  • Patent number: 7204183
    Abstract: A container for receiving an explosive element and containing fragments projected by an explosion thereof, the container comprising a seamless enclosure made of walls defining a first open end and a first closed end. The seamless enclosure are collapsible and the walls are formed by a plurality of independent interleaved plies of material, the material and number of plies are selected to contain fragments projected by the explosion. The container also comprises an outer casing having a plurality of first and second panels defining a second enclosure for snugly receiving the seamless enclosure, the first and second panels being rigid, the first panels being hingedly connected to the second panels such that the first panels are movable between a first deployed configuration, where the first panels define a second open end corresponding to the first open end, to a second folded configuration, where the first panels at least partially close the second open end, thereby reducing a height of the outer casing.
