  • the construction defined above allows the annular upper wall of the can to present its internal face without any salient or recessed element which might define a barrier that impairs the radial gravitational flow, toward the opening of the can and outwards from the latter when in an inverted position, of the stored product which is seated against the annular upper wall .
  • annular upper wall of the can to operate as a kind of hopper which directs the product to the opening of the tubular body, when the can is inverted for pouring the powder, granulated or liquid product which is still contained inside the tubular body.

  • the points of the internal face 12b of the annular upper wall 12, disposed according to the same circumferential alignment concentric to the axis of the tubular body 10, are contained in a plane orthogonal to said axis, allowing that the annular upper wall 12 when applied to a tubular body 10 with a circular cross section, be defined as a revolution surface obtained by rotation of a generatrix around the axis of the tubular body 10, said generating being defined by the profile of said annular upper wall 12.

  • annular upper wall 12 is generally double seamed to the upper edge 11a of the peripheral lateral wall 11
  • the annular upper wall 12 has its internal face 12b presenting an external radial extension portion 12d, adjacent to the peripheral lateral wall 11 of the tubular body 10, disposed in a plane orthogonal to the axis of the tubular body 10.
  • This external radial extension portion 12d facilitates the adaptation of the double seaming devices of the annular upper wall 12 to the peripheral lateral wall 11.
  • the internal face 12b of the annular upper wall 12 further presents, preferably, an internal radial extension portion 12e, adjacent to the opening 13, disposed in a plane orthogonal to the axis of the tubular body 10, said plane being generally parallel and disposed at a height that is slightly superior to that of the orthogonal plane in which is contained said external radial extension portion 12d of the internal face 12b of the annular upper wall 12, said external radial extension portion 12d and said internal radial extension portion 12e being interconnected by a conic portion of said internal face 12b of the annular upper wall 12.
  • the internal edge 12c of the annular upper wall 12 is upwardly and radially outwardly bent, in order to form a circumferential rib 15 presenting the cross section defined by at least one portion of an arc of a circle with the center in a plane P orthogonal to the axis of the tubular body 10 and which is medianly intersected by said plane P.
  • the lid 20 has a peripheral lateral wall 21 externally provided with a circumferential cradle 22 presenting the cross section in the form of an arc of a circle, within which is fitted the circumferential rib 15 of the annular upper wall 12, when the lid 20 is closed.
  • the peripheral lateral wall 21 of the lid 20 has its upper section incorporating a continuous external peripheral flange 23, which is seated on the circumferential rib 15 and on an adjacent portion of the annular upper wall 12 of the can when the circumferential rib 15 is fitted in the circumferential cradle 22 of the lid 20, maintaining the latter in the closing condition of the opening 13.

  • Said central drawn portion 25 facilitates the stacking of the lids 20 in the assembly lines and allows that the raise of the internal pressure existing inside a closed can results in an increase of the radial forces applied by the annular basic wall 24, and consequently by the peripheral lateral wall 21 against the circumferential rib 15, increasing the degree of tightness and retention of the lid 20.
  • the latter has its height limited by a plane containing the upper edge 11a of the peripheral lateral wall 11 of the tubular body 10, the lid 20 being also shaped so that, in the position in which it is seated and retained in the opening 13 of the tubular body 10, it is also limited, as to the height, by said plane which contains the upper edge 11a of the peripheral lateral wall 11 of the tubular body 10.
  • Figures 5-10 illustrate an alternative construction for the lid 20 illustrated in figures 1-4 of the enclosed drawings, which construction is also generally made of plastic and configured to be removably fitted and retained in said can.
  • the lid 20 also presents a peripheral wall 21 which is provided, externally, with a circumferential cradle 22 presenting the cross section in the form of an arc of a circle, inside which is fitted the circumferential rib 15 of the upper wall 12 upon closing the lid 20 on the can, the peripheral lateral wall 21 of the lid 20 having its upper portion also incorporating an external peripheral flange 23 to be seated on the circumferential rib 15 and on the adjacent portion of the annular upper wall 12 of the can, when the lid 20 closes the opening 13.
  • the external peripheral flange 23 is dimensioned to seat only on the circumferential rib 15, but incorporates small radial extensions 23a angularly spaced from other and which are configured to seat on the annular upper wall 12 of the can, upon closing the lid 20 on the opening 13.
  • the external peripheral flange 23 further incorporates two diametrically opposite radial bridges 17, dimensioned to operate as means for connecting and articulating the ends of a pair of opposite semicircular gripping handles 28 to the external peripheral flange 23 of the lid 20, said gripping handles 28 being maintained slightly spaced from the external peripheral flange 23 along their extensions that are not incorporated to the two radial bridges 27. Both gripping handles 28 are further medianly incorporated, through breakable radial connections 23b, to the small radial extensions 23a of the external peripheral flange 23.
  • the two gripping handles 28 remain in an inoperative position, illustrated in full lines in figures 5-10, in which they are disposed coplanar to each other and to the small radial extensions 23a of the external peripheral flange 23.
  • the gripping handles 28 are medianly upwardly pulled, to a raised operative position illustrated in dashed lines in figure 5, by breaking the breakable radial connections 23b, evidencing the occurrence of a previous movement of the gripping handles 28 to the operative position and a probable previous opening of the can.
  • the gripping handles 28 During the angular movement of the gripping handles 28 between the inoperative and operative positions, they remain connected and articulated to the lid 20 by the radial bridges 27. In the raised operative position, the gripping handles 28 define a means that facilitates the manual opening of the lid by the user.
  • the lid 20 can be re-closed, and the two gripping handles 28 will return, by resilient deformation memory, to a position coinciding with or which is very proximate to the original inoperative condition maintained until before the first resilient deformation to the operative position. While only one way of carrying out the invention has been illustrated herein, it should be understood that changes in the form and arrangement of the component parts could be made, without departing from the constructive concept defined in the appended claims.
