Description

Container capable of maintaining its compressed state in a longitudinal direction}

The present invention is directed to the improvement of a container which can reduce the length (reduce the volume) of the juice or mineral water molded by a method of blowing air (blow) or the like, in particular, after drinking. It is about.

Sales of plastic bottles have been increasing rapidly in recent years. However, when the juice or mineral water in the container body is consumed and the container body is destroyed, the container body is the same as before drinking. When the container is disposed of in the garbage bin, the garbage can quickly becomes full, and eventually, it is left on the road and living environment The biggest drawback is that the recovery cost of the finished container body and the labor cost for cleaning are a big burden on the public works.

For this reason, this has been thoroughly done in recent years under the agreement of many local governments and organizations in Japan that they crush empty containers and reduce their capacity and do not collect them unless they are disposed of in trash.

In addition, while this kind of resin bottle can be manufactured by easy means such as blow molding, it is still difficult in terms of strength of automobiles or other conveying means with severe vibration, or displays stacked in front of a store. There was not enough.

Moreover, even when the manufacturer of a container conveyed it to the company which encloses juice or mineral water, the said container main body was expanded and it was as if it was conveying air, and the ratio which carried the product return cost was considerable.

Therefore, the inventors of the present application first make it possible to make the volume very small when drinking the juice or mineral water in the container main body and destroying the container main body. The number of highly acclaimed containers and their manufacturing methods have been proposed.

The present invention is further improved, the object of the present invention is to devise to crush the empty container with a hand lightly crushed by hand, the amount of the crushed crushed, that is, the height of the crushed is very small, again closing the bottle cap You don't have to do it to keep it distorted.

As a result, the empty container can be thrown into the trash can in a larger amount than in the prior art, and the conveyance for recycling can be carried out in a large amount at the same time, so that the recovery cost and the labor cost for cleaning and recovery can be significantly reduced.

Moreover, also when the manufacturer of a container conveys to a company which encloses juice and mineral water, the amount of one conveyance remarkably increased compared with the conventional quantity.

In addition, the object of the present invention is to make the volume very small when destroying or conveying a finished container as described above, and the state is long or long term without applying a restoring force to the container body. Or it is to maintain the reduced shape until the operation such as grinding or melting for recycling.

In addition, an object of the present invention is to make the volume very small when the container body is discarded after drinking the juice or mineral water in the container body, compared to the conventional empty container body was not completely accommodated in the trash can That is, the number of storages is significantly increased.

It is also an object of the present invention that the empty container main body can be transported in large quantities at the same time, so that the recovery cost and the labor cost for cleaning and recovery can be greatly reduced.

On the other hand, the container body of the present invention, when using it as a beverage container, its appearance shape is outstanding, and attracts a lot of interest to the user, while the container body slips or falls during use, or even if the contents overflow. It is possible to prevent, to provide a container capable of maintaining a state in which the longitudinal direction is reduced, and to propose a reduction method.

On the other hand, the present invention has other excellent objects, features, and effects of the invention, which will be apparent from the description of the following examples.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiment of this invention is described according to drawing.

In FIG. 1, (1) is a container main body, and the outer periphery and the inner periphery of the height (length) direction become the corrugated tubular shape 2.

(First embodiment)

In FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 20, in the state which mineral water was enclosed in the said container main body 1, after drinking it, it showed the state which crushed in one side or both sides in the height (length) direction. In other words, the present invention has an excellent constitution to press the container body 1 in such a state that it is crushed and maintains the crushed state, and exhibits an excellent effect.

As an example, in FIG. 3, the diameter of the container main body 1 in which the male screw was provided in the outer periphery is a drinking hole part of about 28 mm diameter and about 23 mm in height, and just underneath it is about 51 mm diameter in the lower part. A trumpet-shaped connecting portion D having an enlarged height of 5 to 10 mm is connected on the axis of the drinking hole 3. In the shoulder C of the container main body 1, there is an annular groove (an annular groove) E having a “U” shaped horizontal end, and as shown in FIG. 21, the trumpet-shaped connection part D is formed. The end and the inner side of the annular groove E are connected. In addition, the outer side of the U-shaped groove E has a semi-elliptic shape 4 facing downward, and the outer diameter of the corrugated tubular shape 5 of the first stage (that is, the uppermost end of the corrugated tubular shape 2) ( dl) is made into the diameter smaller than the outer diameter d of the container main body 1. As shown in FIG. Subsequently, the outer diameter d2 of the corrugated tubular shape 6 of a 2nd stage is larger than the outer diameter dl of the corrugated tubular shape 5 of a said 1st stage with respect to the corrugated tubular shape 5 of a 1st stage | paragraph. It is smaller than the outer diameter d of (1).

