Abstract: A plastic container having a main body defining an interior space and a finish defining a mouth in fluid communication with the interior space. The finish has a substantially cylindrical circumferential wall of generally uniform thickness surrounding the mouth. The circumferential wall has an upper edge with a perimeter flange and a pair of tabs projecting radially inward from the circumferential wall, the tabs defining a spout therebetween. The container is made by disposing a plastic material suitable for a blow molding process within a mold cavity, the mold cavity being configured to form a hollow blow-molded article comprising the main body and the finish as described with a moil portion extending from the perimeter flange in a direction opposite the main body. The container is made by further inflating the plastic material within the mold cavity, and removing the moil portion. The blow-molded article is also disclosed.

Abstract: A beverage bottle, a method of manufacturing a beverage bottle and a method of designing an illustration on a beverage bottle, the beverage bottle including a container (12) and a shrink-wrap (14), the container (12) having an annular sidewall (16), a bottom (18) and an opening (20) opposed to the bottom (18), the sidewall (16) extending along a longitudinal central axis (X-X) between the bottom (18) and the opening (20), the sidewall (16) being provided with a first outside constriction (22) and a second outside constriction (24) and with a first embossment (26) located between the first and second outside constrictions (22, 24), the sidewall (16) being covered with the shrink-wrap (14), the shrink-wrap (14) being depicted with an illustration having a first simulate relief (R1), the first simulate relief (R1) and the first embossment (26) being in correspondence.

Abstract: Method to manufacture a container includes disposing a first parison within a first mold assembly having a first inner surface defining a first mold chamber. The first mold assembly includes at least one first insert disposed on the first inner surface within the first mold chamber. The first parison is blow molded to form a first container body within the first mold chamber, wherein at least one first portion of the first container body corresponding to the at least one first insert has a first portion temperature greater than a remaining portion of the first container body. The at least one first portion of the first container body can be contacted to at least one second portion of a second container body to attach the first and second container bodies. Assemblies, systems, and intermediate stage pre-assembly multi-chamber containers are also disclosed, as well as multi-chamber containers formed from the same.

Abstract: Blow-molded plastic container is provided having a main body portion (102), a finish portion (110) and a sealing lip (130). The main body portion includes a bottom region (104) defining a support reference plane and an upstanding sidewall (106) defining a body portion chamber (108) and a perimeter of the main body portion. The finish portion (110) is disposed proximate an upper region of the main body portion opposite the bottom region and defines a finish portion chamber (108) and an opening (116) in communication with body portion chamber. The finish portion is configured to engage a lid member (150,250). The sealing lip (130) is disposed between the main body portion and the finish portion. The sealing lip extends inwardly from the perimeter of the main body portion and is configured to receive a sealing member (140) to seal the opening between the body portion chamber and the finish portion chamber.

Abstract: A retortable container includes a neck portion defining an opening, a main body portion and a bottom portion. The bottom portion includes four support feet, each of which has an inwardly extending convex surface, giving the bottom portion a cross-like configuration as viewed in bottom plan. Each of the support feet further includes an outwardly extending concave surface. The outwardly extending concave surface of at least one of the support feet extends upwardly into the main body portion as a substantially longitudinally oriented groove.

Abstract: A blow molded collapsible container includes a main body portion having a sidewall that defines an interior space that has a volume. The container further has a neck portion that is unitary with the sidewall. The neck portion has an opening defined therein that is in communication with the interior space. The main body portion includes opposing sides, with each of the opposing sides having an outwardly extending crease defined in a central portion thereof. The main body portion is constructed and arranged to collapse by folding along the outwardly extending creases when the volume of the interior space is reduced. The collapsible container is shaped in a manner that facilitates fabrication using an extrusion blow molding process.

Abstract: A method of producing a container, dispenser, and closure comprises blow molding a body comprising a container portion, a dispenser portion, and a closure portion joined together, and separating the closure portion from the container portion and the dispenser portion. A container, dispenser, and closure made according to the method are also disclosed, along with an intermediate product for producing a container, dispenser, and closure.
