Abstract

Abstract This invention provides a synthetic resin thin-walled bottle, a tubular intermediate therefor and a method of producing a thin-walled bottle. The thin-walled bottle has ribs at least at its bottom portion, and the bottle bottom is raised up frusto-conically or has an undulatory shape. The tubular intermediate is first formed with ribs which become thin-walled protuberant ribs after blow molding. The thin-walled bottle is produced by blow-molding the ribbed tubular intermediate.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 116 words
A biaxially oriented synthetic resin thin-walled container made by blow molding an intermediate, comprising: a top-open neck portion; a closed bottom portion; a hollow cylindrical barrel body portion interconnecting said neck portion and said bottom portion; the bottom portion having a plurality of hollow foot portions bulging downwardly of the bottle, lower ends of the foot portions defining ground contacting surfaces; a plurality of solid rigid ribs being provided at least on an internal surface of a bottom wall of the bottom portion, and extending radially along an internal surface of the foot portions, said rigid ribs being a result of a plurality of ridges provided on internal surfaces of said intermediate prior to biaxial orientation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 116 words
A biaxially oriented synthetic resin thin-walled container made by blow molding an intermediate, comprising: a top-open neck portion; a closed bottom portion; a hollow cylindrical barrel body portion interconnecting said neck portion and said bottom portion; the bottom portion having a plurality of hollow foot portions bulging downwardly of the bottle, lower ends of the foot portions defining ground contacting surfaces; a plurality of solid rigid ribs being provided at least on an internal surface of a bottom wall of the bottom portion, and extending radially along an internal surface of the foot portions, said rigid ribs being a result of a plurality of ridges provided on internal surfaces of said intermediate prior to biaxial orientation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 71 words
A container according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of projections and recessions, arranged alternatively in series and undulatory in sectional shape, extend from the center of the bottom wall to the outer periphery of the bottom wall, a difference in level between said projections and recessions gradually increasing as the distance from the center of the bottom wall increases, the foot portions being defined by a plurality of said projections.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 19 words
A container according to claim 2, wherein said rigid ribs are formed at bends of each recession and projection.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 98 words
A biaxially oriented synthetic resin thin-walled container made by blow molding an intermediate, comprising: a top-open neck portion; a closed bottom portion which is bulged hemispherically downward; a hollow cylindrical barrel body portion interconnecting said neck portion and said bottom portion; a plurality of solid rigid ribs being provided at least on an internal surface of a bottom wall of the bottom portion, and extending radially from the vicinity of the center of the bottom wall, said rigid ribs being the result of a plurality of ridges provided on internal surfaces of said intermediate prior to biaxial orientation.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 98 words
A biaxially oriented synthetic resin thin-walled container made by blow molding an intermediate, comprising: a top-open neck portion; a closed bottom portion which is bulged hemispherically downward; a hollow cylindrical barrel body portion interconnecting said neck portion and said bottom portion; a plurality of solid rigid ribs being provided at least on an internal surface of a bottom wall of the bottom portion, and extending radially from the vicinity of the center of the bottom wall, said rigid ribs being the result of a plurality of ridges provided on internal surfaces of said intermediate prior to biaxial orientation.
