Definitions
- PETAI QIPE.
- the invention relates to improvements to bottom receptacles of the "petaloid" type, such as bottles, pots, or any other receptacle having such a bottom and obtained either by blowing, or drawing and then blowing, of a preform injected with material. thermoplastic (injection-blowing) or by extrusion then blowing a parison (extrusion-blowing).
- the invention particularly relates to improvements to such types of funds.
- thermoplastics have been used until now: by way of example, mention may be made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate
- PEN polyacrylonitrile
- PAN polyacrylonitrile
- the preforms used in the injection blow molding processes are in the form of tubes which are blown, either drawn and then blown.
- the longitudinal axis of the preform or the parison corresponds to that of the final container: it follows that, both during the possible stretching and the blowing, the stretching of the material is zero or almost zero in the center of the bottom, and increases as you get closer to the wall of the container.
- This type of container has a cylindrical part forming the body of the container and, at its lower part, a bottom wall of generally convex shape towards the outside, from which feet (typically 4 to 6 feet) leave, formed by growths regularly distributed over the bottom, and separated in pairs by a portion of the convex bottom wall.
- the bottom is constructed in such a way that when the empty container is upright, there is sufficient clearance between the central part of the convex wall and the support plane of the base of the feet.
- the guard is such that, when the filled container deforms, either due to the mass of its content, or due to the internal pressure prevailing in the container (when the latter is, for example, a bottle filled with a carbonated drink ), it remains stable, even if the central part approaches the support plane during deformation.
- the petaloid bottoms known hitherto have the drawback that in the long term, under the action of internal pressure which may exist in the container, they sometimes burst. This results from the shape of the convex part and / or the attachment of the feet with the latter and with the cylindrical wall of the container.
- the convex part presents variations or inversions of curvature between its connection to the wall of the container and its central point:
- the central zone of the convex part can be a circular flat pellet: in such a case, under the effect of internal pressure, this zone sometimes tends to deform and be pushed back down of the container, so that micro-cracks appear in this area, or else, the tablet separates from the rest of the bottom;
- the central zone of the generally convex shaped part may appear under the shape of a concavity dome facing outwards: the peripheral limit of the central part constitutes a rupture zone.
- the invention therefore aims to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks and relates to a container having a resistant petaloid bottom and the proportions of which remain acceptable in all circumstances.
- a container having a substantially cylindrical wall, and a bottom of the petaloid type extending this wall, said bottom comprising a wall of generally convex outward shape, from which at least three feet formed by regularly protuberances distributed around the periphery of the bottom and separated two by two by a portion of the convex bottom wall, is characterized in that the bottom wall is hemispherical, with the exception of a peripheral peripheral zone of connection with the cylindrical wall; in that said marginal zone has a curvature with an inflection, so that the connection between the bottom wall and the peripheral marginal zone, as well as the connection between the cylindrical wall and the peripheral marginal zone takes place almost tangentially ; and in that the upper end of each leg is connected to the cylindrical wall.
- a container having the above characteristics solves all of the problems mentioned. It is resistant because, on the one hand, the presence of a hemispherical wall makes it possible to uniformly distribute the stresses due to the internal overpressure or to the mass of the content. There is therefore no longer any privileged area where the initiation of rupture is likely to occur.
- the marginal connection area is, in turn, able to deform under the action of stresses, which further reduces the stresses experienced by the hemispherical wall.
- the situation and the curvature of the marginal zone are such that the deformation is limited and the risks of rupture nonexistent: in fact, in the marginal zone, the material is strongly stretched, therefore the mechanical resistance is high; moreover, the shape of its curvature (inflected) allows it to deform without the material stretching further; moreover, the almost tangential connection to the peripheral wall, on the one hand, and to the hemispherical part, on the other hand, prevents the appearance of zones of rupture or tearing; finally, since the upper end of each of the feet is connected to the peripheral wall, a mechanical reaction is exerted between the upper ends of two neighboring feet and the inflected marginal part situated between said feet, limiting the deformation of the marginal part under the effect of constraints.
