LIQUID CONTAINERS

摘要

The present embodiments provide improved liquid containers having enhanced structural integrity. In one embodiment, the liquid container comprises a cap region (401), an upper panel region (403) disposed beneath the cap region, a non-paneled circular region (404) disposed beneath the upper panel region, a lower panel region (405) disposed beneath the non-paneled circular region (430), and at least one central panel region disposed between the non-paneled circular region and the lower panel region. The upper and lower panel regions each may comprise a plurality of discrete generally flat sides disposed about a circumference of the liquid container. Advantageously, the plurality of discrete generally flat sides about the circumference of the container may provide horizontal and vertical strength by reducing the amount of contiguous flat surface area. Further, various ribbed regions (410, 425, 426) may provide additional structural stability about the circumference of the container.
