Definitions

  • the invention relates to a supportless plastic container, in particular a plastic bottle, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Plastic containers made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and similar materials are usually produced in a so-called stretch blow molding process.
  • a preform is first produced by injection molding in an injection mold.
  • flow molding or extrusion blow molding for the production of preforms are proposed Service.
  • the preform has a substantially elongated preform body and is formed closed at its one longitudinal end. At the other end of the preform body includes a neck portion, which is provided with a pouring opening.
  • the neck portion already has the later shape of the bottle neck.
  • threaded portions or the like protrusions are usually already formed for fixing a closure part.
  • a so-called snap ring is provided on the neck portion, which protrudes radially from the circumference.
  • the snap ring serves as an abutment for a detachable guarantee strip of a screw-on screw cap for a plastic container blown out of the preform or for oil bottles or the like for fixing the lower part of a commonly used hinge closure.
  • the preform body and the neck portion are separated by a so-called support ring.
  • the support ring protrudes radially and serves for the transport of the preform or of the plastic container produced therefrom and for the support of the preform on the molding tool or of the plastic container during the closure.
  • the preform remains on the injection core, which at the same time forms a kind of stretching dome.
  • the preform is in turn inflated by overpressure according to the mold cavity of a blow mold, which is delivered to the injection core or vice versa, and thereby stretched by the stretching dome. Thereafter, the finished plastic container is removed from the mold.
  • extrusion blown, injection blown or stretch blown plastic containers are usually transported immediately after demolding to a filling plant and filled.
  • plastic containers After filling, the plastic containers are automatically closed with screw caps or snap closures. These are either screwed on, bounced or snapped.
  • the annular groove in the vicinity of the fastening means assumes the function of a support ring in a supportless plastic container.
  • the circumferential annular groove with at least one abutment allows the coupling of a torque occurring when unscrewing a rotary closure or bayonet closure or the inclusion of the bounce or snap forces in a bouncing or snapping a closure part.
  • the circumferential annular groove is arranged in a structurally stronger region of the plastic container and thus relieves the rest of the container body, which may be formed correspondingly thin-walled.
  • a measured in the axial direction width of the annular groove is about 2 mm to about 20 mm.
  • the groove has a depth measured in the radial direction which is about 2 mm to about 20 mm.
  • a groove 10 is formed in one of the adjacent to the threaded portions 6 portion of the container neck shoulder 4, approximately in the first third of the axial extent of the container shoulder 4 in the direction of the container body 2, in the boundary wall 9 of the container shoulder 4 by blow molding a groove 10 is formed.
  • the groove 10 is formed as a circumferential annular groove whose cross-section is approximately perpendicular to an axis A of the plastic container. 1 extends.
  • the annular groove 10 is bounded by a radial boundary surface 11.
  • the annular groove 10 has a width w measured in the axial direction, which is about 2 mm to about 20 mm.
  • a measured in the radial direction depth d of the annular groove 10 is about 2 mm to about 20 mm.
  • the surfaces bounding the annular groove 10 may have a greater roughness than the surface of the remaining boundary wall 9 of the container shoulder 4.
  • the abutment 16 for torque absorption in close proximity above and / or below the circumferential annular groove 10 are arranged.
  • Fig. 3a shows to two projections 14 which protrude above and / or below the annular groove 10 substantially radially from the boundary wall 9 of the container shoulder 4.
  • the abutments 16 are formed by two notch-like depressions 15, which extend above and / or below the annular groove 10 substantially radially from the boundary wall 8 of the container shoulder 4 inwards.
  • the projections 14 or depressions 15 have a radial extension 1, which is about 1 mm to 10 mm. Their axial extent corresponds approximately to the width w measured in the axial direction w of the annular groove 10.
  • Additional abutment 16 for torque absorption support the coupling of a torque occurring during the unscrewing of a rotary closure on the container neck 5 in holders of a closing device. While always two abutments 16 are shown in the figures, more or only one abutment 16 may be provided. It can also recesses 13, 15 and projections 12, 14 may be provided in combination as an abutment 16. These can be arranged within the annular groove 10 and / or above and / or below it.
