CONTAINER WITH STRUCTURAL RIBS

摘要

A container (10) is formed of a shell having a top section (12), a bottom section (16) and a central section (14) connecting the top section (12) and the bottom section (16). At least a majority region of the central section (14) is provided with a plurality of structural ribs (22) about its peripher y. The ribs (22) are discontinuous in a circumferential direction extending around the central section. This construction enables the container to withstand deformation due to internal or external pressures.
