Description

  The present invention relates to a liquid container having a double wall structure such as a stainless bottle.

  Such a double-walled liquid container is generally composed of a container body, a drinking mouth provided at the upper end opening of the container body, and a plug body detachably screwed to the drinking mouth. The container body is composed of an inner cylinder into which a liquid enters and an outer cylinder that accommodates an inner cylinder provided on the outer peripheral side of the inner cylinder via a space.

  The inner cylinder and the outer cylinder are respectively contracted by a predetermined dimension together with the pipe diameters of the upper and lower predetermined upper and lower dimension parts (or the outer peripheral pipe diameter) forming the drinking mouth part and the plug screwing part, respectively. The diameter is reduced and the upper and lower dimension parts of the same contraction pipe part are superposed on each other and then integrated by welding (so-called welding welding), and the upper end of the superposition part (welded part) is smoothly smoothed ( It is designed to have a soft mouthpiece by staking (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).

JP-A-10-272068 JP 2011-206408 A

  As described above, when worship welding is employed at the mouth portion of the container body, high-precision smoothing is essential for realizing a soft mouthfeel at the upper end of the welded portion.

  However, it is difficult to increase the smoothing accuracy of the upper end of the welded portion, and if the processing accuracy is poor, a safety problem arises.

  Further, even if smooth processing with sufficient accuracy is performed, the thickness of the upper edge of the drinking mouth is only as thin as the plate thickness of each of the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, and is considerably thin. In particular, recently, in order to reduce the weight of the container body, the thickness of the both sides tends to be made as thin as possible. Therefore, the thickness of the mouth portion of the drinking mouth becomes thinner.

  For this reason, even if high-precision smoothing is performed, it is not always possible to realize a soft mouthfeel, and somehow a sense of anxiety is given when drinking.

  Also, in order to manufacture inner and outer cylinders from raw pipes, pipe expansion and contraction are required, but there are limitations on the expansion ratio and contraction ratio during pipe processing, and the dimensional relationship and external shape of the inner and outer cylinders are naturally limited. There is a design limitation in.

  Furthermore, in the case of the conventional structure described above, the shape of the shoulder portion of the outer cylinder is realized by spinning using a jig, but in the case of the same processing, it is difficult to realize an edge shape having a sharp angle. Yes, the shoulder is inevitably a rounded surface with a large curvature.

  As a result, when the plug is screwed into the drinking mouth, a large gap is formed between the lower end of the skirt (cover) on the outer periphery of the plug and the shoulder, resulting in poor appearance.

  The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder forming the container body are joined and integrated through a mouthpiece forming member separate from the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder. Thus, an object of the present invention is to provide a liquid container that solves the above-described problems.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is configured with the following problem solving means.

(1) Invention of Claim 1 The liquid container of this invention was formed in the upper end part of the container main body which consists of the inner cylinder into which a liquid is put, the outer cylinder which accommodated this inner cylinder through space, and this container main body. A liquid container comprising a drinking mouth part and a plug provided detachably on the drinking mouth part, wherein the upper ends of the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder are separate from the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder. It is characterized by being integrally joined via a forming member.

  According to such a configuration, the drinking mouth forming member forming the drinking mouth portion is separate from the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, and can be processed freely. Therefore, for example, the shape of the mouth part to put the mouth at the time of drinking can be formed into a rounded shape with a large curvature as desired, and a material different from the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder can be adopted. The degree of freedom in material selection is also increased.

  Therefore, it becomes possible to form a drinking mouth portion having a soft mouthfeel and material.

  For example, the expansion ratio (contraction ratio) of stainless steel is usually about 40%, and the diameter of the mouth could not be reduced from the diameter of the raw pipe (outer diameter). If the mouth part is formed by providing the mouth forming member, it is possible to reduce the mouth diameter as desired without performing the contraction process, and the heat retention effect is improved.

  In addition, for example, the lower end side of the drinking mouth forming member and the upper end side of the outer cylinder can be integrated by abutting at a desired angle and joined by a method such as welding. If they are joined and integrated by butting at substantially right angles, a sharp edge-shaped shoulder without a rounded surface can be easily formed.

