Blow Molding Method and Apparatus for Forming Squeezable Plastic Container

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.

Blow molded multilayer article with color gradient

A blow molded multilayer article with a hollow body defined by a wall with an inner surface and an outer surface. The outer surface has an axial color gradient. The wall has multiple layers and at least one layer optionally contains an effect pigment and/or an opacifying pigment.

Plastic container having pearl-like appearance and process for producing the same

This invention provides a plastic container characterized in that an expanded layer comprising expanded cells having a flat shape with an average major axis of not more than 400 m and an average aspect ratio (L/t) of not less than 6 as viewed in cross section of the container wall along the maximum stretch direction, which are oriented in the stretch direction and are distributed so as to be superimposed on top of each other in the thickness-wise direction, is formed within the container wall. In this container, expanded cells having a flat shape are distributed so as to orient in a given direction and, thus, has light shielding properties and has a pearl-like appearance, that is, has a very high commercial value. Further, since any colorant is not contained, the suitability for recycling is excellent.

AEROSOL CONTAINER MADE OF PLASTIC

The present disclosure relates to an aerosol container made of plastic, the container having a neck, the opening of which is closeable in a pressure-tight manner by a valve unit that can be actuated by a pushbutton, the container being Tillable with a liquid or gaseous propellant and a liquid to be sprayed. The aerosol container can be an injection cast preform with an elongated tubular preform body. The preform body is closed by a dome-shaped convex preform base, beyond which an integrally formed stand region projects in an axial direction. The preform body adjoins the opening of the neck at the opposite axial longitudinal ends of the preform body.

BLOWN BOTTLE, INK CARTRIDGE, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING BLOWN BOTTLE

A blown bottle includes at least two layers including an inner layer and an outer layer, wherein the inner layer includes an inner layer flange, the outer layer includes an outer layer flange, and wherein a protrusion is formed on either one of the inner layer flange or the outer layer flange, a recess is formed in the other, and the protrusion is fitted to the recess.

BLOW BOTTLE AND METHOD FOR MOLDING BLOW BOTTLE

A blow bottle includes an outer layer and an inner layer, wherein the inner layer has blackness higher than that of the outer layer, and wherein the outer layer has an L* value of 20 or more and 90 or less in an International Commission on Illumination (CIE) L*a*b* color system.

DEVICE WITH CO-MOLDED CLOSURE, ONE-WAY VALVE AND VARIABLE-VOLUME STORAGE CHAMBER, AND RELATED METHOD
20190168930 · 2019-06-06 ·

A device includes a first part having a co-molded first support, valve cover and elastic actuator, and a second part having an injection molded second support, valve seat, and variable-volume storage chamber pre-form. The pre-form is blow molded into a flexible pouch defining the variable-volume storage chamber. The one-way valve includes a semi-annular, curvilinear, relatively rigid valve seat defining axially-extending, opposing first marginal portions, and an axially-extending first mid-portion angularly extending between the opposing first marginal portions. A flexible valve member is superimposed on the valve seat and defines axially-extending, opposing second marginal portions fixedly secured on or adjacent to respective first marginal portions of the valve seat, and an axially-extending second mid-portion angularly extending between the opposing first marginal portions and superimposed onto the first mid-portion of the valve seat. The flexible valve cover and valve seat form a normally closed axially and angularly extending valve seam therebetween.

Aerosol dispenser having annular seals and aerosol container therefor

An aerosol container suitable for use as an aerosol dispenser. The aerosol container includes at least a valve and product delivery device joined to an outer container. The valve and product delivery device have respective annular welds or other seals joining the valve and product delivery to the outer container. The welds, or other seals may be concentric, with one circumscribing the other, in the same plane or different planes. Suitable product delivery devices include bags and dip tubes.

Injection molding process for making a preform

Technical problems of this invention is to create an injection molding device and an injection molding process for a test tube shaped preform, that can laminate a colored layer at certain positions of a wall of the reform with a certain thickness in a manner of a high degree of accuracy. A feature associated with the injection molding device to solve these problem comprising a nozzle section, in which a molten main resin and a molten second resin are join together to form a joined resin mass, the nozzle section comprising: an outer flow channel through which the main resin flows, an inner flow channel through which the second resin flows, a cylindrical column-shaped joined flow channel where the second resin from the inner flow channel joins the main resin from the outer flow channel, a first confluence disposed at a point where the main resin from the outer flow channel flows into the joined flow channel, a second confluence disposed at a point where the second resin flows into the joined flow channel wherein the first confluence is located downstream of the second confluence with a predetermined space left in between, and a cylindrical shutoff pin inserted slidably in the joined flow channel, wherein this shutoff pin is capable of shutting off or opening either or both of the first confluence and/or the second confluence, depending on the sliding position.

PRESSURIZED PLURAL NESTED PREFORM ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE
20190152122 · 2019-05-23 ·

A plural preform assembly having nested preforms with an inner preform and an outer preform. The preforms are sealably joined together, defining a volume between the preforms. Propellant is disposed in the volume between the preforms. The preforms are later blow molded to provide a bag in bottle, bottle in bottle or similar container. The propellant charge is already present when blow molded, preventing the need for a later propellant filling step.
