Abstract

A longitudinally partitioned bulbous-shape, top-opening container of unitary construction is provided which comprises a precisely shaped, sized, and oriented integral bulkhead. Such containers may be made by the method of providing a thermoplastic preform which is longitudinally partitioned by an integral bulkhead of the size, shape, and orientation desired in the finished container, and then blow molding the outer wall of the preform to the bulbous-shape of the finished container while constraining or confining the bulkhead from changing size, shape, or orientation.
