Described is a container made of plastics material, provided with a body and with a bottom in the continuation of the body at a lower end of the body. The bottom has an oblong curved contour and includes a seating surface forming a standing plane of the container. The standing plane has an oblong closed curved shape extending along a longitudinal median axis and a transverse median axis. The standing plane also has an arched area extending from the seating surface as far as a central zone of the bottom, the arched area delimiting a concavity oriented toward the outside of the container.

Flat-bottomed plastics container

A container made of plastics material, provided with a body and with a bottom in the continuation of the body at a lower end of the body. The bottom has an oblong curved contour and includes a seating surface forming a standing plane of the container. In example embodiments, the standing plane has an oblong closed curved shape extending along a longitudinal median axis and a transverse median axis. In example embodiments, the standing plane has an arch extending from the seating surface as far as a central zone of the bottom, the arch delimiting a concavity oriented toward the outside of the container.

A container () includes a body and a petaloid base () extending the body, the base () including feet () separated into pairs by recessed valleys () that extend radially to an edge (), the base () further including a series of grooves () that extend radially, extending at least partially along the bottom of the valleys (), in which:

Container having a petaloid base and groove

Disclosed is a container made of plastics material, which is provided with a body and a bottom () that extends from a lower end of the body, the bottom () including: a peripheral base () that defines a setting-down plane (); a concave vault () which extends from a central area (), forming a peg that projects towards the inside of the container, to the base (); a set of main reinforcing grooves () which extend radially from the central area () as far at least as the base (), wherein, in the container, the vault () has a central region (), a median region () and a peripheral region () that are each separated by an internal axial indentation () and an external axial indentation () which extend annularly in a continuous manner around the central area ().

Container having a bottom provided with a vault with a double indentation

Container made of plastic material includes a body and a petal-shaped bottom () extending the body, the bottom () having a bottom wall () of general convex shape toward the outside of the container, from which feet () formed by protrusions project, separated two by two by portions of the bottom wall () forming recessed valleys () that extend radially to a periphery () of the bottom (), the bottom () also including, in each valley (), in the vicinity of the periphery () of the bottom (), at least one groove () that extends transversely relative to the radial direction of extension of the valley ().

Container having a mini-petal-shaped bottom with transverse grooves

A container made of plastic, provided with a body and with a bottom extending from an end of the body, the bottom having a peripheral seat defining a seating plane, a central zone at an inner area of the bottom surrounding a pellet and corresponding to a zone of injection of the material of a preform used to produce the container, a concave arch extending from the central zone to the peripheral seat, a series of principal reinforcing grooves extending radially from the central zone to at least the peripheral seat. The arch has two concentric regions, including a central region and a peripheral region, separated by a median axial step that extends annularly continuously around the central zone, so that the central region is raised with respect to the peripheral region.

Container having a bottom provided with a stepped arch

A container made of thermoplastic material, including a body that extends between a neck and a base that is able to withstand, without significantly deforming, a hydrostatic pressure caused by the column of a liquid contained in the container, the column of liquid being increased by a pressure not exceeding 2&#xd7;10Pa. The base includes main ribs in the form of grooves that are open towards the outside and extend approximately radially, passing through an annular zone that forms an approximately flat seat by way of which the base can rest in a stable manner on a flat support. The main ribs extend upwards on a wall connecting the base to the body of the container. The container has a shoulder that forms a joining zone between the connecting wall and the body of the container, and the main ribs extend upwards beyond the shoulder.

Bottle

The invention relates to a container (') made of a thermoplastic material, especially PET, having a body (&#x2032;) which, for at least a part of its height, is substantially prismatic in shape with a substantially triangular cross section and with three faces () joined by three edges (), each of which is shaped in the form of a groove () which opens outwards and which has a rear wall () having a reversed curvature with its convexity being directed outwards.
