Three-piece can

Abstract

A can model is provided for processed or non processed foods, for use by food companies or others. The model includes a three-piece can, which has a conical shape with a top and a bottom having different diameters, but within limits not to compromise rolling on flat surfaces and guides, minimizing friction between the external part of the cylindrical body with the finish or artwork while rolling. The can may also be stacked, since it is provided with different diameter top and bottom, which fit in each other when stacked.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A three-piece can comprising a cylindrical body ( 1 ) with rims ( 2 ), a top ( 3 ) and a bottom ( 4 ), wherein said cylindrical body ( 1 ) is expanded into a conical shape ( 1 ), provided with a top ( 3 ) having a first diameter, and a bottom ( 4 ), having a second diameter greater than the first diameter, the top and bottom ( 3 ,  4 ) being of a conventional or easy-to-open type, said top ( 3 ) and bottom ( 4 ) diameter differences ranging from 2 to 4 mm, forming an angle on the wall of the expanded body ( 1 ) from 0.1 to 2°, said top ( 3 ) and bottom ( 4 ), when seamed, create support edges ( 5 ,  6 ) for the can L to be rolled on flat surfaces.
