A resin container has a bottom structure which has a central recessed portion containing substantially no crystal, a marginal raised portion crystallized by molecular orientation, and an intermediate ring-shaped portion crystallized to have spherulite-like crystals. The bottom structure highly improves the heat-resistance at the intermediate portion, while maintaining the central recessed portion at a good impact-resistance.

Biaxially oriented crystalline resin container and process of making the

A heat-resistant container forming method includes a step of thermally shrinking a primary blow molded article in a heating furnace before secondary blow molding the primary blow molded article into a final product or container. Into the furnace, hot air which flows along the longitudinal direction of the first blow molded article and whose temperature enough to facilitate crystallization of the primary blow molded article. The primary blow molded article is thermally shrunk by exposing the entire circumferential surface of a barrel of the primary blow article to the hot air and by blowing the hot air longitudinally along the primary blow molded article to heat the barrel circumferentially uniformly. Since hot air touches the barrel as flowing longitudinally thereof, it is possible to increase the heat conductivity of boundary film of the primary blow molded article, without increasing the hot air temperature too high, so that temperature rise of the primary blow molded article is facilitated.

Method for forming heat-resistant containers

A method of producing a blow-molded PET container suitable for hot-filling includes the steps of injection molding a preform, blow-molding the preform into a primary molded article larger than the desired final container, heating the primary article in a series of oven chambers while its mouth is sealed so that pressure builds within the article to thereby control shrinkage, and blow-molding the shrunken article into the desired container. The two molds are preferably heated, and the mold contact time is as long as allowed by the manufacturing process to help remove internal stresses in the article. An apparatus for carrying out the method includes a first machine having an injection station, a thermal conditioning station, a primary blow-molding station, and an exit station. A second machine includes the oven chambers and a final blow-molding station. The primary article is sealed by a cap member that has a pressure relief valve connected to it to limit the internal pressure during heating, an air supply passage for final blow-molding, and a tensioning rod for insertion into the primary article and engaging a pocket in the center of the article's bottom. In some applications, it is necessary to stiffen the neck, particularly when hot-filling at about 200.degree. F. or higher, or when using a closure roll-on die or a lugged neck finish to apply a bottle cap to the final container.

Apparatus for manufacturing biaxially oriented, thermally stable blown

A plastic vessel preform includes a neck portion having an outer layer formed by an insert piece (20) which includes a thread portion (22a) and a support ring (28). The support ring (28) includes a bond reinforcing portion (36) integrally formed therein in a direction perpendicular to the axis or the preform body (34). The bond reinforcing portion (36) strengthens the radial bond in the insert piece (20) so that the mechanical strength at the neck portion (32) of the preform (30) can be greatly increased.

Apparatus for forming a heat-resistant container

In a method of molding a heat resistant container whose bottom has an inwardly raised part, firstly a preform is primary blow molded to form a primary blow molded article which is greater at least in length than the container to be obtained as a final product. Then the primary blow molded article is heat shrunk. This heat shrinking is restricted in such a manner that the length of the heat shrunk primary blow molded article from its top to its bottom center is greater than the length of the final product from its top to a peak of the raised part. Then at least the central region of the bottom of the heat shrunk primary blow molded article is inwardly pushed within a secondary blow cavity mold having a bottom mold by vertically moving the bottom mold. Finally in the secondary blow cavity mold, the resulting product is secondary blow molded so that the heel of a heat resistant container, as the final product, has a desired thickness.

Heat resistant container molding method

A method of manufacturing a heat resistant plastic vessel including: injection molding a preform; primary stretch blow molding the preform to obtain a primary blow-mold object; heat-shrinking the primary blow-mold object; and secondary stretch blow molding the heat-shrunk object to obtain a secondary blow-mold object as a heat-resistant plastic vessel. In the primary stretch blow molding process, a concavity is formed on a body of the primary blow-mold object. The concavity has a thickness larger than the other body portion. In the heat-shrunk object, the large thickness portion has a lower heat retaining capacity than the other body portion. The heat-shrunk object then undergoes the secondary stretch blow molding process, thereby obtaining the secondary blow-mold object, which has a large thickness portion corresponding to the concavity of the primary blow-mold object to assure high mechanical strength such as buckling strength of the final product.
