FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 3, showing an example of (a) a state in which no beverage is stored and (b) a state in which the beverage is stored. O in the figure indicates the center line.

本形態の飲料容器１は、飲料を収容するための収容空間Ｐを備える包装容器である。飲料は、ここでは、水、炭酸水、ジュース、お茶、コーヒー、牛乳等のアルコールを含まない飲料、ビール、ワイン、日本酒等のアルコールを含む飲料など、幅広く含むものとする。 Beverage container 1 of this embodiment is a packaging container that includes a storage space P for storing a beverage. Beverages here include a wide range of beverages, including non-alcoholic beverages such as water, carbonated water, juice, tea, coffee, and milk, and alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, and Japanese sake.

飲料容器１は、首部２と、首部２に続く肩部３と、肩部３に続く胴部４と、胴部４の内側にある底部５と、を備える。なお、ここでは、内側は平面中心（平面視円形の場合は円心）に近い側、外側はその反対側を指す。飲料容器１は、材料（素材）等は特に限定されない。 The beverage container 1 comprises a neck 2, a shoulder 3 adjoining the neck 2, a body 4 adjoining the shoulder 3, and a bottom 5 inside the body 4. Note that here, the inner side refers to the side closer to the center of the plane (the center of the circle in the case of a circular shape in plan view), and the outer side refers to the opposite side. The material of the beverage container 1 is not particularly limited.

首部２は、飲み口や注ぎ口となる部分である。首部２は、略円筒状である。首部２は、胴部４より外周が小さい。首部２は、一例として、上端寄りの部分が壁厚に形成され、その外周面の一部に、後述のキャップ６の内周面の雌ねじと螺合するための雄ねじが設けられる。 The neck portion 2 is a portion that serves as a drinking spout or spout. The neck portion 2 has a substantially cylindrical shape. The neck portion 2 has a smaller outer circumference than the body portion 4. For example, the neck portion 2 has a thick wall at a portion near the upper end, and a male thread is provided on a part of the outer circumferential surface of the neck portion 2 to engage with a female thread on the inner circumferential surface of the cap 6, which will be described later.

肩部３は、首部２と、首部２より外周が大きい胴部４をつなぐ壁部分である。肩部３は、一例として、図示のように、外周方向に所定角度で傾斜する漏斗状である。すなわち、肩部３は、首部２の下端から所定の鋭角で外周方向にテーパー状に広がる。肩部３は、一例として、外周方向に略水平に延びるものでもよい。この場合、肩部３は、首部２の下端から９０度の角度で外周方向に広がるものとも言える。言い換えれば、肩部３は、首部２の下端から外周方向に９０度以下の角度で広がる形状である。 The shoulder portion 3 is a wall portion that connects the neck portion 2 and the body portion 4, which has a larger outer circumference than the neck portion 2. For example, the shoulder portion 3 has a funnel shape that is inclined at a predetermined angle in the outer circumferential direction, as shown in the drawing. That is, the shoulder portion 3 tapers outward from the lower end of the neck portion 2 at a predetermined acute angle. For example, the shoulder portion 3 may extend substantially horizontally in the outer circumferential direction. In this case, it can be said that the shoulder portion 3 extends in the outer circumferential direction from the lower end of the neck portion 2 at an angle of 90 degrees. In other words, the shoulder portion 3 has a shape that extends from the lower end of the neck portion 2 in the outer circumferential direction at an angle of 90 degrees or less.

胴部４は、一例として、図示のように略円筒状である。胴部４は、角筒状や楕円筒状等他の形状でもよい。胴部４の詳細は、後述する。 As an example, the body portion 4 has a substantially cylindrical shape as shown in the drawing. The body portion 4 may have other shapes such as a rectangular tube shape or an elliptical tube shape. Details of the body portion 4 will be described later.

底部５は、胴部４の内側に位置する。底部５は、上方に凹む形状で、外周が胴部４とつながっている。底部５の詳細は、後述する。 The bottom part 5 is located inside the body part 4. The bottom portion 5 has an upwardly concave shape and is connected to the body portion 4 at its outer periphery. Details of the bottom portion 5 will be described later.

飲料容器１は、上記の構成により収容空間Ｐが形成され、収容空間Ｐに飲料を収容し、飲み口（注ぎ口）から飲める（注げる）ようになっている。 In the beverage container 1, a storage space P is formed with the above-described configuration, and a beverage is stored in the storage space P so that the beverage can be drunk (poured) from the drinking spout (spout).

