  • Patent number: 9610724
    Abstract: A preform-molding device has a nozzle section including three cylindrical layer-forming flow channels, which include an inner flow channel and an outer flow channel for forming the substrate layers of the main resin, and a middle flow channel for forming the intermediate layer, and also includes a predetermined number of vertical blocking rib pieces disposed at a downstream end of the middle flow channel, in parallel in the circumferential direction, so that the intermediate layer would be segmented in the circumferential direction into a predetermined number of vertically running streams, wherein flow behavior of the intermediate-layer resin flowing through the middle flow channel is adjusted by positioning the vertical blocking rib pieces in the circumferential direction so as to minimize a difference in height between a maximum height point and a minimum height point that appear in a leading edge of the intermediate layer of the preform.

  • Publication number: 20160362216
    Abstract: A biaxially stretched, blow molded container obtained by molding a laminated test tube shaped preform molded by an injection molding process. The container has a neck, a body, and a bottom, and having an outer shell and an inner bag to be laminated in a peelable manner with an outer layer inner surface. The inner bag can be deflated under a pressure drop therein. The outer layer and an inner layer have a laminar structure in which the lamination extends from a predetermined position of the neck to a lower end face. The layers are peeled from each other, starting from a lamination interface between the layers. This interface is exposed outside at the lower end face of the gate mark and can be used as an air intake vent that enables outside air to be taken into the space between layers.

  • Publication number: 20160185488
    Abstract: A synthetic resin container or bottle with a window obtained by subjecting a test tube-shaped preform made by injection molding to biaxial stretch blow molding is provided. The container includes a transparent base layer; a circumferential wall formed of the transparent base layer; and a light-blocking or opaque intermediate layer formed in the base layer in a laminated manner to cover an area of a predetermined height of the circumferential wall. The intermediate layer is formed in a laminated manner over an area covering an entire circumference of the circumferential wall excluding a non-laminated section, where the intermediate layer is not formed, that extends in a shape of a longitudinal strip along the central axis direction of the container on the circumferential wall of the container. The non-laminated section serves as a window section.

  • Publication number: 20140327176
    Abstract: A process includes: supplying a main resin from outer and inner flow channel, to a joined flow channel at a predetermined supply velocity for a predetermined time; supplying a second resin from a middle flow channel to the joined flow channel simultaneously with the main resin at a predetermined supply velocity for a certain time within the predetermined time; and sliding a shut-off pin to bring the pin forefront to a predetermined position near an outlet of the inner flow channel, open to the joined flow channel, before the second resin is supplied, or during a time starting after a time from the start of the second resin supply and ending with the termination of the supply, so that the velocity of main resin supply from the inner flow channel to the joined flow channel is reduced to a predetermined level by adjusting the degree of aperture for the outlet.

  • Patent number: 7516861
    Abstract: It is intended to provide a synthetic resin bottle, in which the stable no-leak condition can be maintained up to a certain cap-turning angle, and air-tightness of the bottle can be fully secured, even if the cap is falsely turned. The body 2 of the synthetic resin bottle is configured to have a smooth seal surface 8 with no irregularity over the entire circumference in the upper portion of the outer neck wall where no parting line is formed. In this configuration, a stable no-leak condition can be maintained up to a certain cap-turning angle, and air-tightness of the bottle can be fully secured, even if the cap is falsely turned.
