Plastic container

Abstract

A plastic container including an outer container element ( 10 ) having a geometrical center and an inner container element ( 50 ) mounted within the outer container element, the outer container element and the inner container element, when mounted in the outer container element, together having a center of gravity which is lower than the said geometrical center of the outer container element.

1 . A plastic container comprising:
 an outer container element having a geometrical center; and   an inner container element mounted within said outer container element,   said outer container element and said inner container element, when mounted in said outer container element, together having a center of gravity which is lower than a geometrical center of said outer container element.   
     
     
         2 - 16 . (canceled) 
     
     
         17 . A plastic container according to  claim 1  and wherein said inner container element comprises an inner container element neck portion and an inner container element body. 
     
     
         18 . A plastic container according to  claim 17  and wherein said inner container element body is integrally formed with said inner container element neck portion. 
     
     
         19 . A plastic container according to  claim 1  and wherein said inner container element comprises a moisture absorbent material. 
     
     
         20 . A plastic container comprising:
 an outer container element including a neck portion comprising a flange; and   an inner container element including at least one resilient snap element and being mounted within said outer container element,   said at least one resilient snap element engaging said flange when said inner container element is mounted in said outer container element, thereby ensuring that said inner container element is centered with respect to said outer container element.   
     
     
         21 - 31 . (canceled) 
     
     
         32 . A plastic container according to  claim 20  and wherein said inner container element comprises a moisture absorbent material. 
     
     
         33 . A plastic container comprising:
 an outer container element; and   an inner container element having an inner container element internal volume and an inner container element center of gravity location,   said inner container element internal volume being linearly adjustable by changing a diameter of said inner container element at said inner container element center of gravity location, such that said changing said diameter does not change said inner container element center of gravity location.   
     
     
         34 . A plastic container according to  claim 33  and wherein said inner container element comprises a moisture absorbent material.
