Description
This application is based on United States Provisional Patent
Application Serial No. 60/047,342, filed May 21, 1997.
The present invention is directed generally to blow molded
thermoplastic containers and particularly to biaxially-oriented
polyethylene terephthalate beverage bottles adapted to receive a hot-fill
product at a temperature at least on the order of 80°C.
Blow molded polyester containers adapted to be hot filled by
foods and beverages have become well known in the industry. Such
containers often include a generally cylindrical body portion which
receives a separate label. The label covers a plurality of
circumferentially spaced pressure responsive panels designed to
compensate for variations in container volume due to the cooling of the
liquid and head space gas subsequent to filling and capping of the
container. Examples of containers of this general form are to be found
in U.S. Patents Nos. 4,381,061, 4,542,029, 4,805,788, 4,863,046,
4,877,144, 5,054,632, 5,092,475, 5,178,289, 5,279,433,
5,337,909, 5,341,946, and 5,407,086.
In most of the containers of this general class, there is a
so-called "shoulder portion" existing above the cylindrical portion and
leading to a mouth defined by a finish adapted to receive a cap or
closure. The shoulder portion is subject to certain variations in design
which can be appreciated by reviewing the aforementioned patents as
well as other patents depicting containers of this general class.
Nevertheless, little attempt has been made to utilize the shoulder
portion to enhance the marketability of the product contained within
the container albeit from time-to-time the shoulder portion has included
a relief molding of a trademark of material contained within the
container, i.e., GATORADE®.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide
containers having enhanced market acceptance by utilizing the shoulder
portion of the container to enhance customer affinity.
In accordance with the present invention, a blow molded
container of thermoplastic material includes a base supporting a
generally cylindrical lower body portion including a label receiving area
which can include a series of circumferentially spaced pressure
responsive panels to accommodate for hot filling of the container. A
mouth defined by a finish portion is provided at an upper end of the
container and is adapted to receive a closure. Between the finish
portion and the generally cylindrical lower body portion, there is
provided a substantially spherical portion which includes thereon a
surface feature pattern depicting a widely recognized object likely to
enhance customer affinity to the product. Examples of such objects
include a sports ball such as a basketball, baseball, soccer ball, volley
ball, etc. A further example includes a sports helmet including a team
identifying logo, a globe of the earth including an outline of major
geological and/or geo-political features. Another example is a
caricature of a personality such as a living sports person, a movie or
record star, a comic character or the like.
In the preferred embodiment, the substantially spherical portion
having the surface feature pattern would be separated from the
cylindrical portion by a waist portion. The diameter of the generally
spherical portion would approximate the diameter of the generally
cylindrical lower body portion. The generally spherical portion of the
container would generally contribute less than half of the volume of the
container. Further, the base would preferably comprise an upwardly
raised central portion defining an outer continuous seating ring. Details
of the structure of an example of a preferred embodiment is to be
shown in the accompanying figures which depict the best mode of
carrying out the invention as presently perceived.
FIG. 1 is a side elevation view of a container in accordance with
the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the bottom and side of the
container shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a side elevation view of a container in accordance with
a second embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a side elevation view of a container in accordance with
a third embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a side elevation view of a container in accordance with
a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 6 is a side elevation view of an alternative representation of
the embodiment depicted in FIG. 1.
A container 10 in accordance with the present invention is
illustrated in the accompanying drawings, FIGS. 1 and 2. Container 10
is generally symmetric about a vertical axis "Y" passing through the
center of mouth 12 which provides access to the interior of
container 10. Mouth 12 is defined by an upper perimeter of a finish
portion 14 which includes a threaded portion 16 adapted to receive a
closure, not shown. Finish portion 14 also includes a pilfer indicating
engagement ring 18 intended to engage a lower skirt of the closure and
to cooperate therewith to irreversibly indicate opening of the closure.
A support ring 20 is provided at the lower end of finish portion 14 to
facilitate manufacture and handling of container 10. Below support
ring 20 is a neck portion 22 which flares outwardly to merge with
substantially spherical portion 24, discussed below.
At its lower end, container 10 includes base 26 having at its
lower-most extremity a continuous seating ring 28 which defines an
outer perimeter of an upwardly raised central portion 30 shown in
FIG. 2. The upwardly raised central portion 30 includes an apex 32
immediately adjacent to a lower end of the vertical axis "Y" which is
joined to seating ring 28 by a plurality of radially extending triangular
ribs 34.
An upper edge of base 26 defines a lower margin 36 of a
substantially cylindrical lower portion 38 having an upper margin 40.
The lower and upper margins 36 and 40 define the boundaries of a
label portion adapted to receive a film or paper label having product
identifying indicia thereon (not shown). The label portion includes a
series of circumferentially spaced pressure responsive panels 42.
Pressure responsive panels 42 are subject to some variation in design
as shown in the prior art, but generally include a central land 44
surrounded by a channel 46 which allows central land 44 to move
radially inward and outward in response to changes in pressure in the
container.
Above the upper margin 40 of the label panel is a waist
portion 48 which smoothly integrates with substantially spherical
portion 24. Substantially spherical portion 24 includes a surface
feature pattern depicting a widely recognized object intended to
enhance the customer affinity for the container and the product
contained therein. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the surface feature pattern
comprises a plurality of grooves or ridges 50 which, taken together,
depict the widely recognized seam structure of a basketball. It will be
appreciated that the seam structure of other sports balls could be
substituted for the illustrated seams 50 to depict a baseball, a soccer
ball as shown in FIG. 6, a tennis ball, a volley ball, etc. The surface
feature pattern could also depict, as shown in FIG. 3, a sports helmet
and face mask which together would be substantially spherical and
include a team identifying logo on a portion thereof. The surface
feature pattern could also depict a globe of the earth, as depicted in
FIG. 4, including an outline of major geological features, major
geo-political features, or other elements of interest to the purchaser of
the container. The surface feature pattern on the substantially
spherical portion could also depict a caricature of a personality, as
shown in FIG. 5, such as a movie star, a cartoon character, a famous
person of history, or the like. In each instance, the depiction is
intended to enhance the general public's affinity to the container
thereby enhancing brand and/or product loyalty.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the grooves
or ridges 50 depicted in FIGS 1-2 can be formed in the container at the
time of blow molding by providing the reverse feature in the blow mold
in which the container 10 is formed. Line 52 shown in FIG. 1 is a mold
parting line separating a left and right side of the blow mold. In the
finished product, of course, it is desirable that the mold parting line be
minimized and/or eliminated so it does not detract from the overall
appearance of the container.
Although the invention has been described in detail with
reference to the illustrated preferred embodiment, variations and
modifications exist within the scope and spirit of the invention as
described and as defined in the following claims.
