Description

本発明は、容器底部の周縁側に脚部が形成された上げ底状の底部形状を有する合成樹脂製容器に関する。   The present invention relates to a synthetic resin container having a raised bottom-like bottom shape in which legs are formed on the peripheral side of the container bottom.

従来、ポリエチレンテレフタレートなどの熱可塑性樹脂を用いて有底筒状のプリフォームを形成し、次いで、このプリフォームを二軸延伸ブロー成形などによってボトル状に成形してなる合成樹脂製の容器が、各種飲料品等を内容物とする容器として広い分野で一般的に利用されている。   Conventionally, a synthetic resin container formed by forming a bottomed cylindrical preform using a thermoplastic resin such as polyethylene terephthalate, and then molding the preform into a bottle shape by biaxial stretch blow molding or the like, It is generally used in a wide field as a container containing various beverages.

また、この種の合成樹脂製容器にあっては、その軽量化や、使用樹脂量の削減による低コスト化のために、従前より、可能な限り容器を薄肉に成形する試みがなされている。
例えば、特許文献1は、ブロー成形型の底型を昇降可能として、底型を下降させた状態でプリフォームを延伸させて、次いで、底型を上昇させて延伸させたプリフォームの底部側を押し上げた後に、さらに、ブローエアーを供給して、延伸したプリフォームをブロー成形型の成形面に密着させてボトル状に成形する方法を開示する。そして、このような方法によれば、容器底部を薄肉化できるとされている。
In addition, in this type of synthetic resin container, attempts have been made to make the container as thin as possible for the purpose of reducing the weight and reducing the cost by reducing the amount of resin used.
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses that a bottom mold of a blow mold can be moved up and down, the preform is stretched in a state where the bottom mold is lowered, and then the bottom side of the preform which is stretched by raising the bottom mold. Disclosed is a method in which blown air is further supplied after being pushed up so that the stretched preform is brought into close contact with the molding surface of the blow mold and molded into a bottle shape. And according to such a method, it is supposed that a container bottom part can be thinned.

ところで、特許文献1で成形される合成樹脂製容器は、容器底部の周縁側に脚部が形成された上げ底状の底部形状を有している。
本発明者らの検討によれば、このような底部形状を有する合成樹脂製容器をブロー成形によって成形しようとすると、脚部の外周面に、一般にヒケと称される痕跡が生じ易いという知見を得ているが、このようなヒケが生じてしまうと、容器の外観が損なわれるだけでなく、容器の強度が低下する原因にもなるため改善が求められる。
By the way, the synthetic resin container molded in Patent Document 1 has a raised bottom-like bottom shape in which legs are formed on the peripheral side of the container bottom.
According to the study by the present inventors, when a synthetic resin container having such a bottom shape is to be molded by blow molding, the knowledge that marks generally referred to as sink marks are likely to occur on the outer peripheral surface of the leg portion. However, if such a sink mark occurs, not only the appearance of the container is impaired, but also the strength of the container is lowered, so that improvement is required.

そこで、本発明者らは、上記底部形状を有する合成樹脂製容器をブロー成形するに際し、底部に形成された脚部の外周面にヒケが生じてしまう原因を究明すべく鋭意検討を重ねたところ、本発明を完成するに至った。   Therefore, the present inventors have conducted intensive studies to investigate the cause of sink marks on the outer peripheral surface of the legs formed on the bottom when blow-molding the synthetic resin container having the bottom shape described above. The present invention has been completed.

すなわち、本発明は、周方向に沿って延在する脚底部と、当該脚底部の外周縁と容器胴部の下端縁に連接する外周壁部と、当該脚底部の内周縁から立ち上る内周壁部とを備える脚部が、周縁側に形成された上げ底状の底部形状を有する合成樹脂製容器をブロー成形によって成形するにあたり、脚部の外周壁部におけるヒケの発生が抑制された合成樹脂製容器の提供を目的とする。   That is, the present invention includes a leg bottom portion extending along a circumferential direction, an outer peripheral wall portion connected to an outer peripheral edge of the leg bottom portion and a lower end edge of the container body portion, and an inner peripheral wall portion rising from the inner peripheral edge of the leg bottom portion. When a synthetic resin container having a raised bottom-like bottom shape formed on the peripheral side is formed by blow molding, a synthetic resin container in which the occurrence of sink marks on the outer peripheral wall portion of the leg portion is suppressed. The purpose is to provide.

