NON-ROUND METALLIC PRESSURIZED CONTAINER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME

摘要

A metallic container includes a metallic elongated body that provides an interior cavity. The body has a non-circular perimeter wall, a bottom and a top. The perimeter wall is joined to the bottom at one end and to the top at an end opposite the bottom. The top includes an opening having a lip. The perimeter wall extends in a longitudinal direction to provide a height. The perimeter wall includes a cross-section normal to longitudinal direction that provides a major diameter and a minor diameter. A ratio of the major diameter to the minor diameter is 1.3 to 2Ø A valve assembly is operatively secured to the lip over the opening to enclose the cavity.
