  • Patent number: 5368798
    Abstract: An in-mold labeled vessel with an elongated bottom projection and a method for producing such a vessel is disclosed, wherein a label for in-mold labeling is provided with a bottom portion and side wall portions. Notches are formed in folded portions of the label as connections between the bottom portion and the side wall portions of the label. Alternatively, the label is formed using material and of a predetermined thickness which permit breakage of the label at a particular resin temperature and an internal mold pressure. In order to form an elongated bottom projection integrally with the vessel bottom, the label is loaded into a mold and injection molding is performed, whereby the molding resin which has been injected flows out through the notches or through the broken folded portions into an elongated bottom projection-forming recess formed in the mold.

  • Patent number: 5193711
    Abstract: A label comprising a bottom wall section and side wall sections has cuts formed into respective said side wall sections which extend along extensions of opposite side edges of said bottom wall section. There are provided folding lines extending between forward ends of the respectively paired cuts transversely thereof and/or cutouts intermittently arranged on imaginary lines corresponding to respective said folding lines so that said side wall sections may be folded upwardly with respect to said bottom wall section to define a lower end of the label located below the inner bottom surface of the container in the proximities of respective curved corners. A mold consisting of a core and a cavity is loaded with the label and then the in-mold labeling operation is carried out with injected resin.A surface of the mold core may be provided with injected resin guide grooves or the like to form thickened areas extending along the label folds or along the inner surface of the container's bottom.