  As a result, a gap between the lower end of the skirt portion on the outer periphery of the upper end side plug body portion and the shoulder portion of the container main body can be made as small as possible.

(2) Invention of Claim 2 The liquid container according to the present invention is characterized in that, in the configuration of the invention of Claim 1, the inner cylinder and the drinking mouth forming member are joined on the inner cylinder surface side. .

    If it does in this way, the junction part with an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder can be provided avoiding the part which the mouth of a drinking part touches, and the softness per mouth can be kept reliably.

  Moreover, the smooth process of the said junction part can be made substantially unnecessary.

(3) Invention of Claim 3 In the liquid container of this invention, in the configuration of the invention of claim 1 or 2, the inner cylinder and the mouthpiece forming member are joined at a portion located at the shoulder of the container body. It is characterized by having.

  According to such a configuration, the shape of the portion corresponding to the container main body shoulder can be easily made into a sharp edge shape of substantially right angles without performing special processing.

  For example, the lower end side of the spout forming member and the upper end side of the outer cylinder can be integrated with each other at a desired angle and joined together by a method such as welding. If they are joined and integrated with each other, a sharp edge-shaped shoulder without a rounded surface can be easily formed.

  As a result, the gap between the lower end of the skirt on the outer periphery of the stopper and the shoulder on the container body side (lower end of the drinking mouth forming member and the upper end of the outer cylinder) is as much as possible even when the stopper is fitted to the outlet. The continuity and integrity between the outer periphery of the stopper and the body of the container body can be realized sharply.

  As a result, according to the present invention, the following effects are realized.

  (1) It is possible to provide a user with a liquid container having a good mouthfeel.

  (2) The degree of freedom in external shape design is increased by reducing the dimensional restrictions on the inner and outer cylinders.

  (3) Since the shoulder portion of the container body can have a sharp edge shape, the gap with the outer periphery of the stopper is reduced, and the design can be differentiated.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 to 5 show the configuration of the liquid container according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 6 and 7 show the configurations of the modified example of FIG. 5 (first modified example and second modified example), respectively. Example configuration).

<Configuration of the entire container>
The liquid container shown in FIG. 1 is made of metal (in this embodiment, made of stainless steel) as an example, and is screwed into a container body 1 having a vacuum double wall structure and a drinking mouth 12 of the container body 1. It is comprised with the plug body 6 combined.

  In this embodiment, for example, as shown in an exploded view in FIG. 2, the container body 1 includes an inner cylinder 2 into which a stainless steel liquid is placed, an outer cylinder 3 that houses the inner cylinder 2, Assembling it into a vacuum double-walled bottle structure using four components consisting of a bottom member 4 that closes the bottom of the outer cylinder 3 and a drinking mouth forming member 5 that forms a drinking mouth portion 12 of the container body 1. (Of course, it is possible to adopt a heat insulating structure other than vacuum heat insulating).

  The inner cylinder 2 is formed in a bottle shape by joining a shallow container-shaped bottom portion 22 to the upper barrel portion 21 and a lower end portion of the barrel portion 21 by welding (refer to a circumferential weld H3). The inner cylinder 2 has various vertical sizes and diameters.

  The outer diameter of the barrel 21 portion of the inner cylinder 2 (the dimension D4 in FIG. 2 indicates the maximum outer diameter of the barrel 21 portion of the inner cylinder 2) is the barrel 31 portion of the outer cylinder 3 as will be described later. 2 (dimension D5 in FIG. 2 indicates the inner diameter of the upper end 33 portion of the outer cylinder 3), and a vacuum insulation space having a necessary and sufficient width is secured between the body portions 21 and 31. It is set in the range to get.

  At the upper part of the inner cylinder 2, a constricted part (heat-keep neck part) 23 whose diameter is reduced inward and a mouth part 24 continuous with the upper part of the constricted part 23 are integrally formed. The constricted portion 23 serves as an abutment seat for a packing 66 of the plug body 6 described later, and can reduce the inward diameter (decrease the heat radiation area), thereby improving the heat retaining properties of the contents (liquid). It has a heat keep function.

  A female screw portion 25 for screwing the plug body 6 is formed on the inner peripheral surface side of the mouth portion 24 of the inner cylinder 2.

