Publication number: 20050139566Abstract: The purpose of this invention is to set the position of the gas barrier layer in such a manner as to solve the problem of decreased accuracy of neck molding dimensions created by the thermal crystallization and the problem of interlaminar separation in the bottom, both of which are associated with the provision of the gas barrier layer. Problems should be solved without being affected by the displacement of the gas barrier layer, which may take place during the co-injection operation of the PET resin layers and the gas barrier layer. A biaxially drawn, blow-molded bottle and its preform comprise at least a layer of a gas barrier material 3 laminated inside the PET resin layers 2, a functional portion 5 having a screw thread 8 raised spirally in the upper portion of neck 4 and also having a stop ring 6 disposed under the screw thread 8, and a neck ring 7 disposed at the lower end of the neck 4.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2003Publication date: June 30, 2005Applicant: YOSHINO KOGYOSHO CO., LTD.Inventors: Daisuke Uesugi, Akio Hashimoto, Masato Suzuki, Hiromi Shimura
