Abstract

A square bottle that includes a mouth portion, a shoulder portion, a body portion, and a bottom portion provided to be continuous in this order from the top to the bottom in a bottle axis direction, wherein in the body portion a plurality of panel surface portions are provided to be continuous with each other with corner portions therebetween in a circumferential direction around a bottle axis and in the body portion a first peripheral groove straddling at least the corner portions in the circumferential direction is formed, and a ridge portion straddling the corner portions in the circumferential direction is formed on an inner surface defining the first peripheral groove.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A polygon bottle comprising a mouth portion, a shoulder portion, a body portion, and a bottom portion provided to be continuous in this order from a top to a bottom in a bottle axis direction, wherein
in the body portion, a plurality of panel surface portions are provided to be continuous with each other with corner portions therebetween in a circumferential direction around a bottle axis,
in the body portion, a first peripheral groove straddling at least the corner portions in the circumferential direction is formed,
the body portion has a polygon shape in a cross-sectional view perpendicular to the bottle axis,
a ridge straddling the corner portions in the circumferential direction is formed on an inner surface defining the first peripheral groove,
in a side view, the ridge is surrounded by the inner surface defining the first peripheral groove over an entire circumference of an outer peripheral edge of the ridge,
an outer end of the ridge in a radial direction intersecting the bottle axis direction is positioned inward from outer peripheral surfaces of the plurality of the panel surface portions in the radial direction,
the inner surface defining the first peripheral groove includes a peripheral end surface positioned at an outer end portion in the circumferential direction and facing inward in the circumferential direction,
the peripheral end surface is inclined to gradually approach an inside in the circumferential direction of the first peripheral groove from an outer end edge in the circumferential direction of the first peripheral groove as the peripheral end surface approaches an inside from an outside in the radial direction,
an end portion in the circumferential direction of the ridge is connected to the peripheral end surface, and
the outer end edge in the circumferential direction of the first peripheral groove gradually extends toward the outside in the radial direction as the outer end edge goes downward.

2. The polygon bottle according to claim 1 , wherein
a second peripheral groove straddling at least the corner portions in the circumferential direction is formed in the body portion, and
the first peripheral groove is formed on an inner surface defining the second peripheral groove.

3. The polygon bottle according to claim 1 , wherein
the body portion has a rectangular shape in the cross-sectional view perpendicular to the bottle axis, and
in the body portion, the panel surface portion on a long side and the panel surface portion on a short side are provided to be continuous with each other via the corner portion.

4. The polygon bottle according to claim 3 , wherein
the ridge is disposed to integrally straddle the panel surface portion on the short side and the corner portions which are continuous with both end portions in the circumferential direction of the panel surface portion on the short side in the circumferential direction, and
the ridge is disposed to avoid a central portion in the circumferential direction of the panel surface portion on the long side.

5. The polygon bottle according to claim 2 , wherein
the body portion has a rectangular shape in the cross-sectional view perpendicular to the bottle axis, and
in the body portion, the panel surface portion on a long side and the panel surface portion on a short side are provided to be continuous with each other via the corner portion.

6. The polygon bottle according to claim 5 , wherein
the ridge is disposed to integrally straddle the panel surface portion on the short side and the corner portions which are continuous with both end portions in the circumferential direction of the panel surface portion on the short side in the circumferential direction, and
the ridge is disposed to avoid a central portion in the circumferential direction of the panel surface portion on the long side.
