  • Publication number: 20220355974
    Abstract: Provided is a synthetic resin container that includes a container main body molded into a predetermined container shape and a covering layer laminated on an outer peripheral surface side of the container main body. A label is mounted on a container body portion. The container main body is provided with a step portion formed by raising or denting a peripheral surface that extends continuously or discontinuously along a predetermined direction and the covering layer is provided with, continuously or discontinuously along the step portion, a linear thin portion that is linearly thinner than a surrounding area. At least part of the label is adhered to a portion of the covering layer adjacent to the linear thin portion.

  • Publication number: 20210323745
    Abstract: Synthetic resin bottle (1) including tube-shaped body section (3) comprises eight decompression absorbing panels (8) disposed at equal intervals in body section (3) and pillar sections (9) respectively disposed between said decompression absorbing panels (8) and formed by arcuate wall surfaces (9a). Arcuate wall surfaces (9a) of pillar sections (9) in a cross section of body section (3) configure parts of one imaginary perfect circle (10). A total of circumferential lengths of arcuate wall surfaces (9a) of pillar sections (9) is 20 to 50% of a total circumferential length of perfect circle (10). Consequently, it is possible to realize the synthetic resin bottle having decompression absorbing performance in order to absorb a decrease in internal pressure, the exterior of the body section of the synthetic resin bottle being seen as a cylindrical shape whose shape is almost the same as that of a perfect circle.

  • Publication number: 20140346717
    Abstract: The invention realizes easy manufacturing of a flat container molded by blow molding, in which the wall thickness of a container wall is made uniform, and which provides improved mechanical strength, heat resistance, etc. and has a good appearance. The flat container obtained by the blow molding of a polyester resin is characterized in that the container has a flatness ratio of not less than 1.3, and in that its body has a wall thickness ratio of a maximum wall thickness to a minimum wall thickness of not more than 1.6, a difference in elongation between a maximally stretched portion and a minimally stretched portion of not more than 150% in a tensile test at 95° C., a crystallinity of not less than 30%, and a difference in TMA non-load change between a maximally stretched portion and a minimally stretched portion of not more than 500 ?m at 75° C. and 100° C.

  • Patent number: 8815354
    Abstract: A process for producing a heat- and pressure-resistant polyester bottle, comprising a primary blow-molding step of obtaining a primary molded article by biaxially stretch-blow-molding a preform of a polyester resin, a heat-treating step of obtaining a secondary molded article that is heat-shrunk by heat-treating the primary molded article, and a secondary blow-molding step of obtaining a finally molded article by biaxially stretch-blow-molding the secondary molded article, wherein the primary blow-molding step biaxially stretches the neck portion of the primary molded article to a size nearly the same as the neck portion of the finally molded article, and the heat-treating step does not cause the neck portion of the secondary molded article to be heat-shrunk.

  • Patent number: 8621829
    Abstract: To provide a thermoplastic resin container that contains food or drink subjected to a retort processing for which completion of the retort processing can be confirmed and supervised with simple means without the need of an expensive member or facility, not only whether the temperature of the retort processing is reached but also whether the retort processing is performed as specified can be confirmed, and the consumer also can easily confirm completion of the retort processing of the product. The container is produced by two-stage stretch blow molding of a preform made of a thermoplastic resin in such a manner a part that is not stretched or is insufficiently stretched is formed at a part of the container, and the part that is not stretched or is insufficiently stretched is whitened to form a retort processing completion confirming part by heating in the retort processing after a content is packed and sealed in the container.