  On the other hand, the outer cylinder 3 has a simple cylindrical shape as a whole, but a flange-shaped inner bent portion 32 that is bent inward over the entire circumference is formed at the lower end portion of the body portion 31. . The inward bending portion 32 is bent inward by a predetermined width (dimension L). An opening 35 for joining the bottom member 4 having a predetermined diameter (dimension D6) is formed inside the inner end portion 32a of the inner bent portion 32. In the configuration of this embodiment, when the inner cylinder 2 is housed in the outer cylinder 3, the inner cylinder 2 is connected to the outer cylinder 3 with respect to the outer cylinder 3, as will be described later. 31 so that the inner end portion 32a of the inner bent portion 32 has a diameter (dimension D6) outside the barrel portion 21 of the inner cylinder 2. There is no problem even if it is smaller than the diameter D4.

  As will be described later, the outer end portion 41 of the bottom member 4 is joined to the inner end portion 32a of the inner bent portion 32 from the lower surface side. In order to prevent the bottom member 4 from coming into direct contact with the table surface, the inner end 32a of the inner bent portion 32 is stepped up by a predetermined height.

  The upper end portion 33 of the body portion 31 of the outer cylinder 3 is opened upward with substantially the same diameter without being particularly reduced in diameter from the body portion diameter (tube diameter). That is, the opening diameter D5 of the opening 34 of the upper end portion 33 is an opening diameter larger than the maximum outer diameter D4 of the body portion 21 of the inner cylinder 2 described above by a predetermined dimension. Thus, when the inner cylinder 2 is assembled into the outer cylinder 3, the body portion 21 of the inner cylinder 2 can be inserted from the opening 34 side of the body upper end portion 33 of the outer cylinder 3. Yes.

  In the configuration of this embodiment, the body portion 31 portion of the outer cylinder 3 is formed such that the lower half portion 31a portion is slightly smaller in diameter than the upper half portion 31b portion. When the lower half 31a portion of the body 31 is slightly smaller in diameter than the upper half 31b, the liquid container is removed from the hand when the lower half 31a portion of the body 3 is gripped. It becomes difficult to slip off. Further, the appearance shape can be changed in design.

  The bottom member 4 is superposed and joined to the inner end portion 32a of the inner bent portion 32 of the outer cylinder 3 from below. The bottom member 4 has a disk shape with an outer diameter that allows the outer end portion 41 to overlap the lower surface of the stepped portion of the inner end portion 32a of the inner bent portion 32 of the outer cylinder 3 by a predetermined width. doing. In the bottom member 4, after the components shown in FIG. 2 are assembled in the double wall structure as shown in FIG. 1, the exhaust holes 42 for evacuating the spaces V 1 and V 2 between the double walls. And a getter material 44 for adsorbing the gas generated in the vacuum spaces V1 and V2 is attached on the upper surface side.

<Composition of the mouthpiece>
Next, in this embodiment, a drinking mouth is formed between the upper end portion 26 (upper end portion of the mouth portion 24) of the inner cylinder 2 and the upper end portion 33 (upper end portion of the body portion 31) of the outer cylinder 3. The member 5 is interposed. This drinking mouth forming member 5 is located between the upper end portion 26 of the mouth portion 24 of the inner cylinder 2 and the upper end portion 33 of the trunk portion 31 of the outer cylinder 3 as shown in FIGS. As shown in detail in FIG. 5, a cylindrical body is employed in which both upper and lower ends are joined, a vacuum heat insulating space V2 having a predetermined width is formed inside, and a drinking mouth portion 12 having a predetermined curvature is formed. .

  That is, the drinking mouth forming member 5 is an inwardly bent portion 51 whose upper end portion is bent inwardly in a curved shape, while its lower end portion is bent outwardly in an outward horizontal posture. The horizontal portion 52 is used. And this drinking mouth formation member 5 superposes the outer peripheral surface of the front-end | tip part (downward part) of the inner side bending part 51 on the inner peripheral surface (mating surface) of the upper end part 26 of the said inner cylinder 2, and welds it. On the other hand, the tip outer diameter of the outward horizontal portion 52 on the lower side is abutted up and down so as to be the same diameter as the outer diameter of the outer cylinder upper end portion 33 and is joined and integrated by welding.

