THIN-WALLED CAN HAVING PLURALITY OF SUPPORTING FEET

摘要

A metal container (10) for holding fluids is provided having a bottom wall (14) including an externally convex dome portion (22) and a plurality of supporting feet (24) formed therein. The supporting feet (24) are circumferentially spaced apart from the other and projected generally downward beyond the dome portion (22). Each supporting foot (24) has formed thereon stand features (26) and stacking features (28). The stand features (26) are radially spaced from the longitudinal axis (16) of the container and disposed at downwardmost locations on the feet to alone support the container in an upright position on a flat horizontal surface. The stacking features (28) are disposed adjacent to the stand features (26) and define, in cross-sectional elevation view, axial stacking surfaces (34) and radial stacking surfaces (36).
