Abstract

A plastics aerosol container includes a top portion having a neck for accommodating an aerosol valve, connected by a shoulder to the aerosol body. The shoulder includes an elbow portion of reduced thickness which acts as a hinge and serves to reduce stress caused, for instance, by transverse impacts on the container, which could otherwise damage or break the container.
