The bottom base (6) comprises:—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) and the middle point of the central zone (11) being named push-up (11a);—a series of reinforcing grooves (13) which extend radially from the central zone (11) to at least the peripheral seat (7);—base feet (14) located between two adjacent reinforcing grooves (13); According to the invention, the bottle bottom base (6) comprises an offset sitting radius, defined as the distance between the maximum bottle diameter and the contact point of the base feet with the laying plan (8) that is in the range of 5 to 10 mm for a bottle having a diameter (D) between 40 and 150 mm.

In a container spout portion included in a container body and configured to be sealed as a seal portion comes into contact with an inner circumferential face in association of attachment thereto of a cap having the seal portion therein, an arcuate portion convex inwards is formed between a top face and the inner circumferential face of the container spout portion. A tangential line to the arcuate portion starts from either a joining point between the arcuate portion and the top face or from a crossing point between a virtual extension line of the arcuate portion and the top face or a virtual extension line of the top face. An angle θ formed between the top face and the tangential line ranges from 30 to 60 degrees.

The method relates to a method for filling a container (13, 32) with carbonized liquid filling material and for closing the filled container, in which the filling material is introduced in a filling station (10, 30) by a filling head (11, 33) at defined filling pressure into the container (13, 32), wherein the filling head (11, 33) is firstly moved from an idle position, which permits supplying and inserting a container (13, 32) into the filling station (10, 30), into a working position toward the inserted container, in which an end region (16) of the filling head seals off the opening (14) of the container, the container (13, 32) is then filled, the filling head (11, 33) is moved after completion of the filling phase back out of the working position into an idle position spaced apart from the container (13, 32) and the container (13, 32) is then closed in the filling station (10, 30) using a cap (20) at least enough that filling material can no longer escape, and the container (13, 32) is then removed from the filling station (11, 33), characterized in that before the movement of the filling head (11, 33) from the working position into the idle position spaced apart from the container (13), an overpressure lying between the ambient pressure and the filling pressure is set in a pressure chamber (15) of the filling station (10, 30) surrounding the opening (14) of the inserted container (13, 32), which overpressure is selected in such a way that possible foaming up of the filling material located in the container (13, 32) is minimized enough that filling material does not escape from the container (13, 32) when the filling head (11, 33) is raised out of the working position after the filling procedure.

A plastic container manufacturing machine, comprising a chassis having a camway with a cam and a countercam and an element which is movable relative to the chassis, bearing a roller interacting with the camway so as to ensure the displacement of the movable element. The machine also comprising a device for controlling the displacement of the movable element. The countercam has at least one portion which is movable relative to the chassis, and the control device incorporates a distance sensor that continuously measures the distance of a movable portion of the countercam relative to a fixed reference point on the chassis.

Provided is a resin sheet for molding that has a high-hardness resin layer that includes a high-hardness resin on at least one surface of a base material layer that includes a polycarbonate resin, the high-hardness resin layer having a hardcoat layer or a hardcoat anti-glare layer layered on at least one side thereof. The glass transition points of the polycarbonate resin and the high-hardness resin satisfy the relationship: −10° C.≤(glass transition point of high-hardness resin)−(glass transition point of polycarbonate resin)≤40° C. The in-plane retardation of the resin sheet as measured at a wavelength of 543 nm is at least 4,000 nm. A resin film that has an in-plane retardation of no more than 50 nm as measured at a wavelength of 543 nm is stuck to one side of the resin sheet by means of an adhesive layer that includes an adhesive.

Disclosed is a thermoplastic resin composition, a method of preparing the same, and a molded article manufactured using the same, including a thermoplastic resin composition including 100 parts by weight of a base resin including a vinyl cyanide compound-conjugated diene compound-aromatic vinyl compound graft copolymer (A); a vinyl cyanide compound-conjugated diene compound-aromatic vinyl compound copolymer (B); an acrylate-aromatic vinyl compound-vinyl cyanide compound graft copolymer (C); a vinyl cyanide compound-aromatic vinyl compound copolymer (D); and a branched vinyl cyanide compound-aromatic vinyl compound copolymer (E) and a high-density polyethylene resin (F), a method of preparing the thermoplastic resin composition, and a molded article manufactured using the thermoplastic resin composition.

A preform coating device is provided with: a plurality of rotational holding parts that horizontally hold a preform; a conveyance part that conveys the preform by moving the plurality of rotational holding parts, the plurality of rotational holding parts being disposed at a predetermined interval along the conveyance route of the conveyance part; and a dispenser that discharges a coating liquid toward the preform. The dispenser has: a head including a mechanism for feeding the coating liquid; and a plurality of nozzles that are in fluid communication with the head and that each include a slot for discharging the coating liquid. The plurality of nozzles are disposed at a predetermined interval along the conveyance route. The interval between the plurality of nozzles is equal to the interval between the plurality of rotational holding parts.

Even when the filling speed increases, the surface temperature of a molded bottle falls within a constant range, and a sterilizer adequately sterilizes the bottle.

A preform is heated, the heated preform is sealed in a mold, the preform sealed in the mold is blow-molded into a bottle, the surface temperatures of a neck portion, a body portion, and a bottom portion of the molded bottle are measured, and the mold temperatures of a neck portion, a body portion, and a bottom portion of the mold is so adjusted that the measured surface temperature of the bottle falls within a specified temperature range.

An injection-molded preform is disclosed for production of a plastic container by a blow-molding method with an elongated, tube-like body, which is closed on its one longitudinal end and has a neck section that is provided with a pour opening on its other longitudinal end, which neck section includes an injection molded connection to an injection molded closure part, wherein the closure part includes: a flip-top closure and an annular section with an inner wall, which inner wall rests directly on an outer surface of the neck section and completely encloses an annular area of the outer surface of the neck section.

Disclosed are preforms which incorporate improvements in the region of the neck and upper segment of the body to allow the production of lightweight containers, such as bottles suitable for containing water or other beverages. In accordance with certain embodiments, the improvements include a thinner neck finish area than conventional bottles, where the thinner area is extended into the upper segment of the body portion below the support ring. Reducing the thickness in these areas of the bottle allows for less resin to be used in forming the preform and bottle.
