Bottle

Surface pattern applied to a bottle

Bottle closure

This disclosure provides a method of manufacturing a polymer container according to a blow molding or stretch blow molding process, in which the base of the blow mold has at least one orifice for pressurized gas to enter the blow mold through the base. Introducing pressurized gas through the orifice in the blow mold base provides cooling assistance within the gas mold, much earlier than the cooling using conventional methods, which can reduce or eliminate the need for any post mold cooling. This method has been found to be applicable to non-hot fill application bottle and container manufacture.

Gas-assisted base blow off methods for blow molding applications

This disclosure provides new carbonated beverage bottle design, particularly carbonated soft drink bottle bases, that can afford improvements in various structural and functional features of the blow molded bottles. The bottle base design can be generated by providing a spherical bottle end cap and extruding at least three (3) feet from the spherical end cap, wherein the center portion of each valley cross section between the extruded feet is convex.

Carbonated beverage bottle bases and methods of making the same

A non-round container including a sidewall with an outer surface. A first vacuum panel is recessed beneath the outer surface and includes at least one first rib. A second vacuum panel is recessed beneath the outer surface and includes at least one second rib. A middle vacuum panel is recessed beneath the outer surface and is positioned between the first and the second vacuum panels. The middle vacuum panel includes at least one middle rib.

Vacuum panel for non-round containers

A container including at least one sidewall. The sidewall includes first and second vacuum panels, and a plurality of first and second ribs. The first and second vacuum panels are recessed beneath an outer surface of the sidewall. The second vacuum panel is spaced apart from, and vertically aligned with, the first vacuum panel. The plurality of first ribs protrude outward from the first vacuum panel. The plurality of second ribs protrude outward from the second vacuum panel.