Furthermore, the outer diameter d3 of the third stage corrugated tubular shape 7 of the third stage smaller than the outer diameter d2 of the corrugated tubular shape 6 of the said second stage and smaller than the outer diameter of the container main body 1 is made to be continuous. As seen from the side, it has a staircase shape. Of course, this is not limited to only three stages as described above, but may be appropriate multiple stages, but in the embodiment of FIG.

Specifically, the container of FIG. 1 was made into the shape which has the wrinkle of l2 steps in the container main body 1 of height 195mm x maximum diameter 71.5mm (phi) capacity 500m1.

In this case, the outer diameter dl of the corrugated tubular shape 5 of the first stage is 60. 5 mm, the outer diameter d2 of the corrugated tubular shape 6 of the second stage is 67.9 mm, and these first stages are The inner diameter between the corrugated tubular shape 5 and the corrugated tubular shape 6 of the second stage was 47 mm.

Similarly, the outer diameter d3 of the corrugated tubular form 7 of the third stage is 69.7 mm, and the inner diameter between the corrugated tubular form 6 of the 2nd stage and the corrugated tubular form 7 of the 3rd stage is 51. I made lmm. Moreover, the outer diameter d of the corrugated tubular shape 8 of the fourth stage is 71.5 mm in diameter which is the maximum outer diameter of the said container main body 1, and the corrugated tubular shape 7 of the 3rd stage and the corrugated tubular shape of a 4th stage are The inner diameter between (8) was 55.5 mm. In addition, the outer diameter of the corrugated tubular shape of the following fifth to twelfth stages is the same as the outer diameter d of the corrugated tubular shape 8 of the fourth stage, and the inner diameter therebetween is also the corrugated tubular shape of the third stage. It is the same as that between (7) and the corrugated barrel shape 8 of a 4th stage.

In this case, each of the corrugations has the same shape as an unidentified flying object (UFO) called Adamsky type, and is thus divided into two parts in the horizontal direction.

At this time, in Figure 1, the height of the upper (hl): lower (h2) of the pleats of the first stage is 6.5 mm: 5.5 mm, the height of the pleats of the second stage is 7 mm: 5 mm, the height of the pleats of the third stage is 8.5 mm: 6.5 mm.

More specifically, the cross-sectional shape of these wrinkles is shown in FIG. That is, this is an example of the wrinkle dimension of the first end 5 to the third end 7, the shape of the upper surface 20 of the broad abacus shape in Figure 5 is 20 mmR in this embodiment projecting outward It is important that the lower surface 21 is a straight line 11 through the projecting arc 10 of 0.8 mmR.

Referring to this configuration of the present embodiment with its operation, the container body 1 in the state of FIG. 1 is roughly divided into two parts, the trunk portion A and the upper shoulder C, each of which includes a central portion and a lower portion, respectively. Since the diameter consists of two diameters, a large diameter and a small diameter in each comparison, the site | part (A) (C) of is maintaining the stable perpendicular | vertical state.

That is, the trunk portion A including the central portion and the lower portion is formed with the same inner and outer diameter wrinkles, the shoulder C is apparently curved in the convex shape of the inclined hole 3 in the drinking hole 3 direction, in particular the shoulder (C) ) Gradually decreases the inner diameter of the concave portion 18 forming the corrugation between the central portion and the drinking hole 3, and the inclination angle is also larger than the trunk portion A. In the elongated state, the inner diameter and the inclined surface of the convex portion 17 and the concave portion 18, which form wrinkles, can maintain the elongation and extension state with the strength and elasticity of the material. Moreover, of course, what is called "stability" improves by making bottom face B into the concave shape of a steep slope.

On the other hand, the cap 14 is covered with the container main body 1 provided on the market. Therefore, the cap 14 is removed, and after the contents are finished, the drinking hole 3 is pushed down, and the shoulder C or the trunk A is compressed and reduced as shown in FIGS. 3 and 20. Then, the wrinkles of the shoulder C are pressed in the state shown in FIG. 6, and the cross sections of the recesses of the wrinkles located in the neighboring region are compressed in the vertical direction of the recesses 18. In the state seen from the apex of the convex portion 17 of the wrinkles at this point in time, the concave portions 18 on both sides are pushed to the apex side of the convex portion 17 as shown in Figs. The upper surface 20 of the concave portion 17 of the concave portion 17 is larger than the pressure component on the steep side of the lower slope 21 because the compressive component on the lightly inclined side with respect to the lower surface 21 is less inclined. It moves to the vertex side.

