Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] "Industrial application field" The present invention relates to a barrel-shaped container made of synthetic resin.

``Prior Art'' Barrel-shaped containers made of synthetic resin are widely used as containers for carbonated drinks such as draft beer, but these containers usually have a main body and a body formed by biaxially stretching a synthetic resin material. A cylindrical member is fitted into both the upper and lower ends of the part.

Usually, this type of barrel-shaped container is large in size of 1.5 or more,
When the drinks are stored, they become quite heavy, making it difficult to carry them around if you don't have a handle on them. For this reason, the container is provided with a handle for carrying, and the barrel-shaped container is provided with a nozzle for attachment to the mouth and neck.

``Problem to be solved by the invention'' In the conventional container described above, the nozzle for attachment to the mouth and neck and the barrel-shaped container are handled separately, which makes packaging cumbersome and there is a risk that the nozzle may be lost during transportation.

The present invention stores the nozzle in the recess of the top opening formed around the mouth and neck of the barrel-shaped container to prevent the nozzle from coming off, and also allows the consumer to easily take out the nozzle when using it. Moreover, by storing the nozzle in the recess, the nozzle can be handled integrally with the barrel-shaped container without damaging the appearance of the barrel-shaped container.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' The upper end of the first cylindrical member 8 is attached to the lower end of the body of the container body 1 in which the mouth and neck 5 are erected from the upper end of the body 3 via the shoulders 4, and the upper end of the body The second cylindrical member 9
The lower ends are fitted together to form a barrel-shaped container,
An engagement plate 21 hanging forward and downward from the upper end of the handle 16 is engaged with the rear upper inner surface of the second cylindrical member 9 in the vertical direction of the rear surface of the barrel-shaped container, and the lower end of the handle is connected to the rear surface of the first cylindrical part. By fitting the handle into the cylindrical part 20 attached to the handle so that it cannot be pulled out, in the barrel-shaped container with the handle attached, the engagement plate 21 can be pressed freely up and down from the upper front surface of the engagement plate 21 via the flexible hinge 22. The plate 24 is projected forward, and the front end of the presser plate is engaged with the rear surface of the cap 7 fitted on the outer surface of the mouth and neck portion 5, so that the lower surface of the presser plate is positioned above the rear surface of the mouth and neck portion and the second cylindrical member. The upper surface of the mouth and neck attachment nozzle 25, which was housed laterally in the space above the shoulder between the rear part and the rear part, was pressed.

"Operation" To dispense a beverage, remove the front end of the presser plate 24 from the rear surface of the cap 7 from the nozzle 25 storage state shown in FIG. Remove the nozzle 2 from the mouth and neck.
5 is fitted. After use, the cap 7 is fitted into the mouth and neck part 5 from which the nozzle 25 has been removed, and then the nozzle 25 is housed and the presser plate 24 is laid down to engage the front end of the presser plate with the rear surface of the cap 7. Furthermore, Figure 2 C
In the nozzle storage state shown in the figure, the mouth and neck fitting member is removed from the nozzle pipe member and stored separately, and after both members are taken out, they are fitted to form the nozzle 25.

``Example'' In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a synthetic resin bottle, that is, a container body, which is formed by biaxially stretching a cold parison made of, for example, a saturated polyester resin. The container body has a trunk 3 standing up from the outer periphery of a bottom 2 formed on a spherical surface that bulges downward, and a mouth and neck part 5 standing up from the upper end of the trunk via a shoulder 4. An outward flange 6 projects from the outer periphery of the base of the mouth and neck, and a metal cap 7 is screwed onto the outer surface of the mouth and neck 5.

