Abstract (en)

A container which is formed of two cup-shaped members (12, 14), one member (12) being a bottom and the other member (14) being a top. The two members have end walls which are configurated to resist deformation under high internal pressures as may occur in beverage containers. The members have cylindrical bodies (20, 28) and an end portion (34) of one of the bodies (12) is radially inwardly offset so as to be receivable in the other (14) of the members. Prior to assembly, an adhesive (38), preferably in powder form, is applied to the offset end portion (34) and the two halves (12, 14) are joined together by first heating the larger diameter end portion to facilitate assembly, then telescoping the end portions with the inner end portion (34) then being heated so as both tightly to fit within the outer end portion and to fuse the adhesive (38).
