Container Bottom, Method Of Manufacture, And Method Of Testing
US Patent:
7398894, Jul 15, 2008
Filed:
Nov 8, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/983841
Inventors:
Mahesh Rajagopalan - Wildwood MO, US

Assignee:
Metal Container Corporation - St. Louis MO
International Classification:
B65D 6/28, B65D 8/04
US Classification:
220608, 220609
Abstract:
The invention includes a novel profile for a container bottom. The bottom structure includes a domed central panel attached at its outside edge to a downwardly projecting substantially cylindrical inner leg portion the inner leg portion is attached to a generally semi-circular nose portion. The outside of the nose portion is attached to an upwardly and outwardly inclined outer leg portion. The outer leg portion is attached to an outwardly inclined peripheral portion. The peripheral portion is attached to the lower end of the generally cylindrical sidewall portion. The improvement primarily involves the larger stand diameter, and altered dome circle radius and dome depth, which produces a container bottom profile yielding more consistent results in drop tests to determine resistance to bulging and reversals (single can and consumer package flat and angled drop tests) than prior art can bottoms.

International Classification:
B65D 1/16
US Classification:
220600
Abstract:
For years, can bottoms have been formed to provide structural integrity for cans, which include many different configurations. A novel profile for a container bottom is shown herein. The bottom structure includes a multi-radial domed central panel extending from its outside edge to a downwardly projecting substantially cylindrical inner leg portion. The inner leg portion extends to a generally semi-toroidal nose portion. The outside of the nose portion extends to an upwardly and outwardly inclined outer leg portion. The outer leg portion is connected to an outwardly inclined peripheral portion. The peripheral portion is connected to the lower end of the generally cylindrical sidewall portion.