  That is, in the same configuration, the drinking mouth forming member 5 forming the drinking mouth portion 12 is separate from the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 3, and the shape can be freely processed. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the shape of the upper end portion 12 a of the drinking mouth portion 12 that directly attaches a mouth when drinking can be formed into a rounded shape with a large curvature as desired, and the inner tube 2 and the outer tube 3 Different materials (hollow coating members, etc.) can be used, and the degree of freedom in processing and material selection is increased.

  As a result, it is possible to form a mouthpiece with a soft mouthfeel and material.

<Assembly method of each component>
And each said member (4 members of the inner cylinder 2, the outer cylinder 3, the bottom member 4, and the drinking mouth formation member 5) which comprises the container main body 1 is assembled | attached as follows.

  First, the inner cylinder 2 and the mouthpiece forming member 5 are joined and integrated by welding. In this case, the inner tube 2 and the inner mouth surface of the upper end portion 26 of the inner cylinder 2 are swallowed from the separated state of FIG. In a state in which the outer peripheral surface of the front end portion (portion extending downward) of the inner bending portion 51 of the mouth forming member 5 is superposed, the superposed portion is welded over the entire circumference (the welded portion in FIGS. 1, 3, and 5). H4).

  Next, the inner cylinder 2 in which the drinking mouth forming member 5 is integrated in this way is inserted downward from the bottom 22 side through the opening 34 of the upper end portion 33 of the outer cylinder 3 to form the drinking mouth. The outer peripheral end portion of the outward horizontal portion 52 of the member 5 is placed on the upper end portion 33 of the outer cylinder 3. At this time, the outer diameter of the outer peripheral end portion of the outward horizontal portion 52 and the outer diameter of the outer cylinder upper end portion 33 are concentrically matched with each other so that the outer peripheral end portion of the outer horizontal portion 52 is the upper end of the outer tube 3. The outer peripheral end portion of the outward horizontal portion 52 and the outer cylinder upper end portion 33 are uniformly welded over the entire circumference while being placed on the portion 33 (see the welded portion H5 in FIGS. 1, 3 and 5). )

  Next, the outer peripheral end 41 of the bottom member 4 is applied from the lower side to the inner end 32a portion of the inner bent portion 32 on the lower surface of the body 31 of the outer cylinder 3, and at this time, for example, the outer cylinder 3 is moved up and down. If it stands upside down, the bottom member 4 can be easily placed on the inner end portion 32 a of the inner bending portion 32. Then, the outer peripheral end 41 of the bottom member 4 and the inner end of the inner bent portion 32 of the outer cylinder 3 in a state where the outer peripheral end 41 of the bottom member 4 is overlapped with the inner end 32 a of the inner bent portion 32 of the outer cylinder 3. The part 32a is welded over the entire circumference (see the welded part H6 in FIGS. 1, 3, and 5).

  By carrying out each of the above operations, a double-walled container body 1 (container body before evacuation) in which the inner cylinder 2, the outer cylinder 3, the bottom member 4, and the drinking mouth forming member 5 are integrated is formed. After that, when the vacuum between the double walls is evacuated from the exhaust hole 42 in the vacuum heating chamber and the exhaust hole 42 is sealed with the sealing material 43, the vacuum having the vacuum heat insulating spaces V1 and V2 as shown in FIG. The double-walled container body 1 is completed.

  In manufacturing the container body 1, in the above operation, the bottom member 4 is assembled to the bottom of the outer cylinder 3 (the inner end 32a of the inner bending part 32). After assembling the mouth forming member 5), the bottom member 4 is assembled to the bottom portion of the outer cylinder 3 (inner end portion 32 a of the inner bending portion 32). 4 may be welded to the bottom of the outer cylinder 3 first, and then the outward horizontal portion 52 of the drinking mouth forming member 5 assembled to the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 33 may be welded.

  In the container body 1 manufactured in this manner, unlike the conventional welding, the space between the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 3 (and the mouthpiece forming member 5) is also a vacuum heat insulating space V2. It has a high thermal insulation function. Further, in the container body 1, a drinking mouth is provided on the upper part of the body body 11 of the container body 1 (a body part formed by the body part 21 of the inner cylinder 2 and the body part 31 of the outer cylinder 3) via a shoulder part 13. A portion 12 (portion comprising the mouthpiece forming member 5 and the mouth portion 24 of the inner cylinder 2) is formed, and the stopper body 6 is screwed into the mouthpiece portion 12.

