A plastic container having a mouth as well as a main body on an outer surface of the plastic container and/or through the outer surface of the plastic container itself using a wall material and in the form of a raised wall portion or a wall depression in the form of a wall structure. Container information is attached, wherein the container information on the finished plastic container replaces a label. The finished produced plastic container is free of a label, and at least one stiffening region is formed on an outer surface of the plastic container and/or is formed by a wall material of the container itself, in particular the stiffening region defines at least two regions on the outer surface which are separated from each other by the at least one stiffening region and the wall structures are distributed on at least these two regions.

Hot-fillable plastic bottle including a finished portion, a body portion with at least one circumferential rib configured to resist radial distortion, and a base portion. The base portion comprises a base sidewall, a bottom support surface extending radially inward from the base sidewall and defining a reference plane, an inner support wall extending upwardly from the bottom support surface, and a diaphragm extending radially inward from the inner support wall. The diaphragm comprises an inner wall having an arcuate shape with a radius r1 and a central conical structure, where the diaphragm is in an initial as-formed position with the conical structure above the reference place. The diaphragm is configured to move from an initial as-formed position toward a second position when an internal pressure relative an external pressure exceeds a threshold value.

A plastic container comprises an upper portion including a finish defining an opening into the container, a lower portion including a base defining a standing surface, a sidewall extending between the upper portion and the lower portion, the sidewall defining a longitudinal axis, and at least one substantially transversely-oriented pressure panel located in the lower portion. The pressure panel is movable between an outwardly-inclined position and an inwardly-inclined position to compensate for a change of pressure inside the container. The standing surface defines a standing plane, and the entire pressure panel is located between the standing plane and the upper portion of the container when the pressure panel is in the outwardly-inclined position.

A container including an opening defined by a finish portion. A base is at an end of the container opposite to the opening. The base includes a deep base ring between a standing surface and a truncated cone at a center of the base. The truncated cone is mechanically movable a displacement distance from an as-blown position to a displaced position subsequent to hot-filling and capping of the container to reduce an internal volume of the container. In the displaced position, the truncated cone is closer to the opening than in the as-blown position.

A tamper evidence closure is provided for engaging with a finish so as to seal contents within the interior of a container. The tamper evidence closure comprises interior threads configured to engage with threads of a finish. A tamper evidence portion is disposed around the perimeter of a lower portion. Recesses are configured to receive and fixate thread ends disposed on the finish so as to prevent further rotation of the tamper evidence portion and configured to be outwardly flexed by the finish. Each of tamper evidence flaps includes a ramp that terminates at a catching surface that is configured to be contacted by a truncated thread end of the finish during loosening of the closure by an end-user. The tamper evidence band on the finish and the flaps are configured to remain in absence of the finish to indicate that the tamper evidence closure has been previously loosened.

A plastic container comprises an upper portion including a finish defining an opening into the container, a lower portion including a base defining a standing surface, a sidewall extending between the upper portion and the lower portion, the sidewall defining a longitudinal axis, and at least one substantially transversely-oriented pressure panel located in the lower portion. The pressure panel is movable between an outwardly-inclined position and an inwardly-inclined position to compensate for a change of pressure inside the container. The standing surface defines a standing plane, and the entire pressure panel is located between the standing plane and the upper portion of the container when the pressure panel is in the outwardly-inclined position.

A synthetic resin bottle, wherein a bottom includes: an annular-shaped peripheral portion; a protruding ridge disposed radially inward from the peripheral portion and configured to serve as a ground contacting portion of the bottle by protruding downward from the peripheral portion and configured, when deformed under reduced pressure, to make the peripheral portion serve as the ground contacting portion by displaced toward an inside of the bottle (upward); and a depressed recess located radially inward from the protruding ridge and depressed toward the inside of the bottle. The peripheral portion has an outer diameter dimension less than that of a lower end portion of the trunk, or a plurality of radiately extending groove portions is arranged side by side at an equal interval in the circumferential direction in the peripheral portion.

Hot-fillable plastic bottle including a finished portion, a body portion with at least one circumferential rib configured to resist radial distortion, and a base portion. The base portion comprises a base sidewall, a bottom support surface extending radially inward from the base sidewall and defining a reference plane, an inner support wall extending upwardly from the bottom support surface, and a diaphragm extending radially inward from the inner support wall. The diaphragm comprises an inner wall having an arcuate shape with a radius r1 and a central conical structure, where the diaphragm is in an initial as-formed position with the conical structure above the reference place. The diaphragm is configured to move from an initial as-formed position toward a second position when an internal pressure relative an external pressure exceeds a threshold value.

The invention concerns a container (40), preferably a bottle, presenting a longitudinal axis comprising a neck portion (42), a shoulder portion (44) connected to the neck portion (42), a body portion (45) comprising a label portion (46) and a grip portion (48) and connected to the shoulder portion (44) via a first connecting portion (49a), the label portion (46) and the grip portion (48) being connected together via a second connection portion (49b), and a base portion (50) forming the bottom of the container (40) connected to the body portion via a third connecting portion (49c), wherein the grip portion (48) comprises at least one undulating bead (54).

A container includes an outlet defining an opening that is in fluid communication with an interior portion of the container, the outlet having a central axis. The container also a neck portion having an upper structural ring lying in a first plane that is substantially perpendicular to the central axis, and a lower structural ring lying in a second plane that is substantially perpendicular to the central axis, wherein the first plane and the second plane being separated by a vertical distance. The neck portion may have a gusset extending between the upper structural ring and the lower structural ring, and the gusset may have a plane of symmetry, wherein the central axis lies in the plane of symmetry. The container further includes a shoulder beneath the neck portion, a waist section beneath the shoulder, and a base beneath the waist section.
