A pattern forming apparatus for a base material includes a holding unit and a pattern forming unit. The holding unit is configured to hold a base material on which one of a protrusion shape portion and a recess shape portion is formed. The pattern forming unit is configured to form a pattern on the base material. The pattern is formed on at least one of the protrusion shape portion, the recess shape portion, a periphery of the recess shape portion, a periphery of the protrusion shape portion, a portion along the protrusion shape portion, and a portion along the recess shape portion.

A blow mold system including a mold body and a base portion. The mold body includes a central bore extending from a first end of the mold body to a second end of the mold body along a longitudinal axis. The first end is configured to receive a mold preform. The base portion includes a recess, and the base portion is arranged at the second end of the mold body such that the central bore and recess define a blow mold cavity in which a container may be formed from the mold preform. In embodiments, the blow mold system has at least two interchangeable base portions that allow for containers with differently-sized or differently-shaped necks to be formed.

A method of injection molding a test tube-shaped preform for biaxial stretch blow molding includes supplying a major material resin from outer and inner flow paths to a combined flow path for a predetermined time and rate. For a period of time within a range of the predetermined time period during which the major material resin is supplied, the intermediate layer resin is simultaneously supplied from the middle flow path to the combined flow path at a second predetermined supplying rate. A columnar laminated molten resin is injected into a cavity of a metal mold connected to a tip of the nozzle through a gate to fill the cavity, the columnar laminated molten resin being composed of the major material resin and the intermediate layer resin formed in the major material resin in a laminated manner that are combined into a columnar shape at the combined flow path.

Disclosed are bottles for automatically creating custom blends of spirits. The disclosed automatic infinity bottles siphon or transfer a portion of their contents from a blending container, and move them to a sampling container from which a custom blended spirit can be decanted and consumed. The two containers are connected by a siphon tube or other suitable means. The blending container includes a selectively closeable opening for adding or removing liquids, and is configured to store a certain volume of spirits. When such volume is exceeded, the excess spirit will move into the sampling container, where the excess spirit is added to an existing custom blend. One embodiment includes a dip tube for discouraging a bottle user from removing liquid from the blending container. Another embodiment is configured with the sampling container located around the outside of the blending container.

A container (1) made of plastic having a main axis (X) being provided with a body (5) and a bottom base (6) extending from a lower end of the body (5), the bottom base (6) comprising: ⋅—a peripheral seat (7) defining a laying plane (8); ⋅—a concave arch (10) which extends from the periphery of a central zone (11) of the bottom base (6) to the peripheral seat (7), said concave arch (10) having a rounded general shape with a concavity turned towards the outside of the container (1); ⋅—a series of principal reinforcing grooves (13) which extend radially from the central zone (11) to at least the peripheral seat (7). The concave arch (10) has two annularly tangentially continuous concentric regions, i.e. a central region (15) and a peripheral region (16), said annularly tangentially concentric regions being in continuity with each other and presenting two different radius of curvature, the peripheral region (16) having a radius of curvature smaller than the one of the central region (15).

A multi-layered pressure packaging comprises a first container including a lockable neck portion followed by a body part and a bottom part, obtained from a non-foamed thermoplastic material by stretch blow molding, and a first layer at least enclosing the body part and/or bottom part of the first container. The first layer comprises foamed material, and the foamed material layer is foamed in place with an outer enclosure applied over and around the first container defining a free space in between, and foamable material introduced and foamed between the first container and the outer enclosure in the free space, obtaining the foamed material layer. A second layer is applied on the outer surface of the foamed layer for keeping the foamed layer and the first container together. Methods are provided for manufacturing a multi-layered pressure packaging according to an embodiment.

A container including a plurality of material bands each having a thickness that is less than adjacent areas of the container, the plurality of material bands extending along a base and a body of the container. The plurality of material bands are configured as folding points of the container. The container is configured to collapse along the plurality of material bands such that at least two dimensions of the container are 5 cm or greater. The base is configured to collapse along the plurality of material bands to have a generally flat body and a generally flat base that is 1.4 times wider than a pre-collapsed diameter of the base.

A pressure relief blow-out plug includes a body including an inboard end and an outboard end, and an inboard flange extending radially outwardly from the inboard end of the body. A package includes a container including a wall having interior and exterior surfaces, and a pressure relief passage extending along a longitudinal passage axis and having a circumferential passage surface extending through the wall between the interior and exterior surfaces, wherein the pressure relief blow-out plug is carried in the pressure relief passage.

A delaminatable container excellent in productivity is provided. According to an exemplary aspect, a delaminatable container, includes a container body having an outer shell and an inner bag, the inner bag delaminating from the outer shell and being shrunk with a decrease in contents, wherein the container body includes a bottom seal protrusion protruding from a bottom surface of a storage portion to store the contents, and the bottom seal protrusion is a sealing portion of, in blow molding using a cylindrical laminated parison provided with an outer layer constituting the outer shell and an inner layer constituting the inner bag, the laminated parison and is bent.