At this time, two large changes occur in the container main body 1. That is, the first is that the inner diameter of the convex portion 17 constituting the corrugation is increased by the enlargement pressure or the inner diameter of the concave portion 18 is reduced by the compression pressure, and the second is the steep slope of the lower surface 21 constituting the corrugation. Will be bent.

Subsequently, the steep inclined side passes directly under the convex portion 17, and further, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, it penetrates into the inclined side of the upper slope 20 and moves the height of the container body 1 to a shortened state. When the inner diameter of the convex portion 17 and the inner diameter of the concave portion 18 are restored, the rest of the convex portion 17 is bent by the above operation, and the stable state is restored to the state of the temple. . Therefore, it was possible to maintain the shortened state without always applying a compressive force.

In addition, the concave portion 18 having a small inner diameter is subjected to compressive pressure, and furthermore, the inner diameter is reduced and a pressure stress is generated. The loss of compression pressure acts to release the stress and restores the stretched state. When the cap 14 is tightened in the pressure state and atmospheric pressure is applied, the container body 1 is kept in a shortened state, and in the case where compressive stress does not occur due to the difference in the inner diameter of the concave portion 18, the shortened state is maintained. It is done.

As a result, in the overlapping experiment, the container main body 1 has a height (volume) of 1/3 to 1/4 or less, and even if it is thrown into a trash box or the like, the space can be significantly reduced.

In this invention, even after it becomes this state, it pressurizes further to the direction of the bottom part B of the hole part 3 and the container main body 1 to drink. At this time, the trunk | drum A and the shoulder C of the container main body 1 do not drop even if it pushes down further, since each wrinkle is closely piled up and piled up. Further, when the drinking hole portion 3 is pressed downward, the end side of the trumpet-shaped connecting portion D first presses the inside of the U-shaped groove E downward. As a result, this groove E is in a state where the edge of the outer upper end and the shoulder C are connected and fixed, so that the U-shape collapses and the inside of the trumpet-shaped connection part D is pressed downward. Presses downward and proceeds in an enlarged direction, and finally, as shown in FIG. 4, the container is pushed together with the drinking hole 3 in the container body 1.

This makes the height of the container main body 1 more compact than about 1/5 of the container main body 1 as compared with the above, and can reduce the volume thereof very much.

(2nd Example)

In the above embodiment, the connecting portion D between the drinking hole 3 and the container main body 1 is shaped like a trumpet, and when it is crushed, it is inverted to be inserted into the container main body 1.

However, the drinking hole 3 can be sufficiently reduced in height (that is, volume) without being pushed into the container body 1 that is excessively crushed. This will be described with reference to FIGS. 20 to 22, and the same parts as in the above embodiment are denoted by the reference numerals. The pleats of the container body 1 have the same shape as the wide Adamsky-type UFO, and thus the horizontal direction. It is divided into two minutes up and down. At this time in Figure 1 the height of the upper (hl) below (hl2) of the first stage is 6.5 mm: 5.5 mm, the second stage of the corrugation is 7 mm: 5 mm, the third stage of the corrugation is 8.5 mm: It was 6.5 mm.

More specifically, the cross-sectional shape of these wrinkles is shown in FIGS. 9 to 11. This is an example of the corrugation dimension of the fourth stage corrugation tube 8 to the 12 stage corrugation form, that is, the height (hx) and the lower (hy) height of the corrugation shown in Fig. 5, and the shapes are particularly common. .

That is, in the figure, reference numeral 20 denotes an upper surface that also includes an inner surface of a wide Adamsky-type UFO shape, and reference numeral 21 denotes a lower surface that also includes an inner surface of a wide Adamsky-type UFO shape. In this embodiment projecting in the outward direction, it is important that the shape of the lower surface 21 is 20 mmR, whereas the shape of the lower surface 21 is a straight shape 1l through the projecting arc 10 of 0.8 mmR. Is the point.

On the other hand, a cap 14 is placed on the container body 1 provided in the same commercially available.

Thus, the cap 14 is removed, and after the contents are finished, the drinking hole 3 is pushed down, and the shoulder C or the trunk A is compressed and contracted as shown in FIGS. 3 and 20. In this state, as shown in FIGS. 9-11, the wrinkle of the shoulder C is pressurized, and the cross section of the recessed part of the wrinkles in which the cross section of the recessed part 18 is located adjacent in a vertical relationship is compressed. In the state seen from the apex of the convex portion 17 of the wrinkle at this point in time, the concave portions 18 on both sides are pushed to the apex side of the convex portion 17 as shown in Figs. The upper surface 20 of the corrugation is larger than the pressure component on the steep side of the lower surface 21 because the compressive component on the lightly inclined side has less inclination with respect to the lower surface 21, so that the concave portion 18 on the steep side is convex. It is moved to the negative vertex side.

