La bouteille 1 représentée aux dessins est réalisée en
matière plastique, par exemple en téréphtalate de polyéthylène. Le fond
2 de cette bouteille a son contour 3 situé dans une plan perpendiculaire à
l'axe 4 de son goulot 5, de manière à assurer la stabilité de ladite
bouteille, en position debout, quel que soit sont degré de remplissage.
Les sections de la bouteille, à l'exception du goulot 5 et qui sont prises
perpendiculairement à l'axe 4 précité, ont une allure de rectangles, aux
sommets arrondis, qui croissent régulièrement, à partir du fond 2, jusqu'à
environ deux cinquièmes de la hauteur de la bouteille pour ensuite
décroítre régulièrement en direction du goulot 5, de sorte que les petits
côtés des rectangles précités forment, de part et d'autre de l'axe 4, des
faces 6 convexes et régulières.The bottle 1 shown in the drawings is made in
plastic material, for example polyethylene terephthalate. The

une surface de roulement facilitant le vidage de son contenu lorsque l'une
d'elles repose sur un support, tel qu'une table, présente deux plans de
symétrie qui passent par l'axe 4 et qui sont parallèles aux côtés des
rectangles précités et ce, afin de faciliter et rationaliser le stockage et le
transport de bouteilles 1 groupées.This bottle 1, each of said
La progressivité optimale du transvasement du contenu de
la bouteille dans un autre récipient, par roulement sur une de ses faces 6,
est assurée par une croissance de la longueur des rectangles susdits
plus prononcée au voisinage du fond 2 de la bouteille que la
décroissance au voisinage du goulot 5 dont le diamètre est choisi pour
permettre un vidage aisé sans à-coups ni refoulement.The optimal progressivity of the transfer of the contents of
the bottle in another container, by rolling on one of its
