Plastic Container

Abstract

A plastic container having a bowl or dish shape, in particular a flower pot, with an upper terminating area in the form of a circumferential channel profile that is open on the underside, adjoining an upper area of the container wall, which is guided outwardly and further downwardly towards a circumferential edge, wherein the channel profile is provided with cross sectional reinforcing connecting pieces, is embodied in a manner such that the connecting pieces are aligned diagonally at least in sections towards the channel profile so that cross sectional deformations and lateral stress can be absorbed elastically and resiliently without breakage.

1 . Plastic container ( 1 ,  21 ) having a bowl or dish shape comprising an upper terminating area ( 4 ) in the form of a circumferential channel profile ( 5 ) that is open on the underside, adjoining an upper area of a container wall ( 3 ), which is guided outwardly and further downwardly towards a circumferential edge ( 11 ), wherein the channel profile is provided with cross sectional reinforcing connecting pieces ( 10 ), and wherein the connecting pieces ( 10 ) are aligned diagonally at least in sections towards the channel profile ( 5 ). 
   
   
       2 . Plastic Container according to  claim 1 , wherein as a whole the connecting pieces are aligned diagonally to the channel profile and are attached with an obtuse angle on the circumferential edge and on the container wall. 
   
   
       3 . Plastic Container according to  claim 2 , wherein the connecting pieces each lie in a flat plane. 
   
   
       4 . Plastic Container according to  claim 1 , wherein the connecting pieces  910 ) have a bent progression between the circumferential edge ( 11 ) and the container wall ( 3 ). 
   
   
       5 . Plastic Container according to  claim 4 , wherein the bent connecting pieces ( 10 ) have an apex ( 12 ) lying approximately in the center between the circumferential edge ( 11 ) and the container wall ( 3 ) 
   
   
       6 . Plastic Container according to  claim 4 , wherein the bent connecting pieces ( 10 ) join diametrically opposed flow lines ( 15 ,  16 ) in an obtuse-angled manner on the circumferential edge ( 11 ) and the container wall ( 3 ) along one another with respect to the channel profile. 
   
   
       7 . Plastic Container according to  claim 4 , wherein the connecting pieces ( 10 ) have diagonally adjoining surface parts ( 13 ,  14 ) with edge-side weakened areas in the wall. 
   
   
       8 . Plastic Container according to  claim 4 , wherein the connecting pieces are bent several times between the circumferential edge and the container wall. 
   
   
       9 . Plastic Container according to  claim 1 , wherein the connecting pieces have a curved shape. 
   
   
       10 . Plastic Container according to  claim 1 , wherein the terminating area is embodied as a supporting edge for a hanging pot ( 21 ) to be held in a hanging manner at several distributed points on the circumference. 
   
   
       11 . Plastic Container according to  claim 5 , wherein the bent connecting pieces ( 10 ) join diametrically opposed flow lines ( 15 ,  16 ) in an obtuse-angled manner on the circumferential edge ( 11 ) and the container wall ( 3 ) along one another with respect to the channel profile. 
   
   
       12 . Plastic Container according to  claim 5 , wherein the connecting pieces ( 10 ) have diagonally adjoining surface parts ( 13 ,  14 ) with edge-side weakened areas in the wall. 
   
   
       13 . Plastic Container according to  claim 6 , wherein the connecting pieces ( 10 ) have diagonally adjoining surface parts ( 13 ,  14 ) with edge-side weakened areas in the wall. 
   
   
       14 . Plastic Container according to  claim 5 , wherein the connecting pieces are bent several times between the circumferential edge and the container wall. 
   
   
       15 . Plastic Container according to  claim 6 , wherein the connecting pieces are bent several times between the circumferential edge and the container wall. 
   
   
       16 . Plastic Container according to  claim 7 , wherein the connecting pieces are bent several times between the circumferential edge and the container wall.
