Jar container and method of making same

A single piece double walled container in combination with a symmetrical bottom plug, the combination comprising:

• a single piece double walled container having an inner wall structure with an open top end and a closed bottom end;
• an outer wall structure having a proximal end and a terminal end encircling the inner wall structure forming a gap between the inner wall structure and the outer wall structure, the terminal end of the outer wall structure extending past the closed bottom of the inner wall structure and having a notched channel within the inner surface of the outer wall structure located below the closed bottom of the inner wall structure;
• a shoulder portion linking the inner wall structure with the outer wall structure extending continuously from and about the outer surface of the inner wall structure to the proximal end of the outer wall structure, the shoulder portion being the sole means of linking the inner wall structure and the outer wall structure;
• and
• a symmetrical bottom plug having a portion sized and shaped for insertion into the notched channel within the inner surface of the outer wall structure.

In a double walled injection molded plastic container having a gap between the inner wall and the outer wall, the improvement comprising:

• forming the inner wall and outer wall out of one continuous piece of injection molded plastic;
• extending the outer wall past the bottom of the container;
• forming a notched channel within the inner surface of the outer wall located below the bottom of the container;
• and
• inserting a bottom plug having a portion sized and shaped for a snap fit into the notched channel.

A method of manufacturing a single piece double walled container, the method comprising:

• molding a single piece double walled container using a translucent synthetic plastic by forming a translucent inner wall structure with a closed bottom end and a translucent outer wall structure while forming the outer wall structure with a terminal end extending past the inner wall structure and a notched channel within the inner surface of the outer wall structure, the inner and outer translucent wall structure being left free of any interior obstructions there between enabling contents of the container to be clearly visible through the translucent inner and outer wall structures;
• molding a bottom plug and sizing and shaping the bottom plug to fit within the area enclosed by the outer wall structure and forming a portion that is sized and shaped for insertion into the notched channel;
• and
• inserting the bottom plug into the notched channel, the bottom plug deflecting along the long axis of the bottom plug as the bottom plug is pushed into the area encircled by the outer wall structure and returning to original shape upon seating into the notched channel.

A single piece double walled container of translucent plastic providing unobstructed view of the contents of the container, the container comprising:

• an inner wall structure having an open top end and a closed bottom end;
• an outer wall structure having a proximal end and a terminal end encircling the inner wall structure forming a gap between the inner wall structure and the outer wall structure;
• and
• a shoulder portion linking the inner wall structure with the outer wall structure extending continuously from and about the outer surface of the inner wall structure to the proximal end of the outer wall structure such that the viewing of the contents through the outer wall structure and the inner wall structure of the container is unobstructed.

A labeled double walled jar of translucent plastic, the jar comprising:

• an inner wall structure having an open top end and a closed bottom end;
• an outer wall structure having a proximal end and a terminal end encircling the inner wall structure forming a gap between the inner wall structure and the outer wall structure the terminal end extending past the closed bottom of the inner wall structure and having a notched channel within the inner surface of the outer wall structure located below the closed bottom of the inner wall structure;
• a shoulder portion linking the inner wall structure with the outer wall structure extending continuously from and about the outer surface of the inner wall structure to the proximal end of the outer wall structure;
• a bottom plug sized and shaped to fit within the area encircled by the outer wall structure having a portion sized and shaped for a snap fit into the notched channel within the inner surface of the outer wall structure;
• and
• a label placed in the gap between the inner wall structure and outer wall structure, the label held in place by the inner wall structure, outer wall structure and bottom plug.
