Reinforced plastic container

Plastic container reinforced with glass fiber or corresponding reinforcing strands which has at least one connection opening and consists of two joined together container halves (10,12), which each have an essentially cylindrical part (10,12) and a base (14,16), the open ends of the container halves being conically bevelled and inserted into each other as a male part in a female part and joined by an adhesive, as well as the container halves having different layers comprising essentially longitudinal (24,28;

• 36,28,42) and essentially transverse (22;40,48) bundles of reinforcing strands, characterized in that each container half has at least a first layer (26,28) which has in the cylindrical part diagonally orientated bundles of strands (26), that each bundle of fibre runs over a transition part (20) between the cylindrical part (10,12) and the base (14,16) and thereafter over the base, essentially along a chord at a predetermined distance from the interception point of the centre line with the base, and further in the reverse order again over the transition part (20) to the opposite side of the cylindrical part (10,12) of the container halves, which pattern is repeated a predetermined number of times on the container half (12) with a predetermined mutual distance between the bundles of strands (26).
