  • Patent number: 10974438
    Abstract: A container production method by liquid blow molding. The method includes a pushing step in which a liquid is collected from a preform at the timing at which the pressure inside of the preform starts rising by pushing of the expanded and deformed preform by a movable mold portion of a blow molding mold so that the rise in the pressure is suppressed or prevented.

  • Publication number: 20210039302
    Abstract: A liquid container manufacturing method includes: a liquid blow molding step of molding a preform into a liquid container; and a headspace formation step of forming a headspace, by discharging, in a state in which a liquid supply path is closed, a liquid out of the liquid container through a discharge port, the discharge accomplished by drawing-in by a liquid drawing source. In the headspace formation step, a pressurized gas is supplied from a pressurized gas supply source into the liquid container through a gas supply port to thereby assist the discharge, by the drawing-in, of the liquid out of the liquid container through the discharge port, and, when a pressure in a discharge path has increased to a set value, the supply of the pressurized gas by the pressurized gas supply source is stopped.

  • Publication number: 20200400904
    Abstract: Provided is an optical fiber ribbon and an optical fiber cable, which are adaptable to manufacture at a high velocity, in the intermittent connecting type optical fiber ribbon obtained by adhering and connecting adjacent colored optical fibers by intermittent connecting portions. In an optical fiber ribbon 2 of the present invention, since, in addition to polyol having a weight average molecular weight in a specific range, cellulose nanofiber is contained in a specific range in a material forming an intermittent connecting portion 3, the Newtonian region between a low shear rate region and a high shear rate region of the material forming the intermittent connecting portion 3 can be adjusted. Thus, scattering of the material due to a centrifugal force generated by rotation of an application roll that applies the material at the time of manufacture and the like can be suppressed, and the application amount to colored optical fiber 1 can be stabilized.

  • Patent number: 10843398
    Abstract: A liquid blow molding device for liquid blow molding a resin preform into a container having a predetermined shape. The liquid blow molding device includes a mold in which the preform is disposed; a stretch rod that axially stretches the preform disposed in the mold (; and a pressurized liquid supply that supplies a pressurized liquid to the preform. The liquid blow molding device operates such that the amount of the liquid supplied from the pressurized liquid supply to the inside of the preform before completing the stretching of the preform by the stretch rod (22) is 50% or less of the amount of the liquid to be filled in the container after the completion of the liquid blow molding.
