  • Patent number: 11117308
    Abstract: The invention relates to a half-mold comprising a joint face; an opposing assembly face), where the longitudinal cross-section of the assembly face is in the form of an arc of a circle centered on a reference axis. The reference axis is offset longitudinally towards the front relative to the joint face. The invention also concerns a molding assembly, a molding unit and a forming facility comprising such half-molds. The invention also concerns a method for producing such half-molds and a method for producing a surface for receiving such half-molds.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10071520
    Abstract: A molding unit (10) for manufacturing preforms (100) made of plastics material, includes at least one “HR”-type mold (10), a nozzle (14) including at least a nozzle body (28) and a nozzle orifice (30) incorporating a preform (100) stabilizer (34) that forms with a tubular member (40) a mobile assembly that is able to slide axially relative to the nozzle orifice (30) between at least a top position and a bottom position, wherein the tubular member (40) is guided so as to slide axially with respect to the nozzle body (28) by at least one guiding element (46) which is interposed radially between the nozzle body (28) and the tubular inlet member (40), and the stabilizer (34), fixed to the tubular member (40), is guided with respect to the nozzle body (28) only by way of the at least one guiding element (46).

  • Patent number: 9044886
    Abstract: A controlled valve fittings device (22) for an installation for the blow-molding of containers, includes: a low-pressure first valve (24A) which includes elements (58) for shutting off a low-pressure supply line (32); a high-pressure second valve (24B) which includes elements (58) for shutting off a high-pressure supply line (34); an exhaust third valve (24C) which includes elements (58) for shutting off an exhaust line (52); wherein each valve (24A, 24B, 24C) includes an individual actuator (60) and individual shut-off elements (58) which are controlled by the associated actuator (60) that makes them move between an open position and a shut-off position.