本発明に係る合成樹脂製容器は、口部、肩部、胴部、及び底部を備える合成樹脂製容器であって、前記底部が、底板部を備えるとともに、前記底板部の周囲に、周方向に沿って延在する脚底部と、前記脚底部の外周縁と前記胴部の下端縁に連接する外周壁部と、前記脚底部の内周縁から立ち上る内周壁部とを備える脚部が形成された上げ底状とされ、前記外周壁部に、少なくとも一つの凹溝を周方向に沿って連続的に又は断続的に形成した構成としてある。   The synthetic resin container according to the present invention is a synthetic resin container provided with a mouth portion, a shoulder portion, a trunk portion, and a bottom portion, and the bottom portion includes a bottom plate portion, and a circumferential direction around the bottom plate portion. A leg bottom portion extending along the outer periphery, an outer peripheral wall portion connected to an outer peripheral edge of the leg bottom portion and a lower end edge of the trunk portion, and an inner peripheral wall portion rising from the inner peripheral edge of the leg bottom portion is formed. It is a raised bottom shape, and at least one concave groove is formed continuously or intermittently along the circumferential direction in the outer peripheral wall portion.

本発明によれば、容器底部の周縁側に脚部が形成された上げ底状の底部形状を有する合成樹脂製容器をブロー成形によって成形するにあたり、底部に形成された脚部の外周壁部に、少なくとも一つの凹溝を周方向に沿って連続的に又は断続的に形成することで、当該外周壁部におけるヒケの発生を抑制することができる。   According to the present invention, when molding a synthetic resin container having a raised bottom-like bottom shape in which legs are formed on the peripheral side of the container bottom by blow molding, on the outer peripheral wall of the legs formed on the bottom, By forming at least one concave groove continuously or intermittently along the circumferential direction, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of sink marks in the outer peripheral wall portion.

以下、本発明の好ましい実施形態について、図面を参照しつつ説明する。   Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

本実施形態において、容器1は、例えば、熱可塑性樹脂を使用して射出成形や圧縮成形などにより有底筒状のプリフォームを成形し、このプリフォームを二軸延伸ブロー成形により、図1に示すような、口部2、肩部3、胴部4、及び底部5を備えた所定の容器形状に成形することによって製造される。   In the present embodiment, the container 1 is formed by molding a bottomed cylindrical preform by injection molding or compression molding using, for example, a thermoplastic resin, and the preform is formed by biaxial stretch blow molding in FIG. As shown, it is manufactured by molding into a predetermined container shape having a mouth part 2, a shoulder part 3, a body part 4, and a bottom part 5.

このような容器1を製造するにあたり、使用する熱可塑性樹脂としては、上記のようにして容器1を成形することが可能な任意の樹脂を使用することができる。具体的には、ポリエチレンテレフタレート,ポリブチレンテレフタレート,ポリエチレンナフタレート,ポリカーボネート,ポリアリレート,ポリ乳酸又はこれらの共重合体などの熱可塑性ポリエステル,これらの樹脂あるいは他の樹脂とブレンドされたものなどが好適である。特に、ポリエチレンテレフタレートなどのエチレンテレフタレート系熱可塑性ポリエステルが、好適に使用される。また、アクリロニトリル樹脂,ポリプロピレン,プロピレン−エチレン共重合体,ポリエチレンなども使用することができる。   In manufacturing such a container 1, as a thermoplastic resin to be used, any resin capable of forming the container 1 as described above can be used. Specifically, thermoplastic polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polycarbonate, polyarylate, polylactic acid or copolymers thereof, those blended with these resins or other resins are suitable. It is. In particular, an ethylene terephthalate thermoplastic polyester such as polyethylene terephthalate is preferably used. Further, acrylonitrile resin, polypropylene, propylene-ethylene copolymer, polyethylene and the like can be used.

