Abstract
A liquid package of pressurized contents is manufactured from a thin metal foil laminated with plastic material. The package is shaped as a truncated cone and is preferably dimentioned such that the ratio of the radius R of the bottom of the cone to the radius r of the top of the cone is r.apprxeq.0.40R.
Claims5
A distribution unit of packages, comprising:
- a plurality of truncated cone-shaped packages, each of said packages having a planar top surface at one end thereof and a planar bottom surface at the opposite end thereof, said plurality of packages including four first packages having their top surfaces lying in substantially a same first plane and having their bottom surfaces lying in substantially a same second plane, and a second package having its top surface lying substantially in said second plane and its bottom surface lying substantially in said first plane, each of said four first packages contacting two of said four first packages, said second package contacting each of said four first packages along a line extending from top surface of a respective first package and the bottom surface of the second package to the bottom surface of the respective first package and the top surface of the second package.
A distribution unit of packages, comprising:
- a plurality of truncated cone-shaped packages, each of said packages having a planar substantially circular top surface at one end thereof and a planar substantially circular bottom surface at the opposite and thereof, said plurality of packages including four first packages having their top surfaces lying substantially in a first plane and having their bottom surfaces lying substantially in a second plane, and a second package having its top surface lying substantially in said second plane and its bottom surface lying substantially in said first plane, the top surface of said first and second packages having the same radius and the bottom surface of said first and second packages having the same radius, each of said four first packages contacting two of said four first packages, said second package contacting each of said four first packages along a line extending from the top surface of a respective first package and the bottom surface of the second package to the bottom surface of the respective first package and the top surface of the second package, and the ratio of the radius of the top surface of the first and second packages to the radius of the bottom surface of the first second packages being about 0.4.
