Definitions

  • This invention relates to an improved container and in particular to an improvement to a plastic container such as a moulded or blow-moulded plastic container, having a base of a particular shape and configuration, such as to impart, inter alia, features of strength, rigidity and stability to such containers.
  • a plastic container such as a moulded or blow-moulded plastic container, having a base of a particular shape and configuration, such as to impart, inter alia, features of strength, rigidity and stability to such containers.
  • a container having a base configuration of a generally circular outline and including five legs extending therefrom and terminating in foot portions; webs being provided between said legs; characterised in that the angular extent of each web is no greater than 8°.
  • a container having a base configuration of a generally circular outline and including five legs extending therefrom and terminating in foot portions; webs being provided between said legs; characterised in that the angular extent of each web is from 6°-8°.
  • a container having a base configuration of a generally circular outline and including five legs extending therefrom and terminating in foot portions; webs being provided between said legs; characterised in that the angular extent of each web is 6.5°.
  • a container having a base configuration of a generally circular outline and including five legs extending therefrom and terminating in foot portions; webs being provided between said legs; characterised in that the angular extent of each web is 7°.
  • a container having a base configuration of a generally circular outline and including five legs extending therefrom and terminating in foot portions; webs being provided between said legs; characterised in that the angular extent of each web is no greater than 8°, and wherein the width of said webs decreases outwardly towards the periphery of said base.
  • a container having a base configuration of a generally circular outline and including five legs extending therefrom and terminating in foot portions; webs being provided between said legs; characterised in that the angular extent of each web is from 6° to 7°, and wherein the width of said webs decreases outwardly towards said periphery from 9.0 mm to 6.0 mm.
  • a container having a base configuration of a generally circular outline and including five legs extending therefrom and terminating in foot portions; webs being provided between said legs; characterised in that the angular extent of each web is from 6° to 7°, and wherein the width of said webs decreases outwardly towards said periphery from 6.0 mm to 5.0 mm.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a container according to one form of the present invention
  • Fig. 2 is an inverted underside view of a base configuration of a container according to one form of the present invention
  • Fig. 3 is an underside view of a base configuration of a container according to one form of the present invention
  • Fig. 4 is an underside view of a base configuration of a container according to one form of the present invention.
  • the present invention provides a container, preferably a plastic container, which incorporates a base configuration which imparts features of commercial acceptability, strength and stability to the container, as compared with containers previously used on the market and as previously disclosed.
  • the container 1 is in the form of a bottle, and is formed of an appropriate thermoplastic material or plastic material, and is preferably moulded.
  • the bottle 1 has a neck 2 and a shoulder 3, the container being of a generally elongate cylindrical configuration and having a base configuration 4.
  • the base configuration 4 is of a generally circular and hemispherical configuration.
  • the base configuration 4 is formed with five spaced-apart leg formations 6 which are provided with feet 7 at the ends thereof.
  • the legs 6 are formed so as to be spaced apart one from the other by spacing ribs or webs 8.
  • the webs 8 between the legs 6 extend from a substantially medial point of the underside of the base 4, to the outer periphery of the base, the webs preferably tapering and thus lessening in width as they extend outwardly towards the periphery of the base.
  • the present container has substantially enhanced features of stability and acceptance, by reducing substantially the width and angular extent of the webs between the legs 6.
  • the webs 8 extending between the legs 6 have a substantially reduced width and are defined by an angular extent of less than 8°.
  • each leg and web formation is 72°.
  • the width of each web is defined by each web having an angular extent of less than 8°. This is substantially less than the angular extents referred to in the prior art and in particular referred to in Australian patent specification No 26754/88 and United States patent specification No 4,785,949.
  • the reduced angular extent of the webs, and the increased angular extent of each leg formation has however resulted in a substantially improved container.
  • Fig. 3 of the accompanying drawings shows an underside view of a base configuration according to one form of the present invention.
  • the angular extent of each web formation 8 is 7° wherein the angular extent of each leg formation 6 is 65°.
  • the webs 8 taper as they extend outwardly towards the periphery of the base, the webs 8 tapering from an initial width of 6 mm to a width of 5 mm at or adjacent the periphery of the base configuration. This is however by way of example only.
  • the width of the webs 8 is defined by the webs having an angular extent of 6.5°, whereas the angular extent of each leg portion 6 is 65.5°.
  • the webs taper or diminish in width as they extend outwardly towards the periphery of the base configuration, having an initial width of 9 mm and tapering to an outer width of 6 mm.
  • each web 8 in a base configuration having five legs will be less than 9° and preferably in the range of from 6.5 - 7°.
  • the width and annular extent of the webs 8 is reduced in relation to previously known and used webs, the dimensions of such angular extents and webs being referred to and described hereinbefore. It has been found that by reducing the angular extent and width of the webs, such as in the manner referred to hereinbefore, additional material utilised in the formation of the base is able to be utilised and formed in the formation of the legs 6, so that the legs and feet are extended and expanded outwardly to a greater extent than has previously been possible, these extended legs and feet allowing for a substantially improved container and in particular resulting in a container having enhanced features of stability. It should be appreciated that the invention has been described by way of example only and that modifications and improvements may be made to the invention without departing from the scope thereof as defined in the appended claims.
