  • Patent number: 4751943
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved faucet structure which is changing the conventional manner of vertical, up-and-down, spiral control of turning on and off water flow into the novel manner of plane rotary control, the entire opening and closing of the faucet can be achieved via rotating about 90.degree. thereof. Therefore, the operation is much more convenient and laborsaving as well as durable and practical than ever before since the rubber washer subject to more even force is uneasy to be damaged.

  • Patent number: 4054629
    Abstract: Parisons are injection molded using a cooled cavity and a relatively hot core pin to prevent the formation of residual internal stress in or near the inner surface of the parison. The parison is promptly transferred while still hot from the injection mold to a temperature conditioning station to provide a desired temperature distribution and the temperature conditioned parison is highly molecularly biaxially oriented as it is blow molded.

  • Patent number: 4054630
    Abstract: Parisons for use in making blow molded highly molecularly oriented plastic bottles are injection molded using a cooled cavity and a relatively hot core pin to prevent the formation of residual internal stress in or near the surface of the parison. The pin is maintained at a temperature above the glass transition temperature of the resin to reduce the formation of cracks when the parison is subsequently blow molded in the orientation temperature range.
