HOT FILL CONTAINER HAVING SUPERIOR CRUSH RESISTANCE

A hot fill plastic container (10) has a dome portion (24) with a convex outer surface that defines a maximum outer diameter (D2) of the container so as to extend outwardly beyond a main body portion (18) of the container. The dome portion has a first curved portion (26) having a first curvature and...

More Information
Summary:A hot fill plastic container (10) has a dome portion (24) with a convex outer surface that defines a maximum outer diameter (D2) of the container so as to extend outwardly beyond a main body portion (18) of the container. The dome portion has a first curved portion (26) having a first curvature and a second curved portion (32) having a second curvature. The generally egg-shaped dome portion enhances the crush resistance of the dome and provides a point of contact between containers when they are placed adjacent to one another. A circumferential stiffening groove (48) may be provided near a lower end of the dome portion. Un contenedor (10) de plástico de llenado en caliente tiene una porción de domo (24) con una superficie externa convexa que define un diámetro externo máximo (D2) del contenedor para extenderse hacia fuera más allá de una porción de cuerpo principal (18) del contenedor. La porción de domo tiene una primera porción curva (26) que tiene una primera curvatura y una segunda porción curva (32) que tiene una segunda curvatura. La porción de domo generalmente con forma de huevo aumenta la resistencia al aplastamiento del domo y proporciona un punto de contacto entre los contenedores cuando se colocan uno adyacente a otro. Se puede proporcionar una muesca (48) circunferencial de rigidez cerca de un extremo inferior de la porción de domo.
