Abstract
A method for creating a container is disclosed. The method can include creating a container body from a thermoplastic material via a blow molding process to thereby form a first opening extending through a top of the container body, creating a bung attachment part via an injection molding process to thereby form a second opening extending through the bung attachment part and an internally threaded surface located within the second opening, and attaching the bung attachment part to the top of the container body such that the second opening is at least partially aligned with the first opening.
Claims7
A method comprising:
- creating a container body from a thermoplastic material via a blow molding process, the container body having a first opening extending through a top of the container body, and forming a bung receiver portion in the top of the container body, the bung receiver portion having a concave shape that faces toward the first opening and extends inwardly toward an inner portion of the container body, at least a portion of the concave shape including a first annular attachment surface surrounding the first opening;
- creating a bung attachment part via an injection molding process, forming a lower portion of the bung attachment part, the lower portion having a convex shape mirroring the concave shape of the bung receiver portion and at least a portion of the convex shape includes a second annular attachment surface complementary to the first annular attachment surface, the bung attachment part having a second opening extending therethrough and an internally threaded surface located within the second opening;
- and
- attaching the bung attachment part to the concave shape of the bung receiver portion such that the second opening is at least partially aligned with the first opening.
