Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、押潰し可能とした角形プラスチックボトルとその押潰し方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、プラスチック廃棄物の処理が大きな問題となり、PETボトルを中心に使用済みプラスチック容器のリサイクルも実施されるようになっている。
また、廃棄物の容積を少なくするため、ボトルの押潰しが実施されるようになっており、押潰し可能とした角形のPETボトルも従来より知られている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来の角形ボトルは、ボトル胴部に、横方向に水平または波形に延びるリブと、該リブに連続する折れ目の形成を容易にするための短いリブ、および胴部の下端部に設けられた縦リブとを具えており、胴部を径方向に前後から押圧して扁平にし、次いで、扁平胴部を底部からボトル軸方向に折り曲げ、順次丸め込んでいくようにするか、あるいは底部と胴部下端を扁平にし、ボトル軸方向に折り曲げ、口部に向かって順次扁平にしながら丸め込んで廃棄ボトルとしている。
【0004】
しかしながら、胴部全体を通じて縦方向に延びるリブが配設されていないため、胴部を径方向に前後から押圧したときに扁平胴部の両側の折り曲げ端部が湾曲面となり、扁平胴部の対向面の間にある程度の厚さが残り、また、両側の折り曲げ端部が直線状に延びなかった。
そのため、扁平胴部の丸め込みにあたって、さらに大きい押圧力を加え、両側の折り曲げ部を扁平にしなければ丸め込みが容易に出来ないという問題点が生じ、押潰しが容易に完全に出来ないという問題点があった。
そして、軟質の合成樹脂の場合、あるいは薄肉のPETボトルの場合には、丸み込み押潰しが容易にできるが、一定厚さを有するPETボトル、あるいは厚肉の硬質の合成樹脂の場合には、押潰しが困難であるという問題点があった。
【0005】
本発明は、上記の問題点を解決し、角形ボトルにおいて、ボトル胴部の両側の対向面の中央部を外側に張り出させて折り曲げ、胴部を扁平とし、次いで、扁平にされた胴部に対して底部を折り曲げて、底部を胴部表面に接圧した状態に折りたたんで廃棄するようにした押潰し可能な角形プラスチックボトルと、その押潰し方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、上記の問題点を解決するため、角形プラスチックボトルとして、口筒部と、角錐部と角筒部とからなる肩周壁と、上部胴部と下部胴部とからなる角筒状の胴周壁と、底壁とを具えた角形プラスチックボトルであって、前記肩周壁の各壁面には、角錐部に肩部横リブを配設し、該肩部横リブの下方に二つの傾斜リブをV字形に配設しており、前記胴周壁の各壁面には、上部胴部の中央に縦リブを配設し、所定の位置に横リブを配設しており、下部胴部には、二つの傾斜リブを逆V字状に配設しており、肩周壁と上部胴部、上部胴部と下部胴部とのそれぞれの接続部には、溝状横リブが配設されていることを特徴とする構成を採用する。
【0007】
また、角形プラスチックボトルの別実施態様として、口筒部と、角錐部と角筒部とからなる肩周壁と、上部胴部と下部胴部とからなる角筒状の胴周壁と、底壁とを具えた角形プラスチックボトルであって、前記肩周壁の各壁面には、角錐部に肩部横リブを配設し、該肩部横リブの下方に二つの傾斜リブをV字形に配設しており、前記胴周壁の各壁面には、上部胴部の所定の位置に胴部横リブを配設し、該胴部横リブの上下に、左右に配設された上下の横リブとその中央側端部を連続する傾斜リブとからなる複数の波形リブを配設しており、下部胴部には、二つの傾斜リブを逆V字状に配設しており、肩周壁と上部胴部、上部胴部と下部胴部とのそれぞれの接続部には、溝状横リブが配設されていることを特徴とする構成を採用する。
【0008】
リブの集中によるボトルの弱化を防ぐために、肩周壁の傾斜リブ下端部と、溝状横リブの中央部および下部胴部の傾斜リブの上端部と溝状横リブの中央部にリブ相互の間に一定の間隔を設けるようにしたことを特徴とする構成を採用する。
【0009】
