Abstract
A non-barrier type aerosol container ( ) dispensing a fluent material. A generally cylindrical can body ( ) 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 ( ) 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 ( ) includes a spray valve ( ) 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.
