Beaded thin wall aerosol container

摘要

A non-barrier type aerosol container (10) dispensing a fluent material. A generally cylindrical can body (12) has a relatively thin sidewall thickness of between 0.004 inches and 0.010 inches depending upon the type of metal from which the container is made. The can body has beads (30) formed at regular intervals substantially its length. The beading adds structural strength to the container so the container is not readily deformed when un-pressurized. The aerosol container also can withstand a vacuum of at least 23 inches of Mercury without collapsing. A valve assembly (14) includes a spray valve (20) for dispensing the fluent material stored in the container. The container is filled with the fluent material and a propellant stored in the container under pressure.