角形プラスチックボトルの押潰し方法は、口筒部と、角錐部と角筒部とからなる肩周壁と、上部胴部と下部胴部とからなる角筒状の胴周壁と、底壁とを具えた角形プラスチックボトルにおいて、上部胴部の胴周壁の対向する前後両側面を前後から押圧することによって、胴周壁の左右両側壁を、その中央線を折り目として外側に張り出させて折りたたみ扁平胴部を形成させ、同時に肩周壁の左右側壁の下端中央部と下部胴部の左右側壁の上端中央部を外側に張り出させて変形肩部と変形底部を形成し、次いで、変形肩部と変形底部を扁平胴部の壁面に対して同じ方向に折り曲げ、次いで、変形底部を、底壁が扁平胴部の側壁面に接合するよう折重ね、変形底部の端部を変形肩部の肩周壁により形成された湾曲面と扁平胴部の側壁面で挟持させ、折重ね状態を維持して折重ね廃棄ボトルとするものである。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、本発明の第1実施形態について、図面を参照して説明する。
図1,2,3に示すように、ボトルは、口筒部1と断面角形の肩周壁2、断面角形の胴周壁3と底壁4とからなっており、PETその他硬質の合成樹脂をもってブロー成形されている。
【0011】
口筒部1には、係合突条5と保持環6が設けられている。
肩周壁2は、円筒状の口筒部1に続く角部を円弧とし、縦方向に滑らかに湾曲した断面四角形の角錐部7と、該角錐部の下方に続く角部を円弧とした短い高さの角筒部8とからなっている。
【0012】
肩周壁2の4つの側壁すなわち前後の側壁2a,2bと左右に側壁2c,2dのそれぞれには、その角錐部7に肩部横リブ9が配設され、肩周壁2は、肩部横リブ9によって上部分と下部分に区分されている。
該下部分には角錐部7から角筒部8下端に至る二つの傾斜リブ10a,bがその下端を交差させV字状に配設されている。
肩周壁2の下端には、肩周壁2と胴周壁3の上端とを接続する周壁をめぐる上部溝状横リブ11が配設されている。
【0013】
胴周壁3は、角部を円弧とした四角形の筒状体で、上部胴部12とやや拡大された下部胴部13とからなっており、上部胴部12と下部胴部13との間には、周壁をめぐる下部溝状横リブ14が配設されている。
該下部溝状横リブ14は、胴周壁3の各側壁において、側壁面の中央から左右両側に向かってやや下向きに傾斜して延びる右側リブ14aと左側リブ14bからなり、その側端部は胴周壁3の角部で隣合う側壁の下部溝状横リブ14側端部と接続している。
【0014】
上部胴部12の4つの側壁すなわち前後の側壁12a,12b、左右の側壁12c,12dの各壁面の中央には、肩周壁2角筒部8の傾斜リブ10のV字状下端に連続して縦リブ15が設けられ、その下端は、下部溝状横リブ14の中央部に接続している。
【0015】
各側壁12a,b,c,dの表面の所定位置には、縦リブ15に交差して胴部横リブ16が配設されており、胴部横リブ16の上下には、縦リブ15を挟んで、所定の高さを有する波型の補強パネル17a,bが配設されている。
補強パネル17a,bを囲繞して補強リブ18が設けられており、該リブ18は、上リブ18aと下リブ18bと側リブ18cとからなっている。
【0016】
下部胴部13の前後の側壁13a,13b、左右の側壁13c,13dの各壁面には、下部溝状横リブ14の中央に連続し、左右に逆V字状に延びる二つの傾斜リブ19a,bが配設されている。
【0017】
肩部横リブ9、各傾斜リブ10,19と縦リブ15は、図3に示されているように、断面弧状で、両側の側壁と円弧をもって接続しており、上部溝状横リブ11、下部溝状横リブ14は、図1に示されているように、断面梯形溝で、溝底角部は一定の角度をもつよう形成されている。
【0018】
上記各リブは、壁面変形用の可変リブであって、長手方向には屈曲困難で、補強リブとしての役割を有するが、横方向にはリブ断面が変形するとともに、壁面との接続部が屈曲し、可変リブを軸線として両側の壁面が容易に折れ曲がるようになっている。
折り曲げ角度が大きくなると、リブ本体あるいは壁面との接続部で弾性限度を超えて塑性変形が起こり、変形形状を維持することができる。
【0019】
次に、ボトルの押潰し作用について、図面を参照して説明する。
始めに、ボトルの押潰し方法の概要について述べると、まず、胴壁部3上部胴部12の前後の側壁12a,b面を押圧し、図4〜7に示すように、左右の側壁12c,dの中央部を外側に張り出させ、縦リブ15を折り目として折り曲げて胴周壁3を扁平にして、扁平胴部3Aを形成する。
