Abstract:
Disclosed are preforms which incorporate improvements in the region of the neck and upper segment of the body to allow the production of lightweight containers, such as bottles suitable for containing water or other beverages. In accordance with certain embodiments, the improvements include a thinner neck finish area than conventional bottles, where the thinner area is extended into the upper segment of the body portion below the support ring. Reducing the thickness in these areas of the bottle allows for less resin to be used in forming the preform and bottle.

Claim (Index 15):
A preform suitable for being blow-molded to form a container, the preform comprising:\n a neck portion comprising an opening to an interior of the preform; a body portion comprising a tapered portion that smoothly transitions from the neck portion to a cylindrical portion and an end cap, the body portion comprising a wall thickness suitable for being blow-molded into a desired shape and size of the container; a finish disposed on the neck portion and configured to threadably receive a cap; a plurality of internal columns disposed within the opening; one or more exterior columns disposed around the perimeter of the neck portion; and a bevel disposed at a beginning of the opening and configured to receive a sealing flange of the cap.
