Auto sealing pressure container

Abstract

A method for the design of a pressure vessel which incorporates two ends of a straight wall cylinder which are capped and sealed to form a container capable of holding the vessel contents under pressure. This method is applicable to metal as well as non-metal vessels and to vessels having unusual shapes or combinations of such geometries, such as square, oval, triangular, complex and irregular curves or combinations. The vessel may be made on a continuous basis from endless lengths of vessel stock continuously cut to length. This method of making the pressure container for food or beverage packaging comprises the steps of fabricating a vessel, cutting the vessel to desired length, placing a means of support in the bottom of the vessel, applying a sealant material to the means of support to form a sealant bed at the bottom of the vessel, placing a bottom end onto the sealant bed within the vessel, placing a top end onto the bottom end within the vessel, where the top end contains at least a small amount of the magnetic material, placing a second means of support at the top of the vessel, applying a sealant material to the means of support to form a sealant bed at the top of the vessel, filling with vessel with contents, and drawing the top end to a position contiguous to the sealant bed at the top of the vessel by a magnetic means and sealing said vessel.