本形態の飲料容器１は、さらに、２つの飲料容器１同士を連結する連結構造を備える。 The beverage container 1 of this embodiment further includes a connection structure that connects the two beverage containers 1 to each other.

図１及び図２に示すように、飲料容器１は、従来技術と異なり、胴部４に、連結構造が設けられる。胴部４は、具体的には、連結構造として、飲料容器１同士を連結するための連結爪４１と、連結爪４１と係合するための爪受け４２とを備える。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the beverage container 1 is different from the prior art in that the body 4 is provided with a connecting structure. Specifically, the body 4 includes, as a connecting structure, a connecting claw 41 for connecting the beverage containers 1 to each other, and a claw receiver 42 for engaging with the connecting claw 41.

上記従来のボトル型容器は、口部（首部）で連結する口部連結構造である。上記従来のボトル型容器は、連結状態において重なる部分が口部のみであるため、安定した構造とは言えない。例えば、頻繁に開閉する冷蔵庫で保管する場合や外出時に携帯する場合等における使用には向いていない。 The conventional bottle-shaped container described above has a mouth connection structure in which the containers are connected at the mouth (neck). The conventional bottle-shaped containers described above cannot be said to have a stable structure because the only part that overlaps in the connected state is the mouth. For example, it is not suitable for use when stored in a refrigerator that is frequently opened and closed, or when carried when going out.

これに対して、本形態の飲料容器１は、胴部４で飲料容器１同士を連結する胴部連結構造である。飲料容器１同士は、一方の底部５に他方の首部２が収容された状態で、一方の連結爪４１と他方の爪受け４２が係合すると連結する。これにより、図３に示すように、飲料容器１を複数重ねてなる多段容器１０は、あたかも一つの容器のように安定した形になる。そのため、頻繁な開閉で振動が加わることが予想される冷蔵庫等での保管や、不用意な移動が予想される外出時の携帯の場合等でも、連結して気軽に保管や携帯できる。 On the other hand, the beverage container 1 of this embodiment has a body connection structure in which the body 4 connects the beverage containers 1 to each other. The beverage containers 1 are connected to each other when the connecting claw 41 on one side and the claw receiver 42 on the other side are engaged with each other, with the neck portion 2 of the other being accommodated in the bottom portion 5 of one. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, the multi-stage container 10 formed by stacking a plurality of beverage containers 1 has a stable shape as if it were a single container. Therefore, it can be connected and easily stored or carried, even when stored in a refrigerator or the like where it is expected to be subject to vibrations due to frequent opening and closing, or carried when going out where careless movement is expected.

好ましくは、図４（ａ）に示すように、飲料容器１は、連結爪４１が、収容空間Ｐよりも下方となる位置に設けられる。また、爪受け４２が、胴部４の上端よりも下方となる位置に設けられる。 Preferably, as shown in FIG. 4(a), the beverage container 1 is provided at a position where the connecting claw 41 is below the accommodation space P. Further, a claw receiver 42 is provided at a position below the upper end of the body 4.

図４（ｂ）に示すように、このように構成することで、矢印Ｓで示す収容部分は、下段（第２段）飲料容器１の胴部４の一部であるにも関わらず、見掛け上、恰も上段（第１段）飲料容器１の胴部４の一部のようになっている（第２段及び第３段の飲料容器１同士も同様である）。言い換えれば、このように構成することで、収容飲料量を減らさずに、互いに重なる部分を大きくして、より安定した構造とすることができる。 As shown in FIG. 4(b), with this configuration, the storage portion indicated by arrow S is a part of the body 4 of the lower (second stage) beverage container 1, but the appearance is Above, it looks like a part of the body 4 of the upper (first stage) beverage container 1 (the same applies to the second and third stage beverage containers 1). In other words, by configuring in this way, it is possible to increase the mutually overlapping portions and create a more stable structure without reducing the amount of stored beverages.

図５は、図２のＡＡ線断面拡大図である。図６は、図５の一部拡大図で胴部の下端寄りの部分を説明するためのものである。図７は、図５の一部拡大図で胴部の上端寄りの部分を説明するためのものである。各図において、Ｘは左右方向（横方向、水平方向）、Ｙは上下方向（縦方向、鉛直方向）を示す（図８及び図９において同じ）。以下、飲料容器１の胴部４及び底部５について、詳細に説明する。 FIG. 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 2. FIG. 6 is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 5 for explaining a portion near the lower end of the body. FIG. 7 is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 5 for explaining a portion near the upper end of the body. In each figure, X indicates the left-right direction (lateral direction, horizontal direction), and Y indicates the up-down direction (vertical direction, vertical direction) (same in FIGS. 8 and 9). Hereinafter, the body 4 and bottom 5 of the beverage container 1 will be explained in detail.

