Container, in particular drum

摘要

A drum consisting of metal sheet, whose cylindrical body is closed at one end by a bottom and at the other end by a lid, the bottom and the lid being connected to the body by welding, is to be designed in such a way that it is given a structure which is as sturdy as possible with simple and cost-effective manufacture. For this purpose, it is proposed that the lid and the bottom have a pot-shaped impression of low height, whose outside diameters correspond to the inside diameter of the body, that the ends of the body firmly enclose outer surfaces of the impression and the rims surrounding the impression rest on the end faces of the body, that the outer surfaces and the body are connected to one another by means of continuous and advantageously slightly overlapping welds running part way up the outer surfaces, and that the regions of the rims projecting beyond the body are rolled in towards the central normal plane of the body. <IMAGE>
