Abstract

Abstract A blow-molded bottle-shaped container of biaxially oriented synthetic resin integrally molded with a neck at the top of a cylindrical body thereof, comprising a pair of recesses depressed inwardly on the cylindrical wall thereof at both sides of the cylindrical body and spaced so that one remaining container body surface of the container body forms a grip by the formation of said recesses. The blow-molded bottle-shaped container of biaxially oriented synthetic resin can enhance sufficiently the mechanical strength of the recesses formed on the container body by providing reinforcing ribs for effectively dispersing internal pressure acting on the recesses.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 182 words
A blow-molded bottle-shaped container of biaxially oriented synthetic resin integrally molded with a neck at the top of a multi-sided shaped body, comprising: a pair of recesses depressed inwardly on opposing wall portions of the body, each of said recesses being surrounded by tapered walls inwardly inclined toward a center of each recess; a grip comprising a first multi-sided shaped boy portion between said recesses, said first multi-sided shaped body portion including two inclined rear side surfaces; a second multi-sided shaped body portion opposite to said grip and including two inclined front side surfaces each front side surface generally diagonally opposed to one of said inclined rear side surfaces; wherein at least one of said two rear side surfaces of said grip is an inclined surface defining an angle maximized at 90° with respect to a vertical diagonal plane defined through the at least one rear side surface and the diagonally opposite front side surface of said bottle-shaped container, a plurality of lateral reinforcing rib grooves being formed in a rear wall of said grip between said two inclined rear side surfaces.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 182 words
A blow-molded bottle-shaped container of biaxially oriented synthetic resin integrally molded with a neck at the top of a multi-sided shaped body, comprising: a pair of recesses depressed inwardly on opposing wall portions of the body, each of said recesses being surrounded by tapered walls inwardly inclined toward a center of each recess; a grip comprising a first multi-sided shaped boy portion between said recesses, said first multi-sided shaped body portion including two inclined rear side surfaces; a second multi-sided shaped body portion opposite to said grip and including two inclined front side surfaces each front side surface generally diagonally opposed to one of said inclined rear side surfaces; wherein at least one of said two rear side surfaces of said grip is an inclined surface defining an angle maximized at 90° with respect to a vertical diagonal plane defined through the at least one rear side surface and the diagonally opposite front side surface of said bottle-shaped container, a plurality of lateral reinforcing rib grooves being formed in a rear wall of said grip between said two inclined rear side surfaces.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 199 words
A blow-molded bottle-shaped container of biaxially oriented synthetic resin integrally molded with a neck at the top of a multi-sided shaped body, comprising: a pair of recesses depressed inwardly on opposing wall portions of the body, each of said recesses being surrounded by tapered walls inwardly inclined toward a center of each recess; a grip positioned between said recesses, said grip comprising a first multi-sided shaped body portion between said recesses, said first multi-sided shaped body portion including a first inclined rear side surface and a second inclined rear side surface which each define a rear corner; a second multi-sided shaped body portion opposite to said grip and including two inclined front side surfaces which each define a front corner; wherein said first inclined rear side surface defines a maximum value of a right angle with respect to a vertical diagonal plane defined through diagonally opposite front and rear corners of said bottle-shaped container, and mold parting lines of said container are formed on said diagonally opposite corners in said vertical diagonal plane, a plurality of lateral reinforcing rib grooves being formed only in a rear wall of said grip between said first and second inclined rear side surfaces.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 199 words
A blow-molded bottle-shaped container of biaxially oriented synthetic resin integrally molded with a neck at the top of a multi-sided shaped body, comprising: a pair of recesses depressed inwardly on opposing wall portions of the body, each of said recesses being surrounded by tapered walls inwardly inclined toward a center of each recess; a grip positioned between said recesses, said grip comprising a first multi-sided shaped body portion between said recesses, said first multi-sided shaped body portion including a first inclined rear side surface and a second inclined rear side surface which each define a rear corner; a second multi-sided shaped body portion opposite to said grip and including two inclined front side surfaces which each define a front corner; wherein said first inclined rear side surface defines a maximum value of a right angle with respect to a vertical diagonal plane defined through diagonally opposite front and rear corners of said bottle-shaped container, and mold parting lines of said container are formed on said diagonally opposite corners in said vertical diagonal plane, a plurality of lateral reinforcing rib grooves being formed only in a rear wall of said grip between said first and second inclined rear side surfaces.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 165 words
A blow-molded bottle-shaped container of biaxially oriented synthetic resin integrally molded with a neck at the top of a multi-sided shaped body, comprising: a pair of recesses depressed inwardly on opposing wall portions of the body, each of said recesses being surrounded by tapered walls inwardly inclined toward a center of each recess; a grip positioned between said recesses, said grip comprising a first multi-sided shaped body portion including two inclined rear side surfaces which define two rear corners; a second multi-sided shaped body portion opposite to said grip and including two inclined front side surfaces which define two front corners; wherein at least one of said two rear side surfaces of said grip is an inclined surface defining a maximum value of a right angle with respect to a vertical diagonal plane defined through diagonally opposite corners of said bottle-shaped container, a plurality of lateral reinforcing rib grooves being formed in a rear wall of said grip between said two inclined rear side surfaces.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 165 words
A blow-molded bottle-shaped container of biaxially oriented synthetic resin integrally molded with a neck at the top of a multi-sided shaped body, comprising: a pair of recesses depressed inwardly on opposing wall portions of the body, each of said recesses being surrounded by tapered walls inwardly inclined toward a center of each recess; a grip positioned between said recesses, said grip comprising a first multi-sided shaped body portion including two inclined rear side surfaces which define two rear corners; a second multi-sided shaped body portion opposite to said grip and including two inclined front side surfaces which define two front corners; wherein at least one of said two rear side surfaces of said grip is an inclined surface defining a maximum value of a right angle with respect to a vertical diagonal plane defined through diagonally opposite corners of said bottle-shaped container, a plurality of lateral reinforcing rib grooves being formed in a rear wall of said grip between said two inclined rear side surfaces.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 25 words
The blow-molded bottle-shaped container according to claim 3, wherein upper and lower portions of a rear portion of the body project externally from said grip.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 26 words
The blow-molded bottle-shaped container according to claim 3, wherein mold parting lines of said container are formed on diagonally opposite edge lines of said bottle-shaped container.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 31 words
The blow-molded bottle-shaped container according to claim 3, wherein said reinforcing rib grooves comprise inclined surfaces having a maximum value of a right angle with respect to said vertical diagonal plane.
