[0021] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below through examples and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the specification, the same or similar figure numbers indicate the same or similar parts. The following description of the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings is intended to explain the overall utility model concept of the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0022] In addition, in the detailed description below, for ease of explanation, many specific details are set forth to provide a comprehensive understanding of the disclosed embodiments. However, it is apparent that one or more embodiments may be implemented without these specific details. In other cases, known structures and devices are embodied in a schematic manner to simplify the accompanying drawings.

[0023] According to an overall technical concept of the present disclosure, a container for holding liquid is provided, comprising a container body and a drainage joint, wherein the drainage joint can detachably close the container body, and the drainage joint comprises a drainage nozzle protruding from the drainage joint, and is characterized in that the container body comprises a holding portion and a flat portion which are recessed from the outside of the container to the inside, the flat portion and the holding portion are respectively located on both sides of the drainage nozzle of the drainage joint, and the flat portion is directly opposite to the holding portion.

[0024] The container provided by the present disclosure can be used to package a variety of liquid products. The container of the present invention can hold the following products: cleaning products, disinfectants, dishwashing combinations, laundry detergents, fabric conditioners, fabric dyes, surface protectants, hair care products, foods, beverages, medicines, supplements, automotive products, aviation products, etc.

[0025] The container according to the present invention interacts with the hand when in use. When the user wants to pick up the container, the hand will extend toward the recessed holding portion of the container. Naturally, the thumb and the remaining four fingers of the hand will clamp the thinnest part of the container, that is, near the deepest part of the recess, wherein the thumb spans the part between the holding portion and the flat portion and extends all the way to the flat portion, while pressing against the flat portion. The remaining four fingers of the hand, namely the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger, are placed in the recessed holding portion, and the index finger rests under the shoulder of the container, so that the container can be easily clamped and lifted. When the user needs to pour the container, the thumb naturally clasps the flat portion, and with the ergonomic movement of the wrist, the liquid in the container is poured in the optimal drainage direction.

[0026] Figure 1-3 Three elevational views showing a container according to the present disclosure when placed upright; and Figure 4 A bottom elevation view of a container according to the present disclosure is shown.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a container for holding liquid includes a container body 100 and a drainage joint 200, wherein the drainage joint 200 detachably closes the container body 100, and the drainage joint 200 includes a drainage nozzle 201 protruding from the drainage joint 200. The container body 100 includes a gripping portion 101 that is recessed from the outside of the container to the inside, and a flat portion 102, wherein the flat portion 102 and the gripping portion 101 are respectively located on both sides of the container. For example, the flat portion 102 and the gripping portion 101 can be located on both sides of the drainage nozzle 201 of the drainage joint 200. The flat portion 102 is directly opposite to the gripping portion 101. The flat portion 102 is used to adhere a label, and the label is printed with relevant information of the contained product, such as the name, trademark, ingredients, method of use, place of production, place of sale, etc. of the product. The hand holds the gripping portion 101 and the flat portion 102 at the same time to achieve the pouring action of the container.

