PLASTIC CONTAINER HAVING REINFORCED GRIPPING STRUCTURE

摘要

591325 A plastic container (10) includes a generally cylindrical main body (16) portion having a longitudinal axis. At least one gripping recess is defined in the main body portion and that is defined in part by a curved concave inner surface when viewed in side elevation. The gripping recess includes first and second horizontal indentations (26, 28), each of which is sized to receive a finger of a consumer when the plastic container is being gripped by the consumer. The first horizontal indentation (26) extends a shorter horizontal distance than the second horizontal indentation (28). The gripping recess further comprises a convexly curved projection (36) as viewed in horizontal cross-section located between the first horizontal indentation and the second horizontal indentation.
