Abstract: A child-resistant closure device for a rigid plastic container having a tapered neck section and method of manufacture. The device has a substantially circular neck and inner lid surface. The neck includes anchors which engage with nodes on the inner lid surface. The tapered section of the neck acts as a spring engaging the nodes with the anchors. The closure device may be engaged by rotating the lid in relation to the neck. To disengage the closure device a simultaneous downward and rotational force must be applied. The lid and the container, including the closure, can be blow molded at the same time or separately.

Abstract: A method of producing a container and a closure comprises blow molding a body comprising a container portion and a closure portion joined together, and separating the closure portion from the container portion. A container and/or a closure produced according to the method are also disclosed, as well as an intermediate product for producing a container and a closure.

Abstract: The plastic container has a heel portion having an enclosed base; a body portion transitioning into the heel portion; a bell portion transitioning into the body portion; and a finish attached to the bell portion and defining an opening. The body portion is formed into a generally tubular structure by a plurality generally flat panels. Each of the panels is connected to an adjacent panel with a chamfered post, and the body portion includes at least one vertically oriented rib at each of the chamfered posts.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plastic container having a neck, shoulder, base and body portion. There are longitudinal base panel portions with rounded, longitudinal base panel edges separating each of said flattened portions from each other at a waist. The waist has a circumferential dimension less than the base and is positioned between the body portion and the base. The body portion is positioned between the waist and the circular shoulder and has flexible, substantially flat longitudinal body panels and rounded, longitudinal body panel edges separating adjacent body panels from each other and merging with the longitudinal panel edges of said base. The longitudinal body edges increase in width as the body longitudinally merges with the circular shoulder portion, and the circular shoulder portion has a rounded portion transitioning into and merging with the body panels, and a sloping portion of reducing diameter merging with the neck.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plastic container with a substantially circular base, a lower body portion, a mid body portion, and an upper body portion, each having a respective width. The lower body portion is connected to the base and the mid body portion, the mid body portion lies between the lower and upper body portion, and the upper body portion is between the mid body portion and container neck. The mid body portion contains a substantially flat portion, with the flat portion merging into the upper and lower body portions. The container also has a waist located at approximately the center of the mid body portion, the waist having a width.
