Metal bottle type container and related methodology
A container is disclosed that has a drawn and ironed aluminum container body. The container body includes a body portion with a relatively constant outer diameter and a varying diameter neck portion integrally connected to the body portion and terminating in an opening. The container body is constructed and arranged to receive, without crushing deformation, a metal crown applied by conventional glass bottle crowning equipment.
A metal drawn and ironed bottle type container accepts a conventional glass bottle crown applied by conventional bottle crowning equipment. In alternate embodiments, inserts or outserts may be used in conjunction with metal bottle type containers to provide finish areas that are compatible with either twist-off crowns or pry-off crowns.
The drive housing (26) of a bodymaker (20) carries a major ring (32) in stationary position and a planetary ring carrier (36, 46) for rotation on the central axis of the major ring. The planetary ring carrier (36, 46) carries a minor planetary ring (34) in internal engagement with the major ring (32) for rotation on its own axis in rolling orbit against the inside circumference of the major ring (32). A crank (54) is connected to rotate with the planetary ring and provides a journal (56) positioned at the circumference of the planetary ring (34) for drivingly engaging a ram (60). The diameter of the planetary ring (34) is one-half the diameter of the major ring (32), establishing a straight-line path of movement for the journal (56) along an axis (X-X) parallel to a selected diameter of the major ring (32). A frame (22, 72) supports ram (60) in suitable position with respect to drive housing (26) for straight-line reciprocation on the axis (X-X) parallel to the selected diameter. A second ram (66) may extend in the opposite direction from the crank pin (56) on a same or parallel axis (X-X) to establish a double-action bodymaker (20).
