and a plurality of groove parts (31) extending radially from the container-center side toward the outer-peripheral-edge side are formed in the shoulder part (3) so as to extend at least to a position that reaches an upper end edge (UE30) of the hem part (30). ## Claims ### Claim 1 A synthetic resin container, comprising an opening part, a shoulder part, a barrel part and a bottom part, wherein: the shoulder part includes a hem part on a lower end side; the hem part is curved in a convex arcuate shape toward an outside of the container in a longitudinal section, and is connected to the barrel part; the shoulder part is formed in a truncated cone shape and is continued to the hem part while being diameter-expanded, and a position from which a longitudinal section of the shoulder part starts to be curved with the curvature radius of the convex arcuate shaped longitudinal section of the hem part is taken as an upper end edge of the hem part; a plurality of groove parts extending radially from a container-center side toward an outer-peripheral-edge side are formed in the shoulder part; and a terminating end of each groove part of the plurality of groove parts is located in a position projected over the upper end edge of the hem part, and is located in a range without passing over an outer-peripheral edge of the hem part. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The synthetic resin container according to claim 1, wherein a starting end of each groove part of the plurality of groove parts extends to an upper end edge of the shoulder part. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The synthetic resin container according to claim 1, wherein an angle formed between center lines of two groove parts adjacent to each other of the plurality of groove parts in a peripheral direction is 2.5° to 20°. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The synthetic resin container according to claim 1, wherein the barrel part has an annular raised part extending along a peripheral direction, an upper edge side of the annular raised part is raised through an upper edge side first curved part which is formed in a convex arcuate shape toward an inside of the container in a longitudinal section, and an upper edge side second curved part which is formed in a convex arcuate shape toward an outside of the container in the longitudinal section, and simultaneously a lower edge side of the annular raised part is raised through a lower edge side first curved part which is formed in a convex arcuate shape toward an inside of the container in a longitudinal section, and a lower edge side second curved part which is formed in a convex arcuate shape toward an outside of the container in the longitudinal section. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The synthetic resin container according to claim 4, wherein the longitudinal sections of the upper edge side first curved part and the lower edge side first curved part each are formed in an arcuate shape having a curvature radius of 3 to 90 mm. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The synthetic resin container according to claim 4, wherein the longitudinal sections of the upper edge side second curved part and the lower edge side second curved part each are formed in an arcuate shape having a curvature radius of 3 to 90 mm. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The synthetic resin container according to claim 4, wherein a raised height (H1) on the upper edge side of the annular raised part is 0.5 to 5% of a container barrel diameter (D1) in a raised terminating end (γ1) of the upper edge side second curved part. ### Claim 8 (depends on 4) The synthetic resin container according to claim 4, wherein a raised height (H2) on the lower edge side of the annular raised part is 0.5 to 5% of a container barrel diameter (D2) in a raised terminating end (γ2) of the lower edge side second curved part. ### Claim 9 (depends on 4) The synthetic resin container according to claim 4, wherein a raised length (L1) on the upper edge side of the annular raised part and a raised length (L2) on the lower edge side of the annular raised part each are 3 to 18 mm. ### Claim 10 (depends on 4) The synthetic resin container according to claim 4, wherein the annular raised part includes a top surface part which is formed in a linear shape in a longitudinal section. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The synthetic resin container according to claim 10, wherein an annular groove is formed in the top surface part. ### Claim 12 (depends on 4) The synthetic resin container according to claim 4, wherein, on the lower edge side of the annular raised part, a plurality of longitudinal ribs, wherein one end thereof is projected into the lower edge side second curved part over a connected part of the lower edge side first curved part and the lower edge side second curved part, are lined up along an extending direction of the annular raised part. ### Claim 13 (depends on 4) The synthetic resin container according to claim 4, wherein, on the upper edge side of the annular raised part, a plurality of longitudinal ribs, wherein one end thereof is projected into the upper edge side second curved part over a connected part of the upper edge side first curved part and the upper edge side second curved part, are lined up along the extending direction of the annular raised part. ### Claim 14 (depends on 4) The synthetic resin container according to claim 4, wherein horizontal ribs are arranged in parallel along the extending direction of the annular raised part. ### Claim 15 (depends on 4) The synthetic resin container according to claim 4, wherein a longitudinal section shape of the barrel part is formed in a convex arcuate shape toward an inside of a container in a site connected to at least the annular raised part.
