Abstract

Plastic container with a base section, with a main body adjoining the base section in a longitudinal direction of the container forming an inner volume of the plastic container wherein the base section forms a plurality of standing foot areas, wherein a tension band extending in a radial direction is disposed between two adjacent standing foot areas, and the base section has a first curved structure with an injection point such that that the injection point projects in the longitudinal direction of the plastic container towards a mouth of the plastic container and a second curved structure adjoins the first curved structure outwardly in the radial direction, wherein this second curved structure is curved in the direction of the mouth of the plastic container, wherein a radius of curvature of the first curved structure is smaller, at least in sections, than a radius of curvature of the second curved structure.
