Abstract: The invention concerns a container having a barrel-like body and a fitting sealed lid which during transport and storage prevents contamination of the content, which permits multiple opening and closing without losses of sealing integrity and which manages without an elastomeric seal as an additional material component, which is distinguished in that at least in the braced condition the lid bears sealingly with respect to the body against at least two mutually spaced sealing locations which are peripherally continuous in an annular shape around the axis of symmetry of the container.

Abstract: A continuous-casting mold for vertically casting metal strip, in particular for strip casting of copper and copper alloys, in which a mold insert has a casting opening of rectangular cross-section, and the body is provided with an outer cooling device. In order to ensure uniform cooling of the strand, the cooling device is arranged solely on the wide sides of the mold body and, starting from a bottom edge of the mold, the cooling device extends approximately up 55-75% of the height of the wide sides, the narrow sides being uncooled.
