Claim 1
Independent Claim
160 words
In a container for liquified gases, which comprises an inner container to hold the liquified gas, said inner container comprising a container body and an elongated neck, and an outer shell spaced away from the said inner container, said shell forming with said inner container an evacuated insulating space packed with material made up of superimposed pairs of layers of materials, each pair of layers consisting of a conductive foil and an insulating sheet, marginal portions of each pair of layers being in individual thermal contact with the neck of the inner container along annular areas spaced from one another along said neck, said neck extending to said outer shell; the improvement in which the neck of the inner container is made from a plastic material, the said thermal contact between each pair of layers and the neck being achieved by means of an annular part which presses said marginal portion of each pair of layers directly onto said neck.
