Abstract:
1. An improvement in a container of metal sheet, comprising a body formed by a tubular side wall having an axis and having an upper end edge and a lower end edge to which are affixed, by an upper double-seam and a lower double-seam respectively, an upper wall and a lower wall, said tubular side wall presenting, close to at least one of the upper double-seam and lower double-seam, at least one circumferential deformation region formed by a plurality of circumferential friezes parallel and adjacent to each other and occupying a certain axial extension of the tubular side wall, the improvement being characterized in that each frieze presents a Z-shaped profile having end legs disposed in planes which define, with the axis of the tubular side wall, an angle (α) between 45° and 90°, said end legs being interconnected by a median leg inclined in relation to said axis and defining, with respective end legs, an angle not superior to 90°, the end legs of two adjacent friezes being coplanar and interconnected, by opposite ends thereof, to respective median legs and characterized in that a junction of the median leg with the end leg, of each frieze, is obtained by a rounded vertex portion, coincident with the adjacent median leg and end leg and each rounded vertex portion presents a bend radius “r” having a value defined between ½ and ⅔ of a radial extension of the end legs of each frieze and further characterized in that the median legs of the friezes of an upper circumferential deformation region are downwardly and radially outwardly inclined from the upper double-seam, whilst the median legs of the friezes of a lower circumferential deformation region axe upwardly and radially outwardly inclined from the lower double-seam.
