vibratingly pressed a wall off the container (32) and the flange (28) to
each other, a head (14) at the opposite end of the head (14) for
maintaining an annular, radially inner portion of the flange (28) spaced
axially outwards from the annular surface portion of the anvil (2), the
outer periphery of the ring (16) being radially dimensioned to be
received in the recess (20).
