Definitions
- a substantially rigid, lightweight plastic container should desirably have resistance to deformation and improve the aesthetic display of a label.
- plastic containers sidewall configurations that serve to improve resistance to deformation include features such as strengthening ribs or flex panels.
- a lightweight plastic structure will distort more readily, and yet a lightweight plastic container represents a highly desirable commercial structure for a variety of products. • . It is also desirable to provide an improved base structure in combination with an improved sidewall structure. It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide an improved plastic container with a strengthened body or sidewall structure.
- the improved container of the present invention comprises: a blow molded plastic container having a circular base, a cylindrical sidewall projecting upwardly from said base, a neck finish projecting upwardly from said sidewall and having an opening to the inside of the container; wherein the sidewall includes a substantially flat upper label panel and a substantially flat lower label panel spaced from the upper label panel, a plurality of spaced apart, continuous, uninterrupted, circumferential grooves each extending completely around the sidewall, said grooves being separated by raised areas, and said raised areas including a substantially flat area having a length in the direction of the central axis of the container of from 0.200 inch to 0.120 inch.
- the aforesaid grooves are located between the upper and lower label panels, and at least three and preferably at least five of these grooves are provided.
- at least one additional continuous groove is located in at least one of (1) above the upper label panel, and (2) below the lower label panel.
- At least two of the additional, continuous grooves are desirably provided.
- the additional continuous grooves are separated by raised areas, with the raised areas separating the additional grooves including a substantially flat portion having a length in the direction of the axis of the container of from 0.080 inch to 0.090 inch.
- the grooves run generally perpendicular to the central axis of the container.
- the base preferably includes a plurality of outwardly extending struts and a central recessed area. Further features of the present invention will appear hereinbelow.
- FIGURE 1 is a side view of one embodiment of the container of the present invention
- FIGURE 2 is a perspective view of the container of FIGURE 1

- FIGURES 1 and 2 show one embodiment of the container of the present invention, a 12 ounce juice container, which is a blow molded container 10 having a circular base 12, a cylindrical sidewall 14 projecting upwardly from the circular base 12, a neck finish 16 projecting upwardly from the sidewall 14 and having an opening 18 to the inside of the container.
- the sidewall 14 includes a substantially flat upper label panel 20 and a substantially flat lower label panel 22 for attachment of a label (not shown) thereto.
- the label panels each preferably have a length in the direction of the central axis 26 of container 10 from 0.150 inch to 0.200 inch.
- the sidewall 14 also includes a plurality of spaced apart, continuous, circumferential grooves 24 each extending completely around the sidewall 14 in a direction generally perpendicular to the central axis 26 of container 10.
- the grooves 24 are separated by raised areas 28.
- Grooves 24 are located between upper label panel 20 and lower label panel 22.
- five grooves 24 are located between the upper and lower label panels, with the said five grooves 24 separated by four raised areas 28.
- Continuous, gradually inclined shoulder area 30 is provided at the upper end of the sidewall 14 and above the upper label panel 20, between the upper label panel and the neck finish.
- At least one additional continuous groove 32 is located below lower label panel 22 and between base 12 and the lower label panel.
- the neck finish 16 in FIGURES 1 and 2 is a threaded neck finish having threads 34 to accommodate a threaded closure, with an outwardly extending flange 36 beneath the threads.
- Base 12 shown in more detail in FIGURE 3 desirably includes a central reGessed area 38 and a plurality of outwardly extending struts 40 having a curved cross-section.
- five struts 40a extend from the edge 42 of base 12 to the central recessed area 38
- five shorter struts 40b extend from edge 42 of the base 12 partway to recessed area 38.
- the disposition of the struts is that the shorter struts 40b alternate with the longer struts 40a.
- the struts form stable feet 44 as can be clearly seen in FIGURE 2, and provide stability to the base.

- container 10a includes two additional continuous, circumferential grooves 32 each extending completely around the sidewall 14 beneath lower label panel 22, with an additional raised area 46 between the additional grooves 32.
- An additional raised area 64 is provided above the uppermost additional groove 32.
- the base and neck finish of container 10a is essentially the same as the base and neck finish of container 10.
- container 10a includes a continuous, gradually .
- FIGURE 11 is an enlarged, detail view of the circumferential grooves 24 and raised areas 28 between the upper label panel 20 and lower label panel 22.
- the raised areas 28 include a substantially flat portion 48 having a length in the direction of central axis 26 of from 0.200 inch to 0.120 inch. In the embodiment of FIGURE 11 the length of flat portion 48 is 0.170 inch.
- FIGURE 12 is an enlarged, detail view of the additional grooves 32 beneath lower label panel 22.
- six additional grooves 32 are separated by five additional raised areas 46, including an additional, substantially flat portion 50.
- the additional substantially flat portion 50 between additional grooves 32 is shorter than substantially flat portion 48 between grooves 24.
- the length of the additional substantially flat portion or portions 50 in the direction of axis 26 will vary between 0.080 inch and 0.090 inch. In the embodiment of FIGURE 12 the length of the additional fiat portion 50 is 0.085 inch.
- the distance 52 between the center of a circumferential groove 24 and the center of a neighboring circumferential groove will vary between 0.340 inch and 0.400 inch; whereas, the additional circumferential grooves 32 are closer together, with the distance 54 between the center of an additional circumferential groove 32 and the center of a neighboring additional circumferential groove varying between 0.300 inch and 0.330 inch.
- Flat portion 48 between grooves 24 supports the label so that the label does not have an adverse wrinkling.
- the raised area or ribs 28 makes the container desirably rigid for convenient handling. The length of flat portion 48 in the direction of axis 26 between 0.120 inch and 0.200 inch has been found to be particularly advantageous.
- FIGURE 13 is an enlarged, detail view of a strut 40 on base 12.
- the upper portion or peak of strut 40 has a substantially flat portion 56 having a length of from 0.010 inch to 0.040 inch, to aid in providing stability to the container.
- Downwardly extending arms 58 define an angle 60 of from 35 degrees to 45 degrees, preferably 40 degrees, and the depth 62 of the strut will vary from 0.090 inch to 0.120 inch, preferably about 0.100 inch.
- FIGURE 6 is a still further embodiment of the container of the present invention showing a 24 ounce container 10b having a circular base 12, sidewall 14 and neck finish 16 with uppermost opening 18, as in FIGURES 1 - 2.
