(54) | Anti-bending stepped system for metallic containers |
(57) This invention refers to an anti-bending stepping system for metallic containers
(1) which can be applied to all kind of metallic containers of a shape that can be
either trunco-pyramidal, parallelopipedic, elliptical or similar to correct the usual
bending produced when the body of the container (1) is expanded, and it comprises
two or more steps (3) on certain areas of the side wall of the body of the container,
the number of steps and their depth depending on the size of the relevant deformation
causing the bending (2). It has been foreseen that the steps are parallel to the base
to absorb the excess material originated during the manufacturing expansion stage
of the container itself. |
