  However, in the above-described conventional bottle container with a handle, when the depressed portion for abutting the thumb is formed at a position on the axis extension line of the handle part, the remaining amount of the contents in the bottle container is reduced. There is a problem that it becomes difficult to pour into. This is because it is difficult to largely tilt the bottle container in the operation of tilting the bottle container to the front side as in the conventional bottle container.

  In addition, in the operation of tilting the bottle container to the front side as in the conventional bottle container described above, it is difficult to finely adjust the tilt degree of the bottle container, and when pouring the contents in the bottle container, the pouring amount is finely adjusted. There is a problem that is difficult.

  The present invention takes the above-mentioned conventional problems into consideration, and even when the remaining amount of the contents in the bottle container is small, the contents can be easily poured, and the contents in the bottle container The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bottle container with a handle that allows easy adjustment of the pouring amount.

The bottle container with a handle according to the present invention is a bottle container with a handle provided with a handle portion extending from the bottle bottom side toward the bottle mouth side on the bottle body, and on the outer wall surface of the bottle body, A first depressed part for fingertip contact is formed at a position closer to the bottle mouth side than the handle part and shifted from the axial extension line of the handle part in the bottle circumferential direction, and is formed on the outer wall surface of the bottle body. Is characterized in that the second depressed portion for fingertip contact is formed at a position on the bottle mouth side of the handle portion and on an axis extension line of the handle portion .

With such a feature, the bottle container is held in a state in which the grip portion is gripped by a finger other than the thumb, and the thumb is brought into contact with the first depressed portion located at a position shifted in the circumferential direction of the bottle from the axial extension line of the handle portion. The contents in the bottle container are poured by tilting the side to the side (direction perpendicular to the attachment surface of the handle). At this time, the bottle container rotates to the side surface side, and the bottle body is supported by the thumb that is in contact with the first depression.
In addition, when the remaining amount of the contents in the bottle container is large and heavy, grip the handle with a finger other than the thumb and place the thumb on the second concavity located on the axis extension line of the handle. In the abutted state, the bottle body is pressed with its thumb and the bottle container is tilted to the front side, whereby the contents in the bottle container are poured. On the other hand, when the remaining amount of the contents in the bottle container has decreased, as described above, the grip part is gripped by a finger other than the thumb, and the position shifted from the axis extension line of the handle part in the bottle circumferential direction. The contents in the bottle container are poured by inclining the bottle container to the side face while the thumb is in contact with the first depressed portion.

  Further, in the bottle container with a handle according to the present invention, the bottle main body has a polygonal shape in the cross-sectional view of the bottle, and the bottle outer wall surface on which the first depression is formed has the bottle main body in the cross-sectional view of the bottle. It is preferable to incline with respect to a plane passing through the axis of the handle and the axis of the handle.

  Thereby, even if the first depressed portion has a simple shape symmetrical in the lateral direction, for example, approximately hemispherical, the belly portion of the thumb fits into the first depressed portion. In other words, in order to fit the abdomen of the thumb to the first depression, the first depression has an asymmetric shape (for example, one side portion of the first depression portion in the lateral direction is deeper than the other portion. There is no need to change the shape.

  In the bottle container with a handle according to the present invention, it is preferable that the first depressed portion is formed on both sides of an extension of the axis of the handle portion.

  As a result, when grasping with the right hand, the bottle container is tilted with the thumb in contact with the first depression on the left side as seen from the rear side of the bottle container (the attachment surface side of the handle part). Things are poured. On the other hand, when grasping with the left hand, the bottle container is tilted and contents are poured while the thumb is in contact with the first depressed portion on the right side as viewed from the rear side of the bottle container.

According to the bottle container with a handle according to the present invention, the bottle container can be easily and greatly tilted, so that the contents can be poured easily even when the remaining amount of the contents in the bottle container is small. There is an effect.
Moreover, when pouring the content in a bottle container, there exists an effect that it becomes easy to perform fine adjustment of pouring amount.
Furthermore, it can also be used stably with the thumb and index finger in contact with the first depressions on both sides.

Has been. The handle portion 42 extends substantially parallel to the vertical wall 23 at a position spaced from the distal end surface 30b of the mounting convex portion 30 to the outside in the bottle radial direction (right side in FIG. 2).

  Next, the operation of the bottle container 1 with a handle having the above-described configuration will be described.

  First, when the amount X of the contents X in the bottle container 1 with a handle is large and heavy, as shown in FIG. 5A, the handle portion 42 is grasped with a finger other than the thumb and the thumb is moved to the second depressed portion 26B. The upper part of the bottle main body 10 is pressed with the thumb to tilt the bottle container 1 with a handle toward the front side. As a result, the content X in the bottle body 10 flows out from the mouth portion 14. At this time, force is applied to the thumb abutted against the second depressed portion 26B, and the bottle container 1 with a handle rotates to the front side.

  On the other hand, when the remaining amount X of the contents X in the bottle container 1 with a handle is small and light, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the handle portion 42 is grasped with a finger other than the thumb and the thumb is placed on the first depressed portion 26A. The bottle container 1 with a handle is tilted to the side surface side in a state where the is in contact. As a result, the content X in the bottle body 10 flows out from the mouth portion 14. At this time, the bottle container 1 with a handle rotates to the side surface side, and the bottle body 10 is supported by the thumb that is in contact with the first depressed portion 26A.

