Abstract (en)
The bottle has a cylindrical body (12) with a square section. It is formed with transverse V section corrugations (14) with initial outwards projecting folds (16) locally on the corrugation bottoms. The folds allow almost complete squashing of the open and empty bottle by an axial compressive force of about 10 daN. The body has a polygonal cross section with rounded tops (18) near which the initial folds are formed. There are four folds angularly displaced from one corrugation to the next one. The circular arc which connects the contour of the folds is connected by the circular arc which defines the rounded tops to the point where this arc is joined to the corresponding side (20) of the body section.
Abstract (fr)
Bouteille en matière plastique, écrasable par compression axiale, comprenant un corps cylindrique à section transversale polygonale, par exemple sensiblement carrée ou rectangulaire à sommets arrondis (18), formé avec des cannelures transversales (14) qui comportent des amorces de pliage (16) situées au voisinage immédiat des sommets arrondis (18) précités. L'invention s'applique notamment aux bouteilles destinées à contenir des boissons telles que de l'eau minérale par exemple. <IMAGE>
