Abstract (en)
The invention provides a can (1), in particular for foodstuffs in powder form such as milk powder or baby food, which can comprises: a round bottom; a body (3) connected to this bottom; a ring (5) defining a mouth opening which is connected to the body (3) on the side remote from the bottom and which can be covered with a cover (10), the outer diameter of which ring (5) is at least roughly the same as the outer diameter of the bottom, wherein the circles defined by said outer diameters together define at least approximately an imaginary cylinder; which body (3) comprises four side surfaces (11,12), namely two substantially identical, relatively small first side surfaces (11) located mutually opposite, and two substantially identical, relatively large second side surfaces (12) located mutually opposite and placed in interwoven relationship with said first side surfaces; which side surfaces (11,12) connect smoothly to each other, to the bottom and to the ring (5) via respective transition zones (13,14,15); which first side surfaces (11) are located at a distance outside said imaginary cylinder; and the middle zones of which side surfaces are located in the region of said imaginary cylinder and their remaining parts are located outside thereof. <IMAGE>
