  • Publication number: 20120288657
    Abstract: The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to develop a polyester resin container that can be retort-processed at a temperature in the range of above 120° C. to about 130° C. The object of this invention is to provide a polyester resin container, which is capable of improving the productivity and quality of retort foods, and a molding process thereof. The process of this invention is a double blow molding process, which comprises a primary blow molding step in which a preform is biaxially drawn and blow molded into a primary intermediate product, a thermally shrink-molding step in which the primary intermediate product is heated and forcibly shrink-molded into a secondary intermediate product, and a secondary blow molding step for blow molding the secondary intermediate product into a container, wherein a mold temperature higher than 210° C. is used in the secondary blow molding step.

  • Patent number: 8256634
    Abstract: The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to create a shape of vacuum absorbing panels that can control swelling deformation involved in hot filling of synthetic resin bottles, without impairing the vacuum absorbing function of the bottles. A principle means of giving solution to this problem is a synthetic resin bottle of this invention comprising multiple vacuum absorbing panels in a dented shape disposed around a body in parallel in a circumferential direction, and also a vertical groove disposed in a laterally central area of each vacuum absorbing panel so that the vertical groove performs a function as a starting point for the deformation into a further dented state at the time of depressurization, wherein the vertical groove has a changing depth that gradually grows larger toward an upper end and a lower end, starting from a vertically central area of each vacuum absorbing panel.

  • Patent number: 8162162
    Abstract: The object of this invention is to provide a container having a reduced area of vacuum-absorbing panels and thus acquiring improved appearance and having strength against a pressure drop, i.e., the strength enough to retain the shape of the container even when there is a pressure drop inside the container. A shoulder portion or a bottom portion of a resin-made storage container is molded by aligning one or two groups of three corners and one or two groups of three pillars vertically and in parallel to the central axis of the container. Each group of three corners is a part of the corners forming a cross-section of a regular enneagon and being connected to either the shoulder portion or the bottom portion, and the lines connecting these three corners form a regular triangle. Each group of three pillars is a part of the pillars belonging to the body and forming a cross-section of a hexagon, and the lines connecting these three pillars form a regular triangle.

  • Patent number: 7735663
    Abstract: A resource-saving neck of a synthetic resin bottle having high resistance to pressure and heat and a high, stable sealing property is provided. The part is aimed at equalizing an effect of thread-formed portions on the crystallization of a molten resin material along the circumferential direction of the part. These objectives are achieved by (1) forming screw threads of a multi-threaded screw structure on the outer surface of the neck wall, each screw thread comprising a main thread, with a starting and ending extension, with a width and height thereof being reduced gradually; (2) disposing the starting extension of a screw thread vertically above the ending extension of another thread; and (3) whitening the entire part by thermal crystallization. Sinks are prevented in the neck wall, and the height can be restricted despite increase in the diameter.

  • Patent number: 7699183
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are bottle-shaped containers having a trunk portion approximating a square. The trunk portion comprises four tabular side walls arrayed about a center axis and four corner walls connected to adjacent side walls in a corner-cutting form. The width of the corner walls expands from the top end and the bottom end toward a position about midway between the top end and the bottom end. By making the widths of the side walls and the corner walls about equal at a location about midway between the top portion and the bottom portion, the distance between the corner walls in mutual opposition with respect to the center axis can be decreased, forming a waist portion.

  • Publication number: 20100062158
    Abstract: A gas supply method supplies a source gas produced by heating and sublimating a solid source material in a source material container to a consuming area. The method includes the steps of: (a) flowing a carrier gas through a processing gas supply line and measuring a gas pressure therein; (b) heating the solid source material to produce the source gas; (c) supplying a carrier gas which has the same flow rate as the carrier gas in the step (a) to the source material container and measuring a gas pressure in the processing gas supply line while flowing the source gas together with the carrier gas through the processing gas supply line; and (d) calculating the flow rate of the source gas based on the pressure measurement values obtained in the steps (a) and (c), and the flow rate of the carrier gas.

  • Patent number: 7552834
    Abstract: A slender synthetic resin heat-resistant bottle type container having a circumferential draw ratio of 2.8 or less, for example, comprises at least one pressure reduction absorbing panel (5) provided at a container body part, wherein the pressure reduction absorbing panel is provided with at least one convex portion (6) having a width larger at a lower side than at an upper side as viewed in a circumferential direction of the container. Alternatively, each pressure reduction absorbing panel has a border line bulged toward a container bottom part. This causes a resin to be smoothly stretched even at mold surface portions corresponding to concave and convex portions of a container body part surface upon blow molding. These avoid a defective appearance of the container and do not adversely affect heat resistance thereof.
