Definitions

  • the present invention relates to metal food cans with reclosable lids. More particularly the invention relates to metal food cans suitable for containing food products and which, once filled, provide a vacuum seal between the can body and the can lid.
  • a closure system is often used that has a peelable foil lid sealed to the upper surface of a bead pressed into the can body adjacent to the opening. Once the lid is peeled off it is of course not possible to tightly reclose the can with that foil lid.
  • a plastic overcap is typically provided and which is press-fitted over the can body opening above the foil lid. The plastic overcap also provides protection for the relatively weak foil lid during transit and storage. As it is desirable to allow customers to see the foil and verify its integrity prior to purchase, the plastic overcap is often fully or at least partially transparent.
  • EP3543157 describes a can body of a single homogeneous piece of material comprising: an edge defining an upper opening into the body: an inwardly directed pinched or collapsed bead pressed into and extending around the can body adjacent to said edge, the pinched or collapsed bead defining a flange providing an upwardly facing sealing surface; and an inwardly directed bead extending around the body between the edge and the pinched or collapsed bead.
  • the can body is configured such that a lid can be press or snap fitted into the upper opening and retained in sealing engagement between the two beads.
  • Embodiments of the present invention provide a metal food can that provides an air and liquid tight seal combined with a means for allowing consumers to verify the integrity of the seal prior to first opening, whilst avoiding the need for a plastics overcap.
  • the can body and the lid are dimensioned to allow the lid to be press-fitted into the can body so that an outwardly facing surface of said wall opposes the inwardly facing sealing surface of said bead, whilst said sealing compound is in sealing engagement with said upwardly facing sealing surface of the bead.
  • the can body may be a single piece can body and said inwardly directed bead is pressed into the can body.
  • the can body may comprise an annular can end component fixed to a can body wall, said component defining the inwardly directed bead.
  • the centre panel defines a pop-up button within a central region thereof, such that the button is depressed when the lid is engaged with the can body and a partial vacuum is present within the can and is in a raised position when the partial vacuum is released.
  • the can body and the lid may be dimensioned to provide a gap of at least 1 mm between an outermost edge of said curl and an inner surface of said top opening.
  • a gap between the upwardly facing sealing surface of the bead and a top of the edge may be approximately 3mm.
  • the can body may comprise a sheet of metal rolled into a cylinder with a welded seam joining the opposed edges of the sheet.
  • the can body may comprise a base secured to the can body to close a bottom opening of the can body.
  • the edge of the can body may be a curled edge.
  • the radially outermost region of the inwardly directed bead may be collapsed in an axial direction to substantially close the bead to an area surrounding the can body.
  • the inwardly directed bead may have a substantially oval axial cross-sectional shape.
  • the upwardly facing sealing surface and the inwardly facing surface defined by the bead may be substantially convex.
  • the outwardly facing surface of the lid wall may be substantially flat.
  • Figures 1 to 4 illustrate a can 10 (for example, a food can or "tin") comprising a metal can body 20 and a metal lid 30.
  • the can body 20 has an upper curled edge 21, or rim, defining a top opening into the body 20, and comprises an inwardly directed bead 22 extending circumferentially around the body 20 adjacent to the top opening.
  • the top of the bead 22 is spaced approximately 3mm from the top of the edge 21.
  • the inwardly directed bead 22 defines a substantially upwardly facing sealing surface 25 and an inwardly facing sealing surface 26.
  • the metal lid 30 has a centre panel 31, a wall 32 surrounding the centre panel 31 and an outwardly directed curl 34 at the top of the wall 32.
  • the curl 34 defines a circumferentially extending channel 35 having an opening 37 therein. Sealing compound such as plastisol 36 is located within the channel 35 and projects through the opening 37.
  • the can body 20 and the lid 30 are dimensioned to allow the lid 30 to be press-fitted into the can body 20, so that an outwardly facing surface 38 of the lid wall 32 abuts the inwardly facing sealing surface 26 of the bead 22, and the sealing compound 36 is in sealing engagement with the upwardly facing sealing surface 25 of the bead 22.
