Definitions

  • the object of the present invention consists of a container or pack made from a deformable material such as plastic, of the type used as a container for beverages suitable for food use, such as PET or the like, which offers fundamental advantages in both vertical and horizontal stacking in relation to traditional containers.
  • This container has a polygonal plan projection with flat side faces that are used for a stable placement of the container when laid on its side, while the plan view projection vertices of the container take the form of chamfers whose cant edges act as elements of reinforcement of the container in face of the vertical loads to be borne by the container itself.
  • Beverage containers of different materials are already known.
  • the most common of these are rigid materials such as glass, with which the most fanciful geometrical forms may be obtained, predominantly square and circular sections and other highly varied forms.
  • These containers also adopt fanciful elevational forms, for which they benefit from being made of rigid materials that withstand perfectly any product contained in said container.
  • the containering industry has gradually been inclining more and more towards the use of such plastic materials as polyethylene, PVC and other plastic suitable for food use, such as PET for instance, for the containeraging of beverages and other types of products.
  • These containers are usually manufactured by means of the initial execution of a preform consisting of a receptacle of small dimensions and thick walls which has the mouth of the final container to be made already executed.
  • This preform is heated to convert the plastic into an easily deformable product, which is blown from the inside in a mould with the shape of the final container to be obtained, said container taking on the form of the mould.
  • the object of the present invention is to obtain a container made of deformable material such as plastic or the like, the most suitable for food use being PET plastic, a container that takes on flat side faces that make it easily supportable when laid down without it rolling, whilst the container is also stackable when laid flat.
  • the purpose of the invention is that, despite not adopting a circular section, said container should be high strength.
  • the container should be easy to label by any means, such as heat-shrink plastics, paper or plastics affixed to the body of the container with adhesives.
  • the container that is the subject of the invention has been developed in such a way that it has a polygonal plan form with at least four of its sides substantially straight, whose lateral projections are flat or substantially flat faces that permit the easy support of such containers when laid on any of these sides in a stable manner.
  • grooves may be included in ring or any other fancy form that will increase the strength of the container considerably and which thanks to the surprising characteristic of the defining edges due to the lateral chamfers, they are already highly resistant in themselves.
  • the perimeter groove also forms an element for affixing the container label, labels such as those made with heat-shrink plastics, with the outer edge of the shrinkable label occupying the afore-mentioned groove, so that accidental detachment or removal from it is thereby prevented.
  • This same groove may be suitable for the attachment of other types of labels, such as those that are stuck with glue, although in this case, since such material has adhesive, said groove already performs a secondary function in preventing the removal of the label, as it is the actual adhesive that fulfils this function.
  • groupings have two main advantages compared with groupings of circular section bottles, namely the minimal space between grouped containers, whereby empty spaces are avoided, so that air is not transported in such groupings and as a result the volume occupied with these groupings is substantially smaller than with traditional containers, and secondly, the great advantage of same is that adjoining containers rest on the side faces of the containers themselves instead of on lines as happens with traditional circular section bottles, so that the risk of dispersal of the containers is minimal due to inter-face instead of on-line contact.
  • a container with the features of the invention is shown in the above-mentioned figures, a container (1) which is represented as a bottle made by means of a deformable material such as PET plastic if this container is going to be container for food use.
  • this container adopts a polygonal outline, in this case of four sides in rectangular mode, with their longer (2) and shorter (4) sides, the vertices of which are executed in the form of a straight chamfer(4), whose cant edges (5) act as reinforcing elements for the container in face of vertical loads.
  • a perimeter groove (6) could be included with a fold that would give added strength to the container.
  • Said groove could take the form of that shown in figures 2 and 3 or any other fancy form such as winding grooves, at any distance and of indeterminate number.
  • the upper portion of the container (7) continues to be a convergent development until reaching the neck of the bottle (8).
  • This upper area may be suitable for example for affixing a shrinkable plastic label, the bottom edge of which would extend as far as the perimeter groove (6), contracting in this groove and therefore with this shrinkage taking the form of a lower label retaining edge.
  • the top edge of the shrinkable plastic label would come up against to the container sealing cap in the traditional way.
  • Figure 5 shows a specimen grouping of six containers, the two most noteworthy features of these groupings being the minimal inter-container spaces, as represented by the central (10) and side (11) spaces compared with groupings of circular section bottles, so that such groups are of smaller volume, and secondly, the inter-container contact in such groupings takes place by way of the flat side faces of the containers (11) providing extremely compact groupings that do not come apart easily as the contact surface between the actual containers is considerable.
