Abstract
A container and method of forming intimately bonded plastic components including a lower base with a closed bottom and an upstanding peripheral wall, and an upwardly extending ring telescopically engaged with the base and extending from a lower edge at an intermediate height on said base wall to an upper edge vertically spaced above the base wall to define three distinct zones along the height of the container.
Claims23
A multiple component container comprising a receptacle base having a closed bottom and a peripheral wall extending upward from said bottom, said base wall terminating in a top edge remote from said bottom, and a ring telescopically engaged with said base wall, said ring having a lower edge spaced below said top edge of said base wall and above said base bottom, said ring having an upper edge spaced above said top edge of said base wall whereby said ring defines an upper extension of said base wall.
A method of molding an integral container of multiple intimately bonded precursor components comprising at least a ring component and a base component utilizing molding apparatus and comprising the steps of:
- molding, in a first molding step, a first component of a predetermined configuration;
- and
- molding, in a second molding step, a second component of a configuration complementary to the predetermined configuration of the first component and wherein the first and second components only partially overlap.
