Furthermore, according to the bottle-type container 1 of the present embodiment, the following operational effects can also be achieved.
That is, with respect to the lower inner wall surface 10c of the pair of finger contact recesses 10, the lower inner wall surface 10c extends gradually from the upper side to the lower side toward the back surface region E2 and is made substantially parallel to the upper inner wall surface 10b. Therefore, when the bottle-shaped container 1 is gripped, the side of the little finger can be fitted to the lower inner wall surface 10c. Therefore, the fitting property with the bottle-type container 1 can be improved, and it is easier to grip and can be carried stably.
Moreover, when the bottle-shaped container 1 is tilted so that the mouth portion 2 is directed downward in order to pour out the contents, the lower inner wall surface 10c is caught by the little finger. It is hard to slip inside. Therefore, it is possible to perform a stable dispensing operation, and it is difficult to zero out the contents.

Further, since the fingertip recesses 20 are formed in the pair of finger contact recesses 10, when gripping the bottle-shaped container 1, the tip portions of the five fingertips are respectively fitted into the fingertip recesses 20. Can be caught. Therefore, the bottle-type container 1 can be gripped with a stronger gripping force.
Further, when the bottle-shaped container 1 is gripped, the abdominal portions of the five fingertips with the tip portions hooked in the fingertip recesses 20 can be applied along the curved path 21. Therefore, the fit with the bottle-type container 1 can be further enhanced.

Furthermore, when the contents are poured out, the fingertip on the opposite side of the hand holding the bottle-shaped container 1 can be brought into contact with the annular groove 30, so that the posture of the bottle-shaped container 1 is stabilized. Thus, more stable dispensing work can be performed.
In particular, since the annular groove 30 is formed between the body 4 and the shoulder 3, it is possible to attach a fingertip as close to the mouth 2 as possible, and the mouth 2 is likely to be stable during pouring. . In addition, since the vertical ribs 31 are formed around the bottle axis O in the annular groove portion 30 at intervals, the fingertips are difficult to slip by the vertical ribs 31 when the fingertips are attached. Therefore, a fingertip can be stably attached at the time of extraction. Furthermore, since a stable posture can be maintained by attaching the fingertip between the vertical ribs 31, it is possible to attach the fingertip between the arbitrary vertical ribs 31 according to the angle of the wrist that is easy to hold. Furthermore, since the rigidity of the annular groove 30 is enhanced by the plurality of vertical ribs 31, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the buckling strength of the bottle-type container 1.

  The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  For example, the bottle-type container 1 can be formed by biaxial stretch blow molding of a thermoplastic resin such as PET, but the manufacturing method is not particularly limited. Further, the filling capacity is not limited to a specific amount. For example, a large capacity type such as 2.7 liters or 4 liters, or about 1.8 liters or 1 liter, or a smaller capacity may be used.

  In the above embodiment, the lower inner wall surface 10c is also inclined so as to be substantially parallel to the upper inner wall surface 10b. However, only the upper inner wall surface 10b may be inclined. Furthermore, the fingertip recess 20 and the curved path 21 are not essential, and only the finger contact recess 10 may be formed in the side surface region E1.
