A container assembly including a body and a lid, the lid comprising a rotational and axial guide feature extending radially from a radially interior surface of a lid sidewall. The rotational and axial guide feature is designed to provide axial translation/retention of an accessory when the accessory is rotationally engaged with the lid sidewall. The container and accessory can include an interface that creates a gas impervious/liquid impervious seal therebetween. The seal can be provided between sealing surfaces of the container and the accessory. The lid can include or exclude a bottom wall. The lid can include a score line defining a tear panel in the bottom wall, wherein the tear panel can provide an opening through the bottom wall when the score line is fractured.

Resealable container lid and accessories including methods of manufacture and use

Embodiments provide a tooling station for forming containers that includes a blank and draw punch configured to blank off a portion of stock from a stock element and draw the portion of stock to form a cup. The blank and draw punch includes a blank and draw punch curved edge disposed between a blank and draw punch inner circumferential wall and a blank and draw punch proximal surface. The blank and draw punch curved edge has a radius of curvature that varies along its circumference. The tooling station also includes a draw-redraw die configured to redraw the cup to form a can having a flange. The draw redraw die includes a draw-redraw die curved edge disposed between a draw-redraw die inner circumferential wall and a draw-redraw die proximal surface. The draw-redraw die curved edge has a radius of curvature that varies along its circumference.

Flange projection control system and method

A container lid assembly including a rotational and axial guide feature extending radially from an interior surface of a lid sidewall. The rotational and axial guide feature is designed to provide axial translation and retention of a cap or other accessory when the cap (accessory) is rotationally engaged with the lid sidewall. The cap and lid can include an interface that creates a liquid and gas impervious seal therebetween. The seal can be provided between a bottom surface of the cap and the top surface of the lid, a feature of the sidewalls of the cap and the lid, or any other sealing interface. The lid can include a score line defining a tear panel, wherein the tear panel can be opened when the score line is fractured. The score line can be fractured using a stay-on-tab, an incisor, a shearing force, etc.

A resealable container lid assembly including a cap rotationally assembled to a lid. The cap rotates between storage, opening, removal and resealing positions. Operation between the cap and the lid employs any suitable mechanical interface, such as cam tracks and cam followers. The lid includes a tear panel defined by a score line. Features of the cap are used to impinge upon the lid to fracture the score line and open the tear panel. Once opened, the cap can reseal the container. The seal can be provided between a bottom surface of the cap and the top surface of the lid, a feature of the sidewalls of the cap and the lid, or any other sealing interface. The cap can include a tamper indicator. The cap can be replaced with any of a variety of specialized caps and/or accessories designed for different functions.
