<p>The process of the present invention allows the manufacture of lacquered aluminum or tin-plate rings which have the inner edge thereof bent over outwards so that they are suitable for the closures on cans for foodstuffs. A ring blank made of lacquered sheet is pre-shaped by deep drawing to form the curvature needed for bending over the inner cut edge. The final shaping of the pre-shaped blank into a ring for a can lid takes place, after stamping out the opening, by stretching and bending over the cut edge. When a tear-back membrane is sealed on to the bent-over edge, the ring is suitable as an easyly opened closure for cans for foodstuffs.</p> |
