Abstract

A metal bottle can comprises a mouth part having a curl portion at the end, a neck part having a straight part in parallel to the can axis, a taper-shaped shoulder part, a barrel part, and a bottom part. The metal bottle can is integrally formed from a primitive plate of the thickness (wall thickness T) of 0.48 mm to 0.30 mm by drawing-processed. The metal bottle can has the barrel part with the diameter A of 40 mm to 70 mm, the neck part with the diameter B of 20 mm to 35 mm, the straight portion of the neck part with the length S of 10 mm to 40 mm, the shoulder part with the angle α of 40 degrees to 70 degrees, the mouth part with the wall thickness X of 0.46 mm to 0.33 mm, and straight portion of the neck part with the wall thickness Y of 0.43 mm to 0.30 mm.

Claims (29)

1. A metal bottle can comprising a mouth part having a curl portion at an end, a neck part having a straight portion in parallel to a can axis, a shoulder part having a tapered shape, a barrel part, and a bottom part,

wherein the curl portion has a diameter-contracted portion extending inwardly and upwardly at an upper end of the mouth part, said diameter-contracted portion having a diameter that is contracted as compared to a diameter of the straight portion of the neck part, a standing-up portion extending upward from an upper end of the diameter-contracted portion, an upper flexion portion formed on an upper end of the standing-up portion, an outward protruded bend portion expanding outward and extending downward smoothly from the upper flexion portion, a lower flexion portion formed on a lower end of the bend portion, and a straight-line portion extending straightly inwardly to the diameter-contracted portion from the lower flexion portion,

wherein a diameter A of the barrel part is 40 mm to 70 mm, a diameter B of the neck part is 20 mm to 35 mm, a length S of the straight portion of the neck part is 10 mm to 40 mm, an angle α of the shoulder part is 40 degree to 70 degree, a wall thickness X of the mouth part is 0.46 mm to 0.33 mm, and a wall thickness Y of the straight portion of the neck part is 0.43 mm to 0.30 mm, and

wherein the metal bottle can is integrally formed by drawing a primitive plate of thickness (wall thickness T) of 0.48 mm to 0.30 mm.

2. A metal bottle can according to claim 1 ,

wherein a wall thickness Z of the shoulder part is 0.22 mm to 0.12 mm and a wall thickness W of the barrel part is 0.22 mm to 0.12 mm.

3. A metal bottle can according to claim 1 ,

wherein a wall thickness X′ of the curl portion is 0.48 mm to 0.35 mm, an angle θ between a straight line portion of the curl portion and the horizontal line of the curl portion is 0≦θ≦25 degrees, a radius of a curvature R of a lower portion of the curl portion is 0.5 mm≦R≦1.0 mm, or

wherein a wall thickness X′ of the curl portion is 0.48 mm to 0.35 mm, an angle θ′ between a straight line portion of the curl portion and the horizontal line of the curl portion is 0≦θ′≦25 degrees, a radius of a curvature R′ of a lower portion of the curl portion is 0.5 mm≦R′≦1.0 mm.

4. A metal bottle can according to claim 1 ,

wherein an easily openable cap is wound and fastened to the curl portion.

5. A metal bottle can according to claim 1 ,

wherein an outer diameter C of a recessed portion of the mouth part is smaller than a diameter B of the straight portion of the neck part, so that a tongue piece which connects a top surface wall of an easily openable cap and a pull tab is along a wall surface of the recessed portion of the mouth portion of the metal bottle can.

6. A metal bottle can according to claim 1 ,

wherein a diameter of the straight portion of the neck part is lengthened to the lower portion of the curl portion.

7. A metal bottle can according to claim 1 , wherein a tapered portion is formed between the neck part and the mouth part.

8. A metal bottle can comprising a mouth part having a curl portion at an end and a male screw portion formed at a periphery, a neck part having a straight portion in parallel to a can axis, a shoulder part having a tapered shape, a barrel part, and a bottom part,

wherein the curl portion has a diameter-contracted portion extending inwardly and upwardly at an upper end of the mouth part, said diameter-contract portion having a diameter that is contracted as compared to a diameter of the straight portion of the neck part, a standing-up portion extending upward from an upper end of the diameter-contracted portion, an upper flexion portion formed on an upper end of the standing-up portion, an outward protruded bend portion expanding outward and extending downward smoothly from the upper flexion portion, a lower flexion portion formed on a lower end of the bend portion, and a straight-line portion extending straightly inwardly to the diameter-contracted portion from the lower flexion portion,

wherein a diameter A of the barrel part is 40 mm to 70 mm, an angle α of the shoulder part is 40 degree to 70 degree, a wall thickness E of the mouth part is 0.45 mm to 0.32 mm, and a wall thickness F of the straight portion of the neck part is 0.40 mm to 0.30 mm, and

wherein the metal bottle can is integrally formed by drawing a primitive plate of thickness (wall thickness T) of 0.48 mm to 0.30 mm.

9. A metal bottle can according to claim 8 ,

wherein the metal bottle can has a neck part which does not have a straight portion in parallel to the can axis.

10. A metal bottle can according to claim 8 ,

wherein a wall thickness G of the shoulder part having the tapered shape is 0.33 mm to 0.20 mm, and a wall thickness H of the barrel part is 0.22 mm to 0.12 mm.

11. A metal bottle can comprising a mouth part having a curl portion at an end, a neck part having a straight portion in parallel to a can axis, a shoulder part having a tapered shape, a barrel part, and a bottom part,

wherein the curl portion has a diameter-contracted portion extending inwardly and upwardly at an upper end of the mouth part, said diameter-contracted portion having a diameter which is contracted as compared to a diameter of the straight portion of the neck part, a standing-up portion extending upward from an upper end of the diameter contracted portion, an upper flexion portion formed on an upper end of the standing-up portion, an outward protruded bend portion expanding outward and extending downward smoothly from the upper flexion portion, a lower flexion portion formed on a lower end of the bend portion, and a straight-line portion extending straight inwardly to the diameter-contracted portion from the lower flexion portion,

wherein the metal bottle can is integrally formed by drawing a primitive plate of a predetermined thickness.

12. A metal bottle can according to claim 11 , wherein a tapered portion is formed between the neck part and the mouth part.

13. A metal bottle can according to claim 12 , wherein a diameter of the straight portion of the neck part is lengthened to a lower portion of the curl portion.
