<p>A continuous curl formed on the periphery of a can end component prior to the first and second operations of double seaming the can end component to an end of a can body has an inner annular portion of a configuration substantially that of a surface of revolution generated by three successive merging arcs including an inner arc struck by a first radius R1, a middle arc struck by a second radius R2, and an outer arc struck by a third radius R3, where R1> R2> R3, and an outer annular portion of a configuration substantially that of a generally planar surface which is parallel to a plane formed by the innermost marginal edge of the inner arc of the inner annular portion of the continuous curl. A curler tool for forming the continuous curl has a curl-forming groove which has a contour substantially the same as the configuration of the inner and outer annular portions of the continuous curl formed by the curler tool.</p> |
