Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the field of containers made of thermoplastic material, in particular PET, and more specifically relates to improvements made to those containers having a body which has, at least over part of its height, a substantially prismatic shape with a substantially triangular cross-section and having three faces connected by three respective edges.
  • Containers such as bottles equipped with a body having such a shape with a substantially triangular section and with curved faces towards the outside are already known (see, for example, the documents GM 8003050 , WO 2005/030590 ).
  • the edges are curved with a relatively small radius of curvature.
  • the object of the invention is to propose an improved arrangement of this type of container so that, despite its particular shape, it retains an elastic deformation capacity and no longer undergoes irreversible deformation, particularly in the zones of its edges.
  • the invention provides a container of the type mentioned in the preamble which is characterized in that each of the edges is shaped in the form of a groove open towards the outside and having a bottom which has an inverted curvature with convexity turned towards outside.
  • the crown of the convexity of the bottom of the groove is located substantially at the edges of the groove.
  • the edges have a complex conformation which gives them a great capacity of deformation: in the presence of a force exerted on the faces of the body, the edges can pivot, open and unfold in a perfectly elastic way to the way of a joint, which avoids any risk of irreversible deformation.
  • the edges can pivot, open and unfold in a perfectly elastic way to the way of a joint, which avoids any risk of irreversible deformation.
  • the provisions of the invention may find application in a container whose body has a substantially prismatic shape only in its central part, which is framed by an upper part and a lower part both having substantially cylindrical forms of revolution. and transverse dimensions substantially greater than the transverse dimension of said central portion, such that the central portion having the substantially prismatic shape of substantially triangular section, which is narrower than the two respectively overlying and underlying portions, constitutes a gripping zone whose particular shape ensures a particularly stable grip.
  • each groove extends to the connection of the central and upper parts of the body and that in the vicinity of this connection the depth of the groove gradually decreases. so that the bottom of the throat will blend roughly into the continuity of shape of the upper part.
  • each groove extends to the connection of the central and lower parts of the body and that in the vicinity of this connection the depth of the groove gradually decreases so that the bottom of the groove melt approximately in continuity of shape of the lower part; this arrangement can be completed by making each groove extend into the lower part of the body, the bottom of the groove merging into the continuity of shape of the lower part.
  • the groove extends to the bottom of the container to form a reinforcing rib of said bottom of the container, the bottom of the groove then having a concavity curvature turned towards the outside.
  • FIG. 1 is shown in side view a container 1 such as a bottle, made of thermoplastic material, in particular PET .
  • the container 1 comprises a body 2 which is connected superiorly, by a shoulder 3, to a neck 4 and below a bottom 5 which may have any conformation appropriate to the use of the container.
  • the body 2 has, over substantially its entire height, a substantially prismatic shape with a substantially triangular cross section, as can be seen in FIG. 3; in other words, the body 2 has three faces 6 interconnected by three edges 7; in the illustrated example, the three faces 6 are curved convexity facing outwards.
  • each edge 7 has a complex structure and is shaped in the form of a groove 8 which is open towards the outside and whose bottom 9 has an inverted curvature with convexity facing outwards.
  • the top 10 of the convexity of the bottom 9 of the groove 8 is located substantially at the edges 11 of the groove 8 of the groove 8. in order to minimize discontinuities in the outer surface of the body 2.
  • each edge 7 has, in cross-section, a very roughly rounded W-shaped conformation, which constitutes a kind of bellows with excellent elastic deformation capacity, in particular when the walls 6 are subjected to radial forces which modify them. the conformation.
  • edges arranged in accordance with the invention are not limited to the sole case of a body equipped over its entire height as shown by way of example in FIG. 1, and any substantially prismatically shaped body part. substantially triangular cross-section, regardless of the conformation of the rest of the container body, can be arranged according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is illustrated a container 1 'of the bottle type whose body 2' has a complex shape: the body 2 'has a substantially prismatic shape only in its central part 12, which is framed by an upper part 13 and a lower portion 14 both having substantially cylindrical shapes of revolution (possibly provided with reinforcing splines of any suitable shapes) and transverse dimensions substantially greater than the transverse dimension of said central portion 12.
  • the cross section shown in Figure 3 is made through said central portion; Figure 5B shows this same section partially.
  • the central portion 12 is a gripping portion which not only facilitates the gripping of the container due to its reduced transverse dimensions, but particularly in the hand because of its approximately triangular shape.
  • each groove 8 extends to the connection of the central portion 12 and the upper portion 13 of the body 2 '; it can then be done so that near this connection the depth of the groove 8 decreases gradually; in this zone, the bottom 9 of the groove 8 can receive any appropriate conformation, for example be substantially flat or, in a preferred embodiment, melt approximately in the continuity of shape of the upper part 13 (FIG. 5A, the edges 11). throat remaining marked to provide visual continuity for aesthetic purposes).
  • each groove 8 extends to the connection of the central portion 12 and the lower portion 13 of the body 2 '; it can then be done so that near this connection the depth of the groove 8 decreases gradually; in this area the bottom 9 of the groove 8 can receive any suitable conformation, for example be substantially flat or, in a preferred embodiment, melt approximately in the continuity of shape of the lower portion 14 ( Figure 5C); in addition, it can also be ensured that, as represented in FIG. 3, each groove 8 extends partially into the lower part 14 of the body 2 'and that the bottom 9 of the groove 8 merges into the continuity of shape from the lower part 14.
  • An interesting variant of embodiment may concern a container 1 ', such as a bottle, as shown in FIG. 4A in which the bottom 5' of the receptacle situated at the base of the lower part 14 has reinforcement ribs which rise partially on the side of said bottom 5 'of the container.
  • the body 2 'of the container being further arranged as explained above with reference to Figure 2, it may be interesting that the groove 8 extends to the bottom 5' of the container 1 'to form one of the ribs 15 of said bottom 5 'of the container.
  • the bottom 9 of the groove 8 then has a curvature inversion, with a concavity facing outward (Figure 5D).
  • FIG. 4B which shows the container 1 'of FIG. 4A in perspective from above, it is better to see the evolution of the shape of the bottom 9 of the groove 8 with the inversion of curvature of the central part 12 to the part 14 where the groove 8 begins to form a rib 15.
  • the groove 8 may have a variable width; in particular, as can be seen in FIG. 4A, the groove 8 keeps an approximately constant width in the central part 12 of the body 2 'of the container, but its width decreases in the lower part 14 of the body 2' to reach the width d a rib 15.
