Abstract

An invention including a bottle container of a pinch-grip type of synthetic resin blow-molded product and which includes a body of a bottle container, and a grip including a pair of right and left deep-recessed grip portions, formed by concaving both side wall portions of the body of the bottle container, a rear wall portion of the body disposed at a position rearward from the deep-recessed grip portions in a front-back direction, wherein each grip portion includes a caved in recessed wall, vertical side walls positioned facing each other across the wall, and lateral walls disposed at upper and lower ends of the wall, so that surrounding walls as a whole is formed by vertical walls and lateral walls that surround the recessed wall, and wherein the vertical side walls have an angle of gradient which is set at a right angle relative to a transverse center line extending horizontally.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A bottle container of a pinch-grip type, which is a synthetic resin blow-molded product and which comprises:
a body of a bottle container, and
a grip comprising:
a pair of right and left deep-recessed grip portions formed by concaving both side wall portions of the body of the bottle container toward each other, and
a rear wall portion of the body disposed at a position rearward from the deep-recessed grip portions in a front-back direction,

wherein each of the deep-recessed grip portions comprises:
a most recessed wall which is deeply caved in,
a pair of vertical side walls disposed on a front side and a back side both as viewed in the front-back direction, in positions facing each other across the most recessed wall, and
lateral walls disposed at upper and lower ends of the most recessed wall, so that a surrounding wall as a whole is formed by these vertical side walls and lateral walls that border the most recessed wall, and

wherein the pair of vertical side walls disposed on the front side and the back side both have an angle of gradient which is set at an approximately right angle relative to a transverse center line extending horizontally in the front-back direction, and passing through a central axis of the bottle container, as seen in a plane cross-section view of the grip portions,
wherein the two most recessed walls face each other across the transverse center line,
wherein a narrowest portion disposed between both of the two most recessed walls of the deep-recessed grip portions has a width more than 0 mm and not greater than an outer diameter of a neck base, as seen in a plane cross-section view of the grip portions, and
wherein the neck base is a portion where a length of its outer diameter is unchanged before and after a preform is biaxially stretched and molded, and disposed at a lower side of a neck portion of the bottle container.

2. The bottle container of the pinch-grip type according to claim 1 , wherein the rear wall portion has a semi-circular shape in a plane cross-sectional view of the rear wall portion.

3. The bottle container of the pinch-grip type according to claim 2 , wherein each of the most recessed walls has a roughened concave-convex wall surface where there are many small dents.

4. The bottle container of the pinch-grip type according to claim 1 , wherein each of the most recessed walls has a roughened concave-convex wall surface where there are many small dents.

5. The bottle container of the pinch-grip type according to claim 4 , wherein the roughened concave-convex wall surfaces are formed in all areas of the most recessed walls and all areas of the surrounding wall that border and surrounds each of the most recessed walls.
