Abstract: Disclosed is a container for storing product, a process and apparatus for making that container, a process and apparatus for drawing and blow forming plastic into a paperboard outer container and a process and apparatus for heat sealing a container. The container comprises a paperboard outer container and a plastic inner container which has been drawn and blow formed into the outer container. At the mouth of the container are horizontal plastic flanges which extend about the periphery of the container at least about 1/8 inch outwardly from the plastic inner container. Vertical flanges extend downwardly at least about 1/8 inch from the horizontal flanges. After product is placed in the container, the container is sealed by a heat sealable cover. A plastic overcap may be provided which engagedly fits around the container at its top.

Abstract: A mounting sleeve having at one end a parison forming extension, and a stem shiftable within the sleeve and extension to open and close the same to passing fluid.

Abstract: An improved apparatus which allows for uniform axial stretch rate and careful temperature control in the production of biaxially oriented plastic containers having uniform wall thickness and good clarity.

Abstract: A blow pin assembly for blowmolding plastic containers is disclosed. The assembly includes threads and an annular shoulder for molding a threaded bunghole with a flat sealing surface. The annular shoulder is provided by the bottom end of a cylindrical sleeve which fits over the main body of the blow pin. A narrow gap is defined between the main body and the sleeve, which provides a vent for air that otherwise gets captured between the parison and the main body.

Abstract: A blow mold for the production of bellows of the type made of a highly elastic plastic. The blow mold is constructed from individual level-parallel disks which form the level of the outer apexes of two adjacent folds and by forming a slot from each pair of adjacent disks which ends at the outer apex and wherein the slot serves to vent air.

Abstract: An apparatus for injection molding synthetic resin materials comprises means for injecting the material to be molded, mold means having a cavity for receiving the material from said injecting means, entrance passage means connecting said injecting means with the cavity of said mold means and valve means disposed in said entrance passage means for closing it to shut off the flow of material in said entrance passage means, said valve means having a fluid passage communicating at its one end with only the cavity of said mold means when said valve means is closed, said fluid passage having the opposite end thereof adapted to connect with another source of pressurized fluid.

Abstract: A resin pipe joint is formed having a groove on the internal surface thereof adapted for receiving a seal. The mold for forming the pipe joint includes an external split mold and an internal mold core and sleeve with parts slidable relative to one another so that the elements form a space therebetween for injecting resin therein. Subsequently, while the injected resin is still in an unhardened state, the movable parts are moved to a second position relative to one another thereby providing an annular opening surrounding the resin body formed during the resin injecting step. A pressurized fluid is jetted through a passageway towards the internal periphery of the resin body to cause said resin body to bulge into the annular space thereby creating the internal groove or exteranl bulge in the resin body.

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a hollow plastic molded article wherein a unit parison is accommodated in a metal mold and pressurized gas is admitted into the unit parison for blow molding the same, pressurized gas is ejected to the outside of the wall of the unit parison for forming an inlet port through the wall thereby blowing the pressurized gas into the unit parison through the inlet port thereby blow molding the unit parison.

Abstract: A novel procedure for circulating blowing air through an injection blow molded article during the blow cooling cycle of an injection molding process is described. The technique involves the use of a new core rod assembly which permits internal circulation of cool air during the blow cooling cycle of the process. The described assembly may also be used for reconditioning itself by the use of heated air, so avoiding the phenomenon of core rod freeze-up.

Abstract: A continuous motion stretch blow molding apparatus for blow molding hollow articles from tubular parisons. A rotary parison loading turret loads parisons sequentially onto a plurality of stretch pin means operatively carried on a continuous motion transfer means which then conveys each of said stretch pin means into an operative position in a molding station on a continuous motion multi-station rotary molding turret. The parisons are stretched longitudinally, blown to form a final article, cooled in the molding stations, and then said article is ejected.

Abstract: This invention relates to blow molding apparatus for making plastic articles. It circulates cooling fluid through core rods for cooling blown articles from the inside, preferably with the blown article on the outside of a balloon that is permanently connected with the core rod. The connection of the balloon to the core rod is constructed so that there is no axial pull on the balloon during stripping of the blown article from the core rod and balloon. The invention provides constructions for admitting air between the balloon and a blown parison to break the vacuum when the balloon is to be collapsed. Fluid is also circulated over the outside of the blown parison to cool it, and this can be done in a perforated shroud that serves as a blowing mold, particularly for flexible wall containers.

Abstract: A stretch blow molding method for blow molding hollow articles from tubular parisons, and a molding apparatus for carrying out the method. The method includes mounting a tubular parison having a closed end and an open end on a stretch pin means with the closed end in the upper position, and then moving the stretch pin means into an open multi-section molding apparatus. The stretch pin means is then operated to stretch the parison to a predetermined length with the mold halves in an open position. The mold halves are closed after said stretching operation and blow air under pressure is introduced into the parison near the neck portion to blow the parison into molding contact with the closed multi-section mold apparatus. After the molds are opened the article is ejected by air exiting from the tip of the stretch pin near the base of the article.

Abstract: In a blow molding machine a tubular parison is extruded around a blow pin, a two-part mold is closed and the parison is expanded by air pressure against the internal wall of the mold. Each mold half at its top neck carries a sealing member comprising a first insert, which is a shear insert, in the form of an approximately flat one-half ring to sever the parison against the blow pin; a second insert, which is a seal insert, in the form of a flat approximately one-half ring, to seal the parison against the blow pin; and a base member, in the form of an approximately one-half ring, having an inverted shelf to locate and support the shear and seal inserts.

Abstract: Blow-molding apparatus for the fabrication of hollow bodies from thermoplastic material, wherein a pre-cast element positioned on a blow pipe receives its finished shape in a hollow mold by blowing compressed air through the pipe.