[0028] Due to the specific drainage direction, only when the container is held correctly can the liquid in the container be smoothly guided and will not escape from the drainage spout and overflow to other undesirable places. This makes it more difficult for a person's hand to quickly and optimally hold the container. However, in the embodiment of the utility model, due to the combination arrangement of the above-mentioned holding portion and the flat portion and the drainage spout, the user can quickly determine the correct pouring direction of the container only by the touch of the unique shape of the container body with the hand, without having to carefully observe the position of the drainage spout. This is particularly convenient for visually impaired people or users who are accustomed to pouring liquids at will. Figure 3As shown, the drainage spout 201 has an open drainage channel 202, and the bottom of the drainage channel 202 is located on the middle surface between the flat portion 102 and the holding portion 101. The relative position between the drainage spout 201 and the holding portion 101 can enable the hand to achieve optimal drainage of the drainage connector 200 when holding the container.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the ratio of the height h2 of the deepest part A of the gripping portion 101 to the height h1 of the container body 100 is 0.5:1 to 0.8:1, and the preferred value is 0.625:1. The height h1 of the container body 100 is defined as the vertical distance between the shoulder 103 and the base 104 of the container body 100 when the container body 100 is placed vertically on a horizontal plane. The height h2 of the deepest part A is defined as the vertical distance between the deepest part A and the base 104 when the container body 100 is placed vertically on a horizontal plane. In the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the container body 100, the ratio of the depth d2 of the deepest part A of the gripping portion 101 to the overall width d1 of the container in the same direction is 1:4.5 to 1:7, and the preferred value is 1:5.7. The overall width d1 of the container is defined as the maximum horizontal width of the base of the container body 100 when the container body 100 is placed vertically on a horizontal plane. The depth d2 of the deepest recess A is defined as the horizontal distance between the widest position of the base of the container body 100 and the deepest position A when the container body 100 is placed vertically on a horizontal plane. Experiments show that when the size of the recess is designed in this way, the best compromise between the shape and stability of the container can be achieved. In addition, the position of the most recessed part is close to the golden section point of the height, which also makes the design of the recess aesthetically pleasing.

[0030] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the container body 100 further comprises a shoulder 103 and a base 104 which are connected to the gripping portion 101 in one piece. The shoulder 103 is arranged at the highest point of the container body 100, and the base 104 is arranged at the lowest point of the gripping portion 101 on the side away from the drainage joint 200. The deepest part A of the gripping portion 101 which is recessed inward is closer to the shoulder 103 than to the base 104. The gripping portion 101 is connected to the shoulder 103, and a streamlined arc surface is formed between the deepest part A of the gripping portion 101 and the shoulder 103. A streamlined arc surface is formed between the deepest part A of the gripping portion 101 and the base 104.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, the slope α1 of the portion of the surface of the grip portion 101 extending from the deepest part A to the shoulder 103 is greater than the slope α2 of the portion of the surface of the grip portion 101 extending from the deepest part A to the base 104. The slope α1 is defined as the angle between the section passing through the deepest part A and the portion extending from the deepest part A to the shoulder 103 and the vertical plane, and the slope α2 is defined as the angle between the section passing through the deepest part A and the portion extending from the deepest part A to the base 104 and the vertical plane. This design makes the portion above the deepest part A suitable for placing the index finger of the hand, and the portion below the deepest part A suitable for placing the middle finger, ring finger and little finger of the hand side by side.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, in a cross section perpendicular to the central axis, the curvature of the flat portion 102 is smaller than that of other portions of the container. The flat portion 102 is used for attaching a label.

[0033] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the flat portion 102 is in the shape of an elongated strip, extending from the shoulder 103 to the base 104. In this way, the area of ​​the flat portion 102 can be as large as possible so that more information can be printed on the pasted label.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the container body 100 further includes a transparent window 105, which is in the shape of a long strip and extends from the shoulder 103 to the base 104. The transparent window 105 is arranged between the flat portion 102 and the grip portion 101 in the circumferential direction of the container, and is arranged in parallel with the flat portion 102. The transparent window 105 is integrally formed in the container body 100. The transparent window 105 is a very thin narrow strip, so that the liquid surface is displayed as a dot in the transparent window 105, so as to facilitate the identification of the liquid level height.

[0035] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the shoulder 103, the base 104, the gripping portion 101, the flat portion 102, and the transparent window 105 of the container body 100 are smoothly connected. The smooth connection of each part facilitates comfortable gripping by hand, and cracks due to sharp corners are not likely to occur even if a large collision occurs.

[0036] The container for holding liquid provided according to the aforementioned various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure has the advantages that the container body has a unique shape, conforms to the ergonomics of the hand, is easy to hold, and can achieve the best drainage direction when held. The container body has a unique transparent window that can intuitively display the remaining amount of liquid inside the container.
