[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a synthetic resin bottle. In particular, it relates to the structure of a bottle that is easy to hold.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a panel portion is provided on the surface of a bottle in order to increase the strength of the bottle. The panel portion often has an uneven shape to increase the strength. As a panel having an uneven shape, for example,
There is a bottle container described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-176015.

[0003] However, although there is a conventional example in which a panel portion is provided for the purpose of reinforcing the bottle as described above, there is no conventional example in which consideration is given to ease of holding the bottle.

[0004]

In the prior art, in order to hold the bottle, the body must be grasped. In this case, however, the unevenness of the panel must be grasped by fingers. However, the shape and structure of the uneven portion are not considered so as to be suitable for grasping with a finger. Therefore, there is a problem in that it is uncomfortable to grasp the bottle with a finger, making it difficult to hold the bottle.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has as its object to provide a bottle having a shape that can be easily held so that the bottle can be grasped with a finger without discomfort.

[0006]

The present invention employs the following technical means to solve the above-mentioned problems. A constricted portion 2 is provided around the outer periphery of a substantially central portion of the body 1 of the bottle.

A plurality of shallowly depressed panel parts 3 are provided on the outer periphery of the trunk below the constricted part 2. This panel part 3
Are formed so that at least one pair faces each other. At the upper end of the opposing panel portion 3, a concave portion 4 having a size and a depth to which a fingertip is inserted and hooked is formed, and a horizontally long cylindrical wall portion between the concave portion 4 and the constricted portion 2 is reinforced. The rib function section.

Incidentally, a small emboss, for example, can be provided on the bottom surface of the concave portion 4 so as to increase the friction coefficient. Further, a material having a large coefficient of friction can be attached to the bottom surface of the recess 4.

[0009]

[Action] A finger is inserted into the concave portion 4 of the opposing panel portion 3,
These depressions 4 are grasped with fingers to hold a bottle. At this time, since the horizontally long cylindrical wall portion between the recessed portion 4 and the constricted portion 2 exhibits a reinforcing rib function, the body portion 1 is not dent-deformed and the bottle can be stably held without a sense of incongruity. it can.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the bottle of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, the bottle has a rectangular parallelepiped body 1. A container mouth 5 is provided at the upper end of the body 1.
Are protruding. In addition, on the outer periphery of the substantially central portion of the body 1,
A constriction 2 is provided.

On the side of the trunk above the constriction 2,
Two sets of opposing upper side panel portions 6 are provided on four side surfaces of the rectangular parallelepiped. At the corners of the trunk above the constriction 2, two sets of opposing upper corner panels 9 having flat corners are provided at four corners of the rectangular parallelepiped.

On the side of the trunk below the constriction 2,
Two sets of opposing lower side panels 3 are shallowly depressed on four sides of the rectangular parallelepiped. At the corners of the trunk below the constriction 2, two opposing lower corner panel sections 10 having flat corners are provided at the four corners of the rectangular parallelepiped.

The upper side panel 6 has recesses 7a to 7e which are long in the outer peripheral direction of the body. Here, recesses 7a to 7d
Are provided so as to form a vertically long elliptical shape as a whole. The recess 7e is disposed below the recess 7d.

The upper corner panel portion 9 is formed with a vertically elongated concave portion 7f. The lower corner panel 10 is formed with a vertically elongated recess 7g. The recesses 7a to 7g serve to reinforce the strength of the bottle.

A rib portion 8 having a wavy cross section is formed in the lower side panel portion 3 and serves to reinforce the strength of the bottle. At the upper end in the lower side panel portion 3, a concave portion 4 having a size and a depth into which a fingertip can be inserted and hooked is formed above the rib portion 8, and this concave portion 4 is formed.
The horizontally long cylindrical wall portion between the constricted portion 2 and the constricted portion 2 serves as a reinforcing rib function portion. Here, the concave portion 4 is located near a substantially central portion of the body portion 1. In addition, a small emboss is provided on the bottom surface of the concave portion 4.

In the present embodiment, the bottle constructed as described above is made by blow molding a preform made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described.

A thumb is inserted into one of the recessed portions 4 formed on the opposing panel portion, and an index finger or a middle finger is inserted into the other, and grasped so that a force is applied to the inside of the bottle. You can have a bottle in this state.

At this time, the recess 4 is located above the center of gravity of the bottle in a state where the contents are filled.
Therefore, it is easier to grasp the bottle even if the bottle is inclined, as compared with the case where the recessed portion 4 is located below the center of gravity of the bottle. That is, the bottle can be held more stably.

In order to discharge the contents, it is preferable that the recessed portion 4 is located above the center of gravity of the bottle filled with the contents in an inverted state. Recess 4
Is initially located near the center of gravity of an inverted bottle. However, as the contents are discharged, the position of the center of gravity of the inverted bottle is lowered, so that the contents can be discharged more stably.

Further, the provision of the embossment on the bottom surface of the concave portion 4 makes it difficult for a finger to slip when gripping the bottle.

[0022]

According to the present invention, as described above, the bottle is gripped with a finger without discomfort by providing a concave portion having a size and depth at which a fingertip can be inserted and hooked at the upper end of the opposite panel portion. Can make the bottle easier to hold.

Further, when the bottle is grasped, the laterally elongated cylindrical wall portion between the recessed portion and the constricted portion functions as a reinforcing rib, so that the body does not dent and is deformed, and the bottle is stabilized without discomfort. It can be held in a state, and the ejection operability is improved.
