  • Collapse resistant container
    Patent number: 4387816
    Abstract: A freestanding unitary container fabricated from an organic thermoplastic material is disclosed which includes a neck portion terminating in a main body portion having a generally flat bottom portion. The main body portion includes opposed centrally located collapsible label panel areas having upstanding rim portions adjacent the margin of the centrally located label panel areas. A flexible hinge portion is disposed between the upstanding rim portions and the label panel portions and provides an area of flexion between the label panel areas and the rim portions. As a partial vacuum is formed in the interior of the container, the label panel areas are drawn inwardly. The flexible hinge portions flex to accommodate the change in the label panel areas and isolate the rim portions and adjoining container sidewall portions form structural distortion.
