Abstract
Methods and apparatus for forming a metallic dome are provided. More specifically, the present invention relates to a metallic dome that may be used to seal an aerosol container. The metallic dome includes a novel flattened relief panel and an inwardly oriented arch configured to deform in response to pressure within the aerosol container exceeding a predetermined amount. In one embodiment, the flattened relief panel is substantially planar. Optionally, the metallic dome includes at least a first inwardly oriented arch with a first radius of curvature and a second inwardly oriented arch with a second radius of curvature.
