Abstract (en)

In order to withstand internal pressure a plastics bottle (l) has a base formed with a number (such as seven) of identical, equi-angularly spaced foot portions (3) separated by relatively narrow, effectively parallel-sided grooves (4). The feet project below the central portion (6) which is thickened at (l3) and together with the lower surfaces of the feet forms a smooth re-entrant shape braced by the portions of the wall defining the bottoms of the grooves (l4), each in the form of a smooth curve. The bottle is stable and satisfactory for use on a chain conveyor.
