Disclosed is a container made of plastic material including a body extending along a longitudinal axis between an opening and a base, the base having: a seat forming a setting plane for the container; a concave arch, rotational around the longitudinal axis and extending from the vicinity of the seat to an amorphous central zone; and stiffening bosses that protrude from the concave arch and that extend radially to the interior of the arch. The stiffening bosses are angularly spaced from one another by alternating first bosses and second bosses that are distributed along: a first annular band in which the first bosses extend; and a third annular band in which the second bosses extend.

A molding unit (1) for blow molding a container from a parison, the container including a wall portion and a base, the molding unit (1) including: a mold sidewall (2) extending along a main axis (X) and having an inner molding surface (3) defining a counter print of the wall portion of the container, and an opening (8) at a lower end of the inner molding surface (3), a cylinder jacket (10) fixed to the mold sidewall (2) and extending axially below the opening (8); a movable mold base (14) having a cylindrical bracket (17) slidingly received within the cylinder jacket (10) and a body (15) axially protruding from the bracket (17), a wear ring (33) fixed to the mold base (14), the wear ring (33) including a cylindrical guiding bushing (34) interposed between the bracket (17) and the cylinder jacket (10).

A production method for blowing a container starting from a parison comprising the steps of: i) positioning a parison inside a forming mould (2) for forming the container; ii) deforming the parison (10) placed in the mould (2); the step of deforming the parison (10) comprising the sub-steps of: introducing a pressurised fluid into the parison (10) placed in the mould (2); sucking gas which is located inside the mould (2) and outside the parison (10) present in the mould (2).

A plastic container having a sidewall defining a chamber and having a first end and a second end and an opening at the first end into the chamber. A base of the container extends from the sidewall and closes the second end, the base having an outer perimeter portion defining a support structure, an axially inwardly extending perimeter wall spaced radially inwardly from the support structure forming an angle with a horizontal line of greater than about 80, a centrally disposed pushup section in the shape of an axially inwardly extending truncated cone, and a toroidal-shaped channel circumscribing and connecting the perimeter wall to the pushup section. The toroidal-shaped channel has a surface that is asymmetrical about a central axis of the container when the container is under static pressure conditions.

A synthetic resin multilayer bottle includes an outer shell bottle and an inner container. The outer shell bottle is capable of restoring itself to its original shape against external pressure. The shoulder portion has a polygonal pyramidal shape, and the bottom portion has a polygonal pyramidal shape, including ridge lines continuing to the extended lines of the polygonal pyramidal ridge lines of the shoulder portion. The inner container includes a an inner container body having a shape extending along the internal shape of the outer shell bottle. It further includes an air passage formed between the outer mouth portion and the inner mouth portion.

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 blow molding machine assembly configured to be mounted to a blow molding machine to move a mold base configured to form a container base. The blow molding machine assembly includes an over-stroke cylinder and a counter-stretch rod. The over-stroke cylinder is configured to move the mold base between an extended base position and a retracted base position. The counter-stretch rod is movable between a retracted rod position in which the counter-stretch rod does not extend out from within the mold base, and an extended rod position in which the counter-stretch rod extends out from within the mold base.

A mold for producing a stretch-blow molded polyester bottle from a preform comprises mold parts that can be shifted between an open position and a closed position. The mold comprises: first and second mold shell, within which, in the closed position, a bottle body can be molded; a holding stopper, which can be inserted into a bottle neck; a blow pin having a compressed-air intake for biaxial stretching of the preform; and a bottom part, which closes the two mold shells at the bottom side and is configured to mold the bottle bottom. A base is formed on the bottom part, which base projects into an interior of the mold and has a side wall with an inclination angle (?) of at most 5 degrees with respect to a vertical axis (35) of the mold and is oriented in parallel with the vertical axis.

In a fixing member 110 formed with an insertion hole 113 for inserting an elevation rod 111, a communication hole 114 communicating with the insertion hole 113 is formed to open at a side surface of the fixing member 110. A key member 112 is inserted into the communication hole 114 and engaged with a key groove 118 provided at the distal end of the elevation rod 111. By so doing, the elevation rod 111 and the fixing member 110 are coupled together.

Provided is a container that includes a top having an opening configured to receive a product. The container also includes a bottom adjoining a sidewall that extends to the top of the container and a flexible panel disposed on the bottom and having a plurality of surfaces that each extend radially around a longitudinal axis of the container. One of the plurality of surfaces comprises a downward ramp that extends away from the top of the container when moving radially inward along the downward ramp and another of the surfaces comprises an upward ramp that extends toward the top of the container when moving radially inward along the upward ramp. The surfaces may include dimples protruding inward from the outer surface of the container that have an interlocking pattern.
