Abstract: Forming a plastic container having a base portion adapted to support the container, a cylindrical sidewall projecting upwardly from the base, and a neck finish projecting upwardly from the sidewall and having an opening to the inside of the container. The container is formed with a molded outer layer with inner and outer surfaces and an inner layer extending over the inner surface of the sidewall and base, with the neck finish free from the inner layer. The outer layer is formed with at least one oxygen scavenger material that reacts with oxygen, and the inner layer includes at least one oxygen barrier material.

Abstract: A plastic blow molded container having at least six downwardly projecting legs and a plurality of curved ribs, with each rib located between two downwardly projecting legs. Each rib has an inner portion that extends outwardly from the central axis and an outer portion that extends upwardly from the inner portion, wherein the outer portion of each rib has a circumferential width equal to or greater than the circumferential width of the inner portion.

Abstract: A container (210) for holding granular/powdered material and formed by a top wall (212), a bottom wall (214), a front wall (216), a rear wall (218), a first side wall (220), and a second side wall (222). A removable lid (D) is interiorly mounted with a scoop (32) and is hinged to a collar (300) that includes a sealing gasket (330). The collar (300) mounts to the walls of the container (210). A sealing wall 240 of the lid (D) cooperates with the gasket (330) to prevent the contents from spilling. The container (210) incorporates sealing features, and a geometry for container wall junctions (50) that can have curvilinear and angled or rectilinear profiles. A scoop 32 is releasably carried in the lid (L, D) and can include a rim portion (36,a,b,c) that can be formed and or flexed to be congruent to the profiles.

Abstract: A container comprising a top wall, a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall. Each of the walls has a substantially rectangular shape. The rectangular shape of each wall enables the container to be stored easily on a shelf or counter-top. The top wall and portions of the front wall, the rear wall, the first side wall, and the second side wall form a lid. The lid is pivotally attached to the rear wall by a hinge. The lid can be opened by rotation thereof about the hinge. The front wall has at least one recess and the rear wall has at least one recess. The at least one recess of the front wall and the at least one recess of the rear wall are adjacent to the first side wall. The recesses provide a grip feature, which enables the user to manipulate the lid of the container with one hand when the container rests on a flat surface, e.g., a tabletop or a counter top.

Abstract: A plastic container having a base portion adapted to support the container, a cylindrical sidewall projecting upwardly from the base, and a neck finish projecting upwardly from the sidewall and having an opening to the inside of the container. The container has a molded outer layer with inner and outer surfaces and an inner layer extending over the inner surface of the sidewall and base, with the neck finish free from the inner layer. The outer layer contains at least one oxygen scavenger material that reacts with oxygen, and the inner layer includes at least one oxygen barrier material.

Abstract: A base for a plastic container is disclosed. The base includes a central vertical axis; an outer supporting annular portion for supporting said container on a surface; a central portion of the base, the central portion provided about said central vertical axis; and a base portion. The base portion extends between the annular portion and the central support portion of the base. The base portion includes at least two lugs that extend radially from a position adjacent the annular portion towards the central portion, the lugs including at least two stepped segments.

Abstract: The side wall portion of a plastic article, as a plastic container, is opaque and includes a transparent portion, as a view stripe. The opaque portion limits viewing the inside of the article, whereas the transparent portion permits viewing the inside of the article therethrough. A method for forming the plastic article is also disclosed.

Abstract: The plastic container includes a hollow body of plastic material having a lower supporting base, a sidewall extending upwardly from the lower base and an upper neck portion extending upwardly from the sidewall with an opening therein. The sidewall includes at least one panel having a central region and an outer boundary, with the outer boundary being depressed with respect to the central region.