  The plug body 6 used in this embodiment covers a plug body 61 formed of a synthetic resin material, an upper plate 62 assembled on the upper portion of the plug body 61, and an upper portion of the upper plate 62. And an upper cover 64.

  On the outer peripheral surface of the plug body 61, a male screw portion 65 is formed that is screwed into the female screw portion 25 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the mouth portion 24 of the inner cylinder 2. A sealing packing (packing made of silicon rubber or the like) 66 that is in contact with the constricted portion 23 of the inner cylinder 2 described above is attached to the lower outer periphery of the plug body 61.

  An annular skirt portion 63 that covers the outer peripheral surface of the mouthpiece portion 12 of the container body 1 is integrally formed on the outer peripheral portion of the upper plate 62. The skirt 63 serves as a gripping knob when the plug body 6 is rotated.

  And this plug body 6 abuts the packing 66 on the upper surface of the constricted portion 23 by screwing (tightening) the male screw portion 65 into the female screw portion 25 on the container main body 1 side. The inside of the main body 1 (inner cylinder 2) is hermetically kept warm.

  By the way, in the liquid container of this embodiment, as described above, the outer cylinder 3 itself of the container body 1 also serves as an outer case and is exposed to the outside as it is. Therefore, if there is a welding trace on the side surface of the bare container body, the welding trace can be seen from the outside, so that the appearance is poor and the design is not preferable.

  Therefore, in the liquid container of this embodiment, welding marks do not appear on the side surface of the container body 1 by the following configuration.

  That is, in this liquid container 1, since the opening diameter D 5 of the upper end portion 33 of the outer cylinder 3 is larger than the outer diameter D 4 of the body portion 21 of the inner cylinder 2, the inner cylinder 2 is assembled into the outer cylinder 3. In addition, the bottom side of the inner cylinder 2 can be inserted from the opening 34 side of the upper end of the outer cylinder 3. Therefore, since it is not necessary to insert the inner cylinder 2 from the opening 35 side on the lower end side of the outer cylinder 3, the inner diameter D6 of the opening 35 on the lower end side of the outer cylinder 3 is the outer diameter of the body portion 21 of the inner cylinder 2. There is no problem even if it becomes smaller than D4.

  And thereby, in the liquid container of this embodiment, the lower end part of the outer cylinder 3 is bent inward by a predetermined width over the entire circumference, and the bottom member is formed on the inner end part 32a of the inner bent part 32. 4, the outer peripheral end portion 41 is joined, and the joint portion between the outer cylinder 3 and the bottom member 4 does not exist on the side surface portion of the container body 1. Therefore, the side surface of the liquid container 1 can be refreshed in design and the appearance can be improved.

  Of course, the joint portion H6 between the outer cylinder 3 and the bottom member 4 appears on the lower surface side of the container body 1, but the lower surface portion of the container body 1 is not visible from the outside at normal times (in the upright state of the liquid container). The joint portion H6 portion on the lower surface of the container body 1 does not become obstructive.

  In addition, in a liquid container having this type of vacuum double wall structure, the outer diameter of the inner cylinder 2 is within the range in which a vacuum heat insulating space V1 having a required width can be secured between the inner diameter and the outer cylinder 3. It is desirable to increase the capacity as much as possible to increase the capacity.

  Therefore, in the liquid container 1 of this embodiment, the upper end portion 33 of the outer cylinder 3 has an opening diameter D5 that is substantially the same as the inner diameter of the body portion 31 of the outer cylinder 3 without being reduced inwardly at all. .

  Accordingly, the entire upper side of the outer cylinder 3 has substantially the same diameter as that of the body portion 31, and the molding process of the outer cylinder 3 is simplified. As a result, costs are also reduced.

