Definitions

  • a can end of reduced diameter is fitted to the necked end of the can body and secured thereto by a rolling operation which forms an end rim of a diameter less than thediameter of the can body.
  • the other end of the can body is flanged outwardly,-a normal sized can end being then fitted thereto, the edgesof the can end and can body flange being rolled to form a rim whose internal diameter is just slightly greater than the reduced-diameter rim of the necked end.
  • such construe tion enables the filled cans to be stacked on top of each other with the reduced-diameter end rim of one can nested in the normal-diameter end of the necked can. This nesting is advantageous in stores wherein cans are stacked on open shelves and also in manufacturing operations wherein two cans are to be joined together and merchandised as a single unit.
  • a can body gripper grips the exterior of a can between its ends and holds the can in axial alignment with a pair of endforming dies, the dies being forced onto the end of the can to produce the desired shape on the can end. After forming, the dies are pulled off the can ends so that the can body is free to be moved to the next station of operations. ln machines wherein the same operation is per formed at both ends of the can, i.e., if the can body is double-flanged or double-necked, little difficulty is experienced in stripping the dies from the can ends, since the pull exerted by one retracting die on the can body is balanced by the opposite pull exerted on the can body by the oppositely retracting die.
  • the can body gripper can hold the can body against axial movement.
  • a severe problem exists if it is desired to simultaneously neck one end of a can body while flanging the other end. With a typical end-flanging die there is very little frictional resistance between the flanging die and the flanged can end thereon, and accordingly very little force is required to hold the can against axial movement as the flanging die is stripped therefrom.
  • the extraction of the flanging die provides substantially no pull to the can to hold the can against movement with the necking die as the necking die is retracted.
  • substantially the entire force on the can body to hold it against axial movement with the retracting necking die must be provided by the can gripper. Since the can gripper forces radially inwardly on the unsupported middle of the can, application of sufficient force to the gripper to hold the can as the necking die is stripped therefrom will result in a buckling of the can body.
  • This object is achieved by forming an outwardly projecting flange on one end of the can body as the other end is being necked, and by then clamping the flanged end of the can firmly to the flanging die adjacent the flange. Since the can body end is fully hacked and sup ported by the pilot portion of the flanging die, the clamping force on the can end can be very substantial without fear of damage or deformation to the can body. With the can body so held, the dies are forced apart to strip the can body from the Thus, for this stripping operation, the grip on the can body is, in effect, shifted from the can body gripper to the flanging die.
  • the can body After the can body has been stripped from the necking die, either completely or sufficiently so that little force is required on the can to hold it against final stripping, the can body is unclamped from the flanging die, the can is held by the can body gripper and the flanging die is stripped from the flanged end. With both dies stripped from the can, the can body is free to be discharged from the can body gripper.

  • Air under pressure from necking die shaft passage 52 passes through the axial passage through mounting screw 79 and to the interior of the flexible sleeve 81.
  • this sleeve When this sleeve is pressurized, it forces all of the pilot segments 78 outwardly to provide a firm support for the can body end as it is being necked while allowing one or more of the die segments to yield inwardly as the can lap 82 is inserted into the die assembly.

  • valve 40 With the necking die retracted, valve 40 has been actuated to supply air under pressure to the can body gripper 34 so that the pivotal arm has been moved to open, or ungripped, position.
  • Cam surface 55 has caused cam follower roller 56 to actuate valve 50 :so that high-pressure air is present in the necking die pilot 75, forcing the pilot segments 78 outwardly.
  • Cam surface 64 has caused cam follower roller 63 to actuate valve to vent the flanging die core allowing the springs 114 to maintain the clamp shoes 112 outwardly from the flanging die.

  • the flanging die cam track 30 stops forward movement of the flanging die and holds the flanging die against axial movement.
  • cam surface 64 causes valve 60 to be actuated to supply air under pressure to pistons 118, causing the flanging die clamps to clamp firmly against the flanged can body.
  • the necking die During travel from position F to G, the necking die continues to move inwardly to form the cylindrical reduced-diameter neck on the can body. During this time axial thrust on the can body imposed by the necking die is fully opposed by the stationary flanging die, and no thrust is imposed on the can body gripper 34.
  • the necking die dwells and at H begins to be retracted by its cam track 23, and to be pulled from the necked end of the can.
  • the necking die pilot is biased by spring 76, and the air pressure in the pilot, to its original position which will aid in stripping the necked end of the can body from the necking die, considerable pull will be exerted on the can by the retracting necking die.
  • This pull is fully opposed by the stationary flanging die which has the opposite end of the can body firmly-clamped thereoto. As a consequence, there is no resultant axial force between the can body and the can body gripper 34 during this stripping operation from the necking die.
  • the necking die pilot is in its original outward position relative to the necking die assembly, and cam surface 55 causes valve 50 to be actuated to vent the necking die pilot, allowing the pilot segments to collapse inwardly.
