ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a spheroid container flattened at either pole. The structure is made from gores assembled along their edges. Meridional mono-directional reinforcements are fixed at intervals to the connecting lines of the gores. The gores are made of a material with a low elastic modulus and a high capacity for plastic elongation and the meridional reinforcements from a material with a high elastic modulus. An overpressure inside the structure causes it to take on the shape of a lobed spheroid, flattened at either pole. Application for closed balloons and pressurized containers.
