Abstract
The sheets (1) and (2) are cut separately in rectangular shapes and with one of their corners recessed (1.2) and (2.4) and the sheet (1) slightly larger than the other one, double, on layer (2.1) an alignment of cylindrical lenses (2.2) which reflect images from the other internal sub-sheet (2.3), the two sheets (1) and (2) are superimposed; they are joined and their rims hooked together, in a tube (3) with the vertical upper recesses; a small flange (1.3) is configured at the top covering the rim of the sheet (2), except for the recess thereof, with one of the ends of the small flange (1.3) overlapping the other; the lip (1.4) is inserted in the stepped piece (4.1) of the bottom (4) of the container; the latter is flanged (4.2).
Claims4
A process for construction of a multi-layer cylindrical container comprising the steps of:
- (a) cutting separately a first sheet and a second sheet in rectangular shapes and with one corner of each sheet having a recess, the first sheet forming an interior sheet, the first sheet being slightly greater in height than the second sheet and being slightly greater in height in the recess, and the first sheet being made of a metallic material;
- the second sheet comprising at least two layers, including an external layer of plastic material and an inner layer of plastic material, the external layer having a plurality of cylindrical areas forming lenses, the lenses, depending on viewing angle, reflecting different images incorporated on the inner layer of plastic material;
- (b) superimposing the first and second sheets without adhesives and securing the first and second sheets to each other;
- (c) uniting end sides of the first and second sheets by hooking the end sides together to form a tube from the first and second sheets so that one corner of the first and second sheets is in an upper vertical position;
- (d) rounding off a rim of the first sheet to form a small flange at a top portion of the first sheet covering a rim of the second sheet so that one end of the flange overlaps another end of the flange in an area of the recesses of the first and second sheets, leaving an upper horizontal rim of the second sheet completely embedded in the flange of the first sheet except in a segment of the recess, wherein the upper horizontal rim of the second sheet is flush with a lower rim of the flange;
- (e) inserting a lower lip of the first sheet in a bottom piece of the container, the bottom piece being provided with a stepped portion;
- and
- (f) flanging the bottom piece to leave the bottom piece ready for introduction of a product and for insertion of a cover.
A multi-layer cylindrical container having a tubular multi-layer construction comprising:
- (a) a first interior metallic sheet having a first recess in a corner of said first interior metallic sheet;
- (b) a second exterior plastic sheet having a second recess in said corner, wherein said first interior metallic sheet is slightly greater in height than the second exterior plastic sheet and slightly greater in height in said second recess than said first recess, said second exterior sheet comprising an external first layer made of plastic material and having a plurality of cylindrical areas forming lenses and a second layer made of plastic material;
- (c) a small flange provided in an interior portion of the first interior metallic sheet;
- (d) a rim of the second exterior plastic sheet flush with a lower rim of the flange;
- and
- (e) a lower lip of the first interior metallic sheet inserted in a bottom piece of the container, the bottom piece being provided with a stepped portion.
