  • Patent number: 11649085
    Abstract: A one piece plastic container for beverages, has a base region, a main body extending in the longitudinal direction of the plastic container to the base region and a mouth region with a container mouth, with the mouth region adjoining the main body in the longitudinal direction at least indirectly, wherein the base region has at least three standing feet, wherein at least one groove having a groove base extending in the circumferential direction over a circumferential angle is arranged between two, in particular adjacent feet. The wall of the container is curved inwards at least in sections in the region of the groove base of a groove.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10358250
    Abstract: A one piece plastics material container has mouth, a wall portion adjoining the mouth in a longitudinal direction (L) and a base portion in the form of a standing face. The base portion has an injection point—situated on the inside in a radial direction (R) with respect to the longitudinal direction (L)—on the outer wall of the plastics material container, a central area which surrounds the injection point, and a transition portion which extends from the central area to the wall portion. The transition portion has in at least one radial direction (R) and preferably in each radial direction (R) a curvature with a finite radius of curvature in at least one portion. The base portion has a plurality of reinforcement ribs which starting from the central area extend in the direction of the wall portion.

  • Publication number: 20120168401
    Abstract: A container of a thermoplastic material, in particular a plastic bottle, comprising a bottom comprising a first and a second surface area, where the first and the second surface area, at a constant radius with respect to the longitudinal axis of the container, each have a constant distance to a plane surface arranged to be perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, where the first surface area is offset with respect to the second surface area towards the interior of the container, where the first and the second surface area are connected by a third surface area which is embodied in the form of a coherent loop band and comprises at least three loops, and where the transition between the first surface area and the third surface area, and/or the transition between the second surface area and the third surface area are continuously differentiable at least once, in particular at least twice.
