- a resin-made bottle according to the present invention comprises a plurality of depressions each having a surface area of 1-100 mm 2 provided in a predetermined pattern in at least a partial region thereof, wherein a surface of each depression is embossed.
- Each depression has a rhombus shape, and the respective depressions are arranged in a hexagonal lattice pattern.
- the bottle shape deformation due to inner pressure build-up can be effectively suppressed by the plurality of depressions.
- aesthetic effect can be provided also by a predetermined pattern as described.
- the embossed surface of each depression By embossing the surface of each depression, the bottle shape deformation due to inner pressure build-up can be even more effectively suppressed. Further, the embossed surface makes each depression appear more conspicuous, thus improving visibility, so the aesthetic effect due to the depression can be further enhanced. It is necessary to press resin firmly against a mold at time of blow molding in order to form such embossed surface. With this embodiment, the embossed surface can be formed in a favorable manner because the resin is caused to follow a protruding portion of the mold and pressed hard against the protruding portion of the mold during forming of the embossed surface in the depression.

- the capacity of the resin-made bottle 1 is about 1.5 liters in this particular embodiment. However, the capacity is not particularly limited, but may range from 200 milliliters to 2 liters approximately as often used commercially.
- the liquid to be charged in the resin-made bottle 1 is not particularly limited. The liquid can be, aside from a carbonated drink, a beverage such as drinking water, tea, juice, coffee, chocolate, soft drink, alcoholic (hard) drink, milk-based drink, and soup, or a liquid seasoning such as sauce and soy sauce, etc.

- the band-like region 7 corresponds to the region extending to the lower side portion of the body portion 4, more particularly extending from the vicinity of the center of the body portion 4 to the border between the body portion 4 and the bottom portion 5. Therefore, the body portion 4 is provided with the depressions 8 throughout, except for a rib region 9 to be described later.
- each depression 8 has a rhombus shape having diagonal dimensions of 4 mm (vertical) ⁇ 2 mm (horizontal) and having a depth of 0.5 mm. Furthermore, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 , the respective depressions 8 are spaced apart from each other and arranged in a regular hexagonal lattice pattern.
- each depression 8 has the rhombus shape, and the respective depressions 8 are arranged in the hexagonal lattice pattern, a large number of such depressions 8 are densely provided in the band-like regions 6, 7, thereby to further enhance the deformation suppressing effect.

Furthermore, in the juxtaposing direction (in this embodiment, the height direction) of the discontinuous rib 10, discontinuous portions 12 between the recesses 11 in the discontinuous rib 10 are formed in such a manner not to be overlapped with the discontinuous portions 12 in the adjacent discontinuous rib 10.
- an arrangement is provided such that a center position of the respective recess 11 in the discontinuous rib 10 is aligned with a center position of the corresponding discontinuous portion 12 of the adjacent discontinuous rib 10.
- the recesses 11 and the discontinuous portions 12 alternate each other in the adjacent discontinuous ribs 10.
- the presence of the discontinuous portion 12 between the recesses 11 allows effective suppression of elongation of the rib 10 in the extending direction, so that the deformation of the bottle shape due to inner pressure build-up can be suppressed even more effectively.
- the recess 11 and the discontinuous portion 12 were overlapped with each other in the juxtaposing direction, the recess 11 would act like a spring, thus inviting risk of bottle strength deterioration.

JP 2013 184722 A -
US 2005/247664 A1 relates to inverting vacuum panels formed in a plastic container. The vacuum panels have, at least in part, a convex shaped surface and a series of equidistantly spaced indents disposed therein. -
JP 2010 285169 A - In recent years, an advantageous aesthetic design effect is sought for by providing an ornamentation in the bottle per se. However, due to deformation of the bottle shape resulting from inner pressure build-up, such aesthetic effect by ornamentation may sometimes be lost.
- Thus, it is desired to realize a resin-made bottle capable of suppressing bottle shape deformation while providing intended aesthetic effect.
- The invention is defined by
independent claim 1. Further embodiments of the invention are defined by the dependent claims. - A resin-made bottle according to the present invention comprises a plurality of depressions each having a surface area of 1-100 mm2 provided in a predetermined pattern in at least a partial region thereof, wherein a surface of each depression is embossed. Each depression has a rhombus shape, and the respective depressions are arranged in a hexagonal lattice pattern.
- With this arrangement, the bottle shape deformation due to inner pressure build-up can be effectively suppressed by the plurality of depressions. In addition, aesthetic effect can be provided also by a predetermined pattern as described.
