Abstract
A plastic blow molded bottle (10) includes a body portion (16) that extends vertically between a lower base (12) and an upper dispensing end (14) and includes a pair of inwardly extending hand grips (28) with contiguous vertical ribs (34) that extend between a lower end (30) of each hand grip and an upper open end (32) of the hand grip. The vertically ribbed construction of the hand grips (28) with the lower end (30) and the open upper end (32) facilitates manual handling of the bottle, as well as permitting flexing that accommodates for different internal volumes of the bottle in order to permit hot filling.
