Abstract
Apparatus (110, 180, 270, 330, or 360) either reforms a circumferential part (86) of a container body (11) radially outward to form a container body (64), or reforms a plurality of circumferentially-spaced parts (74) of the bottom recess portion (25) of a container body (11) radially outward to form a container body (62). The apparatus (110, 180, 270, 330, or 360) includes a body (158, 230, 288, 332, or 365) and has a tooling element attached thereto which may be a roller (172, 246, 302, or 350) or a swaging element (392). Means is included for providing relative transverse movement between the container body (11) and the tooling element (172, 246, 302, 346, or 392). Means (160, 222, 296, or 332) is provided for providing relative rotary movement between the container body (11) and the tooling element (172, 246, 302, or 346) in all embodiments except the apparatus (360) in which the bottom recess portion (25) is swaged. The method includes providing relative transverse movement between the container body (11) and the tooling element (172, 246, 302, 346, or 392), and in all embodiments except the one (360) in which reworking is achieved by swaging, relative rotary movement between the container body (11) and the tooling element (172, 246, 302, or 346) is provided.
