Definitions

  • the invention relates to the bottom of hollow body and hollow body according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention relates more particularly to hollow bodies obtained by blowing or stretching then blowing a preform injected with thermoplastic material (injection blow molding).
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • PEN polyethylene naphthalate
  • PP polypropylene
  • PAN polyacrylonitrile
  • blowing or stretching causes a structural hardening of the PET. Blowing or stretching also causes crystallization induced by deformation, leaving the material translucent. For conventional deformation rates, the higher the crystallinity, the higher the deformation rate and the higher the deformation rate.
  • heat setting treatment in which, just after blowing of the preform and while the container is still in contact with the walls of the mold blowing, a temperature of between 120 and 250 ° C is applied to the material for a few seconds. Then the container is cooled while being kept under pressure.
  • the bi-oriented PET has good mechanical and thermal resistance. But, as has been said above, the bottom of the containers is much less stretched than the body of the containers, so that the bottom has mechanical and thermal resistance lower than those of the body.
  • the bottom of the container must withstand shocks, for example when the full container falls.
  • the container bottom must withstand the internal pressure, especially when the container contains a carbonated beverage.
  • An internal overpressure may result from an increase in the storage temperature of the full bottles and / or the withdrawal of the plastic material from these bottles, this withdrawal generally occurring within two or three weeks of their manufacture and filling.
  • the container bottom must withstand internal depressions that may occur, especially after the container has been hot filled, and then closed before its contents are cooled.
  • the container as a whole, and in particular its bottom, must withstand the relatively severe thermal conditions encountered during hot filling or pasteurization.
  • the bottom wall is then generally convex outward and has feet, typically four to six feet formed by excrescences regularly distributed on the bottom, and separated in pairs by a portion of the convex bottom wall.
  • These petaloid bottoms are widely used for containers containing carbonated beverages.
  • the radial recesses separating the feet absorb the forces due to the pressurization during filling and maintain the bearing surfaces of the feet in a plane substantially perpendicular to the axis of the container. This solution is not always satisfactory. Under the effect of internal pressure, the petaloid bottoms may burst.
  • the petaloid bottoms can not always withstand the overpressure due to the increase in volume of the contents of the bottle, during a pasteurization.
  • Funds such as the one described in document FR 2 822 804 of the plaintiff. It describes a bottle bottom comprising in its central part a multi-branch cross-shaped footprint, this bottom being more petaloid type, each foot being provided with a stress absorption notch, separated radially from the end of the bottle. the corresponding branch of the cross-print.
  • the introduction of these stress absorption notches allows, when constraints are experienced by a foot, the location at the notch of the deformation that can result.
  • the installation of these notches leads to two more support zones on either side of each notch, these notches being partly placed in the seating area of the bottle.
  • the aim of the invention is to provide a new bottle bottom structure whose set of individual characteristics makes it possible to obtain a resistance superior to that of most funds currently known, and allows it to recover its shape after deformation.
  • a bottom according to the invention will be more resistant than most previously known bottoms bottoms. In particular, it will have better resistance to vacuum.
  • the invention also aims to provide a bottle having a good resistance to hot filling and good resistance to pasteurization, while considering a possible significant lightening of the entire container, compared to known structures. Overall lightening of the container, from 5% to 20% is thus envisaged.
  • An axial pellet 12 protrudes into the transverse central portion 11, this pellet 12 axial projecting downwards, that is to say the outside of the container provided with the bottom 4.
  • These radial ribs 1 have an inner edge 14 coming close to the transverse central portion 11, but without reaching this transverse central portion 11.
  • a bottle comprising a bottom according to the invention also has good impact resistance on the lower part of the side wall.
  • the presence of the notches 2 reduces the risk of plastic deformation of the bottle in the connection area between the side wall of a container and its seat.