At this time, two large changes occur in the container main body 1. That is, firstly, the inner diameter of the convex portion 17 constituting the wall is increased by an enlarged pressure or the inner diameter of the concave portion 18 is reduced by a compression pressure. Second, the steep slope of the lower surface 21 constituting the wall is reduced. The surface is curved.

Subsequently, the steep inclined side passes immediately below the convex portion 17, and furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, it penetrates into the inclined side of the upper slope 20 to reduce the height of the container body 1 to a shortened state. When it moves, the force which restores the inner diameter of the convex part 17 and the inner diameter of the concave part 18 acts, or the lower surface 21 restores to the extension state what was bent by the said operation, and becomes a stable state. .

Therefore, it was possible to maintain this shortened state without applying compressive force at all times.

The concave portion 18 having a small inner diameter is subjected to compressive pressure to generate a pressure stress. The loss of the compression pressure acts to release the stress and restores the stretched state. When the cap 14 is tightened in a pressure state and atmospheric pressure is applied, the container main body 1 is kept in a shortened state, and in a case where compressive stress does not occur due to the difference in the inner diameter of the recessed portion l8, the shortened state is maintained. It is done.

This embodiment is a case where the diameter of the pleats of the shoulder (C) of the container body (1) as described above becomes a large diameter as a downward direction, as a result, each of the wrinkles crushed pressed up the outer circumference of the inner circumference It is superimposed on the inclined shape.

After pressing the semi-elliptic shape 4 of the upper surface and / or the shoulder of the drinking hole 3 thereafter, the pushing force is pushed to the outer periphery of each pleat as shown in FIGS. 9 to 11. As a result, as shown in Fig. 4, the wrinkles of the trunk portion A including the central portion and the lower portion are superimposed in an inclined shape in the opposite direction to the shoulder C, whose outer periphery becomes downward with respect to the inner periphery.

In the crushed container main body 1, the semi-elliptic shape 4 and the bay 9 which form the inclination part of the upper part of the shoulder C and the inclination part of the lower part of the wall of the trunk part A harmonize with the container main body. (1) is to be able to maintain the crushed state even if the cap 14 is not replaced again.

As a result, in the experiment in which the container main body 1 overlaps, the height (volume) becomes 1/3 to 1/4 or less, and even if this is left to a trash box or the like, the space can be made particularly small.

(Third Embodiment)

In the said embodiment, the external appearance shape of the container main body 1 was made cylindrical or close. However, as shown in FIG. 12, FIG. 13, when it was set as the vertical drum shape 22, it turned out to be easy to grasp. In addition, it was proved that stability can be obtained by using a conical trapezoidal shape or a pyramidal trapezoidal shape, and any of appropriate shapes can be selected as the apparent shape. Furthermore, as shown in Figs. 14, 15, and 16, the shape of the cross section is not limited to the circle 23, but it was also confirmed that a free shape such as an ellipse 24 or a square 25 can be selected.

(Example 4)

In the said Example, the shape of the corrugated tubular shape 2 formed in the container main body 1 was made into the annular corrugated form continuous in the horizontal up-down direction.

However, by making this formation into the continuous trumpet shape 26 as shown in FIG. 17, when crushing this, a force to apply the force to the pressing force in the up-down direction toward the top or the center of the container main body 1 is applied more easily. It can be distorted. The trumpet shape 26 may be several instead of one. Further, the trumpet shape 26 is not limited to continuous but may be an intermittent trumpet shape 26 as shown in FIG. 18 and a trumpet shape 26 close to a slightly inclined straight line as shown in FIG.

(Example 5)

In the container main body 1 of the said embodiment, although it is a corrugated tubular shape 2 over the whole height direction, as shown in FIG. 13, the middle part or the terminal part is made flat, and the display column 29 of a trademark or product content is shown here. I did.

The main effect of the present invention described above is that the volume of the container main body can be made very small when the container body is destroyed, and the number that can be accommodated in the trash can or the like is greatly increased.

Moreover, since the container main body reduced in this way can achieve the conveyance quantity in large quantities simultaneously, the collection cost and labor cost for the cleaning collection | recovery can be reduced very much.

Furthermore, the container body of the present invention has a beautiful appearance and causes a lot of interest to the user, and the shape of the pleats of the container body prevents friction, and the container body slips and falls during use, or the contents thereof. It is possible to prevent the risk of overflowing or overflowing.

Moreover, even if it is the container main body of the state distorted by this invention, since the shape is good to stand out for design, it can also be used as an external container as it is.
