A biaxially oriented plastic blow molded bottle (10) has a domed upper dispensing end (12), a lower freestanding base (14) about whose central hub (24) legs (26) and ribs (28) alternate, and a round body portion (16) with an inwardly extending annular grip (32) constructed to facilitate manual grasp

A biaxially oriented plastic blow molded bottle (10) has a domed upper dispensing end (12), a lower freestanding base (14) about whose central hub (24) legs (26) and ribs (28) alternate, and a round body portion (16) with an inwardly extending annular grip (32) constructed to facilitate manual grasping of the bottle. The body portion (16)has the same diameter D above and below the annular grip (32). The annular grip (32) includes upper and lower ends (34,36) that extend outwardly with curved shapes with the upper end having a more abrupt curvature than the lower end. An intermediate portion (38) of the annular grip extends between the upper and lower ends with an inwardly curved shape that is less abrupt than the upper end (34) but more abrupt than the lower end (38). In one embodiment, the bottle (10.sub.tag) has its annular grip (32.sub.tag) provided with a textured outer surface (33) that facilitates gripping of the bottle.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A biaxially oriented plastic blow molded bottle comprising:an upper dispensing end including an upper dome and a dispensing spout that extends upwardly from the upper dome and has a closure retainer;a lower freestanding base including a central hub as well as hollow legs and curved ribs positioned around the hub in an alternating relationship such that the legs support the bottle in an upright position on a suitable horizontal support surface; anda round body portion that extends vertically between the upper dispensing end and the lower freestanding base, said round body portion having a generally cylindrical shape with a diameter D and also having an annular grip that extends inwardly from the cylindrical shape with a minimum diameter D.sub.g that is less than 0.85 of the diameter D, the body portion having the same diameter D above and below the annular grip, the annular grip including upper and lower ends having outwardly curved shapes with the upper end thereof having a more abrupt curvature than the lower end thereof, and the annular grip also having an intermediate portion that extends between the upper and lower ends thereof with an inwardly curved shape that defines the minimum diameter D.sub.g above the midpoint of the height of the body portion between the upper dispensing end and the lower freestanding base.
