Abstract
A plastic, hot-fillable container includes a blow molded body defining a longitudinal axis and including a base. The base includes a wall and a panel extending from the wall. The panel includes at least one radial segment such that at least the panel is substantially non-movable under temperature, pressure and/or volume changes within an interior of the body during a hot fill process. Container systems and methods of manufacturing containers are disclosed.

A plastic, hot-fillable container comprising:
- a blow molded body defining a longitudinal axis and including a base,
- the base including a wall and a panel extending from the wall,
- the panel including at least one radial segment such that at least the panel is substantially non-movable under temperature, pressure and/or volume changes within an interior of the body during a hot fill process.
A plastic, hot-fillable container comprising:
- a blow molded body including a side wall connected to a base and defining an interior of the container,
- the base including a wall, a central portion and a panel, the wall being connected to the panel adjacent a standing surface,
- the panel including at least one radial segment being connected to the standing surface and extending toward the central portion, the segments being disposed with the panel such that the panel is substantially non-movable relative to the side wall under temperature, pressure and/or volume changes within the interior during a hot fill process.
A plastic, hot-fillable PET container comprising:
- a blow molded body having a neck and defining a longitudinal axis, the body including a base and a side wall connected to the base defining an interior of the container,
- the base including a wall, a central portion and a panel, the wall being connected to the panel adjacent a standing surface,
- the panel including a plurality of segments being connected to the standing surface and extending radially in a transverse orientation relative to the axis, the segments being disposed with the panel such that the panel is substantially non-movable relative to the side wall under temperature, pressure and/or volume changes within the interior during a hot fill process;
- and
- a metal closure engageable with the neck.
