Container and Method of Manufacturing a Container

Abstract

The present invention relates to a container ( 1 ) for liquid or another fluid. The container comprises at least two wall elements ( 2 - 5 ) of stainless steel, which are joined by means of tape and/or glue. The present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a container for liquid or another fluid.

1 . A container for liquid or another fluid, comprising at least two wall elements of stainless steel, which are joined by means of tape and/or glue. 
   
   
       2 . Container according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least two wall elements ( 2 - 5 ) are joined along at least one flange ( 6 ) particularly intended for the purpose and present on one of said at least two wall elements ( 2 - 5 ). 
   
   
       3 . Container according to  claim 1  or  2 , wherein said stainless steel is austenitic. 
   
   
       4 . Container according to  claim 1  or  2 , wherein said tape and/or glue acts joiningly as well as sealingly. 
   
   
       5 . Container according to  claim 1  or  2  wherein at least one of said wall elements ( 2 - 5 ) shows a strain hardening as a consequence of forming of the wall element ( 2 - 5 ) in question. 
   
   
       6 . Container according to  claim 5 , wherein said at least one wall element ( 2 - 5 ) shows a stiffness and/or strength that is 4-7 times greater than the stiffness and/or strength of an unformed wall element ( 2 - 5 ) of the corresponding wall thickness. 
   
   
       7 . Container according to  claim 5 , wherein said at least one wall element ( 2 - 5 ) shows at least one groove ( 7 ) made by forming, such as pressing or the like. 
   
   
       8 . Method of manufacturing a container for liquid or another fluid, characterized in that
 at least two wall elements ( 2 - 5 ) are manufactured from stainless steel and   said wall elements ( 2 - 5 ) are joined by means of tape and/or glue.   
   
   
       9 . Method according to  claim 8 , wherein said at least two wall elements ( 2 - 5 ) are joined along at least one flange ( 6 ) particularly intended for the purpose and present on one of said at least two wall elements ( 2 - 5 ). 
   
   
       10 . Method according to  claim 8  or  9 , wherein said stainless steel is austenitic. 
   
   
       11 . Method according to  claim 8  or  9 , wherein said tape and/or glue acts joiningly as well as sealingly. 
   
   
       12 . Method according to  claim 8  or  9 , wherein at least one of said wall elements ( 2 - 5 ), before said joining by means of tape and/or glue, is formed with the purpose of giving rise to a strain hardening of the wall element ( 2 - 5 ) in question. 
   
   
       13 . Method according to  claim 12 , wherein at least one groove ( 7 ) in said at least one wall element is made by forming, such as pressing or the like.
