  • Patent number: 8800807
    Abstract: The container includes a body including a tubular side wall with upper and lower edges that are double-seamed to end walls. The tubular side wall includes a deformation region formed by circumferential friezes, which are parallel and adjacent to each other and have a Z-shaped profile with their end legs disposed in planes which define, with the axis of the tubular side wall, an angle between 45° and 90°. The end legs are interconnected by a median leg inclined in relation to the axis and defining, with the respective end legs, an angle not superior to 90°. The adjacent end legs of two consecutive friezes being coplanar and interconnected, by their opposite ends, to the respective median legs.

  • Publication number: 20110299959
    Abstract: The container has a tubular body having a peripheral lateral wall provided with an upper end portion and a lower end portion defining an upper retention hook and a lower retention hook to which is double-seamed a lower end wall. An upper end wall is conformed to incorporate a peripheral upper skirt presenting an end edge defining an inverted U shaped upper closure hook to be seated onto the upper retention hook sandwiching an elastic sealing element therebetween. The upper closure hook and the upper retention hook and also a portion of the peripheral upper skirt and a confronting region of the upper end portion are deformed for seaming the upper closure hook onto the upper retention hook and to form, respectively, a retention rib and a retention groove which tightly fits the retention rib.
