Description

Container with a lid

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a container.

Background

It is a common option to contain the objects in a container for storage or transport convenience, etc. In practice, however, for some objects, in particular liquids (e.g. beverages), after being filled at normal temperature (20 ℃ to 30 ℃), the container body will deform by being sucked in during cold storage at low temperature (. ltoreq.4 ℃) and the container bottom will bulge during storage at high temperature (. ltoreq.55 ℃), which deformation will significantly affect the appearance of the product and in the worst case will cause a height change and make it impossible to fill the container in a corresponding warm cabinet.

Although some methods for maintaining the appearance of the product have been proposed so far, such as increasing the weight of the container to secure the strength of the container body; digging a pit similar to a rectangle in the container body, and adding a beam or other structures in the pit to enhance the strength of the container; the filling amount is increased, the volume of air in the container is reduced, and therefore the internal pressure or negative pressure generated by the volume change of liquid and air is reduced when the environmental temperature changes.

Disclosure of Invention

It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved container.

In view of the above objects, an embodiment of the present invention relates to a container including: a container mouth; and a container body connected to the container mouth and including a main body portion provided with a panel, wherein the strength of a geometric center portion of the panel is smaller than that of other portions of the container.

In this manner, it is possible to help prevent deformation of other portions of the container by deforming the panels inwardly or outwardly to significantly affect the appearance of the product without increasing the weight of the container, digging a rectangular-like depression in the container body and adding a cross member, or increasing the amount of the contents.

Optionally, the panel is located on the side of the container body.

Thus, the deformation of the part except the side part of the container body can be prevented, and the appearance of the product can be kept.

Optionally, the panel comprises a first edge, a second edge, a third edge and a fourth edge connected.

In this manner, deformation of the container may be facilitated to occur within the panel area defined by the first edge, the second edge, the third edge, and the fourth edge.

Optionally, the container body includes a container bottom connected below the main body portion, and the second edge and the fourth edge are parallel to a plane of the container bottom.

In this way, it may be advantageous for the panel to have two edges parallel to the plane of the container bottom.

Optionally, the second edge is located at an upper edge of the main body portion, and the fourth edge is located at a junction of the main body portion and the container bottom.

Thus, the panel can be in the largest range in the vertical direction of the main body part, and the panel can be in small deformation and can better keep the appearance of a product.

Optionally, the first angle θ 1 and the second angle θ 2 between the first edge and the third edge and the plane are each 60 degrees to 80 degrees.

Thus, the shape of the panel can be consistent with the direction of the container body, and the appearance of the product can be kept.

Optionally, the first included angle θ 1 and the second included angle θ 2 are the same as each other.

Thus, the deformation of the panel can be facilitated to be uniform, and the appearance of the product can be better maintained.

Optionally, the remaining part of the body portion other than the face plate is located on the same cylindrical side.

In this manner, it may be advantageous to maintain a generally cylindrical product appearance through the remainder.

Optionally, the face plate is recessed inwardly relative to the cylindrical side surface, the depth of the recessed face plate relative to the cylindrical side surface at each point being not exactly the same.

Therefore, the appearance of the product can be well maintained, and the product can be guided and the holding feeling can be enhanced when the product absorbs negative pressure and resists internal pressure.

Optionally, the depth is in a gradual transition in size between the first edge and the third edge, and between the second edge and the fourth edge.

Thus, the deformation size can be gradually changed on the panel, and the appearance of the product can be well maintained.

Optionally, the depth of the geometric center is greater than the depth of the panel at other locations, and the depth of the geometric center is 0.2mm to 3mm when the container has a capacity of up to 2L.

Thus, deformation can be facilitated to occur at the panel, strength of the container body can be enhanced, weight of the container can be reduced, and the like.

Optionally, the number of panels is 6 or 8.

In this manner, less overall variation in product appearance may be facilitated, which may help to better maintain product appearance.

Optionally, the remaining portion comprises a spacer between two adjacent panels.

As such, the grip feel may be facilitated to be enhanced by the spacer, while at the same time may help support the label, maintaining product appearance.

Optionally, the panels are evenly spaced apart from each other on the body portion by the spacing portion.

In this way, deformation may be facilitated to occur uniformly throughout the container, material required for container formation may be facilitated to be evenly distributed, more uniform in absorbing pressure, and may help maintain product appearance.

Optionally, the container is for holding a liquid.

Optionally, the liquid is a beverage.

Optionally, the container is a bottle.

Optionally, the container is made of polyethylene terephthalate or a composite plastic containing polyethylene terephthalate.

Thus, the container can be easily processed, and the cost is low.