上部溝状横リブ11および下部溝状横リブ14の角部に近い部分を押圧すると、上部胴部12の扁平化と同時に、肩周壁2の角筒部8および下部胴部13の左右の側壁13a,b中央部が外方に張り出すことになる(ここで前後、左右は、図1,2,3におけるボトル軸心を基準とし、ボトルをその軸線を水平の状態にした場合は前後は上下となる)。
【0020】
図5,7に示すように、肩周壁2は、角錐状の上部分と、縦断面がほぼ三角形となった下部分とからなる変形肩部2Aとなる。
図6,7に示すように、下部胴部13は、下部溝状横リブ14を軸として廻動屈曲され、底壁4との間で縦断面がほぼ三角形の変形底部4Aが形成される。
かくして、図4〜7に示すような変形肩部2A、扁平胴部3Aと変形底部4Aとからなる扁平ボトルを得ることができる。
【0021】
次に、図9に示すようボトルの変形肩部2Aと変形底部4Aをそれぞれ上下の溝状横リブ11,14を軸として同一の側に廻動させ折り曲げる。
次いで、変形底部4Aを上方に折り重ね、底壁4の端縁を上部溝状横リブ11に係止させ、折り曲げた肩周壁2の側壁下部分2aaに形成された湾曲面と扁平胴部3Aの側壁面で挟持させるようにすると、図10に示すような折り重ね廃棄ボトルを得ることができる。
【0022】
次に、ボトルの構成に基づく押潰し時の作用について述べる。
まず、始めに、上部胴部12の対向する前後の側壁12a,bの壁面を、図2,3の矢印で示すように前後から押圧すると、図4〜7に示すように、上部胴部12の左右の側壁12c,12dの壁面は、縦リブ15を折り目として外方に張り出し、胴周壁2の角部が平坦になり、前後の側壁12a,12bは接圧されて、左右の側壁12c,12dの壁面の片側面と同一平面となる。
同時に肩周壁2の左右の側壁2c,2dの角筒部8の中央部と下部胴部13の左右の側壁13c,13dの中央部も外方に張り出す。
【0023】
肩周壁2は、口筒部1および肩周壁角錐部7の肩部横リブ9の上方部は厚肉であり、肩部横リブ9は長手方向には屈曲しないので、その上方部はほとんど変形しない。
傾斜リブ10は、長手方向には変形困難であるが湾曲可能であり、肩周壁2の左右の側壁2c,2d下部分では、傾斜リブ10下端は、側壁12c,12dの縦リブ15に引き寄せられ外方に張り出し、肩部横リブ9と二つの傾斜リブ10a,bによってほぼ三角形の平面が形成される。
前後の側壁2a,2bの下部分2aa,2bbでは、肩部横リブ9と上部溝状横リブ11との間で傾斜リブ10は、壁面を湾曲させるように作用する。
【0024】
かくして、肩周壁2は変形して、肩部横リブ9上方部は変形しない肩部が形成され、下部分では上部溝状横リブ11が屈曲されほぼ平行な二本の直線状となるので、肩部横リブ9と上部溝状横リブ11の間で、湾曲した前後の側壁下部分2aa,2bbと左右の三角形状の側壁からなる変形肩部2Aが形成される。
【0025】
図4,6に示すように下部胴部13は、上部胴部12の外側への張り出しに応じて、左右の側壁13c,13dの下部溝状横リブ14は、中央部で屈曲され、それに引き寄せられて傾斜リブ19a,19bの上端が外側に移動し、傾斜リブ19a,bと底壁4の端縁との間にほぼ三角形の傾斜した平面を形成する。
【0026】
前後の側壁13a,13bの壁面は、下部溝状横リブ14を軸として廻動し、左右の側壁13c,13dの片側面と同一平面となり、ほぼ台形の面が形成される。
下部溝状横リブ14は、左右の側壁13c,dの中央で折れ曲がって、ほぼ平行な二本の直線状となる。
かくして、下部胴部13は変形して、下部溝状横リブ14と底壁4の端縁で形成される台形の平面と、傾斜リブ19a,bと底壁端縁で形成される三角形の平面と、角形の底壁4とからなる変形底部4Aが形成される。
【0027】
次に、変形底部4Aを、その下部胴部13の前後の側壁13a,13b面のいずれかを、同じ側にある上部胴部12の前後の側壁12a,12b面と同一平面となるよう折り曲げると、図8に示すように扁平な押潰しボトルができる。
【0028】
その際には、例えば、下部胴部13の後側の側壁13bが上部胴部12の側壁12bとほぼ同一の平面となるまで廻動させると、下部溝状横リブ14a,bが中央から両側の角部にかけて傾斜しているので、図4の右半分をとると、前側壁13aの右側は右側リブ14aを軸に、右側壁13dの左側部分は左側リブ14bを軸に廻動し、前側壁13aと側壁13dとを結ぶ角部では双方の壁面が押し合うような力が作用する。
