AI Technical Summary
⚠Technical Problem
Plastic beverage containers are susceptible to deformation and elongation due to thermal contraction and pressure differentials during hot-fill operations, leading to uneven stacking and storage issues.
⚗Method used
The beverage container features a sidewall with continuous channels, including sinusoidal and diagonal patterns, which resist elongation and indentation by providing hoop strength and maintaining the cylindrical shape.
🎯Benefits of technology
The channels effectively prevent deformation, ensuring consistent container height and stability during filling, storage, and transportation, facilitating efficient stacking and reducing material susceptibility to pressure differentials.

Abstract
To provide a beverage container that has a sidewall where a channel is formed which is configured to limit or resist deformation of the beverage container.SOLUTION: A beverage container includes a base part, a cylindrical sidewall that extends from and integrally formed with the base part, and a top region that extends from the sidewall and defines a top opening part. The beverage container includes a longitudinal axis extending in the direction from the base part to the top opening part. The beverage container further includes a continuous channel that is formed around and extends on the outer periphery of the sidewall. The continuous channel is sinusoidal such that the continuous channel forms peaks and valleys. The height of the continuous channel, when measured in the direction of the longitudinal axis from the peak to the valley, is about 30%-80% of the height of the sidewall such that the continuous channel resists elongation of the beverage container in the direction of the longitudinal axis.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
