Publication number: 20140199520Abstract: An injecting/blowing device includes a mold for injecting a thin-walled hollow preform capable of being transformed into a more voluminous hollow body. The mold includes a counter mold defining a cavity, a cure located in the cavity, and a preform impression located between the counter mold inner surface and the core which will receive the melt, at least two main preferential flow channels or at least two secondary preferential flow channels having a recessed zone at the surface of the core and the inner surface of the cavity. The main flow channels are located only at the impression zone corresponding to the zone for transforming the preform, and in the optional secondary flow channels are flow channels discontinuous from the main flow channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2014Publication date: July 17, 2014Applicant: SA DES EAUX MINERALES D'EVIAN SAEMEInventors: Gilles Bertheol, Jean-Paul Besson, Alain Colloud

Publication number: 20120308689Abstract: Hollow plastic containers provided with a narrow opening and a body having a base and at least one side wall extending longitudinally between the narrow opening and the base, such as bottles or similar, are obtained from preforms by stretch blow molding. A blend of polyethylene terephtalate (PET) and polytrimethylene terephtalate (PTT), with a weight proportion of PTT in the range 5-50% is injected to obtain the preform. During the stretch blow molding step, the multi polyester preform undergoes longitudinal stretching at a longitudinal ratio of between approximately 3.5 and 6 and radial stretching at a ratio of between approximately 4 and 9. The body of the preform is subjected to an overall stretching ratio included between 16 and 50, whereby the weight of the container produced by stretch-blow molding may be reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2011Publication date: December 6, 2012Applicant: SA DES EAUX MINERALES D'EVIAN SAEMEInventors: Francoise Poulat, Jean-Paul Besson, Emilie Boutin

Patent number: 5372301Abstract: Packaging of biodegradable material comprising a retractable pouring spout corresponding to a trapezoidal opening in the central region of one wall of the packaging. The large base of the opening is located on the side of the upper corners of the packaging. The retractable pouring spout is assembled from an external trapezoidal shape (19) corresponding to the opening and an internal assembly (24, 37) having a narrowed central portion (26) about which two lateral wings (25a, 25b) are articulated by lines (26a, 26b) oriented in the opposite direction from the sides (13, 15) of the trapezoidal shape (19). As a result, the wings (25a, 25b) have clearance with the sides (13, 15) of the trapezoidal opening (19), and the opening of the pouring spout takes place without friction of the lateral wings against the sides of the trapezoidal opening.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 1993Date of Patent: December 13, 1994Assignee: Saint Germain CartonnageInventor: Jean-Paul Besson