図の左半分も同様であり、壁面を押し合う力は、壁面が90度を越えて廻動されたときに台形の平面の変形状態を維持するように作用する。
【0029】
次に、変形肩部2Aを、下部溝状横リブ14を軸として変形底部4Aと同じ方向に折り曲げる。
その際には、図9に示すように上部溝状横リブ11の変形だけでなく、上部胴部12の変形も伴われる。
すなわち、上部胴部12は、折曲げ側の前側壁12aでは、補強リブ18の上リブ18aを折り目として、前側壁12aの側面上端部が折り曲げられる。
【0030】
上部溝状横リブ11は、折曲げ側すなわち肩周壁の前側壁2aの側では、リブ断面が閉じるよう折り込まれ、後側壁2bの側では、リブ断面が開くようになり、後側壁2bの側の上部溝状横リブ11が復元されることによって、上部胴部12の後側壁12bと、後側壁下部分2bbの湾曲面とのなす角度を広げ、肩周壁2の折り曲げ状態を維持するように作用する。
そして、前側壁2aの側では、上リブ18aの折れ曲がりにより、上部胴部前側壁12aの胴部横リブ16と上部溝状横リブ11を結ぶ線と前側壁下部分2aaの湾曲面のなす角度は90度以下に減少させられる。
【0031】
次に、変形底部4Aを、図8の状態から上方に折り曲げると、図9に示すように底壁端縁4aは、胴部横リブ16近くまで達する。
さらに、変形底部4Aを扁平胴部3A上に折重ねるようにすると、図10に示すように扁平胴部3Aは、胴部横リブ16を折れ目として屈曲し、変形底部4Aの他方の底壁端縁4bは、上部溝状横リブ11に係合し、変形底部4Aの底壁4と下部胴部の側壁13bの壁面は、上部溝状横リブ11を軸として屈曲された肩周壁2の前側壁下部分2aaの湾曲面で押さえられ、折重ね状態が維持される。
かくして、図10に示すような折り重ね廃棄ボトルを得ることができ、そのまま廃棄しても外力を加えない限り簡単には復元しない。
【0032】
次に第2実施形態について説明する。
本実施形態は、第1実施形態のリブの形状と配置を変えたものである。
以下第1実施形態と異なる点を中心に説明する。
図11に示すように、ボトルは、口筒部30と断面角形の肩周壁31、断面角形の胴周壁32と底壁33とからなっており、PETその他硬質の合成樹脂をもってブロー成形されている。
断面角形の肩周壁31、断面角形の胴周壁32は、前後左右の4つの側壁面を有しており、その側面は共通であるので、以下一つの側面である前壁面の構成のみについて説明する。
【0033】
肩周壁31は、前記第1実施形態と同様に角錐部34と、角筒部35とからなっている。
肩周壁31の各側壁には、その角錐部34に肩部横リブ36が配設され、その下方には角錐部34から角筒部35にかけて二つの傾斜リブ37a,bが下端が近接するよう対称的に配設されている。
肩周壁31の下端には、肩周壁31と胴周壁32の上端とを接続する上部溝状横リブ38が中央部に一定の間隔をおいて配設されている。
【0034】
胴周壁32の各側壁は、上部胴部39と下部胴部40とからなっており、上部胴部39の所定位置には、胴周壁32をめぐる胴部横リブ41が配設されている。
上部胴部39と下部胴部40との間に、側壁面の中央に対して一定の間隔をおいて端部を位置させ、端部から左右両側に向かってやや下向きに傾斜して延びる右側リブ42aと左側リブ42bからなる下部溝状横リブ42が設けられ、胴周壁32の角部で隣合う側壁の下部溝状横リブ42端部と接続している。
【0035】
上部胴部39の各側壁面には、複数の波形リブ43が配設されている。
波形リブ43は、上リブ43aと壁面の中心線を挟んで反対側に配置された下リブ43bと、上リブ43aと下リブ43bの内端を接続し、上下リブ43a,bより細巾の傾斜リブ43cとからなっている。
上部胴部39の胴部横リブ41の上下に配設された最上段の波形リブ43の上リブ43aおよび最下段の波形リブ43の下リブ43bの中心線の反対側には、上下のリブ43a,bとほぼ同形の横リブ44a,bが配設され、それぞれの横リブ44a,bは、対応する上リブ43aまたは下リブ43bと同一軸線上に配置されている。
【0036】
下部胴部40の側壁面には、下部溝状横リブ42より下方に、中央部に一定の間隔をおいて上端部を有し、下方に向かって両側に広がる二つの傾斜リブ45a,bが配設されている。
