Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of containers obtained by blow molding or stretch blow molding from a blank (for example a preform or an intermediate container) made of plastic material such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate).
- a blank for example a preform or an intermediate container
- plastic material such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate).
- the invention relates more particularly to flat containers, that is to say to the containers having in section a flattened shape, typically oval or rectangular.
- This type of container is particularly suitable for certain applications (especially cosmetics) in which the content has a high viscosity, a pressure on the container body promoting the flow of the contents.
- the stability of the container is inversely proportional to its ease of handling. It is a compromise between these two constraints that the solution outlined in the aforementioned document, which proposes on the one hand to maintain the ratio W / D (where W is the large width of the container, and D its small width) between 1 , 2 and 1.8, and secondly to provide the bottom of the container rounded chamfers (sic) whose diameter is smaller in the small width of the container that in its great width.
- a first simple solution could be to increase the blowing pressure, but manufacturers face the need to control the energy consumption of machines, forcing the blowing pressure down.
- a second simple solution could be to increase the blowing time (and thus increase the cycle time) to promote a better impression of the bottom, but this solution also faces the procedural constraints, which aim to reduce the cycle time. to increase production rates.
- the invention aims to provide a flat container capable of filling one or more (and preferably all) of the following objectives: good stability;
- a plastic container provided with a flattened body and a bottom in the extension of the body at a lower end thereof, the bottom comprising:
- a peripheral seat defining:
- a height H of the cheek and a width L of the laying plane are such that:
- a transverse extension A of the laying plane and a transverse extension B of the body, measured near the bottom, are such that:
- this container offers a better compromise between ergonomics and stability.
- a small dimension A2 of the laying plane and a small dimension B2 of the body in the vicinity of the bottom are such that:
- the small dimension A2 of the laying plane and the small dimension B2 of the body in the vicinity of the bottom are such that:
- the laying plane has, parallel to the large dimension, a maximum width L1 and, parallel to the small dimension, a minimum width L2 such that:
- the cheek has, parallel to the large dimension, a height H1 maximum and, parallel to the small dimension, a height
- H2 minimum such as:
- the width L M of the laying plane is such that:
- C M is the distance from point M to an axis of the container.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view from below of a plastic container, inset, on an enlarged scale, the bottom of the container;
- FIG. 1 is a bottom view of the bottom of the container of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a detailed sectional view of the container of Figure 2, according to the sectional plane III-III;
- Figure 4 is a detail view in section of the container of Figure 3, according to the sectional plane IV-IV;
- Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 4, according to an alternative embodiment.
- Figure 1 a container 1 formed by stretching, in a mold in the cavity of the container 1, a plastic preform such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate).
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- the container 1 comprises a body 2 which extends along a main axis X and extends, on a lower side, by a bottom 3, and, on an upper side, opposite the bottom 3, by a shoulder 4 itself. even extended by a neck 5 defining a drinking.
- the body 2 has in section a flattened shape, in this case substantially oval. This shape extends to the bottom 3, whose contour is substantially the same as the body 2 in section.
- the container 1 At the junction between the body 2, at the lower end thereof, and the bottom 3, the container 1 has an external connection fillet 6 having a low radius radius arc profile (less than or equal to 2 mm). ).
- the bottom 3 comprises a peripheral seat 7 which defines a plane 8 of continuous laying, substantially perpendicular to the main axis X of the container 1, and by which the latter can lie flat on a flat surface (in particular the upper surface of a table or conveyor belt, within a handling machine on a container production line).
- the laying plane 8 is bounded transversely outwards (that is to say opposite to the axis X of the container) by an external perimeter 9 defined internally by the fillet 6.
- the laying plane 8 having an oval contour, A is not constant, and has a maximum, called large dimension and noted A1 and a minimum, called small dimension and noted A2, whose ratio is strictly greater than 1:
- B is also noted a transverse extension (or width) of the body 2, measured perpendicularly to the main axis X of the container, in the vicinity of the bottom 3, that is to say at a distance from the lower laying plane 8 or equal to one fifth of the total height of the body 2.
