Abstract (en)

A container for pressurized products formed of axially telescoped upper and lower container halves (6,7) joined in a generally peripheral mid-seam 10. The upper half 6 has an upper end portion 16 with a pour opening to which a closure 8 is applied and the bottom half 7 has a pressure-dispersing outwardly convexed bottom end portion 9. A support base 21 is fitted onto the bottom end portion 9 to provide a stable base for the container to support it in upright position. A sleeve 14 of plastics material film is shrink wrapped about the central portion of the container and also over part of the upper end portion 16 and about and under a shoulder of the base 21 and holds the two halves (6, 7) together and retains the support base 21 in association with the bottom end portion 9 of the bottom half 7. The plastic sleeve 14 is flexible and allows the support base 21 to cant about the bottom portion 9 if the can should be dropped on edge to cushion the fall and after the fall, the stretched plastic retracts and pulls the support 21 to its normal position on the lower end portion 9 to properly support the can.
