A circular container for storage and transport of paint and solvents is made of a resiliently deformable plastic material and includes a side wall which defines first and second portions above an external flange, the first and second portions being separated by a folding and bending arrangement. The second wall portion is bendable outwardly and downwardly relative to the first wall portion. A bag of propylene or PET is positioned in the container and an upper portion thereof is folded around the second wall portion and is held in place by ring tension generated when the free edge of the second wall portion is bent to abut an upper edge of the flange.

1. A container for paint and solvents comprising: a circular container of a resiliently deformable plastics material, an inner lining in the form of a bag of plastics material having barrier properties to protect the plastic container against the influences from its contents being placed in the container, the container close to an upper circumference thereof being provided on an outside thereof with a flange of plastics material and moulded in one piece with the plastics container, and a resiliently deformable plastic lid secured to the container, wherein a portion of a side wall of the container protruding above the flange is divided into two portions, a first portion and a second portion, by a folding and bending arrangement, the first portion forming an unbroken extension of the side wall of the container, whereas the second portion bends outwardly and downwardly towards an upper edge of the flange due to the bending arrangement to abut on the upper edge of the flange, at a top thereof the side wall of the container is provided with a cut-out which ensures a sufficient extra resiliency of the second side wall portion, and the bag has a sufficient length to bend outwardly and downwardly together with the second portion towards the upper edge of the flange, thereby causing a ring tension in the second portion and in the portion of the bag which bends with the second portion of the side wall, the ring tension contributing in securing the bag portion around the second wall portion. 2. A container according to claim 1, wherein the height of the first and second portions and the width of the upper edge of the flange are such that through its downwards bending a top edge of the second portion is caused to abut on an outer portion of the upper edge of the flange so that the forces resulting from the ring tension in the second portion contribute to secure the bag portion around the wall portion. 3. A container according to claim 1, in which the lid along an outer periphery thereof is provided with a downward-turning lid flange having an inwardly-directed circular locking rib which in a mounted position of the lid engages under a downwardly-turning edge of the container flange and, the locking rib is bendable to release from the flange due to a thin-walled part, the lid has an inner flange portion provided with a downwardly-turning guide rib keeping the container wall portion in a downwardly bent position when the lid is mounted and further ensures that the portion of the bag which bends with the second portion of the side wall is maintained on the second portion in said downwardly bent position.
