Abstract: A container mold includes: a split mold that has a mold space defining a shape of a body portion of a container; and a bottom mold that has a bottom mold surface defining a shape of a bottom surface of the container and is movable forward and backward with respect to the split mold. The split mold includes a bottom mold reception portion that is communicated with a bottom portion side of the mold space and receives the bottom mold. When the bottom mold is closed with respect to the split mold, a space between a surface of the bottom mold reception portion facing the bottom mold surface and the bottom mold surface is a space that defines a shape of a structure protruding in a radial direction of the container.

Abstract: There is provided a cooling mold for cooling a resin preform that has a gate portion protruding outward from a center of a bottom portion, in which an accommodating space that accommodates the preform is formed in the cooling mold, a bottom region facing the bottom portion of the preform in the accommodating space has a shape following the bottom portion of the preform, and an air sucking hole for sucking air is formed in the bottom region at a position shifted from the center of the bottom portion of the preform.

Abstract: A valve is provided without processing junction sites thereof, in which pipes can infallibly be joined with ease only through the reduction in diameter of a housing to be fastened and, at the same time, the valve has appropriate flexibility relative to the joined pipes and is capable of absorb vibration etc., thereby exhibiting excellent durability. Furthermore, the valve has a diameter-reducible joint part, enables joining the pipes to the opposite sides thereof separately individually and can always maintain high sealability even when the pipes are joined thereto or detached therefrom, thus excelling in cost.

Abstract: A valve having a diameter-reducible joint includes a diameter-reducible housing having a flow path therein and accommodating a seal sleeve formed of rubber, a valve mechanism provided with a valve element and built in the housing to enable switching of the flow path and controlling of a flow rate, and a junction pipe having a junction end joined with the seal sleeve to the diameter-contracted joint in a tightly sealed fashion through diameter reduction of the housing. A plumbing system comprising a pipe that has a terminal and a valve which comprises a diameter-reducible joint part having diameter-enlarging and -reducing functions, a housing having one or both joint portions enlarged and reduced in diameter to join the pipe thereto and a disc disposed within the housing and which is attached to the terminal of the pipe.
