  • Patent number: 9884442
    Abstract: An injection molding device including a middle flow channel which forms an intermediate layer of a preform which is subject to biaxial stretch blow molding. The middle flow channel s segmented into a predetermined number of flow sub-channels by vertical blocking rib piece(s). Side wall's upstream portions of the vertical blocking rib piece are formed as angled surfaces whose distance from each other decreases from the downstream side to the upstream side, and/or, an end portion of the vertical blocking rib piece that is located on the downstream side is tucked in at least one of the inner flow channel and the outer flow channel.

  • Patent number: 8607999
    Abstract: A biaxially drawn, blow molded bottle characterized in that vertical connecting zones having no intermediate layer and having substrate layers welded directly with each other are formed in parallel in a circumferential direction and in a plural number along an axial direction of the bottle and are disposed on both right and left sides of each intermediate layer segment to be formed in this height range, and that horizontal connecting zones having no intermediate layer and having substrate layers welded directly with each other are also formed in parallel in an axial direction and in a plural number along a circumferential direction of the bottle and are disposed on both upper and lower sides of each intermediate layer segment to be formed, thus allowing the intermediate layer to be segmentalized in the circumferential and axial directions by both the vertical and horizontal connecting zones.

  • Patent number: 8061540
    Abstract: This invention is aimed at preventing containers effectively from performance deterioration, such as exposure of the recycled material at the neck and reduced strength of the pinch-off portion, as caused by a high ratio of recycled material used as the middle layer. There is provided a multi-layered blow-molded container molded from cylindrical multi-layered parison, wall of the container comprising at least an outer layer, an inner layer, and a middle layer, wherein the outer and inner layers are made of a same synthetic resin, while the middle layer is made of a recycled material consisting primarily of the synthetic resin used for the outer and inner layers. This container is characterized in that it has either middle-layer excluded zones or a thin middle-layer zone. These zones are provided at a predetermined range along the direction in which the parison is extruded.