口部2は、図示しない蓋体を取り付けるためのねじ部21が形成された円筒状の部位である。かかる口部2は、この種の容器に一般に形成されるサポートリング22の直下でほぼ同一径となっている部分を含み、胴部4に向かって拡径する円錐台状に形成された肩部3に連接している。
なお、図3は、図1のA−A断面における切断面を示すが、口部2のサポートリング22よりも下方の部位の肉厚を省略している。
The mouth portion 2 is a cylindrical portion in which a screw portion 21 for attaching a lid (not shown) is formed. The mouth portion 2 includes a portion having a substantially same diameter immediately below a support ring 22 generally formed in this type of container, and a shoulder portion formed in a truncated cone shape whose diameter increases toward the body portion 4. 3 is connected.
FIG. 3 shows a cut surface in the AA cross section of FIG. 1, but the thickness of the portion below the support ring 22 of the mouth 2 is omitted.

本実施形態において、容器1は、加熱滅菌された内容物を高温のまま充填、密封する、いわゆるホットパックに供される。このため、胴部4の周面には、ホットパック後に常温に冷却されて容器内が減圧状態になると、容器内方に変形して容器1の容積を減じて内圧の減少分を吸収する六面の減圧吸収パネル6が、周方向に沿って所定の間隔で配設されている。   In the present embodiment, the container 1 is provided in a so-called hot pack that fills and seals the heat-sterilized contents at a high temperature. For this reason, when the inside of the container is cooled to room temperature after hot pack and the inside of the container is in a reduced pressure state, the body 4 is deformed inwardly to reduce the volume of the container 1 and absorb the decrease in internal pressure. The reduced-pressure absorption panels 6 on the surface are arranged at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction.

また、内容物をホットパックする際には、内容物の重さと熱、さらには充填に伴う圧力(充填微圧)によって容器内が陽圧となり、容器を外側に膨らむように変形させようとする負荷が作用する。減圧吸収パネル6は、このときに容器外方に膨らんだ後、常温に冷却されて容器内が減圧状態になったときにスムーズに反転するようにして、容器内方への変形が妨げられないようになっていれば、その具体的なパネル形状は特に限定されない。このため、図1に示す例では、胴部4の周面に配設する減圧吸収パネル6の具体的なパネル形状の図示を省略している。   In addition, when hot-packing the contents, the inside of the container becomes a positive pressure due to the weight and heat of the contents, and also the pressure accompanying filling (filling fine pressure), and the container tends to be deformed to expand outward. Load acts. At this time, after the vacuum absorbing panel 6 swells to the outside of the container, it is cooled to room temperature and smoothly reversed when the inside of the container is in a depressurized state, so that deformation to the inside of the container is not hindered. If so, the specific panel shape is not particularly limited. For this reason, in the example shown in FIG. 1, illustration of the concrete panel shape of the decompression absorption panel 6 arrange | positioned on the surrounding surface of the trunk | drum 4 is abbreviate | omitted.

また、胴部4は、容器1の高さ方向の大半を占める部位であり、減圧吸収パネル6が配設された部位の高さ方向に直交する横断面形状が六角形状とされるとともに、肩部3に連接する上端側が上側円筒部41とされ、底部5に連接する下端側が下側円筒部42とされている。これにより、本実施形態の容器1は、その横断面形状が全体的に丸みを帯びた、いわゆる丸形ボトル状の容器形状とされている。   Moreover, the trunk | drum 4 is a site | part which occupies most of the height direction of the container 1, and while the cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the height direction of the site | part in which the reduced pressure absorption panel 6 was arrange | positioned is hexagonal shape, shoulder The upper end side connected to the portion 3 is an upper cylindrical portion 41, and the lower end side connected to the bottom portion 5 is a lower cylindrical portion 42. Thereby, the container 1 of the present embodiment has a so-called round bottle-like container shape in which the cross-sectional shape is rounded as a whole.

