  • Methods and systems for use in forming an article from a multi-layer sheet structure
    Patent number: 9669992
    Abstract: A mold includes a forming insert that includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion includes a sidewall segment and a heel segment extending from a bottom of the sidewall segment. The sidewall segment has a sidewall radius, and the heel segment has a heel radius that is less than the sidewall radius. The lower portion extends axially downward from the upper portion to define a base cavity. A forming base is positionable within the base cavity. The rim has a rim radius that is less than the heel radius and the step has a step radius that is less than the rim radius.

  • ARTICLES FORMED FROM A MULTI-LAYER SHEET STRUCTURE
    Publication number: 20120241352
    Abstract: A container includes a body that includes a sidewall and a heel extending from a bottom of the sidewall. The sidewall defines a cavity therein. The sidewall has a sidewall radius, and the heel has a heel radius that is less than the sidewall radius. A base is coupled to the heel. The container is molded from a multi-layer sheet structure including a polypropylene composition that enables the body to be substantially rigid while the base is being punctured by a puncturing device.
