Abstract

Provided is a can body containing contents such as carbonated beverages, the can body being capable of suppressing the occurrence of an unexpected opening while increasing the internal pressure resistance. In the can body, formula (A+B)·E/Z<1.88 is satisfied when 0<L<Y2, with the following definitions: L=D·cos (θ1−θ2), A=X·(L+Y1−Y2)/Y1, and B=L+Y1−Y2, under a condition of E<Z.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A can body comprising: a can lid provided with a tab for opening; and a can bottom provided with a dome part having a center recessed to an inner side, and a leg part projecting annularly toward a lower side around said dome part, wherein a recessed part facing an outer side of said leg part is provided at a connection portion of said dome part and said leg part,
the can body satisfying: a first resulting quantity (A), a second resulting quantity (B) and a third resulting quantity (L),
wherein a distance from a tip of said tab to a surface of said can lid (D), a distance from a crossing part of a vertical line drawn from the tip of said tab and the surface of said can lid to an apex part of a seaming panel of said can lid (E), an angle between a straight line connecting said crossing part and said apex part of the seaming panel and a vertical line (θ1), a distance from a grounding part of said leg part to a lower end of a can barrel connected to the outer side of said leg part (Z), an angle between a straight line connecting said grounding part and the lower end of said can barrel and a vertical line (θ2), a distance from a bottom part of said recessed part to a lower end of said recessed part (Y1), a distance from said bottom part to said grounding part (Y2), and a distance between a vertical line passing through the lower end of said recessed part and said bottom part (X) are provided, and wherein:
( A+B )· E/Z< 1.88

is satisfied when
0< L<Y 2,
with the following definitions:
L=D ·cos(θ1-θ2),

A=X ·( L+Y 1− Y 2)/ Y 1, and

B=L+Y 1− Y 2,

under a condition of E<Z.

2. A can body comprising: a can lid provided with a tab for opening; and a can bottom provided with a dome part having a center recessed to an inner side, and a leg part projecting annularly toward a lower side around said dome part, wherein a recessed part facing an outer side of said leg part is provided at a connection portion of said dome part and said leg part,
the can body satisfying: a first resulting quantity (A), a second resulting quantity (B) and a third resulting quantity (L),
wherein a distance from a tip of said tab to a surface of said can lid (D), a distance from a crossing part of a vertical line drawn from the tip of said tab and the surface of said can lid to an apex part of a seaming panel of said can lid (E), an angle between a straight line connecting said crossing part and said apex part of the seaming panel and a vertical line (θ1), a distance from a grounding part of said leg part to a lower end of a can barrel connected to the outer side of said leg part (Z), an angle between a straight line connecting said grounding part and the lower end of said can barrel and a vertical line (θ2), a distance from a bottom part of said recessed part to a lower end of said recessed part (Y1), a distance from said bottom part to said grounding part (Y2), and a distance between a vertical line passing through the lower end of said recessed part and said bottom part (X) are provided, and wherein:
( A+B )· E/Z< 1.85

is satisfied when
L≥Y 2,
with the following definitions:
L=D cos(θ1-θ2),

A=X ·( Y 1+ Y 2− L )/ Y 1, and

B=L+Y 1− Y 2,

under a condition of E<Z.