なお、本実施形態にあっては、胴部4の上側円筒部41と下型円筒部42のそれぞれに、周方向に沿って円環状に延在する横ビード43を設けることによって、横方向(高さ方向に直交する方向)の耐荷重強度を高めているが、これらの横ビード43は適宜省略することができる。   In the present embodiment, each of the upper cylindrical portion 41 and the lower mold cylindrical portion 42 of the body portion 4 is provided with a lateral bead 43 that extends in an annular shape along the circumferential direction, whereby the lateral direction ( Although the load bearing strength in the direction perpendicular to the height direction is increased, these lateral beads 43 can be omitted as appropriate.

ここで、高さ方向とは、口部2を上にして容器1を水平面に正立させたときに、水平面に直交する方向をいうものとし、この状態で容器1の上下左右及び縦横の方向を規定するものとする。
Here, the height direction means a direction orthogonal to the horizontal plane when the container 1 is erected on the horizontal plane with the mouth portion 2 up, and in this state, the vertical, horizontal, vertical and horizontal directions of the container 1 are defined. Shall be defined.

本実施形態において、底部5は、図2及び図3に示すように、容器内方に陥入する底板部50を備えるとともに、この底板部50の周囲に脚部51が形成された上げ底状とされている。そして、底板部50の周囲に形成される脚部51は、周方向に沿って所定の幅で環状に延在する脚底部51cと、脚底部51cの外周縁と胴部4の下端縁に連接する外周壁部51bと、脚底部51cの内周縁から立ち上る内周壁部51aとを備えている。   In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the bottom portion 5 includes a bottom plate portion 50 that is recessed inward of the container, and has a raised bottom shape in which legs 51 are formed around the bottom plate portion 50. Has been. And the leg part 51 formed in the circumference | surroundings of the baseplate part 50 is connected with the leg bottom part 51c extended cyclically | annularly by predetermined width along the circumferential direction, the outer periphery of the leg bottom part 51c, and the lower end edge of the trunk | drum 4. And an inner peripheral wall portion 51a rising from the inner peripheral edge of the leg bottom portion 51c.

脚部51は、脚底部51cの幅Wを0.1〜5.0mmとすることで、十分な接地面積を確保することができるが、脚底部51cは、それ自体が接地部として機能してもよく、又は図2に示すように、周方向に一定の間隔で接地部51dを有していてもよい。
また、脚部51の耐荷重強度を確保するために、外周壁部51bの上端(脚部51の最外径部分)と、内周壁部51aの上端との径方向距離Lは、2〜8mmであるのが好ましく、内周壁部51aは、脚底部51cから、高さ方向に対する角度θが1〜10°で立ち上がって、連接部50aを介して底板部50に連接するのが好ましい。
The leg portion 51 can secure a sufficient ground contact area by setting the width W of the leg bottom portion 51c to 0.1 to 5.0 mm. However, the leg bottom portion 51c itself functions as a grounding portion. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 2, the ground portions 51d may be provided at regular intervals in the circumferential direction.
Further, in order to ensure the load bearing strength of the leg portion 51, the upper end of the outer peripheral wall portion 51b (the outermost diameter portion of the leg portion 51), the radial distance L 3 between the upper end of the inner circumferential wall 51a is 2 The inner peripheral wall portion 51a preferably rises from the leg bottom portion 51c at an angle θ of 1 to 10 ° and is connected to the bottom plate portion 50 via the connecting portion 50a.

