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 one the recesses.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
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 opposing sides of the cylindrical body, a grip comprising a first cylindrical body portion between said recesses, and a second cylindrical body portion opposite to said grip, wherein only two axial reinforcing ribs are formed in the grip, each reinforcing rib being located adjacent a corresponding one of said recesses and depressed inwardly and concavely, and wherein a plurality of lateral reinforcing grooves are aligned at a predetermined interval on the second cylindrical body portion opposite to said grip.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
114 words
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 opposing sides of the cylindrical body, a grip comprising a first cylindrical body portion between said recesses, and a second cylindrical body portion opposite to said grip, wherein only two axial reinforcing ribs are formed in the grip, each reinforcing rib being located adjacent a corresponding one of said recesses and depressed inwardly and concavely, and wherein a plurality of lateral reinforcing grooves are aligned at a predetermined interval on the second cylindrical body portion opposite to said grip.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
128 words
A blow-molded, bottle-shaped container having a longitudinal axis formed of biaxially oriented synthetic resin, comprising: a neck section, a body section having a circumference defining a substantially circular perimeter of said container, said body section consisting of a first body portion and an adjacent second body portion, said first body portion defining a grip, a shoulder section tapering between said neck section and said body section, and a bottom section, said first body portion defining said grip having first and second opposed recesses indented from said circumference and being separated by a central grip portion, said central grip portion having first and second longitudinally extending axial reinforcing ribs substantially adjacent to said first and second recesses, respectively, said first and second reinforcing ribs extending inward from said circumference.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
128 words
A blow-molded, bottle-shaped container having a longitudinal axis formed of biaxially oriented synthetic resin, comprising: a neck section, a body section having a circumference defining a substantially circular perimeter of said container, said body section consisting of a first body portion and an adjacent second body portion, said first body portion defining a grip, a shoulder section tapering between said neck section and said body section, and a bottom section, said first body portion defining said grip having first and second opposed recesses indented from said circumference and being separated by a central grip portion, said central grip portion having first and second longitudinally extending axial reinforcing ribs substantially adjacent to said first and second recesses, respectively, said first and second reinforcing ribs extending inward from said circumference.