飲料容器１の収容空間Ｐは、基本的には、胴部４及び底部５で形成される。言い換えれば、首部２は基本的には飲み口（注ぎ口）の機能を、肩部３は漏斗のような機能を果たす。飲料を肩部３まで収容すると、肩部３も収容空間Ｐの一部を形成するとも言えるが、肩部３まで収容するか否か、肩部３のどの位置まで収容するかは、飲料メーカや使用者により異なるので、収容空間Ｐは、基本的には、胴部４及び底部５で形成されるものと考えられる。 The accommodation space P of the beverage container 1 is basically formed by the body 4 and the bottom 5. In other words, the neck 2 basically functions as a drinking spout, and the shoulder 3 functions as a funnel. If the beverage is accommodated up to the shoulder 3, it can be said that the shoulder 3 also forms part of the accommodation space P, but it is up to the beverage manufacturer to decide whether to accommodate the beverage up to the shoulder 3 and to what position on the shoulder 3. The housing space P is basically considered to be formed by the trunk 4 and the bottom 5, since it differs depending on the user and the user.

先ず、胴部４について説明する。図示のように、本形態の胴部４は、肩部３の下端から底部５の下端までの本体４０で収容空間Ｐを囲う。 First, the body section 4 will be explained. As shown in the figure, the body 4 of this embodiment surrounds the accommodation space P with a main body 40 from the lower end of the shoulder 3 to the lower end of the bottom 5.

胴部４は、図示のように、収容空間Ｐを囲う本体４０から下方に延びる外壁部４３を備える。言い換えれば、外壁部４３は、底部５よりも下方に位置する。連結状態では、この外壁部４３の内側に下段（他方）の飲料容器１の胴部４の一部が収容される。 The body portion 4 includes an outer wall portion 43 extending downward from the main body 40 surrounding the accommodation space P, as shown in the figure. In other words, the outer wall portion 43 is located below the bottom portion 5. In the connected state, a part of the body 4 of the lower (other) beverage container 1 is accommodated inside this outer wall 43 .

外壁部４３は、一例として、後述の連結爪４１に対応して、胴部４の周方向に断続的に２以上設けられる。好ましくは、外壁部４３は、胴部４の周方向に連続して一周設けられる。このように構成することで、強度を確保しやすくなる。また、外壁部４３は、強度を確保する観点から、好ましくは、本体４０の壁厚よりも厚く形成される。 As an example, two or more outer wall portions 43 are provided intermittently in the circumferential direction of the body portion 4, corresponding to the connecting claws 41, which will be described later. Preferably, the outer wall portion 43 is provided continuously around the body portion 4 in the circumferential direction. With this configuration, strength can be easily ensured. Further, from the viewpoint of ensuring strength, the outer wall portion 43 is preferably formed to be thicker than the wall thickness of the main body 40.

連結爪４１は、この外壁部４３の下端部の内周面に設けられる。内周面に設けることで、他の物に引っかかり難くなる。 The connecting claw 41 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the lower end of the outer wall portion 43 . By providing it on the inner peripheral surface, it becomes difficult to get caught on other objects.

連結爪４１は、周方向に連続して一周設けられてもよいが、爪受け４２との係合が解除しにくくなる恐れもあるので、好ましくは、周方向に同間隔に断続的に２以上設けられる。例えば、図５及び図１（ｂ）、図２（ｃ）に示すように、隣接の連結爪４１同士の中心間間隔が９０度となるよう４つ（２対）設けられる。 The connecting pawls 41 may be provided continuously around the circumferential direction, but since this may make it difficult to disengage from the pawl receiver 42, preferably two or more connecting pawls 41 are provided intermittently at the same intervals in the circumferential direction. provided. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 1(b), and FIG. 2(c), four connecting claws 41 (two pairs) are provided so that the distance between the centers of adjacent connecting claws 41 is 90 degrees.

