A can container includes a can barrel and a can bottom; the can bottom includes a dome part which is concaved toward an inner side of the can container along a direction of a can axis at a center, and also includes an annular convex part which projects toward an outer side of the can container so as to shape an annular support part on an outer periphery of the dome part: and the dome part has a central dome part which is positioned on the can axis and has a set radius of curvature, and an outer peripheral dome part which is shaped continuously on an outer side of the central dome part, has a center of curvature positioned on the can axis, and has a radius of curvature smaller than the radius of curvature of the central dome part.- - -

The present disclosure describes a hot-fill container for use with a hot-filling process. The container comprises vacuum absorption sections that resist partial collapse and uncontrolled deformation of the container's walls during the hot-filling process. The vacuum absorption sections are asymmetrically-formed and include respective edge portions and panel portions configured to deform and pivot about a linear part of the edge portions when a vacuum is created inside the container. The edge portions have a curvilinear part that is adapted to comfortably receive and engage a user's fingers during use of the container, making the container more user friendly. The vacuum absorption sections are arranged about the container's central longitudinal axis such that their respective panel portions substantially form the sides of a polygon when viewed in top plan view. The polygon appears to be inscribed within an otherwise circular container periphery.

Collapsible reusable watertight carrying cases are provided in sizes varying from small containers to large sealable container bins on wheels, to provide large quantities of water to remote areas not served by public water supplies, or where water supplies are unavailable because of weather disasters. The cases are assembled or disassembled from a joined flat space-saving configuration to a functioning case and vice-versa. The sides of the cases are erected progressively by hand by interlocking elements at the corners. The panels also disassemble progressively by being manually pulled apart. When folded into a flat storage or shipping configuration, the panels stay together, resisting unfolding by virtue of snaps which are either molded into the panels or bonded to them. The carrying cases are resistant to water, dirt, bacteria, molds, allergens, and inclement weather.

A plastic container comprises an upper portion including a finish adapted to receive a closure, a lower portion including a base, and a sidewall extending between the upper portion and the lower portion. The upper portion, the lower portion, and the sidewall define an interior volume for storing liquid contents. The plastic container further comprises a pressure panel located on the container and moveable between an initial position and an activated position. The pressure panel is located in the initial position prior to filling the container, and is moved to the activated position after filling and sealing the container. Moving the pressure panel from the initial position to the activated position reduces the internal volume of the container and creates a positive pressure inside the container. The positive pressure reinforces the sidewall. A method of processing a container is also disclosed.

A container is disclosed herein that includes a plurality of sidewalls defining an upper rim, and a base. At least one handle is defined integrally with at least one horizontal reinforcement rib. A skirt extends along the sidewalls above the base. Drainage openings are defined below the skirt and at an intersectional area defined between the base and at least one of the sidewalls.

The present invention relates to containers for holding liquid samples. The containers may be useful for mixing a liquid sample or lysing cells in a liquid sample. The invention also relates to methods of using the containers of the invention.
