Abstract

(57) [Summary] (Modifications required) [Problem] Containers such as canned or plastic bottles are generally strong, so it is difficult for humans to easily shrink them. When it is collected and disposed of as it is or reused, it is compressed using a machine. Therefore, it requires a large amount of cost, such as securing many disposal sites, and has recently become a serious pollution problem. An object of the present invention is to provide a cylindrical portion of a cylindrical container 1 with an uneven cross section in the vertical direction of the cylindrical portion, and reduce the strength at each top or lower portion of the uneven cross section. A cutting groove 1B parallel to the circumference of the cylindrical portion is arranged and molded. In the disposal method of the cylindrical container 1 according to the present invention, by applying a compressive force in the cylindrical direction, the cutting groove 1B is narrowed, and the cylindrical portion is reduced in the cylindrical direction and does not recover. Therefore, according to the present invention, since the shape can be easily and manually reduced to a uniform shape, storage and recovery can be facilitated, and costs can be reduced, a disposal site can be reduced, and pollution can be solved.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to the disposal of used containers in everyday life and industry, for example, containers such as empty cans or plastic bottles.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Containers such as canned or PET bottles commonly found are relatively hard to break, for example, by increasing the plate thickness or providing irregularities on the cylindrical part to ensure the required strength, and consider disposal. It has not been done. Therefore, it is difficult to reduce the size easily by human hands, and even if it is made of a relatively soft material such as an aluminum can and can be crushed, it is not uniform and has little effect. For this reason, when temporarily storing empty cans or PET bottles used at home or the like, a space that is almost the same as the original model is required. Also, when it is collected and reused, it is compressed using a machine. Furthermore, in the case of disposal, a large amount of void volume is transported, and many disposal sites are secured, which requires enormous costs, and has recently become a serious pollution problem. However, if containers such as used empty cans or PET bottles can be easily and manually reduced to a uniform shape, storage and recovery will be easy, contributing to cost reduction and reduction of waste disposal sites. it can.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and arranges an uneven cross section in the vertical direction of the cylindrical portion on the cylindrical portion of the cylindrical container, and reduces the strength at each top or lower portion of the uneven portion. A cutting groove for the purpose is provided in parallel with the circumference of the cylindrical portion and molded. According to the disposal method, by applying a compressive force in the cylindrical direction by hand, the cut groove is narrowed and the cylindrical portion is reduced, and the volume can be easily reduced.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a cylindrical container 1 according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the cylindrical container 1. FIGS. 3 to 5 are enlarged cross-sectional views of portions A, B, and C in FIG. FIG. 6 is a vertical cross-sectional shape deformation diagram when shifting to (a), (b), and (c) when a compressive force is applied in the cylindrical direction. In FIGS. 1 and 2, an uneven cross section is arranged in the cylindrical portion of the cylindrical container 1 in the vertical direction of the cylindrical portion, and the strength is reduced at each top or lower portion of the uneven cross section. A cutting groove 1B parallel to the circumference of the cylindrical portion is arranged and molded. In the disposal method of the cylindrical container 1 according to the present invention, the cutting groove 1B is constricted by applying a compressive force in the cylindrical direction by a human hand, and the shape is deformed as shown in FIGS. 6 (a), (b) and (c). However, the cylindrical portion is reduced in the cylindrical direction and does not recover.

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the present invention, even if it is desired to reduce the size of a cylindrical container such as a used empty can or a plastic bottle as in the related art, it is difficult for a human to easily handle the container because of its strength. Even if it can be crushed like an aluminum can, it will be uneven, and there will be no fear that the effect will be diminished.Everyone who is interested in pollution, from children to adults, can easily reduce the size of the product. It can also provide a deep sense of satisfaction to contribute. In addition, in the case of re-use, in some cases, it can be processed without compression by a machine or the like, which leads to cost reduction. Furthermore, in the case of disposal, we are convinced that we can reduce waste disposal sites and contribute to pollution problems.