このような底部形状を有する容器1は、例えば、図5に示すようなブロー成形型を用いて成形することができる。
図5に示すブロー成形型100は、第一ブロー成形位置と第二ブロー成形位置との間を昇降可能とされた底型101を有している。
このようなブロー成形型100を用いて容器1を成形するには、まず、図5(a)に示すように、底型101を第一ブロー成形位置に下降させた状態で、ブロー成形型100を型閉じするとともに、加熱、軟化させてブロー成形が可能な状態とされたプリフォームPをセットする。次いで、図中二点鎖線で示すように、延伸ロッド102を下動させるとともに、図示しないブローエアー供給源からプリフォームPの内部にブローエアーを吹き込んで第一ブロー成形を行う。
The container 1 having such a bottom shape can be molded using, for example, a blow molding die as shown in FIG.
A blow mold 100 shown in FIG. 5 has a bottom mold 101 that can be moved up and down between a first blow molding position and a second blow molding position.
In order to mold the container 1 using such a blow mold 100, first, as shown in FIG. 5A, the blow mold 100 with the bottom mold 101 lowered to the first blow molding position. The preform P is set in a state in which blow molding is possible by closing the mold and heating and softening. Next, as shown by a two-dot chain line in the figure, the stretching rod 102 is moved downward and blow air is blown into the preform P from a blow air supply source (not shown) to perform first blow molding.

このとき、延伸ロッド102の下動速度やブローエアーの圧力などを適宜調整することで、プリフォームPを均一に延伸することができ、プリフォームPが所定の延伸量まで延伸されると、底型101を第二ブロー成形位置まで上昇させて、延伸されたプリフォームPの底部側を押し上げる。この際、当該底部側が底型101と延伸ロッド102とで挟持されて押し上げられるように、延伸ロッド102を底型101の動きに同期させて上方に移動させる。そして、必要に応じてブローエアーの圧力を高めるなどして第二ブロー成形を行い、延伸されたプリフォームPをブロー成形型100の成形面に密着させて、その形状を賦形する(図5(b)参照)。これにより、底部5も十分に延伸されて薄肉化された容器1を成形することができる。   At this time, the preform P can be uniformly stretched by appropriately adjusting the lowering speed of the stretching rod 102, the pressure of the blow air, etc. When the preform P is stretched to a predetermined stretching amount, The mold 101 is raised to the second blow molding position, and the bottom side of the stretched preform P is pushed up. At this time, the stretching rod 102 is moved upward in synchronization with the movement of the bottom mold 101 so that the bottom side is sandwiched between the bottom mold 101 and the stretching rod 102 and pushed up. Then, if necessary, second blow molding is performed by increasing the pressure of blow air, and the stretched preform P is brought into close contact with the molding surface of the blow mold 100 to shape the shape (FIG. 5). (See (b)). Thereby, the container 1 in which the bottom 5 is also sufficiently stretched and thinned can be formed.

その後、延伸ロッド102に設けた図示しない噴出孔から冷却用のクーリングエアーCAを噴出させて、冷却処理などの後処理を経てから成形された容器1を取り出すが、このようにして成形された容器1にあっては、その底部5に形成された脚部51の外周壁部51bに、一般にヒケと称される痕跡が生じ易い。このようなヒケが生じてしまうと、容器1の外観が損なわれるだけでなく、容器1の強度が低下する原因にもなる。   Thereafter, cooling air CA for cooling is ejected from an ejection hole (not shown) provided in the stretching rod 102, and the molded container 1 is taken out after a post-treatment such as a cooling process. The container molded in this way 1, traces generally referred to as sink marks are likely to occur on the outer peripheral wall portion 51 b of the leg portion 51 formed on the bottom portion 5. When such sink marks occur, not only the appearance of the container 1 is impaired, but also the strength of the container 1 is reduced.

このようなヒケが生じる原因は種々考えられるが、滑らかな平面又は曲面が比較的広い範囲に存在している部分があると、その部分は成形面に貼り付き易い傾向にあり、成形面に貼り付いた部分には、離型の際に、当該部分を撓むように変形させながら成形面から引き剥がそうとする負荷がかかってしまう。そして、成形面に貼り付いた部分が十分に冷却されないまま、そのような負荷がかかると、その痕跡がヒケとなって残ってしまうと考えられる。   There are various possible causes of such sinking. However, if there is a part where a smooth flat surface or curved surface exists in a relatively wide range, that part tends to stick to the molding surface, and the part tends to stick to the molding surface. At the time of mold release, the attached portion is subjected to a load that is to be peeled off from the molding surface while deforming the portion so as to bend. Then, if such a load is applied while the portion attached to the molding surface is not sufficiently cooled, it is considered that the trace remains as a sink mark.

