DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT In FIG. 1: (1) denotes the cylindrical metal body of the container with a non-circular section; PA1 (2) denotes the inner cavity of the container; PA1 (3) denotes the initial thick shell, on the outer wall (4) of which flat surfaces (5) have been formed by grinding; PA1 (6) denotes the inner wall of the shell onto which crescent-shaped sections (7) have been mounted whose cross-sectional perimeter essentially comprises an arc of a circle (8), with the same diameter as that of the inner cavity (2) bounded by the inner wall (6), the arc of the circle (8) being subtended by a chord (9) which thus represents a flat surface of the inner cavity (2). It can therefore be seen that the cylindrical body of the container comprising the flat surfaces (5) and the crescents (7) subtended by their chords (9) which are parallel to the flat surfaces (5), clearly has a non-circular cross-section. The dimensions of the flat surfaces and of the crescents can vary and can be adapted to the assemblies to be arranged in the cavity 2, always ensuring, however, that the thickness of the cylindrical body 1 satisfies shielding and mechanical strength standards. FIG. 2 denotes the body of the shell (3) and the crescent (7) mounted to the inner wall 6 of the shell by means of a screw (10). FIG. 3 shows a container similar to the container of FIG. 1, but in which the container is a hexagon with rounded corners.
