For this reason, the dimension, ratio, etc. between each component may differ.

(Configuration of bottle-type container 100)
The bottle-type container 100 includes a container 101. The container 101 is a container for storing the contents (not shown) of the bottle-type container 100, and is formed in a transparent bottomed cylindrical shape. More specifically, the container 101 has a bottom 101b that closes one end (lower side in the figure) of a body 101a that extends in a cylindrical shape in the vertical direction in the figure, and the other ( A mouth part 101c is formed at the end part (upper side in the figure), and the end part is opened upward in the figure.

  And this container 101 is comprised by the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin in this embodiment. That is, the container 101 in the present embodiment is configured by a so-called PET bottle. In the present embodiment, the container 101 is formed with an internal volume of 500 ml, but the volume of the container 101 may be 500 ml or less or 500 ml or more. The material constituting the container 101 can be a resin material other than a PET resin, and can also be a material other than a resin material, for example, various ceramic materials (glass material, earthenware for ceramics). .

  A recess 102 is formed in the body 101 a of the container 101 along the axial direction (the vertical direction in the figure) of the container 101. The recess 102 is a recess for forming a space used when a label body 104 (described later) provided on the outer peripheral portion of the body 101a of the container 101 is peeled from the container 101, and is provided on the body 101a. It is formed in a groove shape recessed in an arc shape on the side separated from the label body 104.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the concave portion 102 is formed with a width and a depth at which a part of a fingertip (for example, a toe portion) which is a tip portion of the operator's thumb F can be inserted. In the present embodiment, the recess 102 is formed to have a width of 6 mm and a depth of 4 mm from the surface of the body portion 101a. In addition, the recess 102 is formed with a length that is exposed to the outside of both end portions in the width direction of the label body 104 (axial direction of the container 101). In the present embodiment, the recess 102 is formed with a length of 150 mm in the width direction of the label body 104.

  On the other hand, the mouth portion 101c constituting the upper end portion of the container 101 is formed with a small diameter with the diameter of the body portion 101a narrowed upward in the figure, and a male screw (not shown) is provided on the outer peripheral portion of the small diameter portion. Is formed. A lid 103 is detachably provided on the mouth portion 101c. The lid 103 is a plug member for sealing the inside of the container 101 and is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape.

  The lid 103 has a female screw (not shown) that meshes with a male screw formed on the outer peripheral portion of the mouth portion 101c on the inner peripheral surface thereof, and is detachably fitted to the mouth portion 101c. Moreover, this cover body 103 is comprised by the polyethylene (PE) resin in this embodiment. Of course, the material constituting the lid 103 may be made of a material other than the PE resin, like the container 101.

  A label body 104 is provided on the surface of the body 101 a of the container 101. The label body 104 is a resin film member on which information (not shown) such as contents and product names accommodated in the container 101 is described, and is provided in close contact with the outer peripheral portion of the body 101 a of the container 101. It has been. In the present embodiment, the label body 104 is made of polypropylene (PP) resin, and is disposed so as to cover the outer peripheral portion of the body 101a of the container 101, and then is heated on the body 101a by heat shrinkage. It is fixed to. That is, the label body 104 in the present embodiment is a so-called shrink label.

  A perforation 105 is formed on the label body 104. The perforation 105 is an intermittent row of linear or dotted through-holes for facilitating the division of the label body 104 in the width direction, and is formed in a straight line between both ends of the label body 104 in the width direction. ing. The perforation 105 is formed along the recess 102 in the vicinity of the recess 102 formed in the body 101 a of the container 101. In the present embodiment, the perforation 105 is formed such that linear through holes are intermittently arranged along the recess 102 at a position on the central portion in the width direction of the recess 102.

(Manufacturing method of the bottle-type container 100)
Next, a method for manufacturing the bottle-type container 100 will be briefly described. The bottle-type container 100 is manufactured by the same manufacturing process as a conventional so-called PET bottle manufacturing method. That is, the container 101 in the bottle-type container 100 is formed into a test tubular preform (so-called barison) by an injection molding machine, and then formed into a bottle shape by a stretch blow molding machine. In the molding process of the container 101 by the stretch blow molding machine, the recess 102 is molded in the body 101a of the container 101 along the axial direction.

  Moreover, the label body 104 in the bottle-type container 100 is manufactured through each process of a printing process, a perforation forming process, a cutting process, and a cylinder forming process. In this case, the printing process is a process of printing information on the contents of the bottle-type container 100 and the product name on a transparent film wound into a roll as a raw material of the label body 104. Further, the perforation forming step is a step of forming the perforation 105 at a portion arranged on the concave portion 102 when the film on which the various information is described is arranged on the trunk portion 101 a of the container 101. In this perforation forming step, the perforation 105 is formed using a cutter in which cutting blades are intermittently formed on the outer periphery of the disk. The cutting step is a step of cutting the film in which the perforation 105 is formed into a rectangular shape. Moreover, a cylinder formation process is a process of bonding the both ends of the film cut | judged to the rectangular shape, and forming in a cylinder shape. Note that the perforation forming process may be performed before the printing process, or may be performed after the cutting process or the cylinder forming process.

