Abstract
A fuel container operating under overpressure and consisting of two shells is to be reinforced by means of an inner column so that, when the two shells are conjoined, a tension resistant connection is created. For this purpose, the column consists of a first and a second part connected to the respective shell, one part having catches, the other part having latching hooks, which catches and latching hooks for a tension resistant snap-in connection when joined together. For this purpose, both parts have latching surfaces and deflecting surfaces and the latching hook is resiliently displaceable.