- the body 2 having in section an oval contour like the bottom 3, B is not constant, and has a maximum B1, called large body size and a minimum B2, called small body dimension, whose ratio is strictly greater than 1:
- the seat 7 comprises an inner annular cheek 10 which extends axially towards the interior of the container 1 in the extension of the plane 8 laying, substantially perpendicular to it.
- the laying plane 8 is connected to the cheek 10 by an internal fillet 11 having a low-radius (less than or equal to about 2 mm) arc-shaped profile, or a medium radius (between about 2 mm and 5 mm). .
- the laying plane 8 is delimited transversely towards the interior
- the bottom 3 further comprises a concave arch 13, concavity facing outwardly of the container 1.
- This arch 13 extends from the seat 7, in the extension of the cheek 10, to a central zone of the bottom defining a pin 14 which extends axially projecting inwardly of the container 1.
- H a height of the cheek 10 (coincides with an internal height of the seat 7), measured axially between the laying plane 8 and the junction of the cheek 10 with the roof 13;
- L a width of the laying plane 8 (coincides with a width of the seat 7), measured radially between the inner perimeter 12 and the outer perimeter 9.
- the bottom 3 is dimensioned as follows:
- the height H of the cheek 10 and the width L of the laying plane 8 are such that:
- transverse extension A of the bottom 3 and the transverse extension B of the body 2 in the vicinity of the bottom 3 are such that:
- the A1 / B1 and A2 / B2 ratios can be dimensioned separately; they can be substantially identical:
- the ratio A2 / B2 is greater than or equal to 0.90, and for example substantially equal to 0.95, as illustrated in FIG. A2
- This dimensioning which moves the outer perimeter 9 of the laying plane 8 outwards, that is to say opposite the axis X, gives the container 1 a substantially cylindrical shape in the vicinity of the bottom 3. This results in an increase in the stability of the container 1 in the plane of the small dimension A2.
- the ratio A1 / B1 may also be greater than or equal to 0.90, and for example substantially equal to 0.95, as illustrated in FIG. 4:
- the ratios A1 / B1 may be different, the ratio
- A1 / B1 being preferably lower than the ratio A2 / B2:
- the ratio A2 / B2 being maintained greater than or equal to 0.90, and for example approximately equal to 0.95 as illustrated in FIG. 3, the ratio A1 / B1 is then less than 0.90, and for example substantially equal to 0.89, as illustrated in FIG. 4:
- the width L of the laying plane 8 is not constant along its perimeter 9, but has a maximum noted L1, measured in parallel. to the large dimension A1, and a minimum, noted L2, measured parallel to the small dimension A2, whose ratio is strictly greater than 1:
- the laying plane 8 is wider parallel to the large dimension A1 than parallel to the small dimension A2. This greater relative width of the laying plane 8 in the larger dimension contributes to a good blowing of the bottom 3 in this direction, minimizing the risk of occurrence of distortions (or flatness defects) on the laying plane 8.
- the narrowness of the laying plane 8 in the small dimension gives it a quasi-linear character which reduces the risk of hyperstatism of the seat 7 and therefore increases the stability of the container 1.
- the ratio L1 / L2 is between 1 and 3:
- this ratio is about 2: r- 2
- the height H of the cheek 10 is not constant along the perimeter 9 of the laying plane 8, but has a minimum, noted H1, measured parallel to the large A1 dimension of the laying plane, and a maximum, denoted H2, measured parallel to the small dimension A2, whose ratio is strictly less than 1:
- the ratio H1 / H2 is between 0.5 and 1:
- this ratio is approximately 0.95:
- the ratio A1 / A2 is strictly greater than 1.8:
- the ratio A1 / A2 is about 1.9:
- the width of the laying plane 8 at all points remains low compared to the distance to the axis X of the container 1. This ensures a more homogeneous formation of the seat 7 during the blowing of the container 1, the material being distributed more uniformly on the periphery of the laying plane 8. This results in better blowing of the container 1 and a better stability thereof.
- the bottom 3 of the container 1 is formed by a stretch-blow molding process comprising a boxing operation, within a mold provided with a lateral wall defining an impression corresponding to the body 2 of the container 1 and a mold base movable relative to the wall, so as to cause an over-stretching of the bottom 3, conducive to good rigidity and a good impression of it.
