An apparatus for flanging an edge of a can body includes a flanging tool which has an inner tool part having an outer circumferential flanging face for engaging an inner surface of a circumferential edge zone of the can body; an outer tool part surrounding the inner tool part and having an inner circumferential abutment face surrounding the flanging face for abutting a periphery of the can body edge during flanging of the can body edge by the flanging face; an axially hollow, non-rotatable spindle to which the outer tool part is affixed and which has a first axis; a rotary shaft received in the spindle and having a second axis coinciding with the first axis; and a shaft stub affixed to and extending from the shaft. The inner tool part is rotatably mounted on the shaft stub which has a central, third axis disposed at an inclination to the second axis. The second and third axes intersect in a point situated substantially at an axial location corresponding to an axial location of the flanging face of the inner tool part.

Apparatus for flanging can bodies

An apparatus for serially conveying receptacle lids includes two lid-advancing wheels each having a plurality of circumferentially spaced peripheral pockets for receiving individual lids. The wheels peripherally adjoin one another in a border zone for transferring the lids from one wheel to the other. The apparatus further has a supporting surface situated underneath the wheels for supporting the lids as the lids are advanced by the wheels. An annular guide surrounds the wheels externally of the border zone for retaining the lids in the wheel pockets. A pin is mounted on at least one of the wheels at one of the pockets thereof; the pin is held displaceably relative to the wheel carrying the pin. Further, the pin has an upper position for engaging a radially inner part of a shoulder of the lid to retain the lid in the pocket adjoining pin. Further, the pin has a lower position for releasing the lid shoulder to allow a displacement of the lid relative to the pocket. A control device displaces the pin during rotation of the wheels.

Apparatus for serially conveying receptacle lids

A method of drying cans to be covered with a layer of varnish and/or a printed upon layer, according to which the can body is brought into snug body engagement with a heating body along that can surface which is located opposite the can surface to be covered with the layer while the temperature of the heating body is controlled in conformity with the maximum temperature for hardening the layer to be applied to the respective can.