- Some preferred embodiments of the resin-made bottle according to the invention will be explained hereinafter. It is understood however that the scope of the invention is not to be limited by the preferred embodiments described below.
- By embossing the surface of each depression, the bottle shape deformation due to inner pressure build-up can be even more effectively suppressed. Further, the embossed surface makes each depression appear more conspicuous, thus improving visibility, so the aesthetic effect due to the depression can be further enhanced. It is necessary to press resin firmly against a mold at time of blow molding in order to form such embossed surface. With this embodiment, the embossed surface can be formed in a favorable manner because the resin is caused to follow a protruding portion of the mold and pressed hard against the protruding portion of the mold during forming of the embossed surface in the depression.
- According to the invention, each depression has a rhombus shape.
- With the above arrangement, each depression is provided with a highly symmetrical shape, so that the bottle shape deformation due to the inner pressure build-up can be even more effectively suppressed. Moreover, the aesthetic effect can be even more enhanced as well.
- According to one preferred embodiment, the depressions are formed throughout in one or more band-like regions that occupy a predetermined area of the whole bottle.
- With formation of the depressions throughout a band-like region(s), the bottle shape deformation due to the inner pressure build-up can be even more effectively suppressed.
- According to one preferred embodiment, a rib region having a plurality of ribs juxtaposed with each other is formed in a predetermined region in a height direction of the bottle where no depressions are provided.
- With the plurality of depressions, the bottle shape deformation due to the inner pressure build-up can be suppressed. Notwithstanding, the depressions will bulge out in the event of exceeding an allowable range, thus impairing the aesthetic appearance. Then, according to the above-described arrangement, instead of merely providing the depressions all over the bottle, a rib region is provided. With this, in the event of inner pressure build-up, deformation occurs firstly in the rib region, prior to the depressions. Thus, bulging of the depressions can be suppressed and the bottle shape deformation due to the inner pressure build-up can be even more effectively suppressed.
- According to one preferred embodiment, the rib region is formed in a region in the height direction where a label is provided.
- With the above-described arrangement, since the rib region inferior in the aesthetic effect is concealed by the label, it is possible to maintain the aesthetic effect while suppressing the bottle shape deformation due to the inner pressure build-up.
- According to one preferred embodiment, each rib in the rib region is a discontinuous rib with a plurality of recesses each having a predetermined length being included therein and spaced apart from each other and provided continuously in the extending direction of the rib.
- With the above-described arrangement, since each rib is formed of discontinuous rib, it is possible to effectively suppress elongation of the rib in the extending direction with discontinuous portions present between the recesses. Thus, the bottle shape deformation due to the inner pressure build-up can be suppressed even more effectively.
- According to one preferred embodiment, the rib region is formed such that in a juxtaposing direction of the discontinuous rib, discontinuous portions between the recesses in the discontinuous rib are formed not to be overlapped with the discontinuous portions of any discontinuous rib adjacent thereto.
- If the recess and the discontinuous portion were overlapped in the juxtaposing direction, the recess would act like a spring, thus providing risk of bottle strength reduction. On the other hand, with the above-described arrangement, since the discontinuous portions are provided not to be overlapped with each other in the adjacent discontinuous ribs, it is possible to effectively suppress occurrence of the problem due to overlapping of the recess and the discontinuous portion in the juxtaposing direction.
- According to one preferred embodiment, in the rib region, the rib is formed to extend in a circumferential direction.
- With the above-described arrangement, by causing the rib to extend in the circumferential direction, it is possible to effectively suppress expansion of the bottle in the radial direction.
- According to one preferred embodiment, the resin-made bottle is for carbonated drink.
- With the above-described arrangement, even for a bottle for carbonated drink tending to be subject to inner pressure build-up, the bottle shape deformation due to the inner pressure build-up can be suppressed even more effectively.

