Patent number: 6582649Abstract: A forced exhaust pipe is connected to an exhaust pipe connected with a cross head so that a negative pressure may be formed within an air passage so as to effect rapid control of air pressure (amount) within a parison, thereby stabilizing the air pressure within the parison. A parison stabilizing method and a system therefor for use in a hollow formation molding machine, according to the present invention, are so formed that a forced air-discharge is carried out through an exhaust pipe connected with the air passage formed within the cross head, so that a negative pressure is formed within the air passage. In this way, the above-mentioned system can effect quick control of an air pressure (amount) within the prison during a pre-blowing treatment, shorten a time period necessary for determining molding conditions, without having to increase the inner diameter of the air passage.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2000Date of Patent: June 24, 2003Assignee: The Japan Steel Works, Ltd.Inventors: Shigeaki Sano, Ken Nakao, Sohei Masaki, Kunihiro Hijikata

Patent number: 6547551Abstract: In a conventional multilayer crosshead, only one pressure sensor is disposed in the inlet of the annular passage, preventing monitoring of membrane discontinuities; parison thickness is not constant; as the crosshead body is not cooled and parison temperature is high, a long time is required for cooling during blow molding, preventing the reduction of the molding cycle. A multilayer crosshead according to the present invention includes pressure sensors disposed in at least two positions of the annular passage so that the flow rate is controlled and monitored so as to eliminate the pressure difference between the pressure sensors, and parison temperature is lowered to a greater degree by a cooling jacket with a built-in heater disposed in the crosshead body so that a blow molding cycle is shortened.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 1999Date of Patent: April 15, 2003Assignees: The Japan Steel Works, Ltd., Yachiyo Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yuzo Omi, Syouji Satou, Takatoshi Watanabe, Akira Rikiishi, Hajime Kudo, Yoshitaka Ohno, Toshio Kagitani, Sohei Masaki, Shoji Abe

Patent number: 6537056Abstract: In a conventional needle blow nozzle and blow molding apparatus, because a needle portion is formed to have a linear tip, resistance against insertion of the nozzle into a parison is large and only a small-diameter needle blow nozzle can be inserted into the parison. For this reason, it has been difficult to increase an amount of air supplied to the interior of the parison and to shorten the molding cycle. With a needle blow nozzle, an air cooling method and apparatus, a blow molding method and apparatus, and a blow molded product according to the present invention, since a needle portion of the needle blow nozzle is formed into an umbrella-like shape, the tip of the needle portion provides a pointed needle center so that resistance against insertion of the nozzle into a parison is reduced and a large-diameter needle blow nozzle can be employed.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1999Date of Patent: March 25, 2003Assignees: The Japan Steel Works, Ltd., Yachiyo Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yuzo Omi, Syouji Satou, Takatoshi Watanabe, Akira Rikiishi, Hajime Kudo, Yoshitaka Ohno, Toshio Kagitani, Sohei Masaki, Shoji Abe
