Abstract
A thin-walled laminated synthetic resin body for a liquid container according to the invention comprises first and second thin-walled synthetic resin layers ( ), each having a curved surface portion ( ) and a projection ( ) extending outwardly from a predetermined region at an edge of the curved surface portion ( ). The first and second layers ( ) are laminated to each other with the curved surface portions ( ) bulging out in the same direction, are integrated with each other at the edges ( ) of the curved surface portions ( ) and projections ( ), and are separable from each other at regions exclusive of the edges ( ). When a liquid is charged, the curved surface portion ( ) of one of the first and second layers ( ) is separated from the curved surface portion ( ) of the other layer ( ) and reversed. By this, the curved surface portions bulge out in the opposite directions to define an inner space between the curved surface portions ( ) for containing a liquid. The laminated body has a high freedom degree of design of the container shape, can be readily formed into desired three-dimensional shape depending upon various applications, and can be manufactured simply and at low cost with conventional production system.
