Apparatus for making tapered four-sided sheet metal containers comprises a tapered four-sided mould 42 and folding means 26.1 for folding a sheet metal blank onto the mould. The folding means comprises a carrier 28 and four folding elements 30, 32 pivotally mounted on the carrier. When the mould and the folding means are displaced towards one another with the sheet metal blank 10 disposed between them, the folding elements pivot about their pivotal mountings and fold peripheral portions of the blank onto the sides of the mould. |
