Abstract

A synthetic resin bottle prevents a trunk from undergoing unsightly deformation in response to reduced pressure inside the bottle and also increases flexibility in terms of container design and secures a label attachment area sufficiently. A synthetic resin bottle includes a mouth, a trunk, and a bottom, with a reduced pressure absorbing region configured to be displaced toward the inside of the bottle in response to reduced pressure inside the bottle. The trunk includes a cylindrical-shaped straight region, which has a length of not less than 100 mm in an axis direction extending along a center axis of the trunk and in which no irregularities are provided. The straight region has a weight of not less than 11 times a weight of the reduced pressure absorbing region.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A synthetic resin bottle comprising:
a mouth through which a content medium is dispensed;
a trunk contiguous with and below the mouth, the trunk including a cylindrical-shaped straight region having a length of not less than 100 mm in an axial direction extending along a center axis of the trunk and in which no irregularities are provided; and
a bottom contiguous with and below the trunk, the bottom being provided with a reduced pressure absorbing region configured to be displaced toward an inside of the bottle in response to reduced pressure inside the bottle, wherein:
the cylindrical-shaped straight region has a weight of not less than 11 times a weight of the reduced pressure absorbing region,
the trunk includes (i) an upper region located above the cylindrical-shaped straight region and extending to the mouth, (ii) an annular-shaped stepped portion formed between the cylindrical-shaped straight region and the upper region, the upper region continuously reducing in diameter from the annular-shaped stepped portion to the mouth, and (iii) a lower region located below the cylindrical-shaped straight region and extending to the bottom, and
a first annular-shaped groove is formed between the cylindrical-shaped straight region and the lower region.

2. The synthetic resin bottle of claim 1 , wherein the weight of the straight region is not less than 12 times and not more than 15 times the weight of the reduced pressure absorbing region.

3. The synthetic resin bottle of claim 1 , further comprising a content medium container space configured to contain the content medium, the content medium container space having a capacity of not less than 500 ml and not more than 800 ml.
