Definitions
- Container comprising a square-vaulted bottom
- the invention relates to the manufacture of containers, such as bottles or pots, obtained by blow molding or stretch blow molding from thermoplastic preforms.
- the manufacture, by blowing, of a container generally consists in introducing into a mold to the imprint of the container a blank (term designating either a preform or an intermediate container obtained by pre-blowing a preform) previously heated to a temperature greater than the glass transition temperature of the material, and to inject into the blank a gas (such as air) under pressure.
- the blowing can be completed by preliminary stretching of the blank by means of a sliding rod.
- the double molecular orientation that the material undergoes during blowing gives the container a certain structural rigidity.
- a technical solution to promote the structural rigidity of a container is to stretch the bottom of the container, by means of a special mold equipped with a mold bottom movable in translation which pushes the material (see in particular the European patent EP 1 069983). Overdrawing induces an increase in the rate of deformation of the material and therefore a mechanical increase in its crystallinity.
- boxing does not guarantee that the rigidity of the bottom will be satisfactory; that's why we usually combine it with form tips.
- blowing means the capacity of the container to be formed by blowing, or in other words the ability of the material to conform properly to the material. mold cavity).
- An object of the invention is to improve, at equal or lower weight and, preferably, at equal or lower blowing pressure, the mechanical performance of a container, while maximizing its blowing.
- the invention provides a plastic container, provided with a body and a bottom extending at a lower end of the body, the bottom comprising:
- An annular seat extending substantially in the extension of the body and defining a laying plane and an inner annular cheek substantially perpendicular to the laying plane;
- a concave arch that extends from an area near the seat to a central area
- Such a container has increased stability and rigidity, thanks in particular to the combination of the wide seat (in the extension of the body) and the square seat.
- the axial dimension H of the cheek and the radial dimension L of the laying plane are such that:
- the axial dimension of the cheek and the radial dimension of the laying plane are preferably substantially equal.
- the container further comprises:
- junction face (which is for example frustoconical and has a predetermined angular opening) between the arch and the cheek;
- junction face A series of curves, protruding from the junction face inward between the stiffeners and can modify locally (by increasing or decreasing the contrary) the angular opening of the junction face.
- each curve has an arcuate inner edge, which projects over the arch, and lateral edges which may be non-parallel.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view from below of a plastic container
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view, on an enlarged scale, showing the bottom of the container of Figure 1 according to a first embodiment
- Figure 3 is a section of the bottom of the container of Figure 2;
- Figure 4 is a detail of the bottom section, according to the inset IV of Figure 3;
- Figure 5 is a perspective view, similar to Figure 2, illustrating a second embodiment of the bottom of the container
- Figures 6 and 7 are detail views in section, respectively along the section plane VI-VI and VII-VII of Figure 5;
- Figure 8 is a perspective view, similar to Figure 5, illustrating an alternative embodiment of the bottom of the container;
- Figures 9 and 10 are sectional detail views, respectively along the section plane IX-IX and XX of Figure 8;

- This container 1 comprises, at an upper end, a neck 2 threaded, provided with a drinking 3.
- the container 1 comprises, in its upper part, a shoulder 4 flaring in the direction opposed to the neck 2, this shoulder 4 being extended by a side wall or body 5, of generally cylindrical shape of revolution about a main axis X of the container 1.
- the container 1 further comprises a bottom 6 which extends at a lower end of the container 1.
- the base 6 comprises a seat 7 in the form of a thin annular bead which extends substantially axially in the extension of the body 5.
- the seat 7 ends with a continuous and annular face which forms the lower end of the container 1 and defines a laying plane 8 perpendicular to the axis of the container 1, whereby the latter can rest stably on a flat surface S ( Figure 3).
- the laying plane 8 extends radially over a width L and is connected outwards to an external lateral face 9 of the seat 7 (which extends in the extension of the body) by an outer fillet 10 with a small radius , that is to say of the order of a millimeter.
- the seat 7 Towards the interior of the container 1, the seat 7 comprises an annular cheek 11 that extends axially inwardly of the container 1 in the extension of the laying plane 8, substantially at right angles to it.
- the laying plane 8 is connected inwardly to the cheek 11 by an inner fillet 12 preferably with a small radius of curvature - less than or equal to about 1 mm.
- the bottom 6 further comprises a concave arch 13 (concavity facing the outside of the container 1 in the absence of stress, that is, that is to say in the absence of content in the container 1), which extends in the extension of the cheek 11 to a central zone 14 of the bottom 6.
- the vault 13 is shallow, and its curvature is not very pronounced.
- the maximum angle A1 of its tangent with a plane perpendicular to the X axis of the container 1 is small - less than or equal to about 21 °.
- the bottom 6 comprises, in the extension of the vault 13, a central pin 15 which extends axially projecting towards the inside of the container 1.
- the vault 13 is not connected to the cheek 11 directly, but via a junction face 16 of generally frustoconical shape of revolution about the axis X of the container 1, whose the angle A2 with a plane perpendicular to the axis X of the container 1 is between 31 ° and 70 °.
- the cheek 11 extends axially over a height H whose ratio to the width L of the laying plane 8 is between 0.6 and 1.5:
- the ratio L / H is closer to 1, being between 0.8 and 1, 2:
- the seat 7 has in section a substantially square profile, as can be seen in FIGS. 4, 6, 9 and 12.
