ABSTRACT:
A pressure relief device is disclosed for a container having a cylindrical side wall which is closed at one end by an internally concave bottom wall. The device comprises an externally protruding first cup formed as an impression in the container bottom wall. The first cup has a first circular wall which is joined at one end to the container bottom wall and which is closed at the opposite end by a first base portion; A tab member is located in the first base portion. The tab member is partially circumscribed by a line of reduced material thickness along which the first base portion is adapted to separate in response to an overpressurization of the container contents, thus freeing the tab member for outward deflection to provide an outlet through which the contents may escape. A second element having a second circular wall is forcibly received within the first circular wall of the first cup. The second circular wall is dimensioned to coact with the first circular wall to radially stress the first base portion in tension.
