International Classification:
B65D 90/02
US Classification:
215381, 215379, 215382, 220666, 220675
Abstract:
A hot-fill container may have a shoulder portion, body portion, bottom portion, and numerous strengthening grooves and a thin-walled, flexible, bag-like, collapsible portion in the body portion. The collapsible portion may be located between the strengthening ribs. The container structure may also employ one or more vacuum panels in the body portion that may lie between the collapsible portion and the bottom portion. The vacuum panels and the collapsible body portion may move toward a central vertical axis when the container is subjected to an internal vacuum pressure. Strengthening grooves may border the collapsible body portion, which may be circular in pre-vacuum cross-section but polygonal in post-vacuum cross-section. Part of the collapsible portion may be concave inward toward a central vertical axis of the container while part of the collapsible portion may move away from the central vertical axis. Vertical columns may support the collapsible portion.

Hot-Fill Container

US Patent:
8308007, Nov 13, 2012
Filed:
Feb 17, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/707256
Inventors:
Luke A. Mast - Brooklyn MI, US
Frederick C. Beuerle - Jackson MI, US

Amcor Limited - Hawthorn
International Classification:
B65D 1/02
US Classification:
215381, 215382, 220675
Abstract:
A one-piece plastic hot-fill container may employ a shoulder portion, a base portion and a sidewall portion, which may be integrally formed with and extend from the shoulder portion to the base portion. The container may further employ a plurality of contour ribs molded into the sidewall portion—each of the plurality of contour ribs operable to change from a first shape to a second shape in response to cooling of the liquid and further extending outwardly from the container.

Flex Ring Base

US Patent:
8313686, Nov 20, 2012
Filed:
Feb 6, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/367002
Inventors:
Frederick C. Beuerle - Jackson MI, US
G. David Lisch - Jackson MI, US
Assignee:
Amcor Limited - Hawthorn
International Classification:
B29C 49/30
US Classification:
264534, 264524, 264531
Abstract:
Accordingly, the present disclosure provides a container and method of making a container. In one example, a preform is disposed into a mold cavity having a base forming assembly. The base forming assembly includes a base insert and a movable ring insert. The preform is blown against the mold cavity to form a body defining a base portion. The movable ring insert is advanced into the base portion to form a thinned flex point in the base portion while keeping the base insert fixed. The container is hot-filled with a commodity. The commodity is allowed to cool causing a vacuum in the container that results in the upward movement or inversion of a central inset portion defined at the thinned flex point.

Abstract:
A polyethylene terephthalate container having a hydrogen generator and catalyst disposed or otherwise incorporated in components of the container, including the closure, closure insert, label, label glue, and/or any other portions of the final container assembly. In addition, the catalyst and the hydrogen generator can both be located in the same component. Methods for dispersing the hydrogen generator and catalyst in the container wall without affecting clarity are provided.

Hot-Fill Container Having Vacuum Accommodating Base And Cylindrical Portions

View page
US Patent:
8616395, Dec 31, 2013
Filed:
Jul 30, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/847050
Inventors:
Terry D. Patcheak - Ypsilanti MI, US
David Downing - Manchester MI, US
Frederick C. Beuerle - Jackson MI, US
Walter J. Strasser - Cement City MI, US
Christopher Howe - Belleville MI, US
Luke A. Mast - Booklyn MI, US
Assignee:
Amcor Limited - Hawthorn
International Classification:
B65D 1/02
B65D 1/46
US Classification:
215381, 215373, 220609, 220672, 220675
Abstract:
A container body and base being lightweight structures designed to accommodate vacuum forces either simultaneously or in sequence. The container body and base each absorb a significant percentage of the vacuum. By utilizing a lightweight base design to absorb a portion of the vacuum forces enables an overall light-weighting, design flexibility, and effective utilization of alternative vacuum absorbing capabilities on the container body.

US Patent:
20100155360, Jun 24, 2010
Filed:
Dec 22, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/341372
Inventors:
Luke A. Mast - Brooklyn MI, US
Walter J. Strasser - Cement City MI, US
David Downing - Ann Arbor MI, US
Frederick C. Beuerle - Jackson MI, US
International Classification:
B65D 1/40
US Classification:
215383, 215381, 215382
Abstract:
A blow molded container has a neck portion defining a mouth. The neck portion leads into a shoulder portion and a bottom portion forms a container base. A sidewall portion connects the shoulder portion and the bottom portion and employs a first pair of opposing convex vacuum panels and a second pair of opposing convex vacuum panels. The first pair of opposing convex vacuum panels is larger in surface area than the second pair of opposing convex vacuum panels. A vertical column at each corner of the container joins the first pair of opposing vacuum panels to the second pair of opposing vacuum panels. A structural convex arch resides above and below each convex vacuum panel. Each of the vertical columns are molded into the structural convex arches. Vacuum initiator grooves may be molded into the first and second pair of opposing vacuum panels to control vacuum panel movement.

International Classification:
B65D 25/42
B65D 47/12
B32B 1/02
US Classification:
222109, 428 3692
Abstract:
A one-piece plastic container includes a body defining a longitudinal axis and having an upper portion, a sidewall portion and a base portion. The upper portion has a spout defining an opening into the container and a finish offset radially outwardly from the spout. A trough defines a passage into the body. The trough slopes toward the passage and defines a non-orthogonal angle relative to the longitudinal axis. According to other features, the sidewall portion is integrally formed with and extends from the upper portion to the base portion. The base portion closes off an end of the container. The finish defines a means, such as at least one thread, for attaching a closure thereon.
