Abstract
A system for the beading and flanging of opposed ends of a cylindrical can body wherein the opposed beading and flanging chucks are sequentially withdrawn. Stop means is mounted on the can carrying wheel adjacent the flanging chuck and cooperates with the flanging chuck for a retention of the flanged end of the can therein during the initial removal of the beading chuck which inherently effects a greater frictional engagement with the beaded end of the can. The stop allows a free subsequent withdrawal of the flanging chuck.