連結爪４１は、断続的に設ける場合、周方向の長さは、特に限定されない。連結爪４１は、意図せず外れることがないように、一例として、合計長さが外壁部４３（外壁部４３が断続的に形成される場合は、本体４０）の外周の長さの１／３以上となるように設けられる。また、取外しの容易さを考慮して、一例として、合計長さが外壁部４３の外周の長さの３／４以下となるように設けられる。好ましくは、連結爪４１の合計長さは、外壁部４３の外周の長さの１／２程度である。 When the connecting claws 41 are provided intermittently, the length in the circumferential direction is not particularly limited. For example, the total length of the connecting claws 41 is 1/1/1 of the length of the outer circumference of the outer wall portion 43 (or the main body 40 if the outer wall portion 43 is formed intermittently) so that the connecting claws 41 do not come off unintentionally. It is provided so that the number is 3 or more. Further, in consideration of ease of removal, the total length is, for example, 3/4 or less of the length of the outer circumference of the outer wall portion 43. Preferably, the total length of the connecting claws 41 is about 1/2 of the length of the outer circumference of the outer wall portion 43.

連結爪４１は、内側へ突出するように設けられる。内側へ突出することで、他の物に引っかかり難くなる。また、上段の飲料容器１を持ち上げても下段の飲料容器１が抜け落ちないようにすることができる。 The connecting claw 41 is provided so as to protrude inward. By protruding inward, it becomes difficult to get caught on other objects. Furthermore, even if the upper beverage container 1 is lifted, the lower beverage container 1 can be prevented from falling out.

より具体的には、図６に示すように、連結爪４１は、断面視において、内側下方へ傾斜する第１面部４１１と、第１面部４１１に続く下方に略垂直に延びる第２面部４１２と、第２面部４１２に続く外側下方へ傾斜する第３面部４１３と、を有する。第２面部４１２と第３面部４１３の間の角部は、好ましくは、Ｒ面に形成される。これにより、飲料容器１同士を連結する際に押し被せ（押し込み）やすくなる。 More specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the connecting claw 41 includes a first surface portion 411 that slopes inward and downward, and a second surface portion 412 that extends substantially perpendicularly downward following the first surface portion 411 in a cross-sectional view. , and a third surface portion 413 that is continuous with the second surface portion 412 and slopes outward and downward. The corner between the second surface portion 412 and the third surface portion 413 is preferably formed into a rounded surface. This makes it easier to push (push) the beverage containers 1 together when connecting them.

連結爪４１は、さらに第３面部４１３に続く外側に略水平に延びる第４面部４１４を有してもよい。第４面部４１４は、好ましくは、外壁部４３の下端と同じ平面上にあるように形成される。このように構成することで、後述の壁間隙間Ｅと対応しやすくなり、また載置する際の載置面を広くなる。 The connecting claw 41 may further include a fourth surface portion 414 continuing from the third surface portion 413 and extending substantially horizontally to the outside. The fourth surface portion 414 is preferably formed to be on the same plane as the lower end of the outer wall portion 43. By configuring in this way, it becomes easier to deal with the inter-wall gap E described later, and the mounting surface upon mounting becomes wider.

爪受け４２は、一例として、周方向に断続的に、連結爪４１の数だけ、連結爪４１の長さに応じて設けられる。より好ましくは、図５及び図１（ｂ）、図２（ｂ）に示すように、爪受け４２は、胴部４の周方向に連続して一周設けられる。爪受け４２を一周設けることで、全周のどの位置でも連結爪４１が引っかかるので、連結がより容易になる。 As an example, the pawl receivers 42 are provided intermittently in the circumferential direction by the number of connecting pawls 41 and according to the length of the connecting pawls 41. More preferably, as shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 1(b), and FIG. 2(b), the claw receiver 42 is provided continuously around the body portion 4 in the circumferential direction. By providing the pawl receiver 42 around the entire circumference, the connecting pawl 41 can be caught at any position on the entire circumference, making the connection easier.

爪受け４２は、連結爪４１に対応して、内側へ凹むように設けられる。より具体的には、図７に示すように、爪受け４２は、断面視において、内側下方へ傾斜する第１壁部４２１と、第１壁部４２１に続く下方に略垂直に延びる第２壁部４２２と、第２壁部４２２に続く外側下方へ傾斜する第３壁部４２３と、を有する。爪受け４２は、第１壁部４２１の傾斜角度が連結爪４１の第１面部４１１と略同等で、第３壁部４２３の傾斜角度が第３面部４１３と略同等である。好ましくは、第３壁部４２３の上下幅は、連結爪４１の第３面部４１３よりも大きい。 The claw receiver 42 is provided to correspond to the connecting claw 41 and to be recessed inward. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the claw receiver 42 includes a first wall portion 421 that slopes inwards and downwards, and a second wall that extends substantially perpendicularly downward following the first wall portion 421 in a cross-sectional view. 422 , and a third wall portion 423 that is continuous with the second wall portion 422 and slopes outward and downward. In the pawl receiver 42, the first wall portion 421 has an inclination angle that is approximately the same as the first surface portion 411 of the connecting pawl 41, and the third wall portion 423 has an inclination angle that is approximately the same as the third surface portion 413. Preferably, the vertical width of the third wall portion 423 is larger than the third surface portion 413 of the connecting claw 41.

