Plastic container (1) being composed of a neck (3), a shoulder (5), a body (4) and a base section (2), where the base section (2) comprises at least two tie members (6a) extending from a central area (8) to the side wall of the base (2). According to the invention, the tie members (6b, 6c) and/or the function of the tie members (6b, 6c) of the base (2) at least in certain areas extend into the body section (4) or into the body (4) and the shoulder section (5) of the plastic container (1).

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 bottle (1) comprising an envelop (2) defining a housing, said bottle being molded from at least one thermoplastic polymer of at least one FuranDiCarboxylic Acid (FDCA) monomer, preferably 2,5-FuranDiCarboxylic Acid (2,5-FDCA) monomer, and at least one diol monomer, preferably monoethylene glycol (MEG) monomer, wherein the envelop is provided with at least one imprint (10a, 10b).

A container may have a base, a sidewall connected to the base, a bell connected to the sidewall, and a finish connected to the bell. The base may have strap ribs to resist deformation of the base. The sidewall may have recessed columns to resist bending, leaning, crumbling, and/or stretching. The strap ribs and recessed columns may vertically line up along a central axis of the container to communicate forces on the container vertically along the container to continuously resist.

Provided is a beverage bottle capable of keeping a carbonated beverage left over therein from going flat. The beverage bottle is provided with a bottle body having a volume-reducing structure capable of reducing the volume of the bottle body, a cap capable of sealing an opening of the bottle body, and a shrunken state-maintaining means provided on the bottle body to cause the bottle body having been reduced in volume to be maintained in the reduced volume state. The volume-reducing structure is configured of helical protrusions and recesses respectively formed on the bottle body, and the shrunken state-maintaining means is provided on a trunk section of the bottle body and is configured with a squeezing means for squeezing and maintaining the trunk section having been narrowed by being squeezed along the helical protrusions and recesses.

The present application provides a bottle. The bottle may include a label panel in the form of a ripple panel having a number of undulating waves and a number of troughs therebetween and a ribbed panel having a number of ribs and a number of lands therebetween.

Disclosed is a bottle for containing a beverage which has plastic body. The bottle includes a bottom surface having a non-sliding element located to be in contact with a surface when the bottle is in the upright position. In addition or alternately, the bottle includes a neck portion which has at least two spaced apart circumferential ribs. Preferably, each of the ribs is disposed normal to a vertical axis of the bottle in its upright position. In another embodiment of the invention, the ribs are continuous along the exterior of the neck.

A container including at least one sidewall. The sidewall includes first and second vacuum panels, and a plurality of first and second ribs. The first and second vacuum panels are recessed beneath an outer surface of the sidewall. The second vacuum panel is spaced apart from, and vertically aligned with, the first vacuum panel. The plurality of first ribs protrude outward from the first vacuum panel. The plurality of second ribs protrude outward from the second vacuum panel.

A container is provided with a body portion. The body portion includes a first vacuum panel, a second vacuum panel, a third vacuum panel, a first diagonal column between the first vacuum panel and the second vacuum panel, and a second diagonal column between the second vacuum panel and the third vacuum panel. The second vacuum panel and the third vacuum panel are oriented in opposite directions. In response to a change in an internal container pressure, the body portion flexes at the first vacuum panel such that a surface of the first vacuum panel increases in concavity in response to an increasing pressure change.

Plastic container (1) being composed of a neck (3), a shoulder (5), a body (4) and a base section (2), where the base section (2) comprises at least two tie members (6a) extending from a central area (8) to the side wall of the base (2). According to the invention, the tie members (6b, 6c) and/or the function of the tie members (6b, 6c) of the base (2) at least in certain areas extend into the body section (4) or into the body (4) and the shoulder section (5) of the plastic container (1).
