A process for making a bottle of a polymeric material suitable for being used with carbonated drinks, comprising the steps of: positioning a preform in a mould; and blowing the preform. The process is characterized in that a total draw ratio greater than 16 is used.

Process for making a bottle of a polymeric material

Bottle

A beverage container for a carbonated beverage may include a base with a plurality of feet extending therefrom. The feet may act to reinforce a punt in the base of the beverage container to prevent deformation of the base of the beverage container when a carbonated or other pressurized beverage is added to the beverage container.

A bottle made of polymer material includes a base provided with a plurality of ribs. Each rib is composed of a curvature of the base of the bottle which forms a protuberance in the longitudinal direction directed towards the inside of the bottle. The ribs extend in a radial direction along a line of radial extension. The bottle is characterized in that the projection, in a transverse plane, of the line of radial extension of at least one of said ribs is curved.

A new profile of the internal neck that, instead of being simply cylindrical, presents an internal ring in proximity to, and at the height of, the support ledge plain and to which corresponds a specific profile in the area under the support ledge. These profiles allows a ring to be created of different shapes and geometries (SWERVE SHAPE) using the internal material between the support ledge and the area under the support ledge, thereby re-enforcing the neck and avoiding oval formation (creating problems with sealing and loss of content) as well as deformation of the support ledge during the blowing process, without impacting weight reduction. This invention allows for ultra-light containers with good physical-mechanical behavior. A further reduction of the width(s) using present technologies is not permissible due to insufficient radial rigidity. This present invention permits the light-weighting of various types of containers of different prime materials.
