Abstract
A container constituted of injection-molded plastic components, the components having the property of enabling discrete particles thereof to be securely joined to each other under the action of heat and pressure. The injection-molded components form a pair of continuous mating edges adapted to constitute a common continuous joint in the container. The edges initially have configurations enabling them to be mutually abutted, and the edges after being so abutted having been subjected to heat and pressure of a magnitude sufficient to cause them to meet and merge into each other to form the continuous joint.