また、前述したように、延伸ロッド102は、底型101の動きに同期して上方に移動し、容器1の底部5に形成される脚部51から離れた位置にあるため、延伸ロッド102から噴出させたクーリングエアーCAが脚部51まで行き届き難くなっている。さらに、脚部51は、脚底部51cから立ち上る内周壁部51aを備えており、かかる内周壁部51aが、脚部51内にクーリングエアーCAを行き届き難くしてもいる。   Further, as described above, the stretching rod 102 moves upward in synchronization with the movement of the bottom mold 101 and is located away from the leg portion 51 formed on the bottom portion 5 of the container 1. It is difficult for the cooled cooling air CA to reach the legs 51. Furthermore, the leg part 51 is provided with the inner peripheral wall part 51a which stands | starts up from the leg bottom part 51c, and this inner peripheral wall part 51a makes it difficult to reach the cooling air CA in the leg part 51.

これらのことから、本発明者らは、成形面に貼りついた脚部51の外周壁部51bが十分に冷却されないまま、容器1の取り出しが行われることが、脚部51の外周壁部51bにヒケが生じてしまう原因になっていると考えるに至った。
そこで、本実施形態では、ブロー成形に際して、脚部51の外周壁部51bが十分に冷却されないまま容器1の取り出しが行われても、当該外周壁部51bが成形面に貼り付き難くすることでヒケの発生を抑制するという発想に基づいて、次のような構成を採用した。
From these facts, the present inventors are able to take out the container 1 without sufficiently cooling the outer peripheral wall portion 51b of the leg portion 51 attached to the molding surface, so that the outer peripheral wall portion 51b of the leg portion 51 is removed. I came to think that it was a cause of sink marks.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, during blow molding, even when the container 1 is taken out without the outer peripheral wall portion 51b of the leg portion 51 being sufficiently cooled, the outer peripheral wall portion 51b is difficult to stick to the molding surface. Based on the idea of suppressing the occurrence of sink marks, the following configuration was adopted.

すなわち、本実施形態では、容器1の底部5に形成される脚部51の外周壁部51bに、周方向に沿って形成された四つの凹溝52を、高さ方向に沿って並列するように形成している。これにより、外周壁部51bに凹凸を設けて、成形面への貼り付きを有効に回避して、成形された容器1をブロー成形型100から取り出す際に、不要な負荷がかからないようにすることで、外周壁部51bにおけるヒケの発生を抑制することができる。   That is, in the present embodiment, four concave grooves 52 formed along the circumferential direction are arranged in parallel along the height direction on the outer peripheral wall portion 51b of the leg portion 51 formed on the bottom portion 5 of the container 1. Is formed. Thereby, unevenness is provided in the outer peripheral wall portion 51b to effectively avoid sticking to the molding surface so that an unnecessary load is not applied when the molded container 1 is taken out from the blow mold 100. Thus, the occurrence of sink marks on the outer peripheral wall 51b can be suppressed.

このような効果が奏される限り、外周壁部51bには、少なくとも一つの凹溝52が形成されていればよく、外周壁部51bに形成する凹溝52の数は、容器全体のデザインとのバランスを考慮しつつ、適宜設定することができる。さらに、凹溝52は、周方向に沿って連続的に形成してもよく、一定の間隔で又は不定の間隔で断続的に形成してもよい。   As long as such an effect is exhibited, it is sufficient that at least one concave groove 52 is formed in the outer peripheral wall portion 51b, and the number of the concave grooves 52 formed in the outer peripheral wall portion 51b depends on the design of the entire container. Can be set as appropriate while considering the balance. Further, the concave grooves 52 may be formed continuously along the circumferential direction, or may be formed intermittently at regular intervals or at irregular intervals.

