Abstract (en)

[origin: US2006071035A1] The invention relates to a spray can which is made of metal and which is ergonomically designed in order to ensure a secure hold of the can when spraying. This spray can comprises a lower can portion and an upper can portion, the lower can portion containing a bottom and being of almost cylindrical configuration, so that a cross section of the spray can in this portion is circular. The upper can portion contains a shoulder area and a can opening with a collar for an insertable spraying system from which the contents of the can are discharged. In order to obtain an easy-to-handle spray can which is ergonomically shaped and presents no drawbacks with regard to safety, it is proposed that the upper can portion additionally contains a shaping area, which may also extend above the shoulder area. A cross section in the shaping area of the spray can is configured differently than the almost circular cross section of the lower can portion. The present invention further relates to a device which is used to manufacture the present spray can. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing the inventive spray can using the corresponding device.
