Abstract
Pouring receptacle for infusion, adapted to be placed in a microwave oven and comprising a body (1) to which is secured a handle (2) by an encircling band (3), the body (1) and the handle (2) being of a material transparent to microwaves. The encircling band (3) clamps a portion (4, 16) of the handle (2) to the body (1) and is of a material having a coefficient of expansion near that of the body, transparent to microwaves and resistant to deformation during successive thermal cycles. The band is a structure reinforced by fibers. The fibers can be applied by winding from a spool, or the band (3) can be molded and heated to expand it so it slips over the body (1) and cools and contracts to grip the body (1) firmly.
