suitable for producing a material bond, preferably in the form of a sealing medium, in particular a sealing layer or sealing film, which is not shown here, however. The sealing medium can, for example, be laminated, extruded or applied as a sealing lacquer. It consists, for example, of PE (polyethylene). - A barrier layer (not shown) can be arranged between the sealing medium and the
underside 1 a of the lid disk (e.g. in the form of a ceramic coating or made of aluminum foil, PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or EVOH (ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer). - The conically protruding
lid disk 1 in sectional view is shown inFIG. 2 . This has anedge region 4 on the outer circumference and a substantially flat region 1.1 offset from it by aconical shoulder 5. This can be flat, as shown here, or curved in the direction of the edge or in the opposite direction thereto. Furthermore, the substantially planar area may contain one or more beads (not shown). - The
lid ring 2 shown inFIG. 3 was preferably made of paper by a winding process and in particular spirally wound. Thelid ring 2 has a circumferentially closedwall 3, the course of which is adapted to the shape of the cover to be produced and thus to the lid disk 1 (e.g. round, oval, kidney-shaped, etc.). Thelid ring 2 has a longitudinal axis L2 and an inside diameter d2. - The
wall 3 has aninner surface 3A and anouter surface 3B, and afirst end 3C and an oppositesecond end 3D. - In addition or as an alternative to the
lid disk 1 with sealing medium, theinner surface 3A and/or theouter surface 3B of thelid ring 2 can also be provided with sealing medium, as described for thelid disk 1, at least in the area of connection with thelid disk 1, and may also have a barrier layer. - To establish the connection between
lid disk 1 andlid ring 2, thelid ring 1 is placed on thefirst end 3C of the cover sleeve 2 (seeFIG. 4 ). Advantageously, theconical shoulder 5 serves to center thecover sleeve 2 or thelid disk 1 to thelid ring 2. - Now, by means of appropriate tools not shown, the upper unmarked area of the
wall 3 of thecover sleeve 2 is formed radially inwards in the direction of the longitudinal axis L2 (indicated by the arrows facing inwards) and theedge region 4 of thelid disk 1 is bent downwards (indicated by the arrows facing downwards). In this process, theedge region 4 of thecover sleeve 1 is pressed against theouter surface 3B and theconical shoulder 5 of thecover sleeve 1 is pressed against theinner surface 3A of thecover sleeve 2, and the material bond is produced under pressure and heat, in particular by sealing, between thelid disk 1 and thelid ring 2. The temperature required for sealing is usually between 100° C. and 350° C. depending on the sealing medium and, for example, between 120° C. and 200° C. for PE as the sealing medium. - After forming and producing the material bond, the lid D is finished and the
lid disk 1 has a U-shaped region 1.2 at the edge (seeFIGS. 5 and 6 ), in which thewall 3 of thelid ring 2 engages, wherein thewall 3 is materially bonded to the U-shaped region 1.2 at itsinner surface 3A and at itsouter surface 3B. In the region of thelid disk 1, the lid D has a cup-like recess 6.1 with a depth t1 and an inside diameter d1. - In the area of the
lid disk 1, the lid D has an outer diameter D1. - The
wall 3 has an inner diameter d2 after the shoulder 3.1 up to thesecond end 3D. - From the detail according to
FIG. 6 , it can be seen that the U-shaped region 1.1 adjoining the substantially flat region 1.1 has an inner first wall section 1.3 (leg) which is joined to theinner surface 3A of the wall of thelid ring 2, and that a second wall section 1.4 (leg) is joined to theouter surface 3B of thewall 3 of thelid ring 2 in a materially bonded manner (preferably by sealing). The first and second wall sections 1.3, 1.4 of thelid disk 1 and theend 3C of thewall 3 of thelid ring 2 located therebetween are oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis L2 of thelid ring 2, wherein the first and second wall sections 1.3, 1.4 extend substantially rectilinearly. - The first wall section 1.3 and the second wall section 1.4 of the U-shaped area 1.2 of the
lid disk 1 are connected to each other via a third wall section 1.5. - The
wall 3 is retracted radially inwards/in the direction of the longitudinal axis L2 at theend 3C that engages the U-shaped region 1.2 of thelid disk 1, forming a shoulder 3.1 below the second wall section 1.4 of the U-shaped region. - The inner diameter d2 of the
wall 3 from the shoulder 3.1 to thesecond end 3D is slightly larger than the outer diameter D1 in the area of thelid disk 1, so that for stacking the inner diameter d2 of a lid D can be slipped over the outer diameter D1 of thelid disk 1 of another lid D. Thesecond end 3D of a lid D then rests on the shoulder 3.1 of the other lid D. - The
wall 3 of thelid sleeve 2 has an outer diameter D2 from the shoulder 3.1 to thesecond end 3D. -
FIG. 7 shows an example of four lids D stacked one on top of the other in longitudinal section. The upper lid D engages in each case with its inner diameter d2 of the lower region of thelid sleeve 2 over the outer diameter D1 of the second wall section of the U-shaped region, which is not designated here, and thus the outer diameter D1 of thelid disk 1. -
FIG. 8 shows a lid D according to the invention which is not stackable. This also has alid disk 1 with a substantially flat region 1.1 and an externally adjoining U-shaped region 1.1 with an inner first wall section 1.3 (leg), which is connected to theinner surface 3A of thewall 3 of thelid ring 2, and a second wall section 1.4 (leg), which is connected in a materially bonded manner to theouter surface 3B of thewall 3 of the lid ring 2 (preferably by sealing). The first and second wall sections 1.3, 1.4 of thelid disk 1 and theend 3C of thewall 3 of thelid ring 2 located therebetween are also oriented here substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis L2 of thelid ring 2, wherein the first and second wall sections 1.3, 1.4 extend substantially in a straight line. The first wall section 1.3 and the second wall section 1.4 of the U-shaped region 1.2 of thelid disk 1 are connected to each other via a third wall section 1.5. Thewall 3 of thelid ring 2 extends rectilinearly and parallel to the longitudinal axis L2 over the entire length of the lid ring. - In both embodiment variants—stackable and non-stackable—the lid D according to the invention thus consists of two parts in the form of
lid disk 1 andlid ring 2, which are connected to one another by a material bond. The straight connection areas betweenlid disk 1 andlid ring 2 create a lid D that extends essentially in a straight line. - The method for producing a stackable lid using the appropriate tools will be explained below by way of example.