図５及び図７に示すように、胴部４は、爪受け４２の上方に、肩部３に続く縦壁部４４を備える。言い換えれば、縦壁部４４は、肩部３の下端と爪受け４２の上端の間の壁部分である。 As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the body portion 4 includes a vertical wall portion 44 continuing to the shoulder portion 3 above the claw receiver 42. As shown in FIGS. In other words, the vertical wall portion 44 is a wall portion between the lower end of the shoulder portion 3 and the upper end of the claw receiver 42 .

縦壁部４４は、連結状態において外壁部４３の内側に位置する。縦壁部４４は、好ましくは、外壁部４３と略平行に形成される。縦壁部４４は、一例として、上下に略鉛直に延びるように形成される。縦壁部４４の上下幅（高さ）は、特に限定されないが、好ましくは、爪受け４２全体の上下幅（高さ）と同等またはやや大きい。 The vertical wall portion 44 is located inside the outer wall portion 43 in the connected state. The vertical wall portion 44 is preferably formed substantially parallel to the outer wall portion 43. For example, the vertical wall portion 44 is formed to extend substantially vertically up and down. The vertical width (height) of the vertical wall portion 44 is not particularly limited, but is preferably equal to or slightly larger than the vertical width (height) of the entire nail receiver 42.

底部５は、図５に示すように、上方に凹むように設けられ、上壁部５１と、肩当接部５３と、上壁部５１と肩当接部５３をつなぐ中間部５２とを有する。 As shown in FIG. 5, the bottom portion 5 is provided to be recessed upward and includes an upper wall portion 51, a shoulder contact portion 53, and an intermediate portion 52 connecting the upper wall portion 51 and the shoulder contact portion 53.

上壁部５１は、首部２ないしキャップ６より外周が大きく、略水平に設けられる。上壁部５１は、好ましくは、首部２の上端ないしキャップ６の上面と同心状に設けられる。 The upper wall portion 51 has a larger outer circumference than the neck portion 2 or the cap 6, and is provided substantially horizontally. The upper wall portion 51 is preferably provided concentrically with the upper end of the neck portion 2 or the upper surface of the cap 6.

中間部５２は、一例として、肩当接部５３より小さい角度で、外周方向下方に傾斜する形状である。 For example, the intermediate portion 52 has a shape that is inclined downward in the outer circumferential direction at an angle smaller than that of the shoulder contact portion 53.

肩当接部５３は、肩部３に平行に延びる形状、言い換えれば、肩部３と同角度で外周方向下方に傾斜する漏斗状である。このように構成することで、上段の飲料容器１と下段の飲料容器１が、肩部３と肩当接部５３で当接し、連結状態の多段容器１０がより安定する。 The shoulder contact portion 53 has a shape that extends parallel to the shoulder portion 3, in other words, a funnel shape that slopes downward in the outer circumferential direction at the same angle as the shoulder portion 3. With this configuration, the upper beverage container 1 and the lower beverage container 1 come into contact with each other at the shoulder portion 3 and the shoulder contact portion 53, and the connected multi-tiered container 10 becomes more stable.

このように構成する飲料容器１は、図５及び図６に示すように、下端寄りの部分が略Ｙ字状になっている。すなわち、底部５が内周側で胴部４の本体４０の下端を閉塞し、外壁部４３が外周側で本体４０の下端に続き下方に延びる。 As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the beverage container 1 configured in this manner has a substantially Y-shaped portion near the lower end. That is, the bottom part 5 closes the lower end of the main body 40 of the body part 4 on the inner peripheral side, and the outer wall part 43 continues to the lower end of the main body 40 on the outer peripheral side and extends downward.

本形態の飲料容器１は、このように構成することで、連結状態において、下段の飲料容器１の胴部４の一部を収容可能な下段収容空間Ｑを内側に包含するようになる。 By configuring the beverage container 1 of this embodiment in this way, in the connected state, the beverage container 1 of the present embodiment comes to include a lower storage space Q inside which can accommodate a part of the body 4 of the lower beverage container 1.