Fig. 5 is an enlarged view of depressions in the embodiment ofFig.4 . - Embodiments of a resin-made bottle relating to the invention will be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings. A resin-made
bottle 1 relating to this embodiment, as shown inFig. 1 , includes amouth portion 2 as a liquid spout, ashoulder portion 3 continuous with themouth portion 2 and having a progressively increasing diameter toward a bottom face direction, acylindrical body portion 4 continuous with theshoulder portion 3 and abottom portion 5 forming the bottom of the resin-madebottle 1. The resin-madebottle 1 relating to this embodiment is made for a carbonated drink; and in order to suppress buckling phenomenon due to inner pressure build-up, thebottom portion 5 is provided with a so-called petaloid shape. Moreover, the resin-madebottle 1 relating to this embodiment implements an arrangement capable of effectively suppressing deformation of the bottle shape while providing advantageous aesthetic effect. The resin-madebottle 1 relating to this embodiment will be explained in details hereinafter. - Firstly, the resin-made
bottle 1 relating to this embodiment can be integrally molded by a stretch molding technique such as a biaxial stretch blow molding technique with using a thermosetting resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, etc. as its main material. The capacity of the resin-madebottle 1 is about 1.5 liters in this particular embodiment. However, the capacity is not particularly limited, but may range from 200 milliliters to 2 liters approximately as often used commercially. Further, the liquid to be charged in the resin-madebottle 1 is not particularly limited. The liquid can be, aside from a carbonated drink, a beverage such as drinking water, tea, juice, coffee, chocolate, soft drink, alcoholic (hard) drink, milk-based drink, and soup, or a liquid seasoning such as sauce and soy sauce, etc. - As shown in
Fig. 1 , in the resin-madebottle 1 relating to the instant embodiment, in at least a partial region, more particularly, in throughout a plurality of (two) circumferential band-like regions depressions 8 are provided. The band-like region 6 corresponds to the region extending from the lower side portion of theshoulder portion 3 to the upper side portion of thebody portion 4. The band-like region 7 corresponds to the region extending to the lower side portion of thebody portion 4, more particularly extending from the vicinity of the center of thebody portion 4 to the border between thebody portion 4 and thebottom portion 5. Therefore, thebody portion 4 is provided with thedepressions 8 throughout, except for arib region 9 to be described later. Further, eachdepression 8 has a rhombus shape having diagonal dimensions of 4 mm (vertical) × 2 mm (horizontal) and having a depth of 0.5 mm. Furthermore, as shown inFigs. 1 and2 , therespective depressions 8 are spaced apart from each other and arranged in a regular hexagonal lattice pattern. - With
such depressions 8 described above, it is possible to effectively suppress deformation of the bottle shape due to inner pressure build-up. Moreover, as eachdepression 8 has the rhombus shape, and therespective depressions 8 are arranged in the hexagonal lattice pattern, a large number ofsuch depressions 8 are densely provided in the band-like regions - Further, the dimensional arrangement of each
depression 8 defined by the diagonal sizes of 4 mm (vertical) × 2 mm (horizontal) approximately serves to secure large curvature at the border portions of thedepressions 8. This further enhances the deformation suppressing effect. Incidentally, preferably, the dimensions of eachdepression 8 can be diagonal lengths respectively ranging from 1 to 10 mm. and the area is from 1 to 100 mm2. Namely, if the area is equal to or smaller than 100 mm2, the curvature at the border portion of thedepression 8 is large, so that the deformation suppressing effect can be enhanced. On the other hand, with an area below 1 mm2, accurate forming of thedepression 8 would be difficult with molding techniques such as blow molding. Also, its depth is not limited to 0.5 mm, but can range from 0.2 to 3 mm. - Further, in the surface of each
depression 8, an embossed surface (fine unevenness pattern) is formed. This embossed surface can be formed by pressing an amount of resin against a mold at time of blow molding, the mold being provided with corresponding embossed surfaces at protruding portions corresponding to thedepression 8. As the embossed surfaces are formed by pressing resin hard against protruding portions of the mold, the embossed surfaces can be formed favorably. With formation of such embossed surfaces, the deformation of the bottle due to inner pressure build-up can be suppressed even more effectively. Also, the embossed surfaces causes thedepression 8 to appear more conspicuous, thus providing improvement in the aesthetic effect, so that the aesthetic effect due to thedepressions 8 can be enhanced as well. - Moreover, in the resin-made
bottle 1 relating to the instant embodiment, in a predetermined region in the height direction having no depressions 8 (specifically, a height-wise region where a label is to be provided), there is provided a "rib region" 9 having a plurality ofribs 10 extending in the circumferential direction and juxtaposed with each other. The plurality ofdepressions 8 allow effective suppression of bottle shape deformation due to inner pressure build-up as described above. However, in the event of excess of an allowable range, eachdepression 8 will bulge, thus impairing the advantageous aesthetic effect. Then, by providing therib region 9, thisrib region 9 will be deformed prior to eachdepression 8 with inner pressure build-up, and such bulging phenomenon of eachdepression 8 can be suppressed. Further, as theribs 10 extend in the circumferential direction, bulging of the resin-made bottle in the radial direction due to inner pressure build-up can be effectively suppressed. - The
