Abstract: A container (110) having an inverted active cage generally includes an enclosed base portion (120), a body portion (130) extending upwardly from the base portion, and a top portion (140) with a finish (150) extending upwardly from the body portion. The body portion further includes a central longitudinal axis (L), a periphery, a plurality of active surfaces (160), and a network of pillars (170). Unlike the prior art, each of the plurality of active surfaces is outwardly displaced with respect to the longitudinal axis, while each of the network of pillars is inwardly displaced with respect to the longitudinal axis. The plurality of active surfaces, together with the network of pillars, are spaced about the periphery of the container in order to accommodate vacuum-induced volumetric shrinkage of the container resulting from a hot-filling, capping and cooling thereof.

Abstract: A hot fill plastic container (10) has a dome portion (24) with a convex outer surface that defines a maximum outer diameter (D2) of the container so as to extend outwardly beyond a main body portion (18) of the container. The dome portion has a first curved portion (26) having a first curvature and a second curved portion (32) having a second curvature. The generally egg-shaped dome portion enhances the crush resistance of the dome and provides a point of contact between containers when they are placed adjacent to one another. A circumferential stiffening groove (48) may be provided near a lower end of the dome portion.

Abstract: A system combining a machine for blow-molding articles with a universal in-mold labeling apparatus. The apparatus has a frame on which turntables are mounted. Each turntable has an air rotary union, facilitating rotation of the respective turntable, and suction cups adapted to pick, hold, and release labels. The turntables deliver labels to the open molds of the machine. The apparatus also has a vertical slide positioned between the turntables. A placement head engages the turntables and moves up the vertical slide to a position in the open molds. At least one label magazine is affixed to the frame and retains the labels. Strategically placed air valves provide air and vacuum to pick, hold, and release labels. A human machine interface facilitates communication between an operator of the system and the system. Finally, a control system is provided to allow the operator to program and control both the machine and apparatus.
