Abstract

A delamination container formed by blow molding a preform assembly includes: an outer layer body including a tubular outer mouth portion and a bottomed tubular barrel portion; an inner layer body including a tubular inner mouth portion fixed to an inner side of the outer mouth portion, and a containing portion separably laminated on an inner surface of the barrel portion and capable of volume-reduction deformation; an outside air introduction port; and a plurality of protrusions integrally provided in an upper end part of the barrel portion at intervals in a circumferential direction centering on an axial center of the outer mouth portion, the plurality of protrusions each projecting from an outer surface of the barrel portion and being recessed with respect to the inner surface of the barrel portion.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A delamination container made of a synthetic resin and formed by blow molding a preform assembly in which an inner preform is incorporated inside an outer preform, the delamination container comprising:
an outer layer body including a tubular outer mouth portion and a bottomed tubular barrel portion connected to the outer mouth portion;
an inner layer body including a tubular inner mouth portion fixed to an inner side of the outer mouth portion, and a containing portion separably laminated on an inner surface of the barrel portion and capable of volume-reduction deformation;
an outside air introduction port for introducing outside air between the outer layer body and the inner layer body; and
a plurality of protrusions integrally provided in an upper end part of the barrel portion at intervals in a circumferential direction centering on an axial center of the outer mouth portion, the plurality of protrusions each projecting from an outer surface of the barrel portion and being recessed with respect to the inner surface of the barrel portion.

2. The delamination container according to claim 1 , wherein the barrel portion includes: a shoulder portion integrally connected to a lower end of the outer mouth portion; a tubular barrel body portion integrally connected to a lower end of the shoulder portion; and a bottom portion integrally connected to a lower end of the barrel body portion and closing the lower end of the barrel body portion, and
the plurality of protrusions are connected to an upper end of the shoulder portion.

3. The delamination container according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of protrusions each include: an upper wall portion extending toward a radial outside of the outer mouth portion from the upper end of the shoulder portion; and a vertical wall portion extending downward from a radial outer end of the upper wall portion.

4. The delamination container according to claim 1 , wherein the outside air introduction port is a through hole passing through the outer mouth portion in a radial direction, and
a position of the outside air introduction port in the circumferential direction centering on the axial center of the outer mouth portion matches a position of the protrusion in the circumferential direction centering on the axial center of the outer mouth portion.

5. The delamination container according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of protrusions are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction centering on the axial center of the outer mouth portion.

6. The delamination container according to claim 5 , wherein the plurality of protrusions are three or four protrusions arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction centering on the axial center of the outer mouth portion.

7. The delamination container according to claim 1 , wherein the outer layer body and the inner layer body are each made of polyethylene terephthalate resin.
