Patent number: 11267184Abstract: An apparatus for forming a container from a preform and delivering a predetermined volume of a liquid end product, formed by the addition of first and second liquid products, into the container. The apparatus includes a heating oven to heat the preform, a mold defining a cavity in the shape of the container, a stretch member coupled to an actuator to stretch the preform in the mold, an injection head configured to inject the second liquid product through the mouth of the preform so as to cause expansion of the preform within the mold thereby obtaining the container, and a preform filler to at least partially fill the preform with the first liquid prior to injecting of the second liquid product and before expanding of the preform into the container.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2020Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: Discma AGInventors: Guillaume Chauvin, Christophe Collin, Damien Kannengiesser, Jean-Tristan Outreman, Jean-Louis Pellegatta

Patent number: 6761556Abstract: The invention relates to a system of conveyance for a blowing installation for thermoplastic containers, comprising a series of conveyor elements (24) which are fitted with a gripper device (26, 28), whereby each gripper device can move in an axial direction in relation to the conveyor element (24) on which it is borne in order to become axially engaged on the neck (12) of the blank (10). An external radial collar (14) enables said blank (10) to rest upon a bearing surface (23). The invention is characterized in that each conveyor element (24) comprises a stabilizer (34) which can move in an axial direction from a high retracted position to a low position in order to bear upon the blank (10) so that it can be pressed against the bearing surface (23) before the gripper device (26, 28) engages with the collar (12).Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2002Date of Patent: July 13, 2004Assignee: SidelInventors: Jean-Louis Pellegatta, Bruno Galloni
