Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0209890A1] 1. A device for closing containers (13), preferably pre-prepared food dishes, which in each case comprise a circumferential rim flange (14), by means of a flexible lid (10) formed entirely or partially from metallic ribbon or metal foil, which device (9) comprises a flanging frame (23) divided into a plurality of displaceable sections (23'), which are used for flanging the respective lid (10) around the rim flange of the respective container, the sections (23') of the flanging frame (23) being displaceably held and guided on at least one retaining part (19) by means of hinged bars (21, 22) and the device also comprising at least one upper part (11), which is displaceable relative to the retaining part (19) and against which the respective lid (10) can come to rest, characterised in that the sections (23') of the flanging frame (23) can be held and guided on the retaining part (19), of which there is at least one, by means of link quadrilaterals (60) which comprise the hinged bars (21, 22), such that the link quadrilaterals (60) allow for the inward and upward movements of the sections (23') relative to at least one upper part (11), which movements are necessary for the flanging.
