The specific embodiment

Fig. 1 to Fig. 6 represents an example of the present invention, Fig. 1 is the overall perspective view of liquid container, Fig. 2 is its front view, Fig. 3 is that the master of the main portion of expression state that neck is pulled out upward looks cutaway view, Fig. 4 is that the master of the main portion of expression state that neck is pushed downwards looks cutaway view, Fig. 5 is that the master of the main portion of state after expression is tilted neck looks cutaway view, and Fig. 6 is the lateral plan that the expression beverage is poured out state.

This liquid container has the vessel 1 that can accommodate beverage, the neck 2 that extends from the upper lateral top of vessel 1, the movable part 3 that is located at the above-below direction assigned position of neck 2, and vessel 1, neck 2 and movable part 3 are configured as one by known blow molding.

Vessel 1 has lateral cross section and is the roughly hollow shape of vertical length of cubic shape, the capacity that forms and stipulate (for example 1 liter, 1.5 liters, 2 liters etc.) cooresponding size.

Neck 2 comprise the below that is formed on movable part 3 the 1st neck 2a, be formed on the 2nd neck 2b of the top of movable part 3, in the upper end of the 2nd neck 2b pouring spout 2c is set.The 1st neck 2a forms lateral cross section and is roughly cubic shape, and extend obliquely upward with near each other from the upper end side of vessel 1 its each side.In addition, it is rounded that the upper end 2d of the 1st neck 2a forms lateral cross section, forms diameter simultaneously and become big obliquely upward.It is rounded that the 2nd neck 2b forms lateral cross section, and the diameter of the above-below direction substantial middle portion of its side face is big, and the diameter of upper end side and lower end side is little.In addition, pass through the chimeric lid 4 that hat is installed of screw thread in the upper end of the 2nd neck 2b, utilization is covered 4 couples of pouring spout 3c and is opened and closed.

Movable part 3 is configured between the 1st neck 2a and the 2nd neck 2b, and the 2nd neck 2b may be deformed to horizontal inclination.Movable part 3 forms flange shape to the circle of radially extending of neck 2, disposes the 2nd neck 2b at its radially inner side.That is, movable part 3 extends to radial outside from the upper end 2d of lower end side to the 1 neck 2a of the 2nd neck 2b, the direction distortion up and down of flange shape part.In this occasion, the flange shape part of movable part 3 can keep forming state that is out of shape upward and the state that is out of shape respectively downwards shown in Fig. 2 (b) shown in Fig. 2 (a).

That is, as Fig. 2 (a) and shown in Figure 3, when the 2nd neck 2b was pulled out upward, movable part 3 was deformed into and is convex upward, and neck 2 is held in the state of direction elongation up and down.In addition, as Fig. 2 (b) and shown in Figure 4, when the 2nd neck 2b was pushed downwards, movable part 3 was deformed into and is convex downwards, and neck 2 is held in the state of direction contraction up and down.In addition, as Fig. 2 (c) and shown in Figure 5, when with the 2nd neck 2b during to horizontal inclination, the Width one distolateral (direction of tilt of the 2nd neck 2b) of movable part 3 is deformed into and is convex downwards, the Width another distolateral (opposition side of the direction of tilt of the 2nd neck 2b) of movable part 3 is deformed into and is convex upward simultaneously, and the 2nd neck 2b is held in the bevelled state.In this occasion, the 2nd neck 2b can tilt to any direction radially of movable part 3.

The liquid container of above-mentioned formation, for example can accommodate the beverage of tea, fruit juice, drinks etc., as shown in Figure 6, when beverage 6 is injected glass 5, by so that the 2nd neck 2b is tilted vessel 1 to glass 5 side bevelled states, thereby can be easily discharge beverages 6, can reduce beverage 6 and overflow or around glass 5, disperse from glass 5 to glass 5.

So, adopt liquid container of the present invention, be used to have and the 2nd neck 2b can be deformed into to horizontal bevelled movable part 3, so by so that the 2nd neck 2b is poured out beverage 6 to glass 5 side bevelled states, thereby can easily beverage 6 be injected into glass 5, can successfully carry out beverage and pour out operation.In addition because the 2nd neck 2b is tilted, so beyond when beverage is poured out, can not make the 2nd neck 2b inclination, and with pouring spout 2c towards directly over.Thus, identical in the fabrication shop of for example beverage with general liquid container, can from directly over inject beverage, have the advantage that can utilize existing factory equipment.In addition, as the occasion of commodity display in store, by with the 2nd neck 2b towards directly over, thereby can display neatly in the same manner with general liquid container, also have the advantage that the aesthetic appearance that do not make StoreFront descends.

In addition, owing to above-mentioned movable part 3 is formed from the lower end side of the 2nd neck 2b that is positioned at its top flange shape to what radially extend, the direction distortion up and down of flange shape part is so can make the radially any direction inclination of the 2nd neck 2b to movable part 3.Thus, needn't change the posture of hand-held container body 1, can carry out beverage easily and pour out operation for the direction of tilt of corresponding the 2nd neck 2b.In this occasion, because that movable part 3 is extended to the below of pouring spout 2c is flange shape, so can stop from pouring spout 2c along the beverage that the bottle outside face flows down to have and do not make the beverage flow that flows down fall advantage on the vessel 1 by movable part 3.

In addition, under the state that is pushed into the below from the 2nd neck 2b during lateral inclination, the part of the flange shape part of movable part 3 (opposition side of direction of tilt) is out of shape upward, the corresponding relative position step-down that makes internal beverage 6 with respect to the liquid level 6a of pouring spout 2c, even so more occasion of amount of internal beverage 6, when vessel 1 is tilted, beverage 6 can be effectively do not discharged yet, and beverage 6 can be injected easily.

Owing to movable part 3 formed to be held in state that flange shape part is out of shape upward and the state that is out of shape respectively downwards, so can reliably the 2nd neck 2b be held in the bevelled state.

In addition, because vessel 1, neck 2 and movable part 3 are configured as one,, be very favorable when practicability so for example can utilize blow molding, make with the manufacture method identical with general liquid container.

In above-mentioned example, represented movable part 3 is formed flange shape structure, but also can for example the part of neck 2 have been formed the movable part of other shapes such as accordion-like.In addition, in above-mentioned example, the lateral cross section of having represented vessel 1 is the structure of cubic shape roughly, but lateral cross section is also circular.In addition, the invention is not restricted to the container that the such beverage sales of petcock bottle is used, also applicable to the container of other purposes such as for example home-use drinking container and kettle.In addition, the present invention is applicable to the container of the fluid storage that the liquid beyond the beverage, for example flavoring, oil, the industrial liquor of washer solvent class etc. are various.In this occasion, for example in the occasion of as flavoring etc., wanting liquid is poured out on a small quantity, as shown in Figure 7, when liquid 8 is injected container 7, if make the 2nd neck 2b tilt and pour out to the opposition side of container 7, even then vessel 1 inclination liquid 6 can not discharged in a large number yet quickly, can pour out liquid 8 reliably on a small quantity.

Fig. 8 to Figure 10 represents another example of the present invention, and Fig. 8 is the birds-eye view of liquid container, and Fig. 9 is the front view of its main portion, and Figure 10 is that the master of its main portion looks cutaway view.For the structure division identical, put on identical symbolic representation with aforementioned example.
