ABSTRACT:
A container (11), such as a beer keg or the like, includes a metallic top surface (14) and a metallic bottom surface (17) with metallic cylindrical sidewalls (15,18) extending therebetween. A metallic cylindrical top skirt (20) extends upwardly from and surrounds the top surface (14) while a metallic cylindrical bottom skirt (21) extends downwardly from and surrounds the bottom surface (17). An elastomeric ring (10) is positioned between the bottom surface (17) and the bottom skirt (21) and includes an annular foot (33) which extends downwardly below the bottom skirt (21). The foot (33) is thus adapted to rest on the ground and the ring (10) absorbs the shock of a drop to thereby protect the container (11) from damage. An outer diameter of the foot (33) is adapted to fit within the inner diameter of the top skirt (20) so that the container (11) may be stacked on a like container (11A).
