Abstract
A universal case is capable of transporting PET bottles of
a basecup type and a petaloid type. The case (2) includes an
outer shell (4, 6) and a plurality of support ribs (32, 34, 36, 38)
for reinforcing the shell. The outer shell and support ribs are
shaped to define a plurality of bottle pockets (25) for receiving
the bases of PET bottles. A bottle seating structure (40) is as
sociated with each bottle pocket (25) and includes a base-cup-
bottle alignment structure (42, 44, 48) and a petaloid-bottle
alingment structure (54, 56). The base-cup-bottle alignment
structure (42, 44, 48) is configured to orient (42, 44) a PET
bottle (100) of the base-cup-type seated in the bottle pocket
(25) so that a longitudinal symmetry axis of the bottle extends
generally parallel to a pocket centerline. The petaloid-bottle
alignment structure (54, 56) is adapted to orient a PET bottle
of the petaloid type seated in the bottle pocket (25) so that the
longitudinal symmetry axis of the bottle extends generally
parallel to the pocket centerline. The case also includes a case
rest (60) associated with each bottle pocket (25). The case rest
(60) has a central-base-surface bottle-to-case load-transmis
sion surface (61) facing the bottle pocket (25) and a case-to-
closure load-transmission surface (63) facing outward from
the bottom of the case. Contact surfaces of the base-cup-bot
tle alignment structure and the petaloid-bottle alignment struc
ture are offset from one another so that the central base sur
face bottle-to-case load-transmission surface (61) of the case
rest (60) is positioned to contact a central base surface (108,
130) of bottles (100, 120) of both the base-cup type and the
petaloid type when the bottles are seated in the bottle seating
structure (40). Cases of the invention filled with PET bottles of
either the base-cup type of the petaloid type can be stacked in
multitiered structures with the case-to-closure load-transmis
sion surfaces (63) of the case rests (60) in the upper tiers rest
ing on the tops of the closures (112, 128) of bottles (100, 122)
in cases immediately below with weight tending to be transmit
ted from a central base surface (108, 130) of a bottle (100,
120) in an upper case substantially directly compressively
through the case rest (60) of the case to the tops of the closures
(112, 128) of the bottles (110, 122) in a next lower case.
