| 20140251942 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING A CRIMP CAP, CRIMP CAP AND CONTAINER - The invention relates firstly to a method for producing a crimp cap for a container for receiving a pharmaceutical substance, in particular an ampoule, wherein the crimp cap has a metal foil layer, which is covered over at least on the outside with a layer of plastic forming a covering of the foil layer. In order to provide an advantageous method for producing a crimp cap from a metal foil layer with a layer of plastic forming a covering of the foil layer, while avoiding the risk of particle formation as much as possible, it is proposed that a material strip M having an already plastic-covered foil layer is formed into the crimp cap by punching out and deep drawing. The invention also relates to a crimp cap for a container for receiving a pharmaceutical substance, and also to a container with a pharmaceutical substance. | 09-11-2014 |

| 20090008359 | Reinforced crown cap - The invention “Reinforced Crown Cap” consists of a round plate-type piece with a peripheral radial crimpling allowing for its marginal bending on the neck of a container to be sealed. A Structural Reinforcement is applied on the round plan by deforming steel in the form of high or low relief crimpling with a radial symmetry with no compromise of basic features of Crown Cap which is bottle sealing. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090261056 | TWIST OFF CROWN - A bottle sealed with a crown cap that has a soft feel during removal of the crown cap from the bottle is provided. Such a bottle may include a body and a neck extending up from the body. The neck may include a threaded portion, and a crimped crown cap may be removeably affixed onto the threaded portion. The crimped crown cap may include a circular top member, and a skirt depending downwardly from a periphery of the top member. The skirt may include alternating flutes and lands that are configured such that recesses are formed in a majority of the flutes. Preferably a majority of the recesses contact the threaded portion of the bottle neck. Because of the recesses formed in the flutes, the crown cap may have a soft feel during removal of the crown cap from the bottle. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20100264109 | CROWN-TYPE METAL CAP WITH PROJECTION INDICATING PRESSURE OR VACUUM, AND METHOD FOR MAKING SAME - A crown-type metal cap comprising a central body; a peripheral crown having a continuous series of grooves forming a single structure with the central body; and a substantially semi-spherical projection in the central body which operates in an original state and in changed state with respect to the central body. A method for manufacturing crown-type metal caps with a projection is also described; the method is characterized in that it comprises the steps of applying at least one coating on at least one side of a metal sheet; cutting and shaping the coated metal sheet into individual crown-type metal caps which include a central body and a peripheral crown provided with a continuous series of grooves forming a single structure; and forming a projection in the central body of each of the metal caps. Methods for bottling pressurized beverages and for bottling vacuum beverages using the crown-type metal caps with projection as per the invention are also described. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20110284492 | Closure For A Container - this invention relates to a closure for sealing an opening of a container. In particular, the present invention relates to a closure ( | 11-24-2011 |
| 20120305520 | LOW GAUGE CROWN CAP - A crown cap that may use less steel than a conventional crown cap is disclosed. A crown cap comprises a shell formed of an increased hardness, including a peripheral skirt, a round panel integrally formed with the skirt, the panel including one to three radially symmetric grooves formed therein, each groove spaced apart from a contact portion of the panel that is adapted for contacting the rim of a bottle upon application of the crown cap onto the bottle, and a liner located on the underside of the panel. The radially symmetric grooves may be circular. | 12-06-2012 |
