  • Patent number: 7614515
    Abstract: The invention is aimed at preventing bottom crack from occurring in a peelably laminated plastic container and maintaining the container stably in good in-use condition. This can be achieved by increasing the anti-peeling strength of a pair of rib strips, with which the bottom rib is formed, in the bottom seal that has been obtained by pinching off the parison at the bottom and molding the parison into a blow molded, peelably laminated plastic container. The bottom seal 13 of a blow molded, peelably laminated container 1 is reinforced by a pair of rib strips 14 which are pressed to each other to form the bottom rib 15. A multiple number of cavities 16 are formed in the bottom rib 15 in such a way that the rib strip 14 on one side is pushed toward, and caved into, the rib strip on the other side at several points, and vice verse. An expanded portion 18 is formed in the ceiling of each cavity 16.