図８は、図４のＢ部拡大図である。以下、連結状態について詳細に説明する。 FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of part B in FIG. 4. The connected state will be explained in detail below.

上段の飲料容器１を下段の飲料容器１に押し被せる、及び／又は、下段の飲料容器１を上段の飲料容器１に押し込むと、上段の連結爪４１が下段の爪受け４２に引っかかり、係合して、図示の連結状態となる。 When the upper beverage container 1 is pushed over the lower beverage container 1 and/or the lower beverage container 1 is pushed into the upper beverage container 1, the upper connecting claw 41 catches and engages the lower claw receiver 42. As a result, the connected state shown in the figure is achieved.

本形態の飲料容器１同士は、連結状態において、上段の飲料容器１の上壁部５１の下面と下段の飲料容器１の容器最上端との間に第１隙間Ｃを有する。ここでは、容器最上端は、飲料容器１がキャップ６等を備える場合はキャップ６等の最上端、飲料容器１がキャップ６等を有しない場合は首部２の最上端を指す。すなわち、図示例では、飲料容器１は、中間部５２の上下幅（高さ）が、キャップ６を取り付けた状態のキャップ６の上面から首部２の下端までの上下幅（高さ）より所定幅だけ大きい。 In the connected state, the beverage containers 1 of this embodiment have a first gap C between the lower surface of the upper wall portion 51 of the upper beverage container 1 and the top end of the lower beverage container 1. Here, the container uppermost end refers to the uppermost end of the cap 6 etc. when the beverage container 1 is provided with the cap 6 etc., and refers to the uppermost end of the neck portion 2 when the beverage container 1 does not have the cap 6 etc. That is, in the illustrated example, in the beverage container 1, the vertical width (height) of the intermediate portion 52 is a predetermined width greater than the vertical width (height) from the top surface of the cap 6 to the lower end of the neck portion 2 when the cap 6 is attached. Only bigger.

また、飲料容器１同士は、連結状態において、上段の中間部５２の内周面と下段の首部２の最大外周の間に第２隙間Ｄを有する。すなわち、飲料容器１は、中間部５２の内周が、首部２の最大外周より所定幅だけ大きい。 In addition, the beverage containers 1 have a second gap D between the inner circumferential surface of the upper intermediate portion 52 and the maximum outer circumference of the lower neck portion 2 in the connected state. That is, in the beverage container 1, the inner circumference of the intermediate portion 52 is larger than the maximum outer circumference of the neck portion 2 by a predetermined width.

このように構成しているのは、飲料容器１同士の連結状態を解除するには、斜めにして先に取り外す側の連結爪４１を浮かせる必要があるところ、第１隙間Ｃ及び第２隙間Ｄを設けることで、斜めに傾けるのに必要な空間を確保するためである。 The reason for this structure is that in order to release the connection between the beverage containers 1, it is necessary to tilt the connection claw 41 on the side to be removed first, and the first gap C and the second gap D This is to ensure the space necessary for tilting diagonally.

このように構成しても、上段の肩当接部５３が下段の肩部３と同角度で傾斜し密着している（隙間が略ゼロである）とともに、連結爪４１と爪受け４２が係合しているため、飲料容器１同士ががたつくことはない。 Even with this configuration, the upper shoulder contact portion 53 is inclined at the same angle as the lower shoulder portion 3 and is in close contact (the gap is approximately zero), and the connecting claw 41 and the claw receiver 42 are engaged. Therefore, the beverage containers 1 do not shake against each other.

ここでは、一例として、肩部３及び肩当接部５３の傾斜角度Ｇが６０度程度である。連結爪４１と爪受け４２の爪係量Ｆは、好ましくは、本体４０の壁厚以上で、例えば２倍程度である。 Here, as an example, the inclination angle G of the shoulder portion 3 and the shoulder contact portion 53 is about 60 degrees. The pawl coefficient F of the connecting pawl 41 and the pawl receiver 42 is preferably greater than or equal to the wall thickness of the main body 40, for example, about twice as much.

本形態の飲料容器１は、このように、胴部４で連結し、首部２の周囲に隙間を設ける構造であるため、首部２やキャップ６の構成の制限を受けずに済む。 Since the beverage container 1 of this embodiment has a structure in which the body 4 is connected and a gap is provided around the neck 2, it is not limited by the configurations of the neck 2 and the cap 6.

