  • Patent number: 9061458
    Abstract: A forming method, in a mold fitted with a wall forming a cavity, of a container from an intermediate container including at least one lateral protrusion projecting toward the exterior of the container. The method includes a boxing operation of pushing back the lateral protrusion in order to form, by turning it around an articulation zone, a hollow reserve projecting toward the interior of the container and a local cooling operation, after turning the protrusion over, of sweeping a circulation fluid over the articulation zone.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9017594
    Abstract: A forming method, in a mold provided with a wall forming a cavity, of a container from a blank, which includes a boxing operation of pushing back the material of the blank by an insert movably mounted with respect to the wall of the mold between a retracted position in which the insert is retracted into the wall, and a deployed position in which the insert protrudes with respect to the wall, in order to form on the container, by pushing back, a hollow reserve projecting toward the interior of the container. Additionally, a local pressurization operation is performed, after formation of the hollow reserve, of injecting a pressurized fluid between the insert and the hollow reserve.

  • Patent number: 8827689
    Abstract: Device for forming containers from blanks made of plastic material, having a mold provided with a wall defining a cavity intended to receive the blank; a boxing insert mounted movably with respect to the mold between a retracted position in which the insert is retracted into the wall, and an extended position in which the insert projects from the wall toward the interior of the cavity; a plate, on which the insert is rigidly fixed; a support on which the plate is removably mounted; and a system for the quick attachment of the plate to the support.

  • Publication number: 20110309048
    Abstract: Hollow body extending along a principal axis and having a neck provided with a first relief suitable for allowing a predetermined angular indexing of the hollow body around its principal axis with respect to a device for gripping the hollow body. The neck having a second relief, axially offset with respect to the first relief, suitable for allowing a predetermined angular indexing of the hollow body around its principal axis with respect to a second gripping device superimposed on the first one.
