Patent number: 6586060Abstract: A thin-walled laminated synthetic resin body for a liquid container according to the invention comprises first and second thin-walled synthetic resin layers (10, 20), each having a curved surface portion (11, 21) and a projection (12, 22) extending outwardly from a predetermined region at an edge of the curved surface portion (11, 21). The first and second layers (10, 20) are laminated to each other with the curved surface portions (11, 21) bulging out in the same direction, are integrated with each other at the edges (13, 23) of the curved surface portions (11, 21) and projections (12, 22), and are separable from each other at regions exclusive of the edges (13, 23). When a liquid is charged, the curved surface portion (21) of one of the first and second layers (20) is separated from the curved surface portion (11) of the other layer (10) and reversed.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 1999Date of Patent: July 1, 2003Assignee: Yoshino Kogyosho Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sadatoshi Kose, Kazunori Hashimoto, Shinji Shimada

Patent number: 6575320Abstract: A bottle-type plastic container has a body and an opening at one end of the container that allows liquid content to be filled into the container and emptied therefrom. The body includes at least one body portion having a substantially regular polygonal cross-section defined by a plurality of generally flat walls. The generally flat walls of the body portion include flexible walls and less-flexible walls, which are arranged alternately to each other in a circumferential direction of the body portion. When the container is filled with liquid contents at a high temperature and subsequently cooled to room temperature, a resultant pressure drop within the container is absorbed by the walls, initially by a primary inward deflection of the flexible walls and subsequently by a secondary inward deflection of the less-flexible walls. As such, the plastic container is particularly suited for hot fill applications.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2001Date of Patent: June 10, 2003Assignee: Yoshino Kogyosho Co., Ltd.Inventors: Atsushi Ota, Shinji Shimada

Patent number: 6507381Abstract: A liquid crystal layer, made of a liquid crystal material having a negative dielectric anisotropy, is sealed between an opposing substrate and a pixel substrate that are arranged face to face with each other; thus, a liquid crystal panel of the birefringence control type is constructed. In this liquid crystal panel, the liquid crystal molecules, provided as the liquid crystal material, are kept in an oriented state in which they incline by an angle in the range of 3° to 10° with respect to the direction that is normal to the opposing substrate and the pixel substrate. Upon application of a driving voltage to the liquid crystal layer, since the pretilt angle, which is the initial angle of inclination of the liquid crystal molecules, is set at a value greater than that of a conventional apparatus, the occurrence of reverse tilt regions can be suppressed.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 1998Date of Patent: January 14, 2003Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoko Katsuya, Shinji Shimada, Kiyoshi Ogishima, Yutaka Takafuji

Publication number: 20010035392Abstract: A bottle-type plastic container has a barrel portion and an opening at one end region of the barrel, for allowing liquid contents to be charged into the container and discharged therefrom. The barrel portion has a generally polygonal cross-section defined by a plurality of substantially flat walls, and a plurality of part-cylindrical corner walls extending contiguously between the flat walls. The flat walls each has a shape that is deflected inwards as the liquid contents charged into the container at a high temperature is cooled, to absorb a pressure drop within the container. The corner walls each has a center line of curvature extending in parallel with a longitudinal axis of the container, and a radius of curvature that decreases as the pressure drop is absorbed by the flat walls.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2001Publication date: November 1, 2001Applicant: YOSHINO KOGYOSHO CO., LTD.Inventors: Atsushi Ota, Shinji Shimada
