Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of containers, and more particularly thermoplastic containers, for example polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the wall is subjected to stress.
  • thermoplastic containers for example polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • a container is generally manufactured by blow molding or stretch blow molding of an injected preform, which is first heated on the run in a furnace equipped with radiant heating elements, then introduced hot into a mold provided with a cavity defining the counterweight. -print of the container.
  • the temperature of the liquid during a hot filling frequently exceeds 60 ° C, and commonly reaches 90 ° C to 95 ° C (ie a temperature above the glass transition temperature of PET, a frequently used material).
  • the container is then cooled, inducing a pressure drop in the container (essentially due to the shrinkage of the volume of air it contains), the walls then being subjected to new constraints opposite to the previous ones.
  • HR heat resistant
  • the heat setting which consists, at the end of the blowing operation, to temporarily hold the container in contact with the heated wall of the mold, so as to increase the rate of crystallinity of matter.
  • the bottom of the container has a concave or convex shape, so that the bottom lowers during hot filling, then rises during cooling.
  • the deformations are thus located on the bottom of the container, and the side walls spared do not require any particular shape. In practice, however, it is rare that the side walls are not deformed, so that it appears necessary to provide zones of preferential deformation.
  • zones are generally in the form of panels surrounded by rigid frames, which panels, in the manner of membranes, deform by bouncing during filling, and conversely retract when cooling the container. Examples of such panels are given in international applications WO 99/21770 and WO 00/68095 and in the Japanese application JP 2005 280778 .
  • Containers of this type can be satisfactory from the point of view of performance, but the presence of such panels, surrounded by their rigid frames, has at least two drawbacks: on the one hand, it is a brake on reducing the amount of material ; on the other hand, it restricts designers' creative freedom, HR containers often have, in fact, forms that can be described as austere.
  • a first object of the invention is to allow additional lightening containers, especially of the HR type, without sacrificing their mechanical performance.
  • a second object of the invention is to allow the aesthetic improvement of containers with special structural provisions such as zones of preferred deformation (or on the contrary of stiffening).
  • a third object of the invention is to provide a container with improved ergonomics, facilitating its handling by a consumer.
  • the central zone and the annex zone are stiffened, and a deformable membrane is defined at the junction between the central zone and the annex zone.
  • this deformable membrane The main function of this deformable membrane is to concentrate most of the deformations during a hot filling. This results in minimization of deformations on the other parts of the container.
  • the sidewall is preferably designed so that, in the absence of stress, the deformable membrane is substantially flat in a transverse plane.
  • the auxiliary zone presents in a transverse plane a convex profile.
  • flank is preferably delimited by sharp edges.
  • auxiliary zone can be stiffened by means of longitudinal grooves framing the auxiliary zone.
  • Each groove is in this case connected to an intermediate face of the body by a leave whose radius is preferably less than that of another leave connecting the groove to the annex area.
  • the central zone which is preferably of greater width than that of the adjoining zone, can be stiffened by means of longitudinal ribs protruding from the central zone.
  • the body comprises a plurality of flanks separated by intermediate faces provided with stiffeners.
  • the sidewall comprises for example a central zone extended longitudinally by two additional zones which may be symmetrical, and whose junctions with the central zone respectively define two deformable membranes.
  • a container 1 comprising a central body 2 extending along a main axis 3 .
  • the central body 2 is surmounted by a shoulder 4 of generally conical shape, narrowing to lead to a neck 5 provided with a rim 6 and, in the example, a flange 7 adapted to allow the suspension of the container 1 , especially during filling.
  • the body 2 is closed, opposite the neck 5 , by a bottom 8.
  • the terms high, low, lower and upper are taken here with reference to the natural orientation of the containers, it being understood that in the normal position of rest the container 1 is placed on the bottom 8 , the drinking 6 directed upwards, and the main axis 3 of the container 1 oriented vertically.
  • a direction is said longitudinal if it extends parallel to the axis 3 of the container 1 ;
  • a plane is said to be longitudinal if it contains the axis 3 ;
  • a plane is said transversal if it is perpendicular to the axis 3 .
  • the container 1 is made of thermoplastic material, for example PET, and can be obtained in a known manner by stretching a pre-heated blank.
  • the body 2 is hollowed out of a series of sidewalls 9 forming depressions, which extend between a lower groove 10 on the bottom side 8 and an upper groove 11 of the shoulder 4 side.
  • Each sidewall 9 comprises a concave central zone 12 and at least one convex zone 13 adjoining longitudinally the central zone 12 , so that the sidewall 9 has, seen from the side, a corrugated profile.
  • Concavity and conversely convexity are here defined by concave container 1 , meaning that the radius of curvature is measured outside the container 1 , convex on the contrary that the radius of curvature is measured inwardly.
  • FIG. 1 Two versions of the container 1 have been represented in the figures: a first version on the Figures 1 to 10 ; a second one about Figures 11 to 17 .

  • the stiffener 17 has a dual function. First, during a hot filling, it limits, by its resistance to radial bending, the deformations of the central zone 12 which would tend to bulge under the effect of the temperature and the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid . Then, by its resistance to axial compression, it limits the crushing of the body 2 during stacking of the container 1 .

  • each zone 13 annex is doubly convex, both in a longitudinal plane in a transverse plane.
  • the central zone 12 of the flanks 9 is connected to the intermediate faces 14 by a sharp edge 15 , that is to say of radius of curvature substantially small compared to that of the intermediate faces.
