The invention relates to a can body for a beverage can. The can body is formed in one piece from sheet metal and comprises a circumferential wall as a side wall and a can bottom which has a calotte-shaped central section which is curved inwards and a standing section which surrounds the central section in an annular manner and curves outwards. The standing section curved outward is connected to the circumferential wall by means of an outer transition section extending aslant in the cross-section and defines a standing ring, along which the standing section at least approximately touches a flat surface when the can body is placed on such a flat surface. The geometry of the bottom is defined by three partial radii R3a, R3b and R3c, which describe the geometry of a standing ring as part of the standing section curved outwards and have the following dimensions: 0.8 < R3a < 1.2 mm, 1.2 < R3b < 1.6 mm, and 2.0 < R3a < 3.0 mm.
A tear-open lid (14) made of sheet metal comprises a central lid surface (20), with a frangible zone (22), and also comprises a grip tab (28) which is made of sheet metal, can be pivoted about a pivot axis running at least more or less perpendicularly to the lid surface and has an opener portion (32) on one side of the pivot axis and a gripping portion (30) on the opposite side of the pivot axis. Once the frangible zone has been opened, the gripping portion can be pivoted, about the pivot axis, over an opening produced by said opening operation, and enclosed by an outer contour, so as to close said opening in a sealed manner. The grip-tab sheet metal which forms the gripping portion (30) has through-openings (40), and provided on an underside of the gripping portion (30), said underside being directed towards the lid surface (20), is an elastomeric seal (38), which is connected to the gripping portion by a form fit and extends through the through-openings (40).

The invention relates to a can body (10) for a beverage can, which can body is formed from aluminum sheet metal as a single piece and has a circumferential wall (12) and a can bottom (14), which can bottom has a cup-like central section (16) curved inward and a standing section (18) that annularly surrounds the central section and is curved outward. The standing section curved outward is connected to the circumferential wall by means of an outer transition section extending aslant in the cross-section and defines a standing ring, along which the standing section at least approximately touches a flat surface when the can body is placed on such a flat surface. According to the invention, the can body has a diameter of less than 56 mm and the greatest sheet metal thickness of the formed aluminum sheet metal in the region of the cup-like central section curved inward is less than 0.25 mm.
The invention relates to a method for pretreating a can body (1) made of a sheet metal to form a can before being filled with a predetermined filling material, said can body (1) comprising a can base (2) having an inwardly curving dome (3) and a circumferential standing edge (4) on the outer side of the can base (2). According to the invention, in order to prevent a subsequent deformation of the can base after the can is filled with a carbonated filling material, before filling, a pressure force is applied to the can base (2) in a direction from inside the can body (1) towards the outside, wherein the strength of the pressure force is selected such that the can base (2) freely deforms, in particular in the region of the standing edge (4).
