<p>A sheet metal cylindrical container has its top edge folded outwardly to form an annular inverted U-section lip, and this U-section lip is further shaped and deformed to provide a multi-fold 931-934 reinforcing flanged rim located externally of the body member but materially integral therewith. Preferably the top edge is initially formed into a roll-edge 90 which, after deformation of the lip, preferably lies against the cylindrical wall. The flanged rim can conveniently accept a lever off closure lid, and also provide a shoulder to support a lid levering tool. The external rim facilitates liquid pouring. The container's bottom 50 can be provided and fitted in a known way. The ends 94, of a carrying handle 94 can be clamped in the folds of the rim. <IMAGE></p> |
