Metal Sheet Container

An improvement in a container of metal sheet, of the type which comprises a body formed by a tubular side wall having an upper end edge and a lower end edge to which are affixed, by respective upper and lower double-seams, an upper wall and a lower wall, said tubular side wall presenting, close to at least one of the upper double-seam and lower double-seam, a circumferential deformation region formed by a plurality of circumferential friezes parallel and adjacent to each other and occupying a certain axial extension of the tubular side wall, the improvement being characterized in that each frieze presents a Z-shaped profile with its end legs disposed in planes which define, with the axis of the tubular side wall, an angle (α) between 45° and 90°, said end legs being interconnected by a median leg inclined in relation to said axis and defining, with the respective end legs, an angle not superior to 90°, the adjacent end legs of two consecutive friezes being coplanar and interconnected, by their opposite ends, to the respective median legs.
