Embodiment Construction

[0027] This section details various embodiments of the invention, examples of which are described herein and illustrated in the accompanying drawings. While the invention will be described in conjunction with various embodiments, it will be understood that they are not intended to limit the invention to these embodiments. On the contrary, the invention is intended to cover alternatives, modifications and equivalents which are within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

[0028] figure 1 A pressurization system 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention is generally illustrated. System 10 includes an upper component (ie, actuator 20) and a lower component (ie, base unit 30). The actuator 20 may include a support / fixation member 40 to support and / or hold a portion of the container 50, and the base unit 30 may include a main heating surface 32 and centering formations 60, which may take the form of centering pins or the like.

Abstract

The present invention provides a system for manufacturing plastic containers, including thin-walled containers, comprising an actuator (20) and a base unit (30). The actuator includes a body portion (70) and a support / secure member (40) configured to support or secure a portion of a container (50). The base unit includes a heated surface and optionally an insert can be added. In one embodiment, the actuator may be configured to apply force or pressure to the container to contact the base unit, the base unit may be configured to receive a base portion (52) of the container, And the heating surface may be configured to transfer energy or heat to a portion of the base portion of the container. The present invention also discloses various embodiments of the method for supplying plastic containers.

Description

[0001] Related application materials [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 151,363, filed February 10, 2009. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a system and method for pressurizing plastic containers. Background technique [0004] As lightweighting initiatives lead to thinner container walls, manufacturers are working to alleviate issues associated with reduced container strength. Thin walled plastic containers are more prone to deforming or "ovalizing" and are not suitable for use in merchandisers because such drop forces may cause the container to break. In addition, thin walled containers may lose their liquid contents more rapidly over time than containers with thicker walls, leading to increased vacuum or deformation of the container's interior. [0005] Thin-walled plastic containers can be used for a variety of purposes, including storing "hot" or "cold" contents. With the "hot fill" process...
