Abstract

The invention relates to a pressurized can, such as an aerosol can, having a bottom comprising a panel connected via a countersink and a foot to the can body wall, which bottom has a panel with a substantially non-concave form.

Claims (23)

1. A pressurized metal can having a bottom comprising a panel connected with a panel radius (R 4 ) to a countersink having a panel wall angle (A 2 ), a foot wall angle (A 1 ), and a countersink radius (R 3 ), which countersink is connected to a foot having a foot radius (R 2 ) and the foot is connected to a can body wall, which panel has a substantially non-concave form, wherein

the foot wall angle (A 1 ) is in the range of about 0 to 45°;

a panel wall angle (A 2 ) is in the range of about 0-45°;

the foot radius (R 2 ) is in the range of about 0.5 to 1.5 mm;

the countersink radius (R 3 ) is in the range of about 0.5 to 1.5 mm;

the panel radius (R 4 ) is in the range of about 1 to 1.5 mm;

a unit depth (H 1 ) is in the range of about 5-15 mm;

a panel depth (H 2 ) is in the range of about 2-10 mm; and

a center panel radius (R 5 ) is larger than about 20 mm,

wherein the can has a diameter in the range of about 20-80 mm, a bottom thickness in the range of 0.2-0.7 mm, and a pressure resistance up to about 15 bar.

2. The pressurized metal can according to claim 1 , wherein the pressurized can is an aerosol can.

3. The pressurized metal can according to claim 1 , wherein a panel wall angle (A 2 ) is in the range of about 2-35°.

4. The pressurized metal can according to claim 1 , wherein a panel outer ring slope (A 3 ) is in the range of about 0-35°.

5. The pressurized metal can according to claim 1 , wherein a panel outer ring width (L 1 ) is within the range of about 0-15 mm.

6. The pressurized metal can according to claim 1 , wherein a foot outer radius (R 13 ) is less than about 5 mm.

7. The pressurized metal can according to claim 1 , wherein a foot height (H 11 ) is in the range of about 1-7 mm.

8. The pressurized metal can according to claim 1 made of at least one of the following: steel, aluminum, 3000 series aluminum, or any combination thereof.

9. The pressurized metal can according to claim 1 , wherein a panel outer ring slope (A 3 ) is in the range of about 2-20°.

10. The pressurized metal can according to claim 1 , wherein a panel outer ring width (L 1 ) is within the range of about 1-5 mm.

11. The pressurized metal can according to claim 1 , wherein a foot outer radius (R 13 ) is less than about 0.5-1.5 mm.

12. The pressurized metal can according to claim 1 , wherein a foot height (H 11 ) is in the range of about 2-5 mm.

13. The pressurized metal can according to claim 1 , having a diameter in the range of 30-70 mm.

14. The pressurized metal can according to claim 1 , having a pressure resistance of up to about 18 bar.
