1,272,825. Can ends. METAL BOX CO. Ltd. 3 June, 1970 [17 July, 1969], No. 36153/69. Heading B8D. [Also in Division B3] A stamped metal can end, which is to be seamed to a can body 8 (see Division B3), comprises an annular seaming panel consisting of a curved flange 3a extending outwardly and upwardly from a chuck wall 2 and terminating in a downwardly-dependent hook portion 4a inclined towards the chuck wall. The free edge 5 of the hook portion is spaced from the chuck wall so as to permit the entry of the can body flange 7a. The can end and body are seamed together in such a manner that the length of the hook portion is substantially unchanged in the finished seam. When the metal of the can ends is thinner than 0À0066 inch, the hook portion may be longitudinally-fluted at 9.
