Abstract

A container especially suited for detergents and resistant to downward pressures due to stacking during storage and transportation. The contours of the container are constructed with segments of an inverted catenary, especially at the shoulders of the container. A handle is located in such a manner that the contour of the catenary segment is unbroken as far as possible.
