Abstract
In a rotationally-molded thermoplastic refuse container of the type having a hollow handle integrally-molded with a refuse carrying compartment of the container, the improvement which includes a wall integrally-formed with the refuse container and sealingly enclosing the hollow handle from communication with the refuse-carrying compartment of the container for providing greater strength to the container and preventing refuse from lodging in the hollow handles.
Claims3
A method of molding a plastic container having a hollow protrusion integrally-molded with a material carrying compartment of the container, comprising the steps of:
- rotationally molding the container in a mold containing a blend of plastic material consisting essentially of micropellets having diameters in the range of from 600 microns to 1300 microns;
- and
- forming a wall integrally with the container and sealingly enclosing the hollow protrusion from communication with the material carrying compartment of the container for providing greater strength to the container and preventing material from lodging in the hollow protrusion.
