PATCH TOP CONTAINER END AND CLOSURE MEMBER ASSEMBLY, AND METHOD FOR FORMING THE SAME

摘要

An assembly of a patch top container end and a reusable circumferentially-flanged closure member is disclosed, together with a method for forming the container end and introducing the same within the closure member, characterized in that the container end includes a circumferential tab portion which is folded back through an angle of 180 DEG to a position between the body portion of the container end and the body portion of the closure member. The closure member is then mounted on the open end of a container with the closure member flange extending about the container, the container end being bonded to the extremity of the container end by a temperature or pressure responsive material.