【0037】
本実施形態では、肩周壁31の傾斜リブ37a,bと上部溝状横リブ38、下部溝状横リブ42と傾斜リブ45a,bが壁面中央で一定の間隔をおいて配置されているので、リブの接続部における応力の集中を避けることができ、さらに側壁面に複数の波形リブ43を並列して配設しているので胴周壁32の温度による膨張収縮にも対応でき、ボトルが強化されている。
また、リブの接続部でリブ相互の間に間隔をおくよう配置することは第1実施形態に適用することが出来る。
【0038】
次に、ボトルの押潰し時の作用について説明する。
前後左右の4つの側壁面については、前記第1実施例と同一であるので、以下単に前後左右の側壁面というだけでとくに符号を付けて区別しない。
ボトルの押潰し方法の概略は、前記第1実施形態の押潰し方法と同一であり、まず扁平胴部3Aを形成し、それに続いて変形肩部2A、変形底部4Aの形成を行う。
次に、変形底部4Aと変形肩部2Aをそれぞれ上下の溝状横リブ38,42を軸として同一の側に廻動させ、さらに変形底部4Aを上方に折り重ね、底壁33の端縁を上部溝状横リブ38に係止させ、変形肩部2Aの湾曲面と扁平胴部3Aの側壁面で挟持させることによって、図10に示すような折り重ね廃棄ボトルを得ることができる。
【0039】
次に、リブの形状、配置について、第1実施形態と異なる構成に基づく押潰し時の作用について述べる。
扁平胴部3Aの形成にあたっては、胴周壁の上部胴部39の左右側壁面の外側への張り出し折り込みは、波形リブ43の傾斜リブ43cを折れ目として折りたたまれ、リブがない壁面部が傾斜リブ43cに連続して折れ、上下に直線状に連続した折れ目が形成される。
そしてリブの形状は異なるが図4〜7に示すような扁平胴部3Aが形成される。
【0040】
変形肩部2Aの形成にあたっては、肩周壁31の左右側壁の中央部は、上部胴部39の左右側壁面の張り出しに引き寄せられ、肩周壁31の下方部が外方に張り出し、肩部横リブ36と傾斜リブ37a,bにより図5に示すような三角形の平面が形成される。
その際、傾斜リブ37a,bの下端が接続していなくても、折れ目が胴周壁の側壁面に連続して形成され、間隔の有無は影響しない。
【0041】
変形底部4Aの形成、下部胴部40の変形にあたっても、下部胴部40の左右側壁の中央部が上部胴部39の張り出しに応じて引き寄せられ、図6に示すような底壁33と傾斜リブ45a,bにより三角形の平面が形成される。
上部溝状横リブ38、下部溝状横リブ42についても、中央部に一定の間隔を置いて非連続部が形成されているが、肩周壁31の折り曲げ、下部胴部40の折れ曲げには影響しない。
【0042】
以上に続く、変形肩部2A、扁平胴部3A、変形底部4Aの変形順序は第1実施形態のそれと同様であって、したがって、第2実施形態においても前記第1実施形態と同様な作用効果を得ることができ、図10に示すような折重ね廃棄ボトルを得ることができる。
【0043】
前記各実施形態では、口筒部に係合突条5を刻設して打栓式のキャップ、中栓を用いるようにしているが、口筒部外周にネジを刻設しネジキャップを用いるようにしてもよい。
また、各側周壁の表面中央部に配設された波型の補強パネル17、補強パネル17を囲繞する補強リブ18の形状については適宜変更することができ、また場合によっては形成しなくてもよい。
【0044】
【発明の効果】
本発明は、上記のように構成されているから、次の効果を奏する。
ボトルの胴周壁の中央部に縦リブまたは波形リブの傾斜部、肩周壁にV字形リブ、下部胴部に逆V字形リブを配設し、周壁を左右壁面の中央部で外方に折りたたむようにしているので、胴周壁表面を所定の形状通りの薄い扁平胴部とすることができる。
次いで、扁平胴部を折り重ねるようにしているので、ボトルの折り重ねが所定の形状になるよう容易にでき、押潰しボトルの容量を小さくすることができた。
肩部を上部溝状横リブを軸として折り曲げ、変形底部の底壁端縁を上部溝状横リブに係止し、変形底部を胴部上端部と肩部下部分の湾曲面で挟み込んでいるので、折りたたんだ状態を維持することができ、外力を加えない限り簡単には復元しないので、そのまま廃棄ボトルとして廃棄することができる。

And a rectangular tube portion 8.
