  • Patent number: 8652390
    Abstract: In supplying a predetermined amount of a molten resin D between an upper mold 10 and a lower mold 20 for compression molding, after the upper mold 10 is moved downward for a predetermined stroke length so that it approaches the lower mold 20 in which the molten resin D has been supplied, a compression load is applied while moving the lower mold 20 upward and supporting the upper mold 10 such that clamping is conducted against the compression load which has been applied to the lower mold 20. As a result, when molding a molded article in a predetermined shape by compression molding, if molds are allowed to open with a sufficient stroke length for taking a molded article out, prolongation of molding cycle can be effectively prevented, whereby a molded product in a predetermined shape can be mass-produced.

  • Publication number: 20140034600
    Abstract: A synthetic resin container includes a bottom part having a bottom plate part present at the center of the bottom part and a peripheral part positioned at the periphery of the bottom plate part. The peripheral part includes a grounding part having an inside slope rising outwardly of the container with the outer peripheral edge of the bottom plate part being a start point, and an outside slope continuing to the side surface of the bottom part. When a load is applied in the axial direction in the state where the container stands upright on the grounding surface, the shape of the bottom part changes reversibly such that the bottom plate part is depressed inwardly to the container. Thus, it is possible to avoid deformation of the container into an unintended shape if a load is applied to the container in the axial direction, and to ensure the rigidity thereof.

  • Patent number: 8592522
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide an oxygen-absorbing resin composition having a high oxygen absorbability and capable of absorbing oxygen for a long period of time. The present invention provides an oxygen-absorbing resin composition comprising polyolefin resin (A) obtained by polymerizing an olefin having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, resin (B) which is other than resin (A) and which acts as a trigger for the oxidation of resin (A), and transition metal catalyst (C), wherein resin (B) is dispersed in the matrix of resin (A) so that the oxidation reaction of matrix resin (A) is caused and thus oxygen is absorbed when the oxygen-absorbing resin composition is brought into contact with oxygen. This oxygen absorbing resin composition has a high oxygen absorbability and is advantageous in cost because oxygen is absorbed in resin (A).
