1,072,185. Seaming non-metallic sheet material. KALLE A.G. Oct. 7, 1964 [April 1, 1964], No. 40922/64. Heading B5K. [Also in Division B8] Juxtaposed flattened marginal zones of body and lid portions of thermoplastic containers are joined for subsequent ready separation and reclosing, by being heated and then curled together to form inter-engaged beads. Two opposed rims may be so joined or a single rim 9 of two hinged members, Fig. 12. Containers fed forward by a conveyer 2 have their margins or rims on one or both sides fed into a slot in a heating element 5a followed by the initial stage of the curling device 5b, the slot 14 of which gradually reduces as the bore 12 moves towards the container as at 5c, Fig. 7. The stage 5b may also include heaters 11 and a bore 13 for cooling process may be provided in the final stage.
