Abstract (en)
The stackable plastic bottle (B) defines a major longitudinal axis (A) and comprises a base (1) terminated by a closed bottom end (10), a main body (2), a shoulder part (3) and a neck (4) terminated by an opened mouth (40). The outer face of the bottle comprises a longitudinal recess (6) extending longitudinally from the closed bottom end (10) into at least the main body (2) ; the shape in transverse cross section of said longitudinal recess (6) and the shape in transverse cross section of the opposite portion (5) of the bottle outer face diametrically opposite to the longitudinal recess (6) are complementary, in such a way that the bottle (B) can be stacked in a stable horizontal position onto another lower identical horizontal stackable plastic bottle (B') with the said opposite portion (5) of the lower bottle (B') fitted into the longitudinal recess (6) of the upper bottle (B), and the lower bottle (B') prevents the upper stacked bottle (B) from rotating around its longitudinal axis (A).
