Patent number: 9604252Abstract: A process for coating inside a container includes rotating the container about its imaginary vertical axis while simultaneously lowering airless spray nozzles along the vertical axis of the container into the cavity through the opening end and moving the nozzles back up and out of the container. Spray nozzles are used to apply a liquid coating at a spray pressure of about 100 to about 800 psi (6.89 to 55.16 bar) and at an angle of about 0 to about 120 degrees relative to the vertical axis, simultaneously with nozzle movement, to at least a portion of the inner surface while the container is rotating and the nozzles are moving along the vertical axis. The container is thereby coated on its inner surface to form an internally coated container.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2014Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Omer Bin Younos, Christopher Norman Allinson, Geoffrey William Vernon, Luca Mario Volpe

Patent number: 8293347Abstract: The invention provides a packaging material which comprises a polymeric base component and a barrier component which coats and lines a surface of the base component, the barrier component inhibiting migration of gases, vapors and liquids through the base component. The barrier component comprises a polymeric layer comprising at least two different polymeric species which are polar and which are water soluble. The different species have different chemical compositions and are complementary in that they are bound together physically by interpolymer complexation to form an interpenetrating physical network. The invention also provides a process for producing the packaging material which comprises coating at least one surface of the base component with the barrier component and causing the complementary species to interact together physically by interpolymer complexation to form an interpenetrating physical network.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2004Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: CSIRInventors: Arnoldus Jacobus Kruger, Patricia Ann Truter

Patent number: 8061540Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2007Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: Yoshino Kogyosho Co., Ltd.Inventor: Tamotsu Toyoda

Patent number: 7988001Abstract: A process for producing a container comprising an outer container, an inner bag disposed therein and a pressure equalisation opening disposed in the outer container, and a container produced according to this process, is described, wherein a pre-moulding, comprising two coaxial tubes, is first produced by co-extrusion with the help of a blow mould and with an outwardly-projecting base seam being formed. The process forms a pressure equalisation opening in the outer container without endangering the integrity of the container, wherein a lower wastage rate and higher productivity are achieved. To do this, the base seam is partially cut off and a force which acts in the direction of the seam is introduced into the pre-moulding, which has a temperature of 40 degrees C. to 70 degrees C., which force breaks open and plastically deforms the base seam so that a pressure equalisation opening is formed in the base area.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2007Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7976918Abstract: A biaxially drawn, blow-molded bottle and its preform comprise at least a layer of a gas barrier material laminated inside the PET resin layers, a functional portion having a screw thread raised spirally in the upper portion of neck and also having a stop ring disposed under the screw thread, and a neck ring disposed at the lower end of the neck. In these preform and bottle, the leading edge of the gas barrier layer is positioned at a half height of the neck ring where the most advanced front of the leading edge neither reaches a half height of the stop ring nor extends to the functional portion. It is intended here that the neck would not be affected by the shrinking deformation caused by the existence of the gas barrier layer in the functional portion of the neck, which is treated for thermal crystallization.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2003Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: Yoshino Kogyosho Co., Ltd.Inventors: Daisuke Uesugi, Akio Hashimoto, Masato Suzuki, Hiromi Shimura
