  • Publication number: 20120180927
    Abstract: A method includes a first stage manufacturing a first receptacle that is lightweight, corresponding to the inner part of the body. In a second stage a second receptacle is manufactured, that is resistant, corresponding to the outer part of the body. In a third stage the first receptacle is attached to the second receptacle, and they are joined peripherally by the edges of the mouths thereof. The first receptacle is to be manufactured advantageously by extruding a foamy material, and the second receptacle by injecting a resin with fibre glass. And the attachment between the first and the second receptacles is made with any conventional system.