When the bottle container 1 with a handle is gripped with the right hand as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the thumb is brought into contact with the first depressed portion 26A on the left side as viewed from the rear side of the bottle, and on the contrary, the bottle container with the handle When gripping 1 with the left hand, the thumb is brought into contact with the first depressed portion 26A on the right side as viewed from the rear side of the bottle.
Further, the first recessed portion 26A located at a position shifted from the handle shaft O in the bottle circumferential direction has a symmetrical shape when viewed from the outside in the bottle radial direction, but on a plane P passing through the bottle shaft L and the handle shaft O. Since the first depressed portion 26A is formed on the first rear corner wall surface 21e inclined with respect to the first depressed corner wall surface 21e, the belly portion of the thumb fits into the first depressed portion 26A.

  According to the bottle container 1 with a handle as described above, when the bottle container 1 with a handle is tilted to the side, as shown in FIG. Since the bottle body 10 is supported by the thumb in contact, the bottle container 1 with a handle can be easily and greatly tilted. Thereby, even if it is a case where the residual amount of the content X in the bottle main body 10 is small, the content X can be poured easily.

  In addition, when the bottle container 1 with a handle is tilted to the side, the bottle body 10 is supported by the thumb that is in contact with the first recessed portion 26A. Easy to make fine adjustments. Thereby, excessive pouring of the content X etc. can be prevented.

  In addition, since the first depressed portion 26A having a symmetrical shape fits the belly portion of the thumb, the first depressed portion 26A does not need to be asymmetrical, and the bottle body 10 can be easily formed. If the bottle body 10 is circular in cross-sectional view, or if the first depressed portion 26A is formed on the outer wall surface of the bottle orthogonal or parallel to the plane P passing through the bottle axis L and the handle axis O, The first depressed portion 26A has a shape in which one side portion in the lateral direction is shallower than the other side portion, that is, the most depressed portion of the first depressed portion 26A is located from the center position of the first depressed portion 26A. It is difficult to fit the abdomen portion of the thumb unless it is formed in a shape that is shifted. In this way, if a depressed portion having an asymmetric shape is formed, there is a possibility that the moldability is inferior.

  In addition, since the first depressed portion 26A located at a position shifted from the handle shaft O and the second depressed portion 26B located at the position on the handle shaft O are formed, the remaining amount of the contents of the bottle container is small. In addition, the contents can be easily poured even when the remaining amount of contents in the bottle container is large and heavy.

  Further, since the first depressed portion 26A is formed on both the left and right sides with the handle shaft O interposed therebetween, the contents can be easily removed with either the right hand or the left hand when the remaining amount of the contents of the bottle container is small. Can be poured into. In addition, the thumb is brought into contact with the first depressed portion 26A, the index finger is brought into contact with the other first depressed portion 26A, and the handle portion 42 is gripped with the other fingers and used stably. You can also.

As mentioned above, although embodiment of the bottle container with a handle concerning this invention was described, this invention is not limited to above-described embodiment, In the range which does not deviate from the meaning, it can change suitably.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the handle member 40 having the handle portion 42 and the bottle body 10 are separated from each other, and the handle body 40 is attached to the mounting convex portion 30 of the bottle body 10, whereby the bottle body 10 is provided with a handle portion 42 (handle portion), but the present invention may be configured such that the bottle body and the handle portion are integrally formed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the lower body portion 22 has an octagonal shape in cross section and the upper body portion 21 has an octagonal shape in cross section. The planar view shape can be changed as appropriate. For example, it may be a bottle body having a hexagonal shape in cross section, and the cross section view shape of the bottle body may be another polygonal shape. Furthermore, according to the present invention, the cross-sectional view shape of the bottle body can be a shape other than a polygon such as a circle.

  In the above-described embodiment, the rear wall surface 21b extending in the direction orthogonal to the plane P passing through the bottle axis L and the handle axis O, respectively, in the bottle cross-sectional view, is formed with the first depressed portion 26A. Although formed between the first rear corner wall surfaces 21e and 21e on both sides, the present invention does not have the rear wall surface 21b, and the side ends of the first rear corner wall surfaces 21e and 21e on both sides are connected to each other. It may be a bottle body having a different shape. In this case, the second depressed portion 26B may be formed across the first rear corner wall surfaces 21e, 21e on both sides.

  In the embodiment described above, the first depressed portion 26A is formed on each of the left and right sides of the handle shaft O as viewed from the rear side of the bottle, and the second depressed portion 26B is interposed between the first depressed portions 26A and 26A. However, in the present invention, the first depressed portion 26A can be formed only on either the left or right side, and the middle second depressed portion 26B is not formed. Is also possible.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the first recessed portion 26A is formed on the first rear corner wall surface 21e inclined with respect to the plane P passing through the bottle axis L and the handle axis O in the bottle cross-sectional view. However, in the present invention, the first recessed portion 26A may be formed on the outer wall surface orthogonal to or parallel to the plane P in the bottle cross-sectional view, or the arc-shaped outer wall surface may be the first. A configuration in which the depressed portion 26A is formed is also possible.

  In addition, in the range which does not deviate from the main point of this invention, it is possible to replace suitably the component in above-mentioned embodiment with a well-known component, and you may combine the above-mentioned modification suitably.
