A parison transfer apparatus includes a die core and at least two parison expansion rollers disposed below the die core and having a conical shape. The die core extrudes a parison having a form of a single sheet or cut into a plurality of sheets in an arc shape toward a space below the die core. The parison expansion rollers are arranged to abut against the vicinity of respective side end portions of the arc-shaped parison having the form of the single sheet or the plurality of sheets as a result of the cutting. The parison expansion rollers are configured to be rotated in a direction opposite to a downflow direction of the parison to pull the side end portion of the parison such that a width of the side end portion expands and a shape of the parison changes from the arc shape into a flat plate shape.

A temperature adjustment mold for a blow molding apparatus provided with at least an injection molding unit that injection-molds a preform made of a resin and having a bottomed shape, a temperature adjusting unit that adjusts a temperature of the preform manufactured by the injection molding unit, and a blow molding unit that blow-molds the preform to manufacture a resin container, the temperature adjustment mold including a cavity mold that accommodates the preform, and an air introduction member that includes a fitting core and a rod member with a multiple-tube structure to form at least three concentric air flow paths.

According to the present invention, in order to improve the productivity of an injection stretch blow molding machine, when a core mold is lifted during mold opening at an injection molding part of the injection stretch blow molding machine, stress is dispersed so as not to concentrate at an area where the thickness changes between a preform opening and a preform body so that the preform body is inhibited from being lifted at a skin layer formed in the area where the thickness changes between the preform opening and the preform body. In a preform (30) where a skin layer (34) at the surface has a lower temperature than a middle layer (35) so as to allow a preform body (32) and a preform bottom (33) to expand and deform from the inside of the preform toward the outside of the preform, the skin layer (34) bridging between the inner surface of the preform body (32) and the inner surface of the preform opening (31) is formed in a tapered shape that opens upward at an outward slant with respect to an extension line (38) of the inner surface of the preform body (32) extending above the skin layer (34) so that, during the lifting of the core mold, the stress exerted from the preform body (32) is dispersed at a stress dispersing plane section (39) formed with the skin layer (34).

The present invention enables injection by an injection device to be carried out in an early stage while obviating nozzle touch, and shortens the molding cycle of an injection stretch blow molding machine. In the present invention, an injection device 20, which is designed to perform injection when a value counted up by a timer reaches a set count value, is linked and fixed to a hot runner device 19 of an injection stretch blow molding machine 1. The count start point of the timer is set to: a stage in which a rotating plate rotates; a stage in which the rotating plate is made to stop rotating and is non-rotatably fixed; or a stage in which mold clamping of an upper mold and a lower mold begins.

A method for making a substantially tube-shaped conduit resonator having a plurality of plastic component parts, the conduit resonator having a tubular hollow body and at least one tubular molded part arranged inside the tubular hollow body and connected to the tubular hollow body, the method comprising the steps of: making a molded part via an injection molding process in an outer tool having an inner mandrel; injecting the hollow body between the molded part and a surrounding outer tool wherein the molded part along with the inner mandrel serve as an inner tool; and, thereafter, via a blow molding process, seating the hollow body on the inner wall of the outer tool and reshaping the hollow body on the outer wall of the molded part and bonding the hollow body, in part, to the outer wall of the molded part.

In a manufacturing method for a delamination container, in a first injection molding, a first recess portion is formed by a first protrusion portion in at least part of a first layer. In a second injection molding, a second recess portion which penetrates the first layer and through which a surface of a second layer is exposed is formed in a preform by inserting a second protrusion portion into the first recess portion. During a blow molding, the second recess portion is stretched to form an air introduction hole in an outer layer of the delamination container.

A mold includes a position adjustment mechanism that receives a shaft portion extending from a cavity mold, which accommodates a preform, and adjusts a position where the cavity mold is held on a plane intersecting an extending direction of the shaft portion. The position adjustment mechanism includes a first member in which a linear cam hole that receives the shaft portion is formed, and a second member that is disposed to overlap the first member in the extending direction of the shaft portion and rotates with respect to the first member along a plane. The second member has an elongated hole that intersects the cam hole in a direction of the plane and positions the shaft portion together with the cam hole. Further, a position where the cam hole and the elongated hole intersect each other moves along a longitudinal direction of the cam hole by rotation of the second member.

A temperature adjustment mold for adjusting a temperature of an injection-molded bottomed preform made of resin includes: an air introduction member that is inserted into the preform and cools the preform by introducing compressed air from an air supply port into an interior of the preform; a cavity mold that accommodates the preform inside and performs heat exchange in contact with an outer peripheral surface of the preform into which the compressed air has been introduced; and a heating mechanism that heats a first portion of the cavity mold facing the air supply port more than a second portion of the cavity mold located on a downstream side of a flow path of the compressed air than the first portion.

An intermediate mold disposed between a stationary-side mold and a movable-side mold in a mold unit of an injection molding machine, the intermediate mold including: a mold portion that performs a mold opening and closing operation with a facing mold facing one of the stationary-side mold and the movable-side mold; a guide bar that penetrates through the mold portion, and that guides the mold opening and closing operation; and a rotary frame body that includes a rotary shaft, and that rotates together with the guide bar and the mold portion in a state where the rotary frame body is joined to the guide bar. The mold portion is temporarily gripped by a tip part of the guide bar, and is temporarily gripped by the facing mold.

A method for manufacturing packaging comprises the steps of: temperature conditioning one or more selected portions of at least one preform; and blowing and/or stretching the at least one temperature conditioned preform into a blow mold to form a container including an offset neck finish. Containers, packaging systems and packaging products are disclosed.
