  • Patent number: 11426919
    Abstract: Blow moulding a container, including extruding a tube shaped, hollow, elongated parison from an extrusion head having one free end; and closing a moulding equipment around the parison. The moulding equipment includes a moulding cavity and at least one aperture providing an opening into the moulding cavity from outside the moulding equipment. An excess section of the parison is arranged inside the at least one aperture. The free end of the parison is kept in place in the moulding equipment opposite the at least one aperture. The method includes holding the excess section of the parison within the at least one aperture via a holding force; cutting the parison outside the equipment, thereby providing an open end; arranging a blow pin to close the open end of the parison; and blowing pressurised gas from the blow pin into the parison, thereby forming a blow moulded container within the moulding cavity.

  • Patent number: 9689531
    Abstract: A composite pressure container for fluids includes a pressure container, a boss (1), and a coupling or valve member (5) fitted in an opening in the boss. The pressure container includes an inner fluid-tight liner layer (4) and a pressure supporting layer (3) formed by winding fiber-reinforcement onto the liner layer. The boss is positioned in a central opening of the pressure container. The structure of the boss comprises a depressurization passage for preventing build-up of internal pressure inside the boss.

  • Patent number: 7656642
    Abstract: The invention relates to a means for preventing build-up of electrostatic potential in a fluid container during filling and/or discharging. The fluid container comprises electrical insulating materials and a valve means through which filling and/or discharging occurs. Means for reducing and/or eliminating electrical and/or electrostatic potential build-up during filling or discharging of the container is arranged in conjunction with the container walls. Such means may for example be arranged in conjunction with the valve means, reducing and/or changing the flow velocity of the fluid and/or the flow direction of the fluid during the filling operation.