Detailed Description

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a container according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, embodiments of the present invention relate to a container 10 including a container finish 12; and a vessel body 14 connected to the vessel mouth 12 and including a main body portion 18 provided with a face plate 16, the strength of a geometrically central portion 20 of the face plate 16 being less than the strength of the rest of the vessel 10.

In this manner, it is possible to help prevent deformation of other portions of the container 10 by deforming the panels 16 inwardly or outwardly to significantly affect the appearance of the product, without requiring deformation of the product due to changes in ambient temperature by increasing the weight of the container 10, digging a rectangular-like depression in the container body 14 and adding a cross member, or increasing the amount of the product contained.

Unless specifically indicated to the contrary, in the present application, "inner" and "outer" are both relative to the central axis 13 of the container 10, being inner relatively closer to the central axis 13 of the container 10 and outer relatively further from the central axis 13 of the container 10.

The inventors have found through experimentation that when the container 10 is required to be deformed due to a change in ambient temperature when the panel 16 is provided on the main body portion 18 of the container 10, deformation occurs preferentially at the panel 16 because the strength of the geometric center portion 20 of the panel 16 is less than the strength of the other portions of the container 10.

For example, when the container 10 is refrigerated at a low temperature after being filled with an object at a normal temperature, the panel 16 may be deformed inward, and when stored at a high temperature, the panel 16 may be expanded and bulged outward, thereby completing the deformation of the container 10 and preventing other portions of the container 10 from being deformed to significantly affect the appearance of the product.

Optionally, the face plate 16 is located on the side of the container body 14.

Thus, it is possible to prevent deformation of the container body 14 except for the side portions, and it is possible to maintain the appearance of the product.

For example, when the container 10, such as a sleeve label, is refrigerated at a low temperature after containing an object at a normal temperature, the panel 16 at the side of the container body 14 may be deformed inward to be separated from the label 11 at the outside of the container 10 (fig. 9), and when stored at a high temperature, the panel 16 at the side of the container body 14 may be expanded outward to be bulged, thereby completing the deformation of the container 10, and, for example, the bottom of the container 10 is expanded outward to be bulged, thereby maintaining the appearance of the product.

Fig. 2 is a schematic front view of the container of fig. 1. Optionally, the panel 16 includes a first edge 22, a second edge 24, a third edge 26, and a fourth edge 28 that are connected.

As such, deformation of the container 10 may be facilitated to occur within the area of the panel 16 defined by the first, second, third, and

fourth edges

22, 24, 26, 28.

Fig. 3 is a schematic right-side view of the container of fig. 1. As shown in fig. 2 and 3, optionally, the container body 14 includes a container bottom 30 connected below the body portion 18, and the second edge 24 and the fourth edge 28 are parallel to a plane P in which the container bottom 30 lies.

In this manner, it may be advantageous for panel 16 to have two edges that are parallel to plane P of container bottom 30.

Optionally, the second edge 24 is located at an upper edge 32 of the body portion 18 and the fourth edge 28 is located at an interface 34 of the body portion 18 and the container bottom 30.

In this way, the panel 16 can be advantageously expanded in the vertical direction of the main body portion 18, and the panel 16 can be advantageously deformed little and can maintain the appearance of the product well.

Optionally, the first and second angles θ 1, θ 2 between the first and

third edges

22, 26 and the plane P are each 60 to 80 degrees.

In this manner, it is advantageous for the shape of the panel 16 to conform to the orientation of the container body and for the appearance to be more consistent.

In this manner, uniform deformation of the panel 16 may be facilitated, which may help to better maintain product appearance.

Figure 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the container of figure 3 taken along plane a-a. Fig. 5 is a schematic top view of the container of fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a schematic bottom view of the container of fig. 1. Referring to fig. 3 to 6, optionally, the remaining portion 36 of the body portion 18, excluding the faceplate 16, is located on the same cylindrical side 38.

In this manner, it may be advantageous to maintain a generally cylindrical product appearance through the remainder 36.

The body 14 of the container 10 may have a generally cylindrical shape. The remaining portion 36 on the same cylindrical side 38 may help stabilize the original, e.g., cylindrical, shape of the vessel body 14, maintaining the appearance of the product when the panel 16 is deformed.

Alternatively, the face plate 16 is recessed inwardly relative to the cylindrical side 38, and the depth D at which the face plate 16 is recessed inwardly relative to the cylindrical side 38 at each point is not exactly the same.

In this manner, it may be advantageous to ensure that the strength of panel 16 is less than the strength of the rest of container 10, which may help deformation occur at panel 16 and better maintain product appearance. The greater the depth D of the depression, the greater the pressure resistance of the panel 16.