- This structure makes it possible to keep acceptable proportions whatever the dimensions of the container: it suffices, for example, to choose an appropriate radius of curvature for the hemispherical part and / or to move the location of the center of curvature relative to the axis longitudinal of the container, or alternatively, to adapt the curve and the dimensions of the marginal zone.
- connection of each foot in the direction of the central pole of the hemispherical part takes place substantially tangentially.
- the absence of a break in slope or, at most, the existence of a slight slope at this junction between the feet and the hemispherical zone eliminates the zones of weakness.
- connection is made in the immediate vicinity of the central pole of the hemispherical part.
- the feet and said part are mutually reinforcing.
- This has a considerable advantage when the container is produced by blowing a preform previously injected: in fact, in this case, the central pole of the container is constituted by the point of injection of the material. However, it is known that this pole is a fragile area. The mutual reinforcement exerted between the feet and the hemispherical part therefore greatly increases the holding of the container.
- FIG. 1 is a side view of a plastic bottle to which the invention is applicable;
- FIG. 2 is a schematic view, from below, of a bottom according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 is a partial sectional view AA of Figure 2;
- FIG. 4 is a partial sectional view BB of Figure 2;
- FIG. 5 is a partial view in section AA of the bottom of Figure 2 when the latter is deformed under the effect of internal stresses;
- FIG. 6 A, 6 B, 6 C illustrate how the relative height of the bottom can vary on containers of the same diameter.
- the container shown in Figure 1 is a bottle 1, for example for containing a carbonated or carbonated drink. It is made of a thermoplastic material known per se (PET, PAN, or other) or a mixture of different materials, by extrusion blow molding or injection blow molding of its constituent material. It is indeed to this type of container that the invention is preferably applied.
- This container comprises a body 2 forming a cylindrical wall, surmounted by a shoulder 3, leading to a neck 4, terminated by a neck 5 threaded or adapted in any other way to receive a stopper (not shown).
- the bottom comprises feet 6 formed by protuberances starting from a hemispherical wall 7 with convexity facing outwards.
- the upper end of each foot ends at body 2.
- the feet 6 are regularly distributed over the bottom and are separated two by two by a portion of the hemispherical wall 7.
- the radii of curvature RI, R2 on either side of the point of inflection 9 are determined so that the connection of the marginal zone 8 on the one hand to the wall 2 of the container, and, on the other hand, to the part convex 7 hemispherical is almost done tangentially, that is to say without there being any significant break in the slope in the connection zones, so as not to create a point of weakness at these zones.
- the radius of curvature R of the hemispherical part 7 is chosen so as to be between 80% and 120% of the radius of the cylindrical wall 2 of the container 1.
- the height of the feet 6 is determined so that a guard exists between the central pole 10 of the hemispherical part 7 and the plane passing through the bearing surface 11 of each of the feet 6.
- each of the legs is connected directly to the wall 2.
- the junction between the feet 6 and the wall 2 takes place tangentially, as illustrated by FIGS. 3 and.
- each foot 6 and the hemispherical part 7, in the direction of the central pole 10 of the latter takes place almost tangentially.
- Figure 5 illustrates in section the shape that the bottom takes under the action of a stress (internal overpressure or heavy liquid).
- the marginal zone 8 located between two feet 6 which deforms to absorb the stress.
- the hemispherical part 7 it does not undergo any significant deformation.
- the marginal zone takes a curvature with a convexity turned towards the outside, prolonging the curvature of the hemispherical part.
- the initial shape of parts 7 and 8 is shown in broken lines.
- the diameter of the container is identical to that of FIG. 6 A
- the radius of curvature Rb of the hemispherical part 7 is identical to that Ra of the corresponding part of FIG. 6 A, but the area marginal in Figure 6 B is wider.
- the height Hb of the hemispherical part is lower in FIG. 6 B, so that the overall height of the bottom of FIG. 6 B is smaller than that Ha of the bottom of FIG. 6 A.
- the radius of curvature Rc of the hemispherical zone is less than that Ra or Rb of FIGS. 6 A and 6 B, and the width of the marginal zone and its average slope, are identical to those of FIG. 6 A.
- the height Hc of the bottom of figure 6 C is lower than that Ha of the bottom of figure 6 A.