  Further, since the opening diameter D5 of the upper end portion 33 of the outer cylinder 3 is substantially the same as the inner diameter of the barrel 31 of the outer cylinder 3, the outer diameter of the barrel 21 of the inner cylinder 2 inserted into the outer cylinder 3 is increased. The diameter D4 can be made as close as possible to the opening diameter D5 of the outer cylinder upper end portion 33, and the volume of the inner cylinder 2 can be increased accordingly.

  As described above, in the liquid container according to this embodiment, the upper ends 33 of the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 3 are joined together via the drinking mouth forming member 5 that is separate from the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 3. Has been.

  That is, in the same configuration, the drinking mouth forming member 5 forming the drinking mouth portion 12 is separate from the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 3, and the shape can be freely processed. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the shape of the upper end portion 12 a of the drinking mouth portion 12 to which the mouth is to be drunk can be formed in a desired curved surface shape, and is different from the inner tube 2 and the outer tube 3. The degree of freedom in processing and material selection can be increased, for example, by using materials (such as enamel coating members).

  Therefore, it becomes possible to form a drinking mouth portion having a soft mouthfeel and material.

  As a result, in the liquid container according to this embodiment, the vacuum heat insulating space V2 is formed by the mouth portion 24 of the inner cylinder 2 and the mouth portion forming member 5 up to the upper end portion 12a of the mouth portion 12 of the container body 1. Therefore, for example, as in the conventional example, there is an effect that the heat retaining power in the drinking mouth portion 12 is improved as compared with the case where the upper end portions of the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 3 are joined and joined.

  In addition, the expansion ratio (contraction ratio) of the stainless steel is usually about 40%, and the diameter of the mouth portion could not be reduced from the raw pipe diameter (outer diameter). If the drinking mouth part 12 is formed by providing the drinking mouth forming member 5, the diameter of the drinking mouth part 12 can be made quite small as described above, and the heat retention effect can be improved.

  Moreover, since the lower end side horizontal part 52 tip of the drinking mouth forming member 5 and the upper end part 33 of the outer cylinder 3 can be united at a desired angle and welded, for example, as shown in FIG. By joining and integrating the end portions of both joint portions at substantially right angles, a sharp edge-shaped shoulder portion 13 having no rounded surface can be easily formed.

  As a result, the gap S between the lower end of the skirt 63 on the outer periphery of the upper end side plug body 6 and the container main body shoulder 13 can be made as small as possible.

  Moreover, in the liquid container of this embodiment, the upper end 26 of the inner cylinder 2 and the inner bent portion 51 of the drinking mouth forming member 5 are joined on the inner peripheral surface side of the upper end portion 26 of the inner cylinder 2.

  If it does in this way, the junction part with the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 3 can be provided avoiding the part which the opening | mouth of the drinking part 12 contacts, and the softness of mouthfeel can be maintained reliably.

  Moreover, the smooth process of the said junction part can be made substantially unnecessary.

  Further, in the liquid container of this embodiment, in the above configuration, the inner cylinder 2 and the drinking mouth forming member 5 are joined at a portion located on the shoulder portion 13 of the container body 1.

  According to such a configuration, the shape of the portion corresponding to the shoulder portion 13 of the container body 1 can be easily formed into a substantially right-angled sharp edge shape without performing special processing.

  For example, since the tip of the lower end side horizontal portion 52 of the drinking mouth forming member 5 and the upper end portion 33 of the outer cylinder 3 are abutted at a desired angle and can be integrated by welding or the like as described above. For example, if the joint ends are joined together by butting them substantially perpendicular to each other, a sharp edge-shaped shoulder portion 13 having no rounded surface can be easily formed.

  As a result, even when the plug body 6 is fitted to the mouthpiece 12 as described above, the lower end of the skirt 63 on the outer periphery of the stopper body 6 and the shoulder on the container body 1 side (the lower end of the mouthpiece forming member 5 and the outer cylinder 3). The gap between the upper end) and the body 11 of the container body 1 can be sharply realized.

  As a result, the following effects are realized.

  (1) It is possible to provide a user with a liquid container having a good mouthfeel.

  (2) The degree of freedom in external shape design is increased by reducing the dimensional restrictions on the inner and outer cylinders.

  (3) Since the shoulder portion of the container body can have a sharp edge shape, the gap with the outer periphery of the stopper is reduced, and the design can be differentiated.
