A one piece plastic container for beverages, has a base region, a main body extending in the longitudinal direction of the plastic container to the base region and a mouth region with a container mouth, with the mouth region adjoining the main body in the longitudinal direction at least indirectly, wherein the base region has at least three standing feet, wherein at least one groove having a groove base extending in the circumferential direction over a circumferential angle is arranged between two, in particular adjacent feet. The wall of the container is curved inwards at least in sections in the region of the groove base of a groove.

Plastic container with tension band geometry at base region

A one piece plastics material container has mouth, a wall portion adjoining the mouth in a longitudinal direction (L) and a base portion in the form of a standing face. The base portion has an injection point&#x2014;situated on the inside in a radial direction (R) with respect to the longitudinal direction (L)&#x2014;on the outer wall of the plastics material container, a central area which surrounds the injection point, and a transition portion which extends from the central area to the wall portion. The transition portion has in at least one radial direction (R) and preferably in each radial direction (R) a curvature with a finite radius of curvature in at least one portion. The base portion has a plurality of reinforcement ribs which starting from the central area extend in the direction of the wall portion.