- Firstly, a protruding
conical lid disk 2 is produced which has anedge region 4 and a flat region 1.1 offset by aconical shoulder 5. - As shown in
FIG. 9 , thelid ring 2 is positioned with its inner diameter d2 on the undesignated outer diameter of alower die 6, so that thefirst end 3C of thewall 3 of thelid ring 2 projects by a length L beyond a radially inwardly pointing shoulder 6.1 of thelower die 6. Now the advancedconical lid ring 1 is placed with the underside of itsedge region 4 on thefirst end 3C of thewall 3 and positioned here on the outer circumference of theconical shoulder 5. - An
upper die 7 now moves downward and holds thelid ring 1 by fixing it in the radius between theconical shoulder 5 and the flat region 1.1 with a circumferential edge 7.1 against the radially inner end of the shoulder 6.1 of thelower die 6. Theupper die 7 has an outer diameter D7 which corresponds to the subsequent inner diameter d1 of thelid disk 1 of the finished lid D. - Now a
ring punch 8 moves from the direction of theupper die 7 in the direction of thelower die 6. - In the direction of the
lower die 6, thering punch 8 has an inner diameter 8d 2 which corresponds to the outer diameter D2 of thelid ring 2 or is slightly larger. The diameter 8d 2 is adjoined by a radially inward slope 8.1 which extends essentially parallel to the shoulder 6.1 of thelower die 6. The slope is adjoined by an inside diameter 8d 1 which corresponds approximately to the outside diameter D1 of the finished lid D in the area of thelid disk 1. - The die is heated at least in the area of the joining zone between
lid disk 1 andlid ring 2, but this is not shown. - The final position of the
ring punch 8 is shown inFIG. 10 . During its stroke movement in the direction of the lower die, theedge region 4 of thelid disk 1 was formed downward and pressed against the outer diameter of thelid ring 2. As a result of the slope 8.1 and the subsequent smaller inside diameter 8d 1 of thering punch 8, the upper region 3 c of thelid ring 2, theadjacent edge region 4 and theconical region 5 of thelid disk 2 were pressed radially inward against the outside diameter D7 of theupper die 7. - The pressure and the sealing temperature (preferably between 120° C. and 300° C.) produce a material bond between the
lid disk 1 and thelid ring 2 in the region in which thefirst end 3C of thewall 3 of the lid ring is now located between the wall regions 1.3 and 1.4 of thelid disk 1. The undesignated gap formed between the outer diameter D7 and the inner diameter 8d 1 is slightly less than the sum of the thicknesses of the wall regions 1.3, 1.4 of thelid disk 2 and thewall 3 of thelid ring 2 located therebetween, as a result of which the pressure is built up by their compression. - After the sealing process has been completed, the
ring punch 8 moves upwards, thelower die 6 and theupper die 7 are opened and the lid is ejected by means of an ejector not shown. - It is also possible to make the indent of the
first end 3C of thewall 3 of thelid ring 2 before or after the connection with the lid disk. - This is carried out, for example, as indicated in
FIG. 11 , by rolling displacement of thewall 3 between an outer roller 9 (or an outer rail) and aninner roller 10. These have a mutually corresponding contour corresponding to the wall indent to be produced. The advantage here is that this process can also be used to simultaneously produce a circumferential bead in the wall area of the lid sleeve, which is present in a large number of lids. - According to
FIG. 12 , theedge region 4 and theconical region 5 of thelid disk 1 are then also formed against and sealed to the radially inwardly formed area of the wall of thelid ring 2. - A stackable lid D according to the invention is shown in
FIG. 13 . This is closed at the top by thelid disk 1, which is materially bonded to thelid ring 2. The outer diameter D1 in the region of thelid disk 1 is smaller than the outer diameter D2 in the region of thelid ring 2, thus forming a shoulder 3.1. - The inner diameter of the lid D, which is not designated here, reaches over the outer diameter D1 for stacking.
