  • Patent number: 10023347
    Abstract: Disclosed is a synthetic resin container provided with an inverting, foldback bottom wall that can maintain a stable, self-supporting position while being able to minimize the amount of residual contents, and that can be formed by blow-molding, etc., and maintain the favorable producibility or low cost of the past. The synthetic resin container is provided with a bottom wall that forms the bottom of the container, and a drum section that is united to the perimeter of the bottom wall and forms a filling space M for contents on the inside, and is a synthetic resin container wherein a raised bottom is formed by inverting and folding back said bottom wall toward said drum section. Said drum section has a lower peripheral wall that touches or approaches the outer wall part of said bottom wall and forms a self-supporting base by the inversion and folding back of said bottom wall.

  • Patent number: 8893851
    Abstract: A soundproofing plate includes a substrate wherein through holes are formed; and sound collecting parts, including through holes in the center, which approximately match the through holes of the substrate, the collecting parts having a shape wherein the diameter increases as the distance from the substrate increases. The sound collecting parts are disposed on both faces of the substrate. Alternatively, a soundproofing plate includes a substrate with a plurality of through holes; and attenuation elements. The attenuation elements include hollow shaft members; and sound collecting parts anchored on the end parts of the hollow shaft members. The sound collecting parts include through holes in the centers which approximately match hollow parts in the hollow shaft members; and have a shape wherein the diameter increases as the distance from the hollow shaft member increases. The hollow shaft members are disposed in the substrate to approximately match the substrate through holes.
