<p>The invention concerns a method for preparing and forming an easy gripable and flat lying retortable lid having a lid ring (2) extending radially outside in a curl shape adapted to be seamed to a body flange of a container body, and extending radially inside in a substantially flat flange, sealed with an edge ring (3b) of a central foil (3), covering an inner opening (8) of the lid ring, radially inside of the inner end of the flat flange (2b). The central foil having a tab (10) extending from a radially outer end radially inside, and lying substantially parallel and close to an upper surface of the central foil (3). The tab has two radially extending portions, an outer one (10a) and an inner one (10b). The inner portion (10b) rising axially upward, during a press or squeeze operation (F ax ;30,40) in an intermediate portion (10c) between the inner and outer portions, to force the inner portion (10b) away from the foil surface and keep the outer portion substantially parallel to the foil. The lid is concerned as well. The lid comprises a lid ring (Deckelring) and a lid foil (membrane), which work together and are coupled together by a sealing portion which seals in ring-like fashion the membrane to a panel of the lid ring.</p> |