本実施形態において、凹溝52は、線状の溝底を有するV溝状に形成されており、かかる凹溝52によって、外周壁部51bが、高さ方向に沿った縦断面形状が容器外方に凸の円弧状とされた、複数の湾曲面53に分割されるように形成するのが好ましい。この場合、上下に隣接する二つの湾曲面53の交線が、凹溝52の溝底となる。   In the present embodiment, the concave groove 52 is formed in a V-groove shape having a linear groove bottom, and the outer circumferential wall portion 51b has a vertical cross-sectional shape along the height direction outside the container. It is preferable to form the curved surface 53 so as to be divided into a plurality of curved surfaces 53. In this case, the line of intersection between the two curved surfaces 53 adjacent in the vertical direction becomes the groove bottom of the groove 52.

図3中鎖線で囲む部分を拡大して図4に示すが、凹溝52の上下に形成される湾曲面53は、高さ方向に沿った縦断面形状が、曲率半径2〜5mmの容器外方に凸の円弧となるように形成するのが好ましい。
上記範囲に満たないと、賦形性に劣ってしまい、湾曲面53を所望の形状に成形し難い傾向がみられる。一方、上記範囲を超えてしまうと、外周壁部51bにおけるヒケの発生を抑制する効果が薄れてしまう傾向がみられる。
4 is an enlarged view of a portion surrounded by a chain line in FIG. 4, but the curved surfaces 53 formed above and below the concave groove 52 have a longitudinal cross-sectional shape along the height direction, and the outside of the container having a curvature radius of 2 to 5 mm. It is preferable to form so as to form a convex arc.
If it is less than the above range, the formability is inferior, and the curved surface 53 tends to be difficult to be formed into a desired shape. On the other hand, if it exceeds the above range, the effect of suppressing the occurrence of sink marks on the outer peripheral wall 51b tends to be reduced.

また、外周壁部51bに形成する少なくとも一つの凹溝52のうち、その最も下方に形成される凹溝52と脚底部51cまでの径方向距離(高さ方向に直交する方向に沿った当該凹溝52と脚底部51cとの離間距離)Lが、1.5〜3.0mmであるのが好ましい。
上記範囲に満たないと、賦形性に劣ってしまい、湾曲面53を所望の形状に成形し難い傾向がみられる。一方、上記範囲を超えてしまうと、外周壁部51bにおけるヒケの発生を抑制する効果が薄れてしまう傾向がみられる。
Further, among at least one concave groove 52 formed in the outer peripheral wall portion 51b, a radial distance between the concave groove 52 formed in the lowermost portion and the leg bottom portion 51c (the concave portion along the direction orthogonal to the height direction). distance) L 0 between the groove 52 and the Ashisoko portion 51c is preferably a 1.5 to 3.0 mm.
If it is less than the above range, the formability is inferior, and the curved surface 53 tends to be difficult to be formed into a desired shape. On the other hand, if it exceeds the above range, the effect of suppressing the occurrence of sink marks on the outer peripheral wall 51b tends to be reduced.

さらに、底板部50と脚部51の内周壁部51aとの連接部50aの高さ(高さ方向に沿った脚底部51cとの離間距離)Hを4〜12mmとするのが好ましい。
上記範囲に満たないと、ブロー成形の際に、底板部50、及び脚部51の内周壁部51aの肉厚が厚くなってしまう傾向がみられる。一方、上記範囲を超えてしまうと、ブロー成形の際に、底板部50、及び脚部51の内周壁部51aの部分の肉厚が薄くなりすぎてしまい、耐久性に劣ってしまう傾向がみられる。
Furthermore, it is preferable that the height H of the connecting portion 50a between the bottom plate portion 50 and the inner peripheral wall portion 51a of the leg portion 51 (a separation distance from the leg bottom portion 51c along the height direction) is 4 to 12 mm.
If it is less than the above range, the thickness of the bottom plate portion 50 and the inner peripheral wall portion 51a of the leg portion 51 tends to increase during blow molding. On the other hand, if it exceeds the above range, the thickness of the bottom plate portion 50 and the inner peripheral wall portion 51a of the leg portion 51 becomes too thin during blow molding, and the durability tends to be inferior. It is done.