  And the film formed in this way is covered with the outer peripheral part of the trunk | drum 101a of the container 101 formed in the bottle shape, Then, it heats with a hot air etc. FIG. In this case, the film formed in a cylindrical shape is heated in a state where the perforation 105 is positioned on the concave portion 102 formed in the trunk portion 101 a of the container 101. As a result, the film disposed on the body portion 101a contracts and adheres to the body portion 101a to form the label body 104.

  On the other hand, the lid 103 is manufactured by the same manufacturing process as that of the prior art, that is, by injection molding. The lid 103 manufactured by injection molding is attached by being screwed into the mouth part 101c of the container 101 after the container 101 is filled with the contents. In addition, the content filled in the container 101 is a liquid, solid, or semi-solid that can be taken in and out of the container 101 and is not particularly limited. For example, beverages, alcoholic beverages, Such as medicine, food or pet food. Moreover, the manufacturing method of the bottle-type container 100 described above is an example and is not limited to the above-described method, and is a method other than the above-described method, that is, a label other than a shrink label (for example, a stretch label (using elasticity of a film). It is natural that the label a)) can be used.

(Operation of bottle-type container 100)
Next, the operation of the bottle-type container 100 configured as described above will be described. The operator who peels off the label body 104 affixed on the outer surface of the container 101 of the bottle-type container 100 presses the fingertip against the perforation 105 formed on the label body 104 as shown in FIG. In this case, the operator may press the toe against the perforation 105 instead of the fingertip. As a result, the label body 104 is pushed into the recess 102 and the perforation 105 is torn.

  Next, the operator displaces the fingertip (or toe) pressed against the perforation 105 downward in the figure along the perforation 105 (see the broken arrow in the figure). As a result, the perforation 105 is continuously broken and the label body 104 is divided at the perforation 105. Then, the operator removes the label body 104 separated from the perforation 105 from the container 101, and finishes the peeling operation of the label body 104. In this case, the label body 104 is composed of a single film body divided by the perforation 105 and is not separated into two or more sheets unlike the prior art, and therefore, the label body 104 is discarded without being scattered. can do.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which the tip of the toe is pressed toward the upper end of the label body 104 in the figure and then the toe is displaced downward in the figure. After the toe is pressed against the part, the toe may be displaced upward in the figure, or the toe may be displaced from the center portion of the label 104 to the upper side and the lower side in the figure. FIG. 2 shows a state in which the lid 103 is attached to the mouth portion 101c of the container 101, but whether or not the lid body 103 is attached to the mouth portion 101c depends on the peeling operation of the label body 104. Is irrelevant.

  As can be understood from the above description of the operation, according to the above embodiment, the bottle-type container 100 includes the body 101a of the container 101 with the recess 102 formed along the bottom 101b from the mouth 101c and the body 101a. A perforation 105 is formed facing the recess 102 in the label body 104 wound around the portion 101a. Therefore, an operator who wants to peel off the label body 104 from the container 101 presses the label body 104 covering the concave portion 102 of the container 101 with a finger and displaces the finger along the concave portion 102 to label the label body 104. The perforation 105 of the body 104 can be cut apart and split. Thereby, since the label body 104 is formed from a cylindrical shape into a single band, the operator can easily remove the label body 104 from the container 101 and separate and discard it.

  Furthermore, in carrying out the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the object of the present invention. In the following modifications, the same reference numerals are given to the same components as those in the bottle-type container 100 in the embodiment described above, and the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the container 101 is formed with a bottom 101b at one end of a cylindrical portion 101a and a mouth 101c with a reduced diameter at the other end. Has been configured. However, the container 101 is configured such that a bottom portion 101b is formed at one end portion of a barrel portion 101a formed in a cylindrical shape, and a mouth portion 101c for taking in and out contents is formed at the other end portion. If it is, it is not limited to the said embodiment. For example, the container 101 may have a cross-sectional shape that is an elliptical shape or a polygonal shape that is greater than or equal to a triangular shape. Further, the mouth portion 101c may be formed with the same outer shape and inner shape as the body portion 101a without being narrowed, or may be formed with a shape that is wider than the outer shape and inner shape of the body portion 101a.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the recessed part 102 formed in the trunk | drum 101a of the container 101 formed the width | variety and the depth with the constant value. However, the width and depth of the recess 102 can be configured to change along the axial direction of the container 101. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the recess 102 can also be formed by forming the width and depth of a portion (upper end portion in the figure) into which the operator's fingertip is initially pushed wider and deeper than other portions. According to this, it is possible to easily perform the work of separating and tearing the label body 104 first.