[0012]
A shoulder lateral rib 9 is disposed on each of the four side walls of the shoulder peripheral wall 2, that is, the front and rear side walls 2a and 2b and the left and right side walls 2c and 2d. 9 is divided into an upper part and a lower part.
In the lower portion, two inclined ribs 10a, b extending from the pyramid portion 7 to the lower end of the square tube portion 8 are arranged in a V shape with their lower ends intersecting.
At the lower end of the shoulder peripheral wall 2, an upper groove-like lateral rib 11 is disposed around the peripheral wall connecting the shoulder peripheral wall 2 and the upper end of the trunk peripheral wall 3.
[0013]
The trunk peripheral wall 3 is a quadrangular cylindrical body having a circular arc at the corner, and is composed of an upper trunk 12 and a slightly enlarged lower trunk 13, and between the upper trunk 12 and the lower trunk 13. Is provided with a lower groove-like lateral rib 14 surrounding the peripheral wall.
The lower groove-like lateral ribs 14 are each composed of right and left ribs 14a and 14b extending from the center of the side wall surface so as to be inclined slightly downward from the center of the side wall surface to the left and right sides. It connects with the lower groove-like lateral rib 14 side end part of the adjacent side wall at the corner of the peripheral wall 3.
[0014]
At the center of the four side walls of the upper body 12, that is, the front and rear side walls 12 a and 12 b and the left and right side walls 12 c and 12 d, are continuously connected to the V-shaped lower ends of the inclined ribs 10 of the shoulder peripheral wall rectangular tube portion 8. A vertical rib 15 is provided, and the lower end thereof is connected to the central portion of the lower groove-shaped horizontal rib 14.
[0015]
At predetermined positions on the surfaces of the side walls 12 a, b, c, and d, the trunk lateral ribs 16 are disposed so as to intersect the longitudinal ribs 15. The longitudinal ribs 15 are disposed above and below the trunk lateral ribs 16. Corrugated reinforcing panels 17a and 17b having a predetermined height are disposed therebetween.
Reinforcing ribs 18 are provided so as to surround the reinforcing panels 17a, b, and the ribs 18 are composed of an upper rib 18a, a lower rib 18b, and a side rib 18c.
[0016]

[0017]
As shown in FIG. 3, the shoulder lateral rib 9, the inclined ribs 10, 19 and the longitudinal rib 15 are arc-shaped in cross section and are connected with side walls and arcs on both sides, and the upper groove-shaped lateral rib 11, As shown in FIG. 1, the lower groove-shaped lateral rib 14 is a trapezoidal groove in cross section, and the groove bottom corner is formed to have a certain angle.
[0018]
Each of the above ribs is a variable rib for deforming the wall surface, and it is difficult to bend in the longitudinal direction and has a role as a reinforcing rib. However, the rib cross-section is deformed in the lateral direction and the connecting portion with the wall surface is bent. The wall surfaces on both sides can be easily bent with the variable rib as an axis.
When the bending angle is increased, plastic deformation occurs exceeding the elastic limit at the connecting portion with the rib main body or the wall surface, and the deformed shape can be maintained.
