Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2589911A] A can 10 comprises a metal can body 20 and a metal lid 30. The can body has an edge 21 defining a top opening into the body, and an inwardly directed bead 22 extending around the body adjacent to the top opening. The bead defines an upwardly facing sealing surface 25 and an inwardly facing surface 26. The lid 30 has a centre panel 31, a wall 32 surrounding the centre panel, and an outwardly directed curl 34 at the top of the wall. The curl defines a peripherally extending channel 35 having an opening 37 therein, and a sealing compound 36 is located within the channel and projects through the opening. The can body and the lid are dimensioned to allow the lid to be press-fitted into the can body, so that an outwardly facing surface of the wall opposes the inwardly facing sealing surface of the bead, whilst the sealing compound is in sealing engagement with the upwardly facing sealing surface of the bead.
