【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、把手付きの合成樹脂製容器に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
例えば、実開平６−81936 号が示すように把手付きの合成樹脂製容器が知られている。該容器は把手上端の屈曲部分外面へ指当て用凹みを設けたもので、容器を持ち上げて傾ける際、把手を持つ手の拇指を上記凹みへ当てて容器を傾けることで、液体注出を容易に行えるよう設けたものである。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
近時上記のような把手付きの合成樹脂製容器として、例えば４リットル入りの容器も用いられるようになった。このような大形容器は液体充填状態で相当の重量となるため、上記把手および指当て用凹みの位置が容器の使い易さに影響を及ぼす。
【０００４】
又容器は容器体内への液体充填、又容器箱詰め等の際にベルトコンベア上へ載置されることが多いが、この際容器体胴部の外面から把手が外方へ突出していると、把手同志がぶつかる等して容器が倒れ、支障を来すようなことがあった。
【０００５】
本発明は上記のような欠点を共に除去できるよう設けたものである。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
第１の手段として、円筒状の胴部２上端から、上内方へ起立する肩部３を介して口頸部４を起立し、かつ胴部の後方上部には、後面および左右両側面を開口する、把手部材取付け用の凹部５を設けた容器本体１と、側面からみてほぼＤ字形状をなし、前方側に有する起立板部12は上記凹部形成壁部へ縦設状態に固着させ、かつ後方側の起立板部は凹部後方部分に縦設させて把手13とした把手部材11とからなり、上記容器本体胴部は上下ほぼ同一外径とすると共に、上記把手13の後面は、上方からみて胴部分外周面後部から後方へ突出させることなく、該後部とほぼ同一外周面の後方部分ないし多少内方部分に位置させて設け、又上記凹部５の上端は、胴部上端よりも下方に設けて、上記把手13上方胴部分の後部に、後面および下面開口の縦溝で形成した指当て用凹み21を設けた。
【０００８】
第２の手段として、上記第１の手段を有すると共に、指当て用凹み21の後壁面を、把手13の後面とほぼ同一垂直面上に位置させて設けた。
【０００９】
【発明の実施の形態】
まず図１から図３が示す実施形態について説明すると、１は容器本体で、該容器本体は円筒状の胴部２上端から上内方へ起立する肩部３を介して口頸部４を起立する。又その胴部の後方上部には後面および左右両側面を開口する、取手部材取付け用の凹部５を有する。図示例では上記凹部下方も浅溝状の凹状部分６とするが、該凹状部分はデザイン上のもので必要に設ければよい。又胴部２の前半部外面には、レッテル貼布用の浅い凹状部７を大きく形成し、胴部２の下部には補強用の凹溝８を周設しているが、これ等も必要により設ければよい。
【００１０】
上記凹部５へは、側面からみてほぼＤ字形状をなす把手部材11を取付けている。該把手部材は前方側に有する起立板部12を凹部５の後壁部へ縦設状態に固着させ、又後方側の起立板部は、凹部後方部分へ図１が示すように縦設させて把手13としている。上記前方側起立板部12の固着は、その上下両端部を把手部材11の上下横設板14、15よりも上方および下方へ多少突出させておき、その前方側起立板部12をいわゆるインサート成形により、凹部５形成壁部内へ半ば埋設して行えばよい。尚把手13の上下両端部も上記上下横設板14、15よりも上下へ突出させて設けており、その上下突出部分前面を、凹部５の上下両壁部分へ当接させている。
【００１１】
既述胴部２の上下両部はほぼ同一外径としており、把手13の後面は図１、図３が示すように、容器上方からみて胴部分外周面後部とほぼ同一外面の後方部分ないし多少内方部分に位置させて設ける。図示例では胴部分外周面後部よりも把手後面を多少前方に位置させている。少なくともその把手後面は、上方からみた胴部分外周面後部よりも後方へ突出させないで設ける。
【００１２】
凹部５の上端は、胴部上端よりも下方に設けて、把手13上方の胴部分２の後部には指当て用の凹み21を形成する。図示例の凹み21は円形としてその凹みの下縁を、上記凹部５の上縁に近接させている。該凹みの大きさは拇指の指頭をその凹み部分内へ押付けるに充分な大きさとする。その凹みの後壁面は把手13の後面とほぼ同一垂直面上に設ける。
【００１３】
図４から図６は第２実施形態を示す。該実施形態は、第１実施形態の指当て用凹み21を、後面および下面開口の縦溝で形成したものであり、この場合縦溝下縁は把手13の後面上端とほぼ面一としている。その他構造は第１実施形態の場合と同じであり、同一部分については同一符号を付することで説明を省略する。
【００１４】
既述容器本体１および取手部材11は、それぞれ適宜合成樹脂材で成形する。
【００１５】
【発明の効果】
本発明は既述構成とするもので、容器体胴部は円筒状でかつ上下ほぼ同一外径とすると共に、把手13の後面を、上方からみて胴部分外周面の後部とほぼ同一外周面後方部分ないし多少内方部分に位置させて設けたから、把手が胴部外方へ突出している場合のように、多少の容器をベルトコンベアにより移動させる場合等に把手相互がぶつかって容器が倒れるようなことがない。
【００１６】
又取手部材取付け用の凹部５の上端は、容器本体胴部２の上端よりも下方に設けて把手13上方の胴部分後部に指当て用凹み21を設けたから、把手13上端と凹み21との間に適当の間隙を設けることが出来、従って把手を持って容器を持上げた際、把手を持つ手の人指し指上面が把手部材の上方横設板14下面へ当たった状態で、その手の拇指の指頭を上記凹み21へ当て易く、よってそのまま拇指の指頭に力を込めて容器を傾け、収納液体を注出する操作が容易となる。
【００１７】
指当て用凹み21を後面および下面開口の縦溝とすることで、容器成形時において、その縦溝成形用の金型の取外しが容易となる。
【００１８】
請求項２のように指当て用凹み21の後壁面を、把手13の後面とほぼ同一垂直面上に位置させることで、その凹み後壁面へ拇指の指頭を押付けて行う、既述液体注出操作を更に容易とすることが出来る。