[0019]
Next, the crushing action of the bottle will be described with reference to the drawings.
First, the outline of the crushing method of the bottle will be described. First, the front and back side walls 12a and 12b of the upper body 12 of the body wall 3 are pressed, and as shown in FIGS. The central portion of d is projected outward, the longitudinal ribs 15 are bent as creases, and the trunk peripheral wall 3 is flattened to form the flat trunk portion 3A.
When the portions close to the corners of the upper groove-shaped horizontal ribs 11 and the lower groove-shaped horizontal ribs 14 are pressed, the upper barrel portion 12 is flattened, and at the same time, the rectangular tube portion 8 of the shoulder peripheral wall 2 and the left and right sidewalls of the lower barrel portion 13 13a, b center part will project outward (here front and back, left and right are based on the bottle axis in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 and the front and back when the axis of the bottle is horizontal) Up and down).
[0020]
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the shoulder peripheral wall 2 is a deformed shoulder portion 2 </ b> A including a pyramid-shaped upper portion and a lower portion whose longitudinal section is substantially a triangle.
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the lower body portion 13 is rotationally bent with the lower groove-like lateral rib 14 as an axis, and a deformed bottom portion 4 </ b> A having a substantially triangular cross section with the bottom wall 4 is formed.
Thus, a flat bottle composed of the deformed shoulder 2A, the flat trunk 3A and the deformed bottom 4A as shown in FIGS. 4 to 7 can be obtained.
[0021]
Next, as shown in FIG. 9, the deformed shoulder portion 2A and the deformed bottom portion 4A of the bottle are turned and bent on the same side around the upper and lower groove-like lateral ribs 11 and 14, respectively.
Next, the deformed bottom portion 4A is folded upward, the end edge of the bottom wall 4 is locked to the upper groove-like lateral rib 11, and the curved surface formed on the side wall lower portion 2aa of the folded shoulder peripheral wall 2 and the flat trunk portion 3A. If it is made to hold | grip on the side wall surface of this, a folding disposal bottle as shown in FIG. 10 can be obtained.
[0022]
Next, the action at the time of crushing based on the configuration of the bottle will be described.
First, when the wall surfaces of the front and rear side walls 12a and 12b facing the upper body 12 are pressed from the front and rear as shown by the arrows in FIGS. 2 and 3, as shown in FIGS. The wall surfaces of the left and right side walls 12c and 12d project outward with the vertical ribs 15 as creases, the corners of the waist wall 2 become flat, and the front and rear side walls 12a and 12b are pressed against each other, so that the left and right side walls 12c and 12d It becomes the same plane as one side of the wall surface of 12d.
At the same time, the central portion of the rectangular tube portion 8 of the left and right side walls 2c, 2d of the shoulder peripheral wall 2 and the central portion of the left and right side walls 13c, 13d of the lower body portion 13 are projected outward.
[0023]
The shoulder peripheral wall 2 is thick at the upper part of the shoulder lateral rib 9 of the mouth tube part 1 and the shoulder peripheral wall pyramid part 7, and since the shoulder lateral rib 9 is not bent in the longitudinal direction, the upper part is almost deformed. do not do.
The inclined rib 10 is difficult to deform in the longitudinal direction but is bendable. In the lower portions of the left and right side walls 2c and 2d of the shoulder peripheral wall 2, the lower end of the inclined rib 10 is attracted to the vertical ribs 15 of the side walls 12c and 12d. Projecting outward, a substantially triangular plane is formed by the shoulder lateral rib 9 and the two inclined ribs 10a and 10b.
In the lower portions 2aa and 2bb of the front and rear side walls 2a and 2b, the inclined rib 10 acts between the shoulder lateral rib 9 and the upper groove-shaped lateral rib 11 so as to curve the wall surface.
[0024]
Thus, the shoulder peripheral wall 2 is deformed, and the upper portion of the shoulder lateral rib 9 is formed with a shoulder portion that is not deformed, and the upper groove-shaped lateral rib 11 is bent at the lower portion to form two parallel straight lines. Between the shoulder lateral rib 9 and the upper groove-shaped lateral rib 11, a deformed shoulder 2 </ b> A comprising curved front and rear side wall lower portions 2 aa and 2 bb and left and right triangular side walls is formed.