respective ribs 10 in therib region 9 are discontinuous ribs with a plurality ofrecesses 11 each having a predetermined length being interposed to space the rib (portions) 10 from each other, therecesses 11 being provided continuously in the extending direction (in this embodiment, the circumferential direction) of theribs 10. Furthermore, in the juxtaposing direction (in this embodiment, the height direction) of thediscontinuous rib 10,discontinuous portions 12 between therecesses 11 in thediscontinuous rib 10 are formed in such a manner not to be overlapped with thediscontinuous portions 12 in the adjacentdiscontinuous rib 10. More particularly, an arrangement is provided such that a center position of therespective recess 11 in thediscontinuous rib 10 is aligned with a center position of the correspondingdiscontinuous portion 12 of the adjacentdiscontinuous rib 10. Thus, therecesses 11 and thediscontinuous portions 12 alternate each other in the adjacentdiscontinuous ribs 10. As eachrib 10 is formed as such discontinuous rib, the presence of thediscontinuous portion 12 between therecesses 11 allows effective suppression of elongation of therib 10 in the extending direction, so that the deformation of the bottle shape due to inner pressure build-up can be suppressed even more effectively. On the other hand, if therecess 11 and thediscontinuous portion 12 were overlapped with each other in the juxtaposing direction, therecess 11 would act like a spring, thus inviting risk of bottle strength deterioration. However, in the above arrangement, as thediscontinuous portions 12 are provided not to be overlapped with each other in the juxtaposing direction in the adjacentdiscontinuous ribs 10, the problem resulting from overlapping of therecess 11 and thediscontinuous portion 12 in the juxtaposing direction can be suppressed effectively. - Further, in the resin-made
bottle 1 of this embodiment, therib region 9 is formed in the height-wise region where a label is to be provided. With this, since therib region 9 poor in the aesthetic effect is concealed by the label, it is possible to maintain the advantageous aesthetic effect while suppressing the bottle shape deformation due to the inner pressure build-up. - As described above, with the resin-made
bottle 1 of the instant embodiment, due to the provision of thedepressions 8 of a predetermined size in a predetermined pattern, it is possible to suppress deformation of the bottle shape due to inner pressure build-up while providing advantageous aesthetic effect. Moreover, with provision of therib region 9 in addition to the plurality ofdepressions 8, bulging of therespective depression 8 can be suppressed, so that it is possible to suppress the deformation of the bottle shape even more effectively, while maintaining the advantageous aesthetic effect thanks to the plurality ofdepressions 8. - Lastly, other embodiments of the resin-made bottle relating to the present invention will be explained.
-
- (1) In the foregoing embodiment, there was explained, as one example, an arrangement that the plurality of
depressions 8 are formed in the band-like regions depressions 8 to be provided in at least a partial region of the resin-madebottle 1. Further, in the foregoing embodiment, the plurality ofdepressions 8 are formed in a part of theshoulder portion 3, but not in thebottom portion 5. However, when a band-like region is to be formed ofsuch depressions 8, the band-like region can have any desired shape and can be provided at any desired region also. For instance, as shown inFig. 3 , the band-like regions shoulder portion 3, thebody portion 4 and thebottom portion 5, except for therib region 9. Further alternatively, as shown infig. 4 , band-like regions 13 formed by thedepressions 8 may be provided equidistantly in the circumferential direction, so that stripe patterns formed of the band-like regions 13 may appear on the resin-madebottle 1. - (2) In the foregoing embodiment, there was explained, as one example, an arrangement that in a predetermined region in the height direction having no
depressions 8, which also is a height-wise region where a label is to be provided, there is provided arib region 9 having a plurality ofdiscontinuous ribs 10 extending in the circumferential direction and juxtaposed with each other. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For instance, therib region 9 may not be provided, or a plurality ofdepressions 8 may be provided in an area where therib region 9 was provided. Further, therib 10 is not limited to the rib extending in the circumferential direction, but may extend in the height direction or an oblique direction. Still further, unlike the foregoing embodiment, thediscontinuous portions 12 may be provided to be overlapped with each other in the juxtaposing direction in theadjacent ribs 10. Further, therib 10 may not be the discontinuous rib and may be without thediscontinuous portion 12. - (3) Regarding the other arrangements too, it is understood that the embodiments disclosed in this detailed disclosure are only exemplary in all respects, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereby. One skilled in the art could readily understand that modifications can be made within a scope not departing from the essence of the present invention, which is defined by the appended claims.
