Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the field of thermoplastic hot-fillable containers, and more specifically relates to improvements made to containers, in particular bottles, made of thermoplastic material such as PET, capable of being filled with a liquid hot, these containers having a body having a plurality of hollow panels extending substantially parallel to the axis of the body and distributed substantially equidistantly around the body, these panels being separated by portions of the body forming beams substantially extended vertical.
- hot liquid means a liquid having a temperature, at the moment when it is poured into the container, of at least 60 ° C., and more particularly, although not exclusively, having a temperature in the upper part of the range of at least 85 ° C and up to 90-95 ° C.
- a hot liquid has a volume substantially greater than the volume that it occupies when it is cold.
- the liquid on cooling, reduces in volume. Due to the tightness of the closure of the container, the reduction in the volume of the liquid can not be compensated by the admission of an equivalent volume of air.
- a comparable phenomenon occurs with the air contained in the container which, after closing, warms up in contact with the liquid and then cools, so that finally its pressure decreases. The container is then depressed and deforms with a digging of its walls, including the walls of his body, inwardly.
- the volume reduction can be of the order of 5 to 6 cl, which is sufficient to significantly deform the container.
- the importance of the reduction of the volume of the liquid, and therefore the importance of the concomitant deformation of the container are even greater than the temperature of the liquid filling is high.
- a container deformed in these circumstances not only has a bad appearance, but can also be rendered unstable if its bottom has been curved.
- deformable parts are generally in the form of hollow panels provided on the body of the containers, distributed around the perimeter of the body and separated from each other. others by portions of the body forming non-deformable beams.
- the panels are often of substantially rectangular or approximately rectangular shape, are optionally provided with reinforcing reliefs and are elongated parallel to the axis of the container.
- such containers have a relatively large deformability in the middle zone and are not acceptable to be marketed.
- the main purpose of the invention is to remedy, as far as possible, the inadequacies of the present containers and to propose an improved hot-fillable container structure which makes it possible to design containers of small and large capacity which, moreover, an aesthetically interesting aspect.
- the invention proposes a container as mentioned in the preamble which is characterized, being arranged according to the invention, in that: the panels are arranged on several levels around the body; the panels of two consecutive levels are separated by an annular portion of the body forming a collar substantially in surface continuity with the aforesaid beams; and each beam is hollowed out with a longitudinal median groove section and the groove sections of the beams of the successive levels are connected to each other, angularly offset from one beam to the next adjacent beam, by highly inclined groove sections extending into said collars and all inclined in the same direction substantially parallel to each other, such that the body is provided, from top to bottom, with groove sections which, connected between them, form splines configured successive successive recesses substantially parallel and distributed around the body.
- the annular parts of the body constituted by the aforesaid collars are reinforced mechanically, because of the inclination of the groove sections situated in these parts, against a crushing force due to the depression generated. by restricting the volume of the cooling liquid.
- the resistance thus obtained is all the better as these sections of groove are closer to the horizontal.
- the panels of two consecutive levels to be angularly offset so that a panel of one level is located at at least partly opposite an adjacent level beam and that the groove portions of the collar located between these two levels are inclined in the direction of the aforesaid angular offset of the panels of the two levels, whereby the inclined groove portions of the necklace have a increased length in the barometric direction of, body and collar is more resistant.
- the panels are distributed over two levels and the aforesaid collar is unique.
- the inclined groove sections of said collar have an inclination, with respect to the axis of the body, of between 40 and 90 ° and preferably of about 70 °.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view of a portion of the body of a container arranged according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a plan view of a portion of the body of a container arranged according to a preferred embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 3 is a side view of the assembly of a container incorporating the provisions of Figure 2;
- FIGS. 4A and 4B are respectively top and bottom views of the container of Figure 3;
- FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view along line V-V of FIG. 3.
- FIG. 1 there is shown a body portion 2, spread flat, a container 1 of thermoplastic material such as PET, clean to be filled with a hot liquid.
- the body 2 of this container 1 has a plurality of hollow panels 3 extending substantially parallel to the axis 4 of the body 2 and distributed substantially equidistantly around the body, these panels 3 being separated by intermediate portions of the body forming beams 5 extending substantially parallel to the axis 4.
