  • Patent number: 11717990
    Abstract: A preform for a stretch-blow-molded plastic container includes an elongated, tube-like preform body. An outer wall and an inner wall delimit a bottom thickness (b). An outer wall and an inner wall delimit a wall thickness (w). An inner surface and an outer surface (E1) curved in three-dimensionally convex manners are spaced apart such that a distance from their respective apex (S, S?) to the preform body continuously increases. Extensions of the outer wall of the preform bottom along the outer three-dimensionally curved surface (E1), and of the inner wall of the preform bottom along the inner three-dimensionally curved surface (E2) are configured to be interrupted by set-backs area outside of their respective apex (S, S?) thereof.

  • Patent number: 9957077
    Abstract: A plastic container for storing liquid under a low overpressure having a container body, to whose one longitudinal end a container neck is connected, which neck has a pour opening. A bottom section has a container bottom and an edge area pulled up on the sides and that turns into the container body, is connected to the other longitudinal end of the container body. The container bottom has a curved concave section, whose periphery is connected via an axially projecting, graduated transition area to a platform that runs into the edge area pulled up on the sides. The platform and at least one partial area of the graduated transition area are interrupted by a first number of grooves. In the concave section, a second number of panel-like projections are made, which essentially extend between the graduated transition area and the longitudinal axis and end before the graduated transition area.

  • Publication number: 20100304169
    Abstract: A preform for manufacturing plastics material bottles or wide-necked vessels is described, having a rigid, substantially elongate, frustoconical body portion that is closed at one of its longitudinal ends by a dome-shaped end portion and at its opposite longitudinal end adjoins via a preform collar a neck portion provided with a pouring opening. The preform possesses in the body portion an external diameter that is reduced from the preform collar to the end portion. The body portion has a wall thickness which changes over its longitudinal extension substantially constantly by up to +2 mm. For this purpose, it possesses an internal diameter which decreases substantially constantly from a transition to the preform collar up to a transition to the dome-shaped end portion.

  • Publication number: 20100084360
    Abstract: A plastic bottle (1) and similar containers for receiving fluid substances have an elongated body (2), wherein the one longitudinal end is closed by a bottom (3) and the opposite end transitions into a neck section (4) having a pouring spout (5). A shoulder section (6) extends from the neck section (4) to a region (7) of the body (2), wherein the region has a larger diameter. The shoulder section (6) is equipped with structured regions (10) at least in a portion of the axial and circumferential extensions thereof.