[0025]
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the lower body 13 is bent at the center portion and drawn toward the lower groove-like lateral ribs 14 of the left and right side walls 13 c and 13 d according to the outward projecting of the upper body 12. As a result, the upper ends of the inclined ribs 19 a and 19 b move outward, and a substantially triangular inclined plane is formed between the inclined ribs 19 a and 19 b and the edge of the bottom wall 4.
[0026]
The wall surfaces of the front and rear side walls 13a and 13b rotate around the lower groove-shaped lateral rib 14 as an axis, become flush with one side surface of the left and right side walls 13c and 13d, and form a substantially trapezoidal surface.
The lower groove-shaped lateral rib 14 is bent at the center of the left and right side walls 13c, d, and becomes two substantially parallel straight lines.
Thus, the lower body portion 13 is deformed to form a trapezoidal plane formed by the lower groove-shaped lateral rib 14 and the edge of the bottom wall 4, and a triangular plane formed by the inclined ribs 19a, b and the bottom wall edge. And the deformation | transformation bottom part 4A which consists of the square bottom wall 4 is formed.
[0027]
Next, when the deformed bottom portion 4A is bent such that one of the front and rear side wall surfaces 13a and 13b of the lower body 13 is flush with the front and rear side walls 12a and 12b of the upper body 12 on the same side. As shown in FIG. 8, a flat crushing bottle is formed.
[0028]
In that case, for example, when the rear side wall 13b of the lower body part 13 is rotated until it becomes substantially the same plane as the side wall 12b of the upper body part 12, the lower groove-like lateral ribs 14a, b are formed on both sides from the center. 4, the right side of the front side wall 13a rotates around the right rib 14a, and the left side of the right side wall 13d rotates around the left rib 14b. At the corner portion connecting the side wall 13a and the side wall 13d, a force acts so that both wall surfaces are pressed against each other.
The same applies to the left half of the figure, and the force pressing the wall surface acts to maintain the deformed state of the trapezoidal plane when the wall surface is rotated over 90 degrees.
[0029]
Next, the deformed shoulder 2A is bent in the same direction as the deformed bottom 4A with the lower groove-shaped lateral rib 14 as an axis.
At that time, not only the deformation of the upper groove-shaped lateral rib 11 but also the deformation of the upper body 12 are accompanied as shown in FIG.
That is, the upper body portion 12 is bent at the front side wall 12a on the folding side, with the upper rib 18a of the reinforcing rib 18 being a crease, and the upper end of the side surface of the front side wall 12a is bent.
[0030]
The upper groove-like lateral rib 11 is folded so that the rib cross section is closed on the bent side, that is, the front side wall 2a side of the shoulder peripheral wall, and the rib cross section is opened on the rear side wall 2b side. The upper groove-shaped lateral rib 11 is restored, so that the angle formed by the rear side wall 12b of the upper trunk portion 12 and the curved surface of the rear side wall lower portion 2bb is widened so that the shoulder peripheral wall 2 is kept bent. Works.
Then, on the side of the front side wall 2a, an angle formed by a line connecting the trunk side lateral rib 16 of the upper body front side wall 12a and the upper grooved lateral rib 11 and the curved surface of the front side wall lower portion 2aa due to the bending of the upper rib 18a. Is reduced to 90 degrees or less.
[0031]
Next, when the deformed bottom portion 4A is bent upward from the state of FIG. 8, the bottom wall edge 4a reaches to the vicinity of the trunk lateral rib 16 as shown in FIG.
Further, when the deformed bottom portion 4A is folded on the flat body portion 3A, the flat body portion 3A bends with the body portion lateral rib 16 as a fold as shown in FIG. 10, and the other bottom wall of the deformed bottom portion 4A. The edge 4b engages with the upper groove-shaped lateral rib 11, and the wall surface of the bottom wall 4 of the deformed bottom portion 4A and the side wall 13b of the lower trunk portion of the shoulder peripheral wall 2 bent with the upper groove-shaped lateral rib 11 as an axis. It is pressed by the curved surface of the front side wall lower portion 2aa and the folded state is maintained.
Thus, a folded waste bottle as shown in FIG. 10 can be obtained, and even if discarded as it is, it is not easily restored unless an external force is applied.
[0032]
Next, a second embodiment will be described.
In the present embodiment, the shape and arrangement of the ribs of the first embodiment are changed.
Hereinafter, a description will be given focusing on differences from the first embodiment.