- the wide seat 7, the diameter of the laying plane 8 is substantially equal to that of the body 5 in the vicinity of the bottom 6, combined with the small radius of the outer leave 10, provides the container 1 a better stability than conventional seat whose diameter of the laying plane is substantially less than the diameter of the body, and whose leave high radius promotes the rolling of the bottom.
- the container 1 can be manufactured by stretch blow molding from a plastic preform such as PET.
- a plastic preform such as PET.
- the roof 13 is smooth and is in the form of a spherical cap.
- the aspect ratio is about 0
- junction face 16 is smooth, and is limited to a truncated cone whose angle A2 is relatively pronounced, its value being about 65 °, thus giving the vicinity of the seat 7 a good structural rigidity.
- the relative simplicity of shape of the bottom 6 gives it a good puffability, which allows to blow the container 1 at a moderate pressure, less than or equal to 25 bars.
- the roof 13 is provided with a series of stiffeners 17 in the form of projecting branches which extend radially from the central zone 14 of the bottom 6 to the plays 11, and which together form a star pattern.
- the stiffeners 17 are connected to the central zone 14 of the bottom 6 by an inner radial end 18 and are connected to the flange 11 by an outer radial end 19.
- the stiffeners 17 are 8, but this number is provided as an example and could be different. More precisely, this number can be between 4 and 12; for purposes of mechanical strength, it is preferably between 6 and 10.
- the height, the width and the shape of the stiffeners 17 may vary according to the applications.
- the stiffeners 17 may be straight or arcuate in the shape of a Y pointing either towards the center or towards the periphery of the bottom, or in the form of X.
- the stiffeners 17 have an inverted Y profile, and have, for about half of their length, an I-shaped straight internal portion of substantially constant width, which is extended by an inverted V-shaped outer portion 21 which widens from the inner portion to the outer end 19.
- the vault 13 defines panels 22 recessed whose profile is complementary to that of the stiffeners 17.
- Each stiffener 17 has a concave lower face 23 which extends in the extension of the surface of the central zone 14 and two lateral edges 24 which form fillets 25, 26 for connecting the lower face 23 with the recessed panels 22 .
- the edges 24 are of double radius, and comprise a first fillet 25 with a convex profile, which is flush with the lower face 23, followed by a second fillet 26 with a concave profile. , which is flush with the panel 22.
- the central zone 14 of the bottom 6 is reduced to the pin 15, which on its periphery delimits the inner ends 18 of the stiffeners 17.
- the pin 15 has a star-shaped profile, the internal ends 18 of the stiffeners 17 being thinned while being bevelled.
- fillets 27 are provided at the outer ends 19 of the stiffeners, to ensure their connection with the junction face 16, on the one hand , and with the cheek 11, on the other hand.
- the ratio L / H is substantially equal to 1:
- the bottom 6 is reinforced by means of a peripheral series of curves 28 each formed radially projecting inwards, on the face 16 of junction between the cheek 11 and the roof 13, between the outer ends 19 of two adjacent stiffeners 17.
- the curves 28 are convex in the direction of the axis X of the container 1 and locally reverse the curvature of the face 16.
- the curves 28 also have the effect of locally modifying the angular aperture A2 of the face 16.
- each curve 28 has a substantially trapezoidal contour, and comprises:
- an outer edge 30 which extends at the boundary between the cheek 11 and the face 16 (in the embodiments of Figures 5 and 8) or protrudes on the cheek (in the embodiment of Figure 11); the outer edge may be straight ( Figure 5) or arcuate outwardly of the container 1 ( Figures 8 and 11);
- the two side edges 31 are spaced apart from each other towards the inside of the container 1, and form an angle of 90 °.
- the curve 28 has the effect of decreasing the angular aperture A2 of the face 16: approximately 45 ° to the outside of the curve 28 (FIG. the angle A2 is about 35 ° in a median radial plane with the curve 28 (corresponding to the section plane V 11 -V II).
- the lateral edges 31 move away from each other towards the inside of the container 1 and form a closed angle, less than 45.degree. occurrence of about 31 °).
- the outer edge arched towards the outside of the container 1, projects (at least) partially over the cheek 11.
- the curve 28 has the effect of decreasing quite weakly the angular aperture A2 of the face 16: about 45 ° outside the curve 28 (Figure 9), the angle A2 is about 40 ° in a median radial plane to the curve 28 (corresponding to the plane of section XX).
- the lateral edges 31 are spaced apart from each other towards the outside of the container 1, and form an angle of 60 °.
- stiffeners 17, by their shape, act in the manner of struts, ensuring a radial recovery of the axial forces exerted on the roof 13 by the hydrostatic pressure of the contents of the container 1.
- the stiffeners 17 bearing against the 11 plays at their ends, the radial recovery of forces is reflected in a permanent centrifugal radial stress exerted by the stiffeners 17 on the seat 7 via the cheek 11, which helps to stiffen the seat 7, particularly preventing ovalization.
- Curves 28 have two main functions. A first function of the curves 28 is to increase the rigidity of the bottom at the junction between the arch 13 and the seat 7 between the stiffeners 17; a second function is to compensate for the degradation of the bottom blowing 6 due to the presence of the stiffeners 17.
- blowing pressure can be maintained at a value of less than 28 bars, and in practice between 20 bars and 28 bars.
