The present invention relates to a container with a side wall of plastic encloses a container volume. Horizontally oriented grooves spaced vertically apart from one another are formed in the side wall, and the grooves include first grooves for stiffening the side wall. The first grooves have a first groove depth and are configured such that a projection protruding into the enclosed container volume is formed in the inner surface of the side wall. The grooves also include second grooves having a second groove depth. The first groove depth is greater than the second groove depth. The first and second grooves are arranged such that at least one second groove is in each case arranged in the vertical direction between two first grooves. The subvolumes enclosed by two horizontal planes, which are defined by two adjacent grooves, and the side wall are in each case identical.

The invention includes a container for storing liquids, the container including a blending chamber for holding a larger volume of liquid, and an opening that can be selectively sealed or unsealed. The container also includes a sampling chamber for holding a smaller volume of liquid, and another opening that can be selectively sealed or unsealed. Fluidically connecting the blending chamber and the sampling chamber is a siphon having an upper opening in the blending chamber and a lower opening in the sampling chamber. The siphon includes a siphoning level, which is a fluid height in the blending chamber at which liquid will siphon from the blending chamber to the sampling chamber. In some embodiments the siphon is located in the blending chamber.

Provided herein is a bottle for dispensing adhesives includes a bottom portion with greater cross-section than that of a mid portion of the bottle to provide stability to the bottle. The bottom portion accommodates greater amount of adhesive therein than the mid portion of the bottle. The bottle includes a top portion having a textured top portion outer surface for improved gripping surface. The bottle includes sides with each side having a side indent to allow improved squeezing of the bottle.

Method of making a blow molded article from a preform including: a) providing a preform of a thermoplastic material having a plurality of effect structures each having an effect surface having a normal with an orientation, the preform having a body with one or more walls and an opening, wherein at least a portion of the one or more walls of the preform has a three-dimensional pattern of cavities and/or protrusions thereon; and b) blow molding the preform to form a blow molded article, wherein the step of blow molding the preform changes the orientation of the normal of at least some of the effect surfaces of the effect structures to create a visual effect in at least one wall of the blow molded article.

A delamination container includes a neck portion having an opening communicating with an inside of the inner layer, a shoulder portion continuously extending in the radial direction from the neck portion, a body portion having a bottomed cylindrical shape, and a constricted portion interconnecting the shoulder portion and the body portion. The diameter of the outer peripheral edge of the shoulder portion is 40 mm or more and 55 mm or less, the axial length from the outer peripheral edge of the shoulder portion to a constricted bottom portion which has the smallest diameter in the constricted portion is 12 mm or more and 25 mm or less, and a ratio of the diameter of the constricted bottom portion to the diameter of the outer peripheral edge of the shoulder portion is 0.80 or more and 0.93 or less.

An apparatus and method for simultaneously forming and filling a plastic container without the use of a mold forming a mold cavity (116, 16) is provided. A pressure source (120, 20) includes an inlet (146, 150, 46, 50) and a piston-like device (140, 40). The piston-like device (140, 40) is moveable in a first direction wherein liquid is drawn into the pressure source (120, 20) through the inlet (146, 150, 46, 50) and in a second direction wherein the liquid is urged toward the preform (112, 12). A blow nozzle (122, 22) may be adapted to receive the liquid from the pressure source (120, 20) and transfer the liquid at high pressure (P2) into the preform (112, 12) thereby urging the preform (112, 12) to freely expand until an unopened end thereof contacts a platen (118). The platen (118) forms a bottom in a resultant container. The liquid remains within the container as an end product.

A thin-walled plastic container for storing liquids having a pour spout on a top and a handle disposed at a point near the pour spout to a point on a front of the container. In preferred embodiments, ridges are formed into portions of the corners and edges of the container and container body to add structural support. The characteristics of the present invention allow for enhanced storage and display capability, easier product transport, and increased durability.

A bottle includes a base, neck that defines an aperture, and a body. The bottle has at least one indent in the body that projects into an interior of the bottle and extends around at least part of a circumference of the body. This at least one indent is configured to agitate a substance contained in the bottle. For example, the bottle may contain a powder, such as protein powder, and the at least one indent helps mix the powder with a liquid. In an example, two indents are used in the bottle.

The present invention is a square bottle. In the square bottle, a body portion extending in a vertical direction is configured that a panel surface portion and a corner surface portion are disposed, a circumferential groove is formed at a center portion of the body portion in the vertical direction, a recessed portion for finger contact is disposed in a portion of the circumferential groove located on the panel surface portion, a horizontal stripe portion is provided at an upper end portion of an inner surface defining the circumferential groove, and a vertical stripe portion extending downward from the horizontal stripe portion is disposed.

A container for food safe liquids for beverage dispensers, includes a first end, or bottom wall, a second end, or neck, equipped with a portion for releasing the water designed to be connected to a corresponding junction portion of a beverage dispenser and a tubular wall extending annularly along its own main central axis between the first end and the second end. The tubular wall extends along the central axis with a succession of ridges and grooves such a way as to be collapsible along the central axis to reduce its overall dimensions, so as to compensate the negative pressure generated inside the container during dispensing of the liquid preventing contact between the liquid and the air outside the container.
