Abstract
A container is produced from a single-layered, helically bent sheet-metal trip (20). A first, helically running peripheral portion (22) of the sheet-metal strip (20) is bent out in the direction of the outside of the container (10) to form a helically running bent out edge (24). A second, helically extending peripheral portion (26) of the sheet-metal strip (20) overlaps a third portion (28) of the sheet-metal strip (20) on the inside of the container (10). The third portion is adjacent to the bent-out edge (24) and extends in the direction of the second peripheral portion (26) from the bent out edge (24). The second peripheral portion (26) is connected in a fluid-tight manner to the third portion (28) of the sheet-metal strip (20) on the inside of the container (10).
Claims15
A container, comprising:
- a single layered, helical sheet-metal strip wound circumferentially about and axially along a longitudinal axis in three dimensions and defining a curve traced on a cylinder by rotation of a point crossing right sections thereof at a constant oblique angle;
- a helically extending first edge section of said sheet-metal strip bent radially outwardly relative to said longitudinal axis forming a helically extending radially outwardly bent edge of said sheet-metal strip;
- a helically extending second edge section of said sheet-metal strip overlapping a helically extending third edge section of said sheet-metal strip on an inside of the container adjacent to said radially outwardly bent edge, said third edge section extending from said outwardly bent edge in a direction of said second edge section, said second edge section being connected by a fluid-tight weld to said third edge section on an inside of the container;
- and
- a sealant in a helically extending seam on an outside of the container, said seam being formed between said outwardly bent edge of said first edge section and an offset of said second edge section, said sealant including silicone.