  Further, the width of the recess 102 may be determined as appropriate according to the thickness of the object that presses the label body 104. For example, when the operator's toe or fingertip is pressed against the label body 104, the recess 102 may be formed to have a width corresponding to the width or thickness of the toe or fingertip, that is, a width into which the toe or fingertip can be inserted. . In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, by forming the width of the recess 102 corresponding to the width of the thumb F into which the operator's thumb F can be inserted, the pressing operation and the dividing operation of the label body 104 are facilitated. be able to. Of course, the finger pressing the label body 104 is not limited to the thumb F, and may be another finger, for example, an index finger.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, when a blade such as a thin rod B or a cutter (not shown) is inserted into the recess 102, it corresponds to the thickness or thickness of the rod B or the cutter. The recess 102 is formed with a width to be used. In this case, the recess 102 can be formed in an exposed state extending outward from the end of the label body 104. According to this, the operator can also divide without pressing the label body 104 by inserting the bar B or the cutter into the exposed portion of the recess 102 and displacing it along the recess 102. That is, the object that is pressed toward the recess 102 in order to separate the label body 104 is not limited to the operator's finger.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the recessed part 102 was formed in the state extended outside from the width direction both ends of the label body 104, and exposed. This makes it easy to press the end of the label body 104. However, the concave portion 102 is not necessarily limited to the above-described embodiment as long as the concave portion 102 has a length capable of tearing the label body 104 with a certain length. According to the experiment by the present inventor, the concave portion 102 only needs to be formed to have a length that is at least 1/3 of the length of the label body 104 in the width direction (the axial direction of the body portion 101a). Therefore, the recessed part 102 may be formed in the state which extended and exposed from either one of the width direction both ends of the label body 104 (refer FIG. 4), or the length of the width direction both ends. It can also be formed in the state formed below and completely covered with the label body 104.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the perforation 105 is formed across both ends of the label body 104 in the width direction. However, the perforation 105 should just be formed to such an extent that the label body 104 can be finally divided. According to the experiment of the present inventor, the perforation 105 only needs to be formed to have a length that is at least 1/3 or more of the length in the width direction of the label body 104 and a length that is longer than the length of the recess 102. . In this case, the operator divides the label body 104 by further tearing the label body 104 starting from the end of the cut portion of the perforation 105 with respect to the part of the label body 104 after the perforation 105. Can do.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the perforation 105 was comprised by the linear through-hole. However, the perforation 105 is not limited to the above-described embodiment as long as the perforation 105 can be separated by pressing the label body 104. For example, the perforation 105 can be configured by a dot-like through hole. Moreover, the perforation 105 can also be comprised by the thin part which does not penetrate the label body 104. FIG.

  In the above embodiment, the perforation 105 is formed at the center in the width direction of the recess 102 formed in the body 101 a of the container 101. However, the perforation 105 only needs to be provided at a position where the label body 104 on the recess 102 can be separated by pressing, that is, in the vicinity of the recess 102. Therefore, for example, the perforation 105 may be formed at a position facing the edge of the recess 102 formed in the body 101a of the container 101, or a cylinder adjacent to the edge as shown in FIG. It can also be formed at a position facing the surface of the portion 101a.

  In the above embodiment, the perforation 105 is formed in a straight line. However, the perforation 105 is not necessarily limited to the above embodiment as long as it is formed along the recess 102. For example, the perforation 105 may be formed by meandering along the recess 102 in the vicinity of the recess 102. In addition, the perforation 105 is formed in a spiral shape along the recessed portion 102 formed in a slanted line shape or a spiral shape by forming the recessed portion 102 in a slanted line shape or a spiral shape in the outer peripheral portion of the trunk portion 101a of the container 101. You can also.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the recessed part 102 was dented from the outer surface of the trunk | drum 101a of the container 101, and was formed. However, the recessed part 102 should just be formed in the shape dented in the direction separated from the label body 104 provided on the trunk | drum 101a. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, by forming a convex portion 106 protruding in an arc shape along the axial direction of the container 101 from the surface of the trunk 101 a on the outer surface of the trunk 101 a of the container 101. The concave portions 102 can be formed on both sides of the convex portion 106. In this case, the perforation 105 is formed at a position corresponding to the concave portion 102 formed on both sides of the convex portion 106 in the label body 104. Also by this, the same effect as the said embodiment can be expected.
