(54) Plastic container and closure therefor


(57) A plastic container (1) can be supplied with a circum­ferential buttress (3) whose top side is outwardly inclined, and whose outer part extends parallel to the side of the container. The buttress (3) is placed in such a manner that it just covers the lower side of the shoulder (4) of the closure (2), which shoulder acts as lifting off edge when the closure is to be removed from the container.
A recess (7) gives access to the shoulder (4) and consquently to the closure (2). Moreover, ribs (5) are pvovided between the buttress (3) and the container (1).
Hereby the buttress (3) serves the purpose of provi­ding permanent protection against unintentional lifting off of the closure and against any side impacts, and at the same time it works as drip edge for any overflow. Add to this that the buttress (3) serves as support for the container which thereby becomes easier to apply and hence requires less material, since the dimensions can be reduced.
