ABSTRACT:
A universal case capable of transporting PET bottles of a base-cup type and a petaloid type includes an outer shell 4, 6 and a plurality of support ribs 32, 34, 36, 38 which are shaped to define a plurality of bottle pockets 25 for receiving the bases of PET bottles. A bottle seating structure 40 associated with each bottle pocket 25 includes a base-cup-bottle alignment structure 42, 44, 48 and a petaloid-bottle alignment structure 54, 56. The two alignment structures 42, 44, 48, 54, 56 are adapted to orient PET bottles respectively of the base cup type and the petaloid type seated in the bottle pocket 25 so that the longitudinal symmetry axis of the bottles extend generally parallel to the pocket centerline. The case also includes a case rest 60 associated with each bottle pocket 25. The case rest 60 has a central-base-surface bottle-to-case load-transmission surface 61 facing the bottle pocket 25 and a case-to-closure load-transmission surface 63 facing outward from the bottom of the case. Contact surfaces of the base-cup-bottle alignment structure and the petaloid-bottle alignment structure are offset from one another so that the central base surface bottle-to-case load-transmission surface 61 of the case rest 60 is positioned to contact a central base surface 108, 130 of bottles 100, 120 of both the base-cup type and the petaloid type when the bottles are seated in the bottle seating structure 40.