言い換えれば、上記従来のボトル型容器が、下段のボトルがキャップを備えられないのに対して、本形態の飲料容器１は、キャップ６を設けることができる。もちろん、キャップ６を設けなくてもよい。また、キャップ６の代わりに、アルミ箔等のシール部材を設けることもできる。また、キャップ６の大きさや首部の大きさの違いにも対応しやすい。 In other words, in the conventional bottle-shaped container described above, the lower bottle is not provided with a cap, whereas the beverage container 1 of this embodiment can be provided with the cap 6. Of course, the cap 6 may not be provided. Furthermore, instead of the cap 6, a sealing member such as aluminum foil may be provided. Further, it is easy to accommodate differences in the size of the cap 6 and the size of the neck.

なお、キャップを介して連結するキャップ連結構造も考えられるが、そもそもキャップは首部と連結するためのものなので、連結構造が重なる。すなわち、この場合は、キャップの外側に雄ねじを設けることになり、これと底部の凹部との螺合と、キャップの内側と首部との螺合の２重螺合構造になるので、使用者が混乱してしまう恐れがある。また、ボトル同士の連結を解除する際に、方向や力加減によっては、意図せずにキャップが首部から外れてしまう恐れがある。 Note that a cap connection structure in which the caps are connected via a cap is also considered, but since the cap is originally intended for connection to the neck, the connection structures overlap. In other words, in this case, a male thread will be provided on the outside of the cap, and a double threaded structure will be created in which this thread is threaded into the recess at the bottom and the neck is threaded into the inside of the cap. There is a risk of confusion. Furthermore, when the bottles are uncoupled from each other, depending on the direction and the amount of force applied, there is a risk that the cap may unintentionally come off the neck.

これに対して、本形態の飲料容器１同士は、連結爪４１と爪受け４２との係合構造であり、この係合構造と、キャップ６と首部２の螺合構造とは、着脱部分及び着脱操作が全く異なるので、使用者が子供の場合も混乱することはない。また、一方の操作で、他方が外れる心配もない。 On the other hand, the beverage containers 1 of this embodiment have an engaging structure between the connecting claw 41 and the claw receiver 42, and this engaging structure and the screwing structure between the cap 6 and the neck portion 2 are different from the attachment/detachment portion and Since the attachment and detachment operations are completely different, there is no confusion even if the user is a child. Also, there is no need to worry about the operation of one causing the other to come off.

本形態の飲料容器１同士は、図示のように、連結状態で、外壁部４３の内側に縦壁部４４がある。外壁部４３と縦壁部４４との間の壁間隙間Ｅは、連結爪４１の着脱のバランスを考慮して、ゼロよりは大きく本体４０の壁厚よりは小さく設けられる。なお、本体４０の素材等によっては、壁間隙間Ｅがゼロであってもよいことは言うまでもない。 As shown in the figure, the beverage containers 1 of this embodiment have a vertical wall portion 44 inside an outer wall portion 43 in a connected state. The inter-wall gap E between the outer wall portion 43 and the vertical wall portion 44 is set to be larger than zero and smaller than the wall thickness of the main body 40 in consideration of the balance of attachment and detachment of the connecting claw 41. It goes without saying that depending on the material of the main body 40, the inter-wall gap E may be zero.

外壁部４３と縦壁部４４は、一例として、縦壁部４４が本体４０の他の部分と同径（左右幅が同等）に構成され、外壁部４３が大径に構成される。より好ましくは、図示のように、連結状態において胴部４の外周面に段差がないように、外壁部４３が本体４０と同径に構成され、縦壁部４４が小径に構成される。 For example, the outer wall portion 43 and the vertical wall portion 44 are configured such that the vertical wall portion 44 has the same diameter as the other portions of the main body 40 (the left and right widths are the same), and the outer wall portion 43 has a large diameter. More preferably, as shown in the figure, the outer wall 43 is configured to have the same diameter as the main body 40 and the vertical wall 44 is configured to have a small diameter so that there is no step on the outer peripheral surface of the body 4 in the connected state.

図９は、図１の飲料容器の一実施例を示す断面図である。図１０は、図９の飲料容器を示すイメージ図である。図１１は、図９の飲料容器を３段重ねてなる多段容器のイメージ図である。 FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of one embodiment of the beverage container of FIG. 1. FIG. 10 is an image diagram showing the beverage container of FIG. 9. FIG. 11 is an image diagram of a multi-tiered container formed by stacking the beverage containers of FIG. 9 in three tiers.