なお、本実施形態にあっては、容量500mlの容器1を例にして上記数値範囲を設定しており、容器1の容量に応じて、これらの数値は適宜調整することができる。   In the present embodiment, the numerical value range is set by taking the container 1 having a capacity of 500 ml as an example, and these numerical values can be appropriately adjusted according to the capacity of the container 1.

また、本実施形態の容器1は、ホットパックに供され、内容物をホットパックする際には、内容物の重さと熱、さらには充填に伴う圧力(充填微圧)によって容器内が陽圧となり、容器1を外側に膨らむように変形させようとする負荷が作用するのは前述した通りである。   Moreover, the container 1 of this embodiment is used for a hot pack, and when hot-packing the contents, the inside of the container is positively pressurized by the weight and heat of the contents, and further, the pressure (filling fine pressure) associated with the filling. Thus, as described above, the load acting to deform the container 1 so as to swell outward is applied.

このため、底板部50は、ホットパック後に容器内の圧力が減少したときに、容器内方に変形して、前述した減圧吸収パネル6とともに容器1の容積を減じて内圧の減少分を吸収するように構成するのが好ましい。
ここで、本実施形態では、底板部50の周縁側が、容器内方に立ち上りつつ内周壁部51aに連接し、当該連接部50aの高さ方向に沿った縦断面形状が、容器内方に凸となるように湾曲する形状としている。これにより、当該連接部50aをヒンジとして底板部50が容器内方に変形可能となるようにしている。
なお、底板部50が容器内方に変形することで、十分な減圧吸収機能を発揮することができれば、胴部4に設けた減圧吸収パネル6は、必要に応じて省略することもできる。
For this reason, when the pressure in the container decreases after the hot pack, the bottom plate portion 50 is deformed inward of the container, and reduces the volume of the container 1 together with the above-described reduced pressure absorption panel 6 to absorb the decrease in the internal pressure. It is preferable to configure as described above.
Here, in the present embodiment, the peripheral side of the bottom plate portion 50 is connected to the inner peripheral wall portion 51a while rising toward the inner side of the container, and the vertical cross-sectional shape along the height direction of the connecting portion 50a is inward of the container. The shape is curved so as to be convex. Thereby, the bottom plate part 50 can be deformed inward of the container with the connecting part 50a as a hinge.
In addition, if the bottom plate part 50 is deformed inward of the container and can exhibit a sufficient reduced pressure absorption function, the reduced pressure absorption panel 6 provided on the body part 4 can be omitted as necessary.

底板部50を容器内方に変形させることによって減圧吸収性能を発揮させるにあたり、底板部50の面積が大きいほど、より減圧吸収性能を発揮させることができる。このため、底板部50の中心から外周壁部51bの上端までの径方向距離Lに対する、底板部50の中心から内周壁部51aの上端までの径方向距離Lの比L/Lが、0.70〜0.95となるようにして、底板部50の面積が十分に確保できるようにするのが好ましい。 In exhibiting the reduced pressure absorption performance by deforming the bottom plate portion 50 inward of the container, the larger the area of the bottom plate portion 50, the more the reduced pressure absorption performance can be exhibited. Therefore, the ratio L 2 / L 1 of the radial distance L 2 from the center of the bottom plate portion 50 to the upper end of the inner peripheral wall portion 51a with respect to the radial distance L 1 from the center of the bottom plate portion 50 to the upper end of the outer peripheral wall portion 51b. However, it is preferable that the area of the bottom plate portion 50 is sufficiently ensured so as to be 0.70 to 0.95.
