Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of packaging liquids, particularly lubricating oils.
  • the invention is directed to a molded plastic container comprising at least one frontal wall, a top wall having at one end thereof a capped neck extending upwardly therefrom and which top wall meets the at least one frontal wall at a vertex portion at an end opposite to the neck, a bottom wall, and a generally horseshoe-shaped concave recess in the vertex portion, the recess having dimensions sufficient to receive an inverted capped neck of an adjacent molded plastic container, thereby enabling nesting of the containers.
  • the top wall typically has a downward slope from the neck to the vertex portion, and the recess typically has the shape of an incomplete circle, about 300°.
  • the scope the invention is a futuristic model featuring a concave cavity - the edge of which is horseshoe-shaped - molded into plastic containers currently used for storing lubricating oils in general and other liquids - shown from a frontal angle in Fig. 1.
  • This concave cavity 1 - the edge of which is horseshoe-shaped - will be molded in the upper section of the plastic container, which has an irregular vertical frontal profile 2, being formed starting from the center of vertex portion 3, which is formed at the point at which the lower part of angled edge 4 meets peak of the vertical edge 5, which starts at the base of the container. From the upper border of the same angled edge, there emerges circular neck 6 with a circular screw-top lid 7, such that the internal body of the container and the base are irregular, as shown in a pear shape 8 in Fig. 2.
  • This concave cavity is shown clearly in Fig. 3.
  • the edge of the cavity is horseshoe-shaped, and molded in the plastic container in the shape of an incomplete circle 9, of approximately 300°, with a diameter a few millimeters larger than the diameter of the circular screw-top lid, and its depth a few millimeters greater than the sum of the width of the circular neck and the height of the circular lid screwed down onto the neck.
  • This concave cavity when molded into a 1-liter plastic container, occupies a volume of approximately 40 milliliters.
  • this embodiment would minimize packaging costs, because the cardboard cartons which hold the containers, would be smaller in size, as well as the transportation costs, since a greater number of cartons per vehicle could be transported and therefore, proportionately, a greater number of containers per vehicle, and storage costs, since there would be considerable savings in terms of physical space. All these benefits would be achieved by the insertion of a concave cavity in the plastic containers, and this would be obtained without any substantial alteration in the former visual presentation. The old product image in terms of marketing would be totally preserved.
  • the containers of the invention By utilizing the containers of the invention, a differentiated and economic manner of packaging of the filled containers in cardboard cartons is made possible. Thanks to this differentiated and economic manner of packaging, the cubic area of a cardboard carton, which currently holds 12 containers, will be reduced to a far smaller size. The reduction of the cubic area of the cardboard carton is achieved by the innovative way of packaging the same batch of 12 containers, made possible by the concave cavity inserted to the side of the plastic containers.
  • the batch of 12 containers is currently packaged in cardboard cartons with the neck upwards and side by side in vertical position. With the insertion of a concave cavity in the side of the 12 containers, these same containers can be arranged in a differentiated manner in another cardboard carton, with a volume reduced by approximately 30%. This reduction in volume, shown in Figs. 6 and 7, will be achieved thanks to the innovative way in which the 12 containers will be laid out in the cardboard carton. There will be 6 batches with 2 containers in each batch, as seen in Fig. 7, arranged side by side.
  • Each batch of 2 containers will be arranged - in vertical position - in an inverse and anatomic way, as follows: one container will be placed with the neck upwards, and this neck will nest in the concave cavity of the other container placed, in inverted position, with the neck facing downwards; the other container will be placed with the neck facing downwards, and this neck will fit in an anatomic way into the concave cavity of the other container placed, in inverted position, with the neck facing upwards.
  • the cost survey was extremely conservative, using as a basis a pallet measuring 120 cm in length by 100 cm in width and cardboard cartons containing 12 1-liter containers of lubricating oil piled up and based on a height limit of 140 cm.
  • 2 cardboard carton piling exercises were conducted using different carton volumes, albeit each one containing 12 1-liter lubricating oil containers.
