Abstract
A barrel of thermoplastic material has a peripherally extending carrier and transportation ring in the region of its upper end portion and at least one plughole connection in the edge region of the latter. The bung hole connection is disposed within a housing which is let into the upper end portion. The housing is open at its side towards the edge of the barrel while at its other side it has a boundary end wall, from each of the two ends of which a respective wall extends towards the edge of the barrel, the walls laterally defining the housing. The walls defining the housing are delimited at the top side by a transition from the respective wall into the upper end portion of the barrel and at the lower end by a transition from the respective wall into the bottom of the housing. The spacing between the upper transitions of the two ends of the housing is greater than the spacing between the two lower transitions and the upper transitions diverge towards the edge of the barrel. The transitions between the side walls and the upper end portion of the barrel body on the one hand and the transitions between the side walls and the bottom of the housing on the other hand do not extend parallel. The transitions between the side walls and the upper end portion include an angle which is at least 120.degree..
