Bottle of prismatic shape with a base in the form of a sector of a circle for packaging fluid foodstuffs

Abstract

For fluid foodstuffs which, for storage purposes, are to undergo a very-high-pressure treatment in a special apparatus comprising a cylindrical chamber, a prismatic bottle is provided, its cross section being a circular sector, its body having a volume of around e.g. 750 cm 3 or 1000 cm 3 .

1 . A bottle for packaging fluid foodstuffs that are to undergo a veryhigh-pressure treatment in a special apparatus comprising a cylindrical chamber designed to accommodate the filled and sealed bottles together with water or other liquid to fill up the rest of said chamber, which bottle is of prismatic shape, its cross section being in the form of a circular sector.  
     
     
         2 . A bottle according to  claim 1 , having a cross section in the form of a circular sector with an angle of approximately 72° (one fifth of one complete revolution), height of around 17.5 cm and volume of around 750 cm 3 , with slightly rounded edges due to manufacturing constraints, the whole being such as to maximize the use of the volume of the abovementioned cylindrical chamber.  
     
     
         3 . A bottle according to  claim 1 , having a cross section in the form of a circular sector with an angle of 60° (one sixth of one complete revolution), height around 28.5 cm and volume around 1000 cm 3 , with slightly rounded edges due to manufacturing constraints.  
     
     
         4 . A bottle according to  claim 3 , comprising an extra volume for the slope of the joining shoulder between the wall of the body of the bottle and the neck and for the neck, of around 1.5 cm, thereby maximizing the use of the volume of the abovementioned cylindrical chamber.  
     
     
         5 . A bottle for packaging fluid foodstuffs of prismatic shape with a base in the form of a sector of a circle, the whole as described and illustrated and for the objects indicated.
