Abstract

The invention relates to a container (1) of thermoplastic material with at least one support (4), which is arranged in the interior of the container, extends between opposing container walls (2) and is anchored at each end to the container walls with a positive engagement and/or a material bond, the support (4) comprising at least one supporting strut (5) and the supporting strut (5) substantially absorbing a supporting load on the container walls (2) induced by negative pressure in the container, and a tensile force that is induced by positive pressure being absorbed by at least one tension-resistant bracing element in the form of a tension-resistant band (8) which extends between the container walls (2).
