Abstract
A double walled thermal container includes an outer container with an inner container mounted therein. Structural support is provided by an internal connection between the inner container and the outer container to minimize stress on the connection point. A separate elastomeric seal is preferably provided to prevent moisture from entering the area between the inner and outer containers.

A container comprising:
- an outer container including a first bottom element and a first sidewall extending upward from the first bottom element;
- an inner container including a second bottom element and a second sidewall extending upward from the second bottom element, the inner container mounted in the outer container;
- the first sidewall sonic welded to the second sidewall at a top portion of the container to join the first sidewall and the second sidewall;
- a seal element molded into the second sidewall and sonic-welded to the first sidewall at a position just below the sonic weld of the first sidewall and the second sidewall at the top portion of the container;
- and
- a lower connecting element provided between a top surface of the first bottom element and a bottom surface of the second bottom element to provide a second sonic-welded connection between the inner container and outer container.
