A keg is formed from (A) a shaped jacket or liner forming a container, obtained from at least two nonsymmetrical parts (1a, 1b) welded together, one of the parts containing an opening provided with a neck, and (B) a filling/tapping device (3) positioned in the neck of the opening. The part of the co
A keg is formed from (A) a shaped jacket or liner forming a container, obtained from at least two nonsymmetrical parts (1a, 1b) welded together, one of the parts containing an opening provided with a neck, and (B) a filling/tapping device (3) positioned in the neck of the opening. The part of the container with the filling/tapping opening contains a riser or peripheral skirt (13) having a height at least equal to that of the outer part of the filling/tapping device and, optionally, sufficient to contain at least one cut-out forming a handle, and while the neck of the opening contains a part (9) extending inside the lumen of the jacket and having a limited diameter at its end (10), so as to permit passage and maintenance of the tapping device (3), and containing at least one other opening (11), advantageously on the periphery of the opening for passage and maintenance of the tapping device.

The invention claimed is: 1. Keg for tapping liquids under the effect of pressure, comprising: (A) a shaped jacket or liner forming a container (1) having an internal lumen, obtained from at least two nonsymmetrical parts (1a, 1b) welded together, one of said parts containing an opening provided wi
The invention claimed is: 1. Keg for tapping liquids under the effect of pressure, comprising: (A) a shaped jacket or liner forming a container (1) having an internal lumen, obtained from at least two nonsymmetrical parts (1a, 1b) welded together, one of said parts containing an opening provided with a neck and a riser or upper peripheral skirt (13) circumferentially surrounding the neck, and (B) a filling/tapping device (3) positioned in the neck of said opening, wherein neither the neck nor the filling/tapping device have a height such that they extend beyond the riser or upper peripheral skirt (13), wherein the neck of said opening contains a part (9) extending inside the lumen, said part (9) having an opening at its end (10), so as to permit passage and maintenance of the filling/tapping device (3), and having at least one other opening (11) connecting with the lumen, wherein the filling/tapping device (3) allows passage of liquid to and through the other opening (11) into the lumen upon filling the keg with said liquid and allows passage of gas to and through the other opening (11) upon tapping said liquid from the keg. 2. Keg according to claim 1, wherein the keg is formed by injection molding of a thermoplastic material. 3. Keg according to claim 1, wherein the jacket or liner is made of a material selected from the group consisting of high-density polyethylene, high-density polypropylene, PVC and ABS. 4. Keg according to claim 1, wherein the jacket or liner is made of a material selected from the group consisting of high-density polyethylene, high-density polypropylene, PVC and ABS. 5. Keg according to claim 4, further comprising an outer coating formed by hot metal plating. 6. Keg according to claim 1, wherein the height of said riser or peripheral skirt (13) is sufficient to be able to contain at least one cut-out forming a handle (14). 7. Keg according to claim 1, wherein the other opening(s) (11) is (are) situated on the periphery of said opening for passage and maintenance of the tapping device (3). 8. Keg according to claim 1, wherein the filling/tapping device comprises a plunger tube with non-detachable head. 9. Container for making a keg, comprising: a shaped jacket or liner forming a container (1) having an internal lumen, obtained from at least two nonsymmetrical parts (1a, 1b) welded together, one of said parts containing a filling/tapping opening provided with a neck and a riser or peripheral skirt (13) wherein the neck of said opening contains a part (9) extending inside the lumen, the part (9) having an opening at its end (10), and having at least one other opening (11) connecting with the lumen wherein the filling/tapping device (3) allows passage of liquid to and through the other opening (11) into the lumen upon filling the keg with said liquid and allows passage of gas to and through the other opening (11) upon tapping said liquid from the keg. 10. Container according to claim 9, the part (1b) forming the bottom of said container defines a lower peripheral skirt (15). 11. Container according to claim 10, wherein the lower peripheral skirt has a tapered portion which is complementary to tapered portion on the riser or upper peripheral skirt to facilitate stacking of containers. 12. Container according to claim 9, wherein the shaped jacket or liner is formed by injection molding of a thermoplastic material. 13. Container according to claim 9, wherein the jacket or liner is made of a material selected from the group consisting of high-density polyethylene, high-density polypropylene, PVC and ABS. 14. Container according to claim 9, further comprising an outer coating formed by hot metal plating. 15. Container according to claim 9, wherein the height of said riser or peripheral skirt (13) is sufficient to be able to contain at least one cut-out forming a handle (14). 16. Method of fabrication of a keg, comprising the steps of: injection molding at least two nonsymmetrical parts (1a, 1b), one of said parts containing an opening provided with a neck and a riser or upper peripheral skirt (13) circumferentially surrounding the neck, welding parts (1a) and (1b) together to form a container, said container having an internal lumen, wherein the neck of said opening contains a part (9) extending inside the lumen and having an opening at its end (10), so as to permit passage and maintenance of a filling/tapping device (3), and having at least one other opening (11) connecting with the lumen, wherein the filling/tapping device (3) allows passage of liquid to and through the other opening (11) into the lumen upon filling the keg with said liquid and allows passage of gas to and through the other opening (11) upon tapping said liquid from the keg, mounting a plunger tube (3), a peripheral gasket (5), a spring (6) and a bearing piece (7) on the neck of part (1a) of the container, and attaching a head (4, 18) by welding or screwing on the external portion of the neck of the opening of the container (1), wherein neither the neck nor the filling/tapping device have a height such that they extend beyond the riser or upper peripheral skirt (13).
