Abstract:
An aerosol dispenser, an outer container for an aerosol dispenser and a preform for an outer container. The aerosol dispenser, outer container and preform each have a neck, which in turn has a crimp ring, to receive a valve cup clinched thereto. The crimp ring has slots which act as vents therethrough. The vents may be exposed to pressurized propellant and product due to deformation of the neck during undue internal pressurization. The cross section of the vents diverge in the downward direction to provide both flow area and for product and propellant and adequate area for the valve cup to be corrugatedly clinched to the crimp ring.

Claim (Index 16):
An aerosol dispenser for dispensing a product therefrom and having a longitudinal axis, said aerosol dispenser comprising:\n an outer container having an open top with a crimp ring therearound, a shoulder disposed in spaced relationship below said crimp ring, a lower neck portion depending from said crimp ring to said shoulder, sidewalls depending below said shoulder, a closed end bottom joined to said sidewalls, a valve cup radially corrugatedly joined to said crimp ring, a valve joined to said valve cup for dispensing product from said outer container, a product delivery device disposed in said outer container, and propellant disposed in said outer container and in operable relationship with said product delivery device, said crimp ring having an upper surface and a lower surface opposed thereto, said upper surface and said lower surface being joined by an outer surface, an inside diameter surface being opposed to said outer surface, said outer surface of said crimp ring having at least one longitudinally oriented vent having a cross section divergently extending from said upper surface to said lower surface, said vent diverging from said upper surface to said lower surface, whereby said at least one vent has a first cross section at said upper surface and a second cross section at said lower surface, said second cross section being greater than said first cross section.
