Abstract: A synthetic resin bottle including a body having a bottom, wherein the body is divided by a waist into an upper body portion and a lower body portion. The bottle is easily portable and operable without requiring an additional handle, etc. and has high buckling strength. The bottle has a dome-shaped upper body portion connected, with the waist in between, to the lower body portion having the bottom, a shoulder surrounding the upper end of the upper body portion, and a tubular neck part connected to the shoulder. Two depressions facing each other are arranged on the rear side of the upper body portion along its circumferential direction. The portion formed between the depressions functions as a grip, and vertical ribs are each provided on a step surface formed on the front side of each depression.

Abstract: There is provided a synthetic resin bottle having high commercial value, which prevents plastic deformation accompanied with buckling. The invention provides a PET bottle comprising a body portion connected to a mouth portion via a shoulder portion, and a constricted portion provided on the body portion and looping along the circumferential direction. The body portion comprises a front wall and a back wall which face to each other, a left sidewall and a right sidewall which face to each other, and connecting portion which respectively join the walls. The cross section of the body portion along the circumferential direction a generally polygonal outer profile.

Abstract: A large container made of synthetic resin, and comprising a neck and a body; the body having a substantially rectangular cross section, and including an upper body and a lower body; the upper body containing a center of gravity of the container when filled with liquid; the upper body having a waist section containing the center of gravity; the waist section having a grip, the grip being not adapted to absorb a negative pressure in the container; and at least one surface of the lower body including a vacuum panel.

Abstract: A bottle includes a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion includes a shoulder that extends away from a neck of the bottle, and a grip portion. The grip portion is recessed within the top portion of the bottle. The top portion of the bottle includes at least one strengthening element, preferably in the form of a rib or column that may be provided between the upper and lower bell portions, or between the upper bell or shoulder portion and the grip portion. The bottle can be used for hot or cold fill applications.

Abstract: A photographing apparatus, including: a photographing section for generating photographed image data by performing a continuous shooting, and a controller for causing the photographing section to perform the continuous shooting with a continuous shooting speed thereof being slowed down in stages to correspond to a plurality of different continuous shooting speeds.

Abstract: An image composition device includes an obtaining section configured to obtain a downward-taken background image and a foreground image to be composed with the background image, a specification section configured to specify a position at which the foreground image is composed, in the background image obtained by the obtaining section, a composition section configured to compose the foreground image at the position in the background image which is specified by the specification section, to generate a composed image, and an image processing section configured to execute a smoothing process with a process intensity controlled based on the position, on the composed image.

Abstract: The blow molded preform of a laminated wall structure comprises a bulging shoulder portion, which has a diameter that widens slightly in the downward direction; a bottom shell portion for molding the bottom, which has been blow molded from the corresponding portion of parison P so as to have a widened and deformed shape; an inner overhang wall portion in any position starting from the opposite side of the neck ring and ending at the upper portion of the bulging shoulder portion, with the inner wall portion having a diameter that widens in the downward direction; and/or a radially widened connecting portion of an arced shape, which has a larger diameter than the barrel portion so that the entire bottom including the bottom shell portion takes a bulging spherical shape. With this configuration, no thick area is formed in the inner overhang wall portion on the opposite side of the neck ring and/or in the pinch-off portion.

Abstract: With a cover structure of the present invention, a cover body includes a cover portion that is large enough to cover a terminal portion and a shaft portion whose one end is connected to the cover portion and whose cross section is oval, a casing includes a bearing portion in which the shaft portion is fitted loosely, and the bearing portion has a inner diameter larger than a shaft diameter of a major diameter portion of the shaft portion and includes an opening portion that is larger than a shaft diameter of a minor diameter portion of the shaft portion and smaller than the shaft diameter of the major diameter portion. With this configuration, the cover body can be smoothly shifted from an opened state to a closed state and a portion to be covered can be covered properly. Furthermore, the assembling workability of the cover structure can be improved.

Abstract: A plastic bottle comprises a main body defining an upper portion and a lower portion, the lower portion including a plurality of vacuum flex panels, said lower portion including upper and lower label bumpers to receive a wrap around label. A circumferential, recessed waist portion defines a transition between the upper and lower portions of the main body. The upper portion includes a dome with a gripping section having a pair of opposed grip portions positioned above the waist and recessed into the upper portion.

Abstract: A polyisocyanate production method that can allow effective use of hydrogen chloride produced secondarily in a polyisocyanate production process, while allowing reduction of environmental burdens, and a polyisocyanate production system for performing the polyisocyanate production method. After chlorine is allowed to react with carbon monoxide to produce carbonyl chloride in a carbonyl chloride producing reactor, the carbonyl chloride produced in the carbonyl chloride producing reactor is allowed to react with polyamine in an isocyanate producing reactor to produce polyisocyanate. Then, after hydrochloric gas produced secondarily in the isocyanate producing reactor is purified in a hydrogen chloride purifying column, the purified hydrochloric gas is oxidized in a hydrogen chloride oxidizing reactor to produce chlorine.

Abstract: A bottle includes a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion includes a shoulder that extends away from a neck of the bottle, and a grip portion. The grip portion is recessed within the top portion of the bottle. The bottle may include a vacuum panel array and/or a rib array to help improve strength, reduce material and accommodate deformation forces tending to collapse the bottle upon filling with pasteurized contents.

Abstract: A method for producing a polyisocyanate includes a purification step of purifying an unpurified polyisocyanate, the purification step including a tar ingredient removal step of removing tar ingredients from an unpurified polyisocyanate, and a distillation step of distilling the unpurified polyisocyanate from which tar ingredients have been removed through a dividing wall distillation column.

Abstract: A method of dehydrating tolylenediamine which includes subjecting tolylenediamine having a water content of 5-40 wt. % to first-stage distillation at a vacuum of 13-101.3 kPa and subjecting the bottoms from the first-stage distillation to second-stage distillation at a vacuum lower than 13 kPa.
