  • Patent number: 8727154
    Abstract: The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to design bottle walls having such a shape as to inhibit cave-in deformation into a dented wall shape caused by recessed areas for fingerhold. The object of this invention is to provide a synthetic resin square bottle which is usable without anxiety, is excellent at firm hold, and has a high vacuum-absorbing function. In a synthetic resin square bottle comprising a body formed by multiple panel walls disposed on the body in a circumferential direction, and a waist portion made of a peripheral groove dented at a roughly middle height position of the body so as to divide each panel wall into an upper panel and a lower panel, recessed areas for fingerhold use are formed in at least a pair of opposing panel walls in a certain area ranging from the waist portion to an upper end portion of the lower panel of each panel wall, and a pair of side ribs is formed on right and left sides of, and in the vicinity of, each recessed area in the lower panel.

  • Patent number: 8113368
    Abstract: A synthetic resin bottle is provided with a shape that improves rigidity and strength in a lateral direction, without increasing the cost of material to thicken the bottle wall. The synthetic resin bottle is provided at a low cost in such a way that the bottles can be used smoothly on the carrier line, in vending machines, and in storage in stacks with no deformation. The bottles are capable of performing a vacuum-absorbing function enough to be used in hot filling. Multiple pillar sections in a projected strip-like shape are disposed on the body of a synthetic resin bottle, the pillar sections being inclined spirally at a uniform angle of gradient (?) relative to a central axis of the bottle and disposed in parallel to one another, so that the cylindrical body wall is prevented from being deformed by a pressure force acting in a lateral direction.

  • Patent number: 7886420
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a double pipe includes a step of inserting a straight inner pipe into a straight outer pipe such that the inner pipe and the outer pipe are positioned at a predetermined relative position, a step of fixing a first end portion of the outer pipe to the inner pipe so as to form a first fixing portion, a step of bending the outer pipe and the inner pipe at the same time at a predetermined portion so as to form at least one bending portion after the fixing step of the first end portion, and a step of fixing a second end portion of the outer pipe to the inner pipe so as to form a second end portion after the bending.

  • Patent number: 7165693
    Abstract: A synthetic resin bottle-type container includes a shoulder portion continuous with a mouth portion through which contents can be poured out, and a body portion forms a space for accommodating the contents over an area extending to its bottom wall from the shoulder portion. The body portion includes pressure-reduction absorbing panels defined by at least one groove that projects inwards of the container. For preventing the shoulder portion from deformation due to the absorption of the pressure-reduction, the groove for the pressure-reduction absorbing panel immediately below the shoulder portion is provided with a recess extending along the groove and having a depth larger than that of the groove.
