Abstract

A container for fluid products includes an inner shell of sheet metal which has a substantially cylindrical body and top and bottom end walls. A first resilient outer member encases the inner shell bottom end wall and forms a base portion for the container. The first member includes a substantially cylindrical side wall portion and a base portion which, in turn, includes a ring section, provided on its outer surface with a pair of spaced ribs, as well as a recessed inner section. A second resilient outer member encases the inner shell top end wall and forms a top portion for the container. The second member includes a substantially cylindrical side wall portion and a top portion including a ring section, having a planar outer surface, and a recessed inner section. The ring section has a suitable diameter and is sized to fit between the first portion spaced pair of ribs to permit stacking of the container.
