Bottle with a ripple panel

Abstract

The present application provides a bottle. The bottle may include a label panel in the form of a ripple panel having a number of undulating waves and a number of troughs therebetween and a ribbed panel having a number of ribs and a number of lands therebetween.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A bottle, comprising:
 a label panel;   the label panel comprising a ripple panel with a plurality of undulating waves and a plurality of troughs therebetween; and   a ribbed panel;   the ribbed panel comprising a plurality of ribs with a plurality of lands therebetween.   
     
     
         2 . The bottle of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of undulating waves comprises a sine wave shape. 
     
     
         3 . The bottle of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of undulating waves comprises a stylized “S” shape. 
     
     
         4 . The bottle of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of undulating waves comprises a convex shape. 
     
     
         5 . The bottle of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of ribs comprises a concave shape. 
     
     
         6 . The bottle of  claim 1 , wherein the ribbed panel comprises a concave shape. 
     
     
         7 . The bottle of  claim 1 , further comprising a waist positioned between the label panel and the ribbed panel. 
     
     
         8 . The bottle of  claim 7 , wherein the waist comprises a ring-like shape. 
     
     
         9 . The bottle of  claim 1 , further comprising a shoulder section adjacent to the label panel. 
     
     
         10 . The bottle of  claim 9 , wherein the shoulder section has indicia formed therein. 
     
     
         11 . The bottle of  claim 10 , wherein the indicia comprises a stylized “S” shape. 
     
     
         12 . The bottle of  claim 10 , further comprising a mouth section adjacent to the shoulder section. 
     
     
         13 . The bottle of  claim 1 , further comprising a base section adjacent to the ribbed panel. 
     
     
         14 . The bottle of  claim 13 , wherein the base section comprises a plurality of feet. 
     
     
         15 . The bottle of  claim 1 , further comprising a polyethylene terephthalate material. 
     
     
         16 . A polyethylene terephthalate bottle, comprising:
 a shoulder section;   a body section;   the body section comprising a label panel and a ribbed panel;   the label panel comprising a ripple panel with a plurality of undulating waves and a plurality of troughs therebetween;   the ribbed panel comprising a plurality of ribs with a plurality of lands therebetween; and   a base section.   
     
     
         17 . The polyethylene terephthalate bottle of  claim 16 , wherein the plurality of undulating waves comprises a sine wave shape. 
     
     
         18 . The polyethylene terephthalate bottle of  claim 16 , wherein the plurality of undulating waves comprises a stylized “S” shape. 
     
     
         19 . The polyethylene terephthalate bottle of  claim 16 , wherein the plurality of undulating waves comprises a convex shape. 
     
     
         20 . The polyethylene terephthalate bottle of  claim 16 , wherein the plurality of ribs comprises a concave shape.
