Patent number: 8113368Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2006Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: Yoshino Kogyosho Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroki Oguchi, Tomoyuki Ozawa, Takao Iizuka

Publication number: 20090289028Abstract: A technical problem of this invention especially in the case of large-size bottles is to form a grip, without changing the bottle shape to a large extent, so that the body can be firmly held. The object of this invention is to provide a synthetic resin square bottle that can be used reliably because the bottle can be held firmly with a hand. A major means of solving the problem is a synthetic resin square bottle comprising a body having a rectangular shape in a plane cross-section and a groove-like waist portion disposed at a middle height of the bottle, wherein a pair of recessed portions for use as finger stops are formed in respective long side walls of said rectangular body over a predetermined area ranging from said waist portion downward to ensure that a plural number of fingers can be placed in at least one recessed portion for a finger stop purpose, and wherein a grip for holding the bottle is formed from both the pair of recessed portions and the waist portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2006Publication date: November 26, 2009Applicant: Yoshino Kogyosho Co.

Patent number: 7114626Abstract: In a bottle-shaped synthetic resin container having a body part of substantially rectangular tubular shape, groove ribs, having a comparatively wide vertical groove form, are depressingly provided at the centers in the width direction of flat wall portions of shoulder lower end parts, which are portions of a shoulder part that connect with the body part, to make these portions higher in rigidity and difficult to deform and, even when a deformation occurs, prevent the deformation from becoming a permanent deformation. Safe handling of the container is thus promoted, especially for the stacked storage of containers in a sideways-laid orientation.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2002Date of Patent: October 3, 2006Assignee: Yoshino Kogyosho Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshimasa Tanaka, Shigeru Tomiyama, Tomoyuki Ozawa, Takao Iizuka, Naoki Tsutsui

Patent number: 7097056Abstract: The gas-venting groove or grooves are formed, while leaving a part of the thread ridge up to a certain height, as the vertical degassing paths in the thread ridge carved on the outer surface of the round neck wall and the entire neck is whitened by the thermal crystallization. This thermal crystallization is conducted under the condition that the neck is prevented from undesired deformation caused by uneven resin flow state. Thus, the object of this invention is to provide a highly safe neck that can be used widely in the field of heat-resistant containers, pressure-tight containers, and heat-resistant and pressure-tight containers.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2003Date of Patent: August 29, 2006Assignee: Yoshino Kogyosho Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tomoyuki Ozawa, Toshimasa Tanaka, Takao Iizuka, Makoto Takada

Patent number: 7051890Abstract: The technical problem of this invention is to eliminate the need to use deformable panel walls and to find the body of a shape that no false deformation, such as dented deformation, takes place in a portion of the body due to the hot filling of the contents or the reduced pressure created by the treatment of retort-packed foods. The object of this invention is to obtain a bottle that can inhibit the deformation caused by reduced pressure, has a high buckling strength, and is good in outer appearance. As the solution, there is provided a biaxially drawn, blow-molded bottle made of a synthetic resin, in which the surface rigidity of the wall of body is set in such a manner that a part of the body wall cannot become dented inward under a reduced inner pressure of at least 350 mmHg (46.7 kPa).Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2003Date of Patent: May 30, 2006Assignee: Yoshino Kogyosho Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yuko Onoda, Tomoyuki Ozawa, Takao Iizuka, Shigeru Tomiyama, Tadayori Nakayama, Fuminori Tanaka, Tsutomu Asari
