Thin-walled can having plurality of supporting feet with two support features

A metallic container for holding pressurized or pressure-producing fluids, said container comprising:

• a generally cylindrical side wall, a bottom wall having a plurality of supporting feet, and a lid;
• said side wall integrally formed with said bottom wall, having a longitudinal axis, and extending substantially upward from said bottom wall to define an interior cavity and an open end of the container, said open end adapted to be closed with said lid;
• said lid seamed onto said open end of the container after the introduction of a fluid into said interior cavity, thereby forming a rim having a pressure-tight seal which isolates the interior cavity;
• said bottom wall including a externally convex dome portion and a plurality of supporting feet formed therein, said feet being circumferentially spaced apart from each other and projecting generally downward beyond said dome portion when said container has an internal pressure less than 70 psig;
• each said foot having formed thereon stand features and stacking features;
• said stand features radially spaced from said longitudinal axis and disposed at downwardmost locations on said feet to alone support the container in an upright position on a flat horizontal surface when said container has an internal pressure less than about 70 psig;
• said stacking features disposed adjacent to said stand features and defining, in cross-section elevation view, axial stacking surfaces and lateral stacking surfaces;
• and
• said axial stacking surfaces being axially positioned in relation to said stand features and said lateral stacking surfaces being radially positioned in relation to said longitudinal axis to interfit with an upper seamed edge of an adjacent below container whereby said stacking features alone support said container in stacking engagement when said container has an internal pressure of less than about 70 psig.
