Can end tray.

摘要

An can end tray (1) for storing a plurality of arrays of can ends (w) while the can ends are being conveyed has a substantially rectangular upstanding side wall (2) having a height at least equal to the diameter of the can ends, and a plurality of can end supports (3) on a bottom of said tray for supporting arrays of can ends thereon, said can end supports having a plurality of partitions (8) for holding the arrays of can ends spaced from each other when the arrays of can ends are placed on said can end supports. A plurality of spacers(9) are disposed on said side wall in longitudinal alignment with said can end supports for spacing said side wall and ends of the arrays of can ends from each other when the arrays of can ends are placed on said can end supports. When the arrays of can ends are placed on said can end supports, the spacers extend across the can ends at the ends of the arrays of can ends, defining gaps (x) between said side wall and the can ends at the ends of the arrays of can ends.
