Abstract

A container comprises an inner casing and an outer casing and an elongate member extends through a container space formed by the interior of the inner casing. The elongate member is secured to an upper and lower portion of the container, and of the casings, at least the inner casing comprises a pliant or flexible material. For the purpose of relieving the inner casing of stresses and strains, the elongate member is anchored to the upper portion of the container solely at the outer casing, while the upper portion of the inner casing is displaceable along the elongate member. In such a container only the outer casing is subjected to wear, and to the stresses and strains occurring when a full container is lifted. Filling of the container is facilitated by the displaceability of the upper portion of the inner casing along the elongate member.
