Abstract:
A joint compound container includes a plurality of metal plates connected with each other to form a trench-shaped body having an opening facing upwardly. The trench-shaped body has an outer surface and an inner surface. Melted layer are formed on edges of connecting portions of each of the metal plates. A thickness of each of the melted layers is reduced from the outer surface toward the inner surface, and the melted layers are not exceeding out of the inner surface. The metal plates are connected with each other through the melted layers. Hence, the joint compound received in the container can be scraped out from the container smoothly along the inner surface of the container. Hence, the trench-shaped body of the joint compound container can have great sealing property, and the efficiency in performing the tasks can be greatly improved.

Claim (Index 4):
The joint compound container according to  claim 3 , wherein the bottom plate has a flat bottom portion and two end walls extending upwardly, two curved portions are connected between the bottom portion and the two end walls, respectively.
