A plastic container having a base portion adapted for vacuum pressure absorption. The base portion including a contact ring upon which the container is supported, an upstanding wall and a central portion. The upstanding wall being adjacent to and generally circumscribing the contact ring. The central portion being defined in at least part by a central pushup and an inversion ring which generally circumscribes the central pushup. The central pushup and the inversion ring being moveable to accommodate vacuum forces generated within the container.

1. A plastic container having a base portion adapted for vacuum absorption, said container comprising:an upper portion having a mouth defining an opening into said container, an elongated neck extending from said upper portion, a body portion extending from said elongated neck to a base, said base closing off an end of said container; said upper portion, said elongated neck, said body portion and said base cooperating to define a receptacle chamber within said container into which product can be filled; said base including a chime extending from said body portion to a contact ring which defines a surface upon which said container is supported, said base further including a central portion defined in at least part by a pushup located on a longitudinal axis of said container and an inversion ring circumscribing said pushup, said inversion ring defining an inwardly domed shaped portion when said container is filled and sealed, said inwardly domed shaped portion defined by a surface which is sloped toward said longitudinal axis of said container at an angle of about 15° relative to a support surface, said pushup and said inversion ring being moveable to accommodate vacuum forces generated within said container. 2. The container of claim 1 wherein said body portion includes a substantially smooth sidewall.3. The container of claim 1 wherein said pushup is generally truncated cone shaped in cross section.4. The container of claim 1 wherein said inversion ring has a wall thickness between about 0.008 inches (0.203 mm) to about 0.025 inches (0.635 mm).5. The container of claim 3 wherein said pushup has a top surface which is generally parallel to said support surface when said container is formed, and after said container is filled and sealed.6. The container of claim 3 wherein said pushup has a diameter which is equal to at most 30% of an overall diameter of said base.7. The container of claim 1 wherein a ratio between a force exerted on said base compared to a force exerted on said body portion is less than 10.8. The container of claim 1 wherein said body portion has a wall thickness and said base has a wall thickness, said body portion wall thickness being at least 15% greater than said base wall thickness.9. The container of claim 1 wherein said inversion ring has a first portion and a second portion, wherein a first distance between said first portion and said support surface is greater than a second distance between said second portion and said support surface.10. A plastic container having a base portion adapted for vacuum absorption, said container comprising:an upper portion having a mouth, and a body portion extending from said upper portion to a base, said base closing off a bottom of said container; said upper portion, said body portion and said base cooperating to define a chamber into which product can be filled; said base including a contact ring upon which said container is supported, an upstanding wall and a central portion; said upstanding wall being adjacent to and generally circumscribing said contact ring; said central portion being defined in at least part by a pushup located on a longitudinal axis of said container and an inversion ring extending from said upstanding wall and circumscribing said pushup, said inversion ring defining an inwardly domed shaped portion when said container is filled and sealed, said inwardly domed shaped portion defined by a surface which is sloped toward said longitudinal axis of said container at an angle of about 15° relative to a support surface, said pushup and said inversion ring being moveable to accommodate vacuum forces generated within said container. 11. The container of claim 10 wherein said upstanding wall is generally parallel with said longitudinal axis of said container.12. The container of claim 10 wherein said upstanding wall is immediately adjacent to said contact ring.13. The container of claim 10 wherein said upstanding wall transitions from said contact ring at a substantially sharp corner.14. The container of claim 10 wherein said upstanding wall has a height of at least 0.030 inches (0.762 mm).15. The container of claim 10 wherein said upstanding wall has a height of about 0.180 inches (4.572 mm).16. The container of claim 10 wherein said body portion includes a substantially smooth sidewall.17. The container of claim 10 wherein said inversion ring has a wall thickness between about 0.008 inches (0.203 mm) to about 0.025 inches (0.635 mm).18. The container of claim 10 wherein a ratio between a force exerted on said base compared to a force exerted on said body portion is less than 10.19. The container of claim 10 wherein said body portion has a wall thickness and said base has a wall thickness, said body portion wall thickness being at least 15% greater than said base wall thickness.20. The container of claim 10 wherein said inversion ring has a first portion and a second portion, wherein a first distance between said first portion and said support surface is greater than a second distance between said second portion and said support surface.21. A container adapted for accommodating vacuum absorption, said container comprising:an upper portion having a mouth defining an opening; a substantially smooth sidewall cooperating with said upper portion; and a base portion cooperating with said sidewall, said base portion having a central pushup and an inversion ring circumscribing said central pushup, said inversion ring defining an inwardly domed shaped portion when said container is filled and sealed, said inwardly domed shaped portion defined by a surface which is sloped toward a longitudinal axis of said container at an angle of about 15° relative to a support surface, said central pushup and said inversion ring being upwardly moveable along said longitudinal axis, said movement being in response to changes in pressure in said container. 22. The container of claim 21 wherein said inversion ring has a wall thickness between about 0.008 inches (0.203 mm) to about 0.025 inches (0.635 mm).23. The container of claim 21 wherein said central pushup has a diameter which is equal to at most 30% of an overall diameter of said base.24. The container of claim 21 wherein said inversion ring has a first portion and a second portion, wherein a first distance between said first portion and said support surface is greater than a second distance between said second portion and said support surface.25. The container of claim 21 wherein a ratio between a force exerted on said base portion compared to a force exerted on said sidewall is less than 10.26. The container of claim 21 wherein said sidewall has a wall thickness and said base portion has a wall thickness, said sidewall wall thickness being at least 15% greater than said base portion wall thickness.27.