本例の飲料容器１は、ペットボトルである。本例の飲料容器１を３つ重ねてなる多段容器（３段容器）１０は、通常の５００ｍｌのペットボトルに相当する。飲料容器１は、３段で飲料を５００ｍｌ程度収容できるように、内容積Ｈが１８５ｃｍ３～２０５ｃｍ３で、図示例は２００ｃｍ３程度である。キャップ６を含む３段容器１０の全体の高さは、例えば２７５ｍｍ程度で、キャップ６を含む各飲料容器１の高さは、例えば、１２０ｍｍ程度である。 The beverage container 1 in this example is a plastic bottle. A multi-tiered container (three-tiered container) 10 formed by stacking three beverage containers 1 of this example corresponds to a normal 500 ml PET bottle. The beverage container 1 has an internal volume H of 185 cm 3 to 205 cm 3 , and the illustrated example is approximately 200 cm 3 so that it can accommodate approximately 500 ml of beverage in three stages. The overall height of the three-tier container 10 including the cap 6 is, for example, about 275 mm, and the height of each beverage container 1 including the cap 6 is, for example, about 120 mm.

胴部４は、円筒状で、最大径Ｉが６５ｍｍ程度である。連結爪４１は、第１面部４１１が６０度程度で傾斜し、第３面部４１３が４５度程度で傾斜している。これに応じて、爪受け４２の第１壁部４２１が６０度程度で傾斜し、第３壁部４２３が４５度程度で傾斜している。 The body portion 4 is cylindrical and has a maximum diameter I of approximately 65 mm. The first surface portion 411 of the connecting claw 41 is inclined at about 60 degrees, and the third surface portion 413 is inclined at about 45 degrees. Accordingly, the first wall portion 421 of the claw receiver 42 is inclined at about 60 degrees, and the third wall portion 423 is inclined at about 45 degrees.

本例の飲料容器１は、特に炭酸水等の収容に好適である。炭酸水は、５００ｍｌの量は、短時間で飲みきれず、炭酸が抜けてしまう。一方で、小容量の容器をいくつも保管したり、携帯したりすることは、煩雑であり、余分なスペースが取られる。 The beverage container 1 of this example is particularly suitable for storing carbonated water and the like. 500ml of carbonated water cannot be drunk in a short amount of time, and the carbonation will be lost. On the other hand, storing and carrying multiple small-capacity containers is cumbersome and takes up extra space.

本例の飲料容器１を３段重ねた多段容器１０は、１本ずつ炭酸の爽快感が封切りと同じように味わえるにもかかわらず、１本の５００ｍｌの容器と同様なスペースで冷蔵庫のドアポケット等に保管でき、外出時も１本の５００ｍｌの容器と同感覚で携帯できる。 The multi-tiered container 10 in which three beverage containers 1 are stacked one on top of the other can provide the same refreshing sensation of carbonated beverages as a single 500ml container, but it can be stored in the refrigerator door pocket in the same space as a single 500ml container. It can be stored in a storage container, etc., and can be carried around just like a single 500ml container when going out.

以上、ペットボトルを例に説明したが、アルミ等の金属や草木に由来する材料等他の素材の飲料容器にも適用できる。 Although the above description has been made using a PET bottle as an example, the present invention can also be applied to beverage containers made of other materials such as metals such as aluminum or materials derived from plants.

上記構成は、首部を有しない飲料容器や、肩部を有しない飲料容器に適用してもよい。言い換えれば、上記連結構造は、胴部及び底部を有する飲料容器であれば、適用できる。 The above configuration may be applied to a beverage container without a neck or a beverage container without a shoulder. In other words, the above connection structure can be applied to any beverage container that has a body and a bottom.

上記構成は、飲料を収容する包装容器以外に適用してもよいことは言うまでもない。 It goes without saying that the above configuration may be applied to other than packaging containers for containing beverages.

以上、本発明に係る飲料容器の実施形態について説明したが、これらは本発明の一例に過ぎず、本発明はこれらに限定されない。本発明には、以上の各実施形態やその変形例を組み合わせた形態や、さらに様々な変形例が含まれる。請求の範囲に規定された内容及びその均等物から導き出される本発明の概念的な思想と趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の追加、変更及び部分的削除が可能である。 Although the embodiments of the beverage container according to the present invention have been described above, these are only examples of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. The present invention includes combinations of the above embodiments and their modifications, as well as various modifications. Various additions, changes, and partial deletions are possible without departing from the conceptual idea and gist of the present invention derived from the content defined in the claims and equivalents thereof.