8 is a first cylindrical member whose upper end is fitted and fixed to the outer periphery of the lower end of the body 3 in order to stably stand up the container body 1; and 9 is a second cylindrical member whose lower end is fitted and fixed to the upper end of the body 3. It is a cylindrical member. The lower end portion of the second cylindrical member 9 and the upper end portion of the first cylindrical member 8 are formed into large-diameter portions 10 and 11 in the shape of barrel tightening rings, thereby forming the first and second cylindrical members. When 8 and 9 are installed, the container has a barrel-like appearance. The first cylindrical member 8 has a receiving plate 12 on its lower surface that supports the lower surface of the bottom 2 of the container main body, and the receiving plate 12 is preferably fixed to the lower surface of the bottom 2 with an adhesive. Further, an inward flange 13 is integrally provided, which curves downward from the upper end periphery of the second cylindrical member 9 toward the center, and stands upright at the center. The stepped portion 14 is engaged with the lower surface of the outward flange 6, and the upper end of the inward flange 13 is fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the stepped portion 14, thereby ensuring the fixation of the second cylindrical member 9 to the container body 1. Reference numeral 15 denotes a support cylinder that extends vertically from the lower surface of the inward flange 13 and reaches the shoulder 4.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a plate-shaped handle whose central part is arched rearward, and support seats 17 and 1 are provided on the front surfaces of the upper and lower parts along the upper rear surface of the second cylindrical member 9 and the lower rear surface of the body section 3.
8 are integrally formed. Although not shown in the figure, the lower end of the handle 16 is formed into a bifurcated engaging portion 19 with engaging claws protruding from both left and right outer surfaces, and this engaging portion 19 protrudes from the rear surface of the large diameter circumferential band portion 11. An engaging plate 21 is provided which is inserted from above into the cylindrical part 20 having openings on both upper and lower end surfaces and locks the upper end of the engaging claw to the left and right lower end surfaces of the cylindrical part 20, and which hangs forward and downward from the upper end of the handle 16. to engage the rear upper inner surface of the second cylindrical member 9,
A handle 16 is attached to the rear surface of the container in the vertical direction. A key that extends from the upper front surface of the engagement plate 21 of the handle 16 via the flexible hinge 22 to the rear surface of the cap 7 whose tip is screwed into the mouth and neck portion 5, and has a downward hook 23 bent from the tip. shaped presser plate 24
is always biased downward and can be raised and lowered freely.

In addition, there is a pull-up knob 26 from the top surface of the presser plate 24.
However, it is not necessary to provide this. Incidentally, an engagement groove 27 may be formed on the outer surface of the cap 7, and the front end of the presser plate 24 may be engaged with the engagement groove 27 so that the presser plate 24 can be locked more reliably.

A nozzle 25 for attaching the mouth and neck part 5 is housed in a space above the shoulder part 4 between the rear surface of the mouth and neck part 5 to which the cap 7 is screwed and the upper rear part of the second cylindrical member 9. As shown in FIG. 3 as a sideways assembly view, the nozzle is formed into a dogleg shape by tilting the upper half of the nozzle tube forward (downward in the drawing), which stands up when worn on the mouth and neck, and the outer surface of the lower half. A nozzle pipe member is formed by providing an engaging protrusion 29 approximately at the center in the vertical direction (front-to-back direction in the drawing). Then, a short circumferential wall is removably fitted to the outer surface of the nozzle pipe below the engagement protrusion 29, an outward flange is attached to the upper end of the short circumference wall to engage with the engagement protrusion 29, and the outward flange A fitting peripheral wall 31 that is removably provided hangs down from the lower surface of the outer periphery to the inner surface of the mouth and neck part 5, and the lower surface of an outward facing flange on the outside of the fitting peripheral wall is provided so as to be engageable with the upper end surface of the mouth and neck part 5 to fit the mouth and neck part. It forms a joint member. An intake pipe 28 is installed vertically on the inner back surface of the nozzle pipe, and the intake pipe is suspended below the nozzle pipe. Further, a flexible tab 30 protrudes from a part of the outer edge of the outward flange. The nozzle 25 has a size and shape that allows it to be stored in the space described above in a sideways state with the bent part of the dogleg-shaped nozzle tube protruding rearward, and the outer diameter of the nozzle tube is such that the front end is screwed into the neck part 5. The upper surface of the nozzle tube of the storage nozzle can be pressed by the lower surface of the presser plate 24 engaged with the rear surface of the cap 7. Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 2C, the nozzle 25 may be stored separately by removing the neck fitting member from the nozzle pipe member.

"Effects of the invention" According to the invention, the engagement plate 21 of the handle 16 is used to freely raise and lower the presser plate 24 which is engaged with the rear surface of the cap 7 whose tip is fitted into the container body neck 5. With this presser plate 24, the cap 7
Since the nozzle 25 stored in the recess of the upper surface opening formed around the container can be pressed and held from the upper surface, the nozzle 25 can be stored and held in the container and handled integrally with the container. Various advantages can be obtained, such as being convenient for use, since there is no risk of losing the nozzle 25, and it can be easily taken out. In addition, the structure is simple because the simple-shaped presser plate 24 is attached to the handle 16 by molding. Furthermore, since the nozzle 25 is housed laterally in the space above the shoulder between the rear surface of the neck portion 5 and the upper rear portion of the second cylindrical member 9, there is no risk that the nozzle will spoil the appearance of the barrel-shaped container. do not have.