- the panels 3 are arranged around the body 2 on several levels A, B, ...; the panels of two levels A, B consecutive are separated by an annular portion of the body forming a collar 6 substantially surface continuity with said beams 5; each beam 5 is hollowed out with a section 7 of longitudinal median groove and the groove sections 7 of the beams of the successive levels A, B, ... are connected to each other, angularly offset from a beam of one level (for example A in the arrangement shown in FIG.
- the vessel whose body is thus equipped is thus given a capacity for controlled radial deformation due to the presence of the panels 3 which remain relatively small in area at the same time as the necklaces 6 are reinforced in intermediate zones of the body. thus contribute to maintaining the general shape of the body 2 in conjunction with the shoulder and the bottom of the container.
- the panels 3 of the various levels A, B, ... are aligned in columns parallel to the axis 4 of the body 2.
- the groove sections 8, inclined from the right to the left in the downward direction in the configuration shown in FIG. 1, connect the groove sections 7 of the upper row A with the segments 7 of the preceding row groove in the underlying row B: for example, the groove section 7 of the row A located between the row panels i and i + 1 is connected by a groove section 8 inclined to the groove section 7 of the underlying row B located between the row panels i-1 and i. And so on.
- the inclined flute sections 8 have a perimeter extent corresponding to the width of a panel and approximately the width of a column.
- the perimeter extent of these groove sections 8 is therefore relatively modest.
- the zone 9 (marked by a hatching in FIG. 1) that is polygonal curvilinear of each collar 6 between two successive segments 8 of groove is relatively large, so that these zones may be subject to undesirable deformations if the Deformation efforts become important. .
- containers for being-filled with hot liquid for example at a temperature of the order of 90- 95 0 C, is provided to implement a preferred embodiment of the foregoing .
- 3 belonging to two consecutive levels A, B are angularly offset, which offset is denoted by e, with respect to each other, so that a panel 3 of a level is situated at least partially opposite a beam 5 of the adjacent level, - in addition, the groove portions 8 of the collar 6 located between these two levels A, B are inclined in the direction of the aforesaid angular offset e panels 3 of these two levels.
- the geometry of the grooves which has been explained above is preserved, namely that, for example the groove section 7 located in the row A between the panels i-1 and i is connected, by a section 8 of inclined groove , at groove section 7 located in the underlying row B between the panels i and i + 1, and so on, with this difference that the distance between the beam 5 located between the panels i-1 and i in the row A and the beam 5 located between the panels i and i + 1 in the underlying row B is here larger than in the embodiment with aligned panels parallel to the axis 4 shown in Figure 1.
- each curvilinear polygonal zone of a collar 6 which is between four adjacent panels (for example the zone 10 between the panels of ranks i and i + 1 in row A and the rows of panels i and i + 1 in the row B, which is hatched in Figure 2 to facilitate its identification), is crossed by two sections 8 of inclined grooves which are separated from each other. a distance d which is substantially lower than in the configuration of FIG. 1. This means that the groove sections 8 are more inclined than before and that furthermore portions of these two groove sections 8 extend one above the other over a distance corresponding to the offset e_.
- each collar 6 has a corrugated structure which increases its resistance.
- the collars 6 are more resistant to deformation forces to which they are subjected during the cooling of a very hot poured liquid. Note also that these same collars are able to better withstand the gripping force when the container is grasped by a hand of a user.
- FIG. 3 a container 1 in the form of a bottle containing the arrangements described above with reference to FIG. 2.
- the panels 3 are distributed on two levels A and B and the aforesaid collar 6 is then unique.
- each panel 3 is provided with a rib 11 central reinforcement, elongated substantially parallel to the axis 4.
- the implementation of the provisions according to the invention leading to the formation of mechanically reinforced annular zones in the body, allows the realization of containers away from the currently manufactured panel containers (containers of relatively low capacity, containers with body "squat” form).
- the container 1 illustrated in FIG. has a shape with a relatively slender body while having the capacity required to be filled with a very hot liquid, at a temperature of 90-95 0 C.
- the inclined groove portions 8 of said collar 6 have an inclination, with respect to the axis of the body 2, between 40 and 90 °, typically about 70 ° in the illustrated example.
- FIGS. 4A and 4B showing the bottle of FIG. 3 respectively in top view and in bottom view, perfectly demonstrate the angular offset between the groove sections 7 of the upper row A (FIG. 7 sections of groove of the lower row B ( Figure 4B).
- the number of panels in each level seems to be at least three to obtain the expected results, and can reach six to eight in the most common cases, or even more depending on the transverse dimension and shape. of the container body.
