Abstract
Abstract D R A W I N G A COINED INDENTATION AT THE BENDING LINE OF AN EASYOPEN CAN END TEAR STRIP. THE INDENTATION HAS NEARLY VERTICAL SIDE WALLS OF INCREASED THICKNESS AND THE METAL BETWEEN THE COINED AREA AND THE TEAR-STRIP SEVERING SCORE IS IN COMPRESSION. THIS PREVENTS THE FORMATION OF CRACKS IN THE SCORE AND INCREASES THE STRENGTH OF THE STRIP TO PREVENT ITS BREAKING WHEN A CREASE IS FORMED WHEN THE CAN IS OPENED IMPROPERLY.
