Abstract
A plastic bottle comprises a label panel portion comprising a plurality of ribs extending annularly about the perimeter thereof and lands located between each rib for accepting a label thereon, wherein the ribs are configured to render the label panel substantially rigid and capable of enduring pasteurization without subjecting the lands to substantial alteration or misalignment. A pasteurizable bottle having a label panel onto which a label may be evenly secured is thus provided.
Claims20
A plastic bottle configured to substantially resist deformation comprising a cylindrical wall defining a longitudinal axis having a plurality of annular ribs extending about the perimeter thereof, wherein the annular ribs each comprise a pair of opposing outer radii, a pair of substantially straight wall portions, one extending from each outer radii to a position inward of the bottle cylindrical wall, each annular rib further comprising a width and a depth and the ratio of the depth to width of each annular rib is approximately between 1.0:1.0 and 1.1:1.0.
A plastic bottle configured to substantially resist deformation from pasteurization, the bottle comprising a cylindrical wall defining a longitudinal axis and having a plurality of ribs extending annularly about the longitudinal axis, each rib defining a width and a depth, the ratio of the depth to width of each annular rib being approximately between 1.0:1.0 and 1.1:1.0, and each of the plurality of ribs being separated from an adjacent one of the plurality of ribs by a land defining a land width, the ratio of the land width to rib width being between 1.09:1.0 and 1.3:1.0.
A plastic bottle configured to substantially resist deformation from pasteurization, comprising a cylindrical wall defining a longitudinal axis and having a plurality of annular ribs, each adjacent pair of annular ribs being separated by a land,
- each annular rib comprising an outer radius extending from each adjacent land, a substantially straight wall extending from each outer radius and directed substantially inward of the outer cylindrical wall, an inner radius extending from each substantially straight wall, and a root wall extending between the inner radii,
- each annular rib defining a width, and a depth, the ratio of the depth to width of each annular rib being approximately between 1.0:1.0 and 1.1:1.0, and
- each land defining a land width, the ratio of the land width to rib width being between 1.09:1.0 and 1.3:1.0.