Optionally, the depth D is in a gradual transition in magnitude between the first edge 22 and the third edge 26, and between the second edge 24 and the fourth edge 28.

In this manner, a gradual transition in deformation magnitude across the panel 16 may be facilitated, which may help to better maintain product appearance.

Optionally, the depth D of the geometric center 20 is greater than the depth D of the panel 16 at other locations, and the depth D of the geometric center 20 is 0.2mm to 3mm when the container has a capacity of up to 2L.

In this manner, deformation can be facilitated to occur at the panel 16, the strength of the container body can be enhanced, the weight of the container can be reduced, and the like.

The greater the depth D, the greater the ability of the panel 16 to absorb pressure, the better the grip, and the greater the impact on the appearance.

The depth D of the panel 16 is determined by the capacity of the container 10. The smaller the volume of the container 10, the smaller the amount of change in pressure within the container 10 due to temperature changes, and the smaller the required depth D of the panel 16. Conventional panels (i.e., rectangular-like depressions in the container body) typically have a depth of greater than 4mm, have a greater impact on product appearance, and the like.

Optionally, there are more than two panels 16.

In this manner, less deformation of the individual panels 16 may be facilitated, which may help to better maintain product appearance.

More panels 16 may have a greater ability to absorb pressure changes within the container 10, such that a greater number of panels 16 require a lesser depth D to better maintain product appearance for a given container 10 capacity.

Optionally, there are 6 or 8 panels 16.

The inventors found through experiments that the effect of maintaining the appearance of the product is better when the number of the panels 16 is 6 or 8.

Optionally, the remaining portion 36 includes a spacer 40 between two adjacent panels 16.

In this manner, it may be advantageous to inhibit significant deformation of container body 14 by panel 16 through spacing portion 40.

The spacing 40 between the

panels

16 and 16 may enhance the grip while also supporting the label 11 (fig. 7-9), which may help maintain the appearance of the product.

Optionally, the spacer 40 is located between the first edge 22 of one and the third edge 26 of the other of the two adjacent panels 16.

In this manner, deformation of the panel 16 may be facilitated to have a small influence on the appearance of the product, which may help to maintain the appearance of the product.

Alternatively, the panels 16 are evenly spaced from each other on the body portion 18 by the spacing portion 40.

In this manner, deformation may be facilitated to occur uniformly throughout the container 10, which may help maintain product appearance.

After holding the object, the container 10 is often subjected to a process of applying, for example, a substantially cylindrical label, i.e., a sleeve label, to the outside to indicate information such as a product name and a use, to make the product beautiful in appearance, and the like.

Fig. 7 is a schematic front view of the container in fig. 1 at normal temperature after being filled and labeled at normal temperature. Fig. 8 is a schematic front view of the container shown in fig. 1, which is filled at normal temperature and labeled with a label, and then is at high temperature. Fig. 9 is a schematic front view of the container in fig. 1, which is filled at normal temperature and labeled at low temperature. Optionally, the container 10 is used to hold a liquid.

Referring to fig. 7 to 9, after the container 10 contains liquid at normal temperature, when the container is refrigerated at low temperature, the volume of the liquid is reduced, negative pressure is generated in the bottle, and the panel 16 can deform inwards, absorb the negative pressure and separate from the label 11 on the outer side of the container 10, so that the product is ensured not to be deformed by internal absorption; when stored at high temperatures, the liquid and its air at the top expand to create a positive pressure, and the panel 16 may expand outward, absorbing the positive pressure, preventing the container bottom 30 from expanding and bulging. The liquid may be any possible liquid as long as it is suitable for use in the present invention.

Optionally, the liquid is a beverage.

The beverage may be any beverage commonly available in the market such as water, tea, etc., as long as it is suitable for the present invention.

Optionally, the container 10 is a bottle.

The container 10 may be a bottle having any configuration as long as it is suitable for use in the present invention.

Alternatively, the container 10 is made of polyethylene terephthalate or a composite plastic containing polyethylene terephthalate.

This can facilitate easy processing, low cost, etc. of the container 10.

For example, the container 10 may be formed by conventional blow molding processes of polyethylene terephthalate. For example, the container 10 may be blow molded from polyethylene terephthalate or a composite plastic containing polyethylene terephthalate using a mold corresponding to the configuration of the container 10 using a one-step process or a two-step process commonly used in the art.

The various embodiments described above and shown in the drawings are illustrative of the invention and are not exhaustive of the invention. Any modification of the present invention by a person of ordinary skill in the related art within the scope of the basic technical idea of the present invention is within the scope of the present invention.
