AI Technical Summary
Conventional mounting cups for aerosol containers rely on dimples that extend radially outward for non-sealingly retaining the valve, which can lead to slippage and instability during the sealing process, compromising the secure attachment of the valve assembly.
The mounting cup incorporates snap-fit components, such as pleats with inward and outward protrusions, that engage the container's curl to provide a secure snap-fit retention before sealingly coupling, ensuring stable attachment and preventing upward movement during crimping or clinching.
The snap-fit components ensure a stable and secure attachment of the valve assembly to the aerosol container by preventing slippage and ensuring a reliable sealing process, enhancing the integrity of the valve assembly's retention.
