Patent number: 10968022Abstract: The present disclosure describes a hot-fill container for use with a hot-filling process. The container includes vacuum absorption sections that resist partial collapse and uncontrolled deformation of the container's walls during the hot-filling process. The vacuum absorption sections are asymmetrically-formed and include respective edge portions and panel portions configured to deform and pivot about a linear part of the edge portions when a vacuum is created inside the container. The edge portions have a curvilinear part that is adapted to comfortably receive and engage a user's fingers during use of the container, making the container more user friendly. The vacuum absorption sections are arranged about the container's central longitudinal axis such that their respective panel portions substantially form the sides of a polygon when viewed in top plan view. The polygon appears to be inscribed within an otherwise circular container periphery.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2017Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Inventors: Monis Bangi, Lesley Corker

Publication number: 20140048508Abstract: A plastic container configured to deform from an as-molded state in response to negative internal pressure, the plastic container including a substantially cylindrical container body; and a base connected to a bottom portion of the container body, the base including a standing member, a substantially central hub, and a base body extending between the standing member and the hub, wherein the base body includes a deflection rib projecting up from the base body, the rib configured to deflect when the base body deforms in response to an increase in negative internal pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2013Publication date: February 20, 2014Applicant: Constar International, LLCInventors: Satya Kamineni, Michael R. Mooney, Monis Bangi

Publication number: 20080179271Abstract: A container base that is capable of withstanding an internal pressure and further capable of causing an even deflection, such as that created by introducing liquefied gas during a hot filling process. The base includes a heel with a standing ring disposed at a lower portion thereon. A generally concave push up portion extends radially inward from the standing ring portion. At least two reinforcing rings are disposed on the push up portion, wherein the reinforcing rings diminish uneven deflection to prevent the container from tipping while resting on a flat surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2007Publication date: July 31, 2008Inventor: MONIS BANGI
