Claims8
A fin-stabilized container formed from a unitary tapered container made from foldable sheet material, said tapered container having an apex defining the forward end and an opposite trailing end, at least three fold lines extending longitudinally from the trailing end at least partially towards the apex, said trailing end being folded inwardly toward a central longitudinal axis of the tapered container at at least three circumferentially spaced regions to form fins that project outwardly from the central longitudinal axis, each fin having outer edges defined by one of said fold lines, the folded trailing end providing closure means for the container.
