A container having a container body and a handle mounted thereto. The handle has a grip portion and a mounting bracket, a gripping area being left free between said grip portion and said mounting bracket for gripping the grip portion. An anchoring portion is arranged on a side of the mounting bracket facing away from the grip portion. The anchoring portion and the grip portion are elongate in a first, horizontal direction. The anchoring portion has a single wall stem portion oriented in a plane in said first direction and in a second direction away from the grip portion and a hooking portion projecting from the stem portion in a third direction transverse to said plane. A method for manufacturing such a container is also described.

An apparatus for molding a handle-equipped container is provided. The apparatus has a gripping mechanism section 160a which comprises a first gripping member 161 having a pair of first chuck members 163 for grasping a preform 200, and a second gripping member 162 having a pair of second chuck members 167 for grasping a container handle 20 in association with the action of the first gripping member 161. The apparatus can simultaneously grasp a plurality of the preforms 200 and a plurality of the container handles 20 and reliably transport them to a blow molding section.

A method for forming a container with an integral handle includes heating a preform having an integral handle in a first oven, stretching the preform, closing a first mold having a first mold recess and a second mold having a second mold recess around the preform, and blowing air into the preform. A handle pocket wedge block is inserted into a handle pocket of the integral handle of the preform within the first mold and the second mold.

A production method for blowing a container starting from a parison comprising the steps of: i) positioning a parison inside a forming mould (2) for forming the container; ii) deforming the parison (10) placed in the mould (2); the step of deforming the parison (10) comprising the sub-steps of: introducing a pressurised fluid into the parison (10) placed in the mould (2); sucking gas which is located inside the mould (2) and outside the parison (10) present in the mould (2).

The production of a container with an integrated handle, by injection moulding a preform with an incorporated handle protrusion, where such protrusion has a direction perpendicular to the axis of the preform and then stretch blow moulding the said preform into a container, where before the end of the blowing step the handle protrusion is deformed into the shape and/or position it will have in the finished container.

A manufacturing method for manufacturing a container with a handle, the method including a primary blow molding step of blow-molding a preform made of a polyethylene terephthalate resin to mold an intermediate molded body, and a secondary blow molding step of assembling the handle to a container body, which is made of the intermediate molded body expanded inside a blow mold, by arranging the intermediate molded body inside the blow mold which holds the handle by an inner surface thereof and blow-molding the intermediate molded body in a state where the handle is brought close to the intermediate molded body.

A container with a handle, in which a handle is engaged with a portion of the container, is manufactured by arranging the handle in a handle arrangement part, inserting a bottomed tubular preform into a cavity of a mold and performing blow molding. The mold includes an inner wall surface that forms an external shape of the container and a pressurizing member that forms a handle engaging part engaging with the handle to a portion of the container, and the pressurizing member is capable of moving between a first position which is a position at an outer side of the inner wall surface and a second position at which a portion of the inner wall surface is formed.

A forming mold (311) is configured to include: a pair of split mold bodies (312) in which an intermediate molded product (61) is accommodated; a pair of handle holding split molds (312) provided in the split mold bodies (315) so as to be slidable in a direction orthogonal to the opening and closing direction of the split mold bodies, and sandwiching a handle (30) therebetween; and driving means (313) connected to the handle holding split molds (312) for sliding the handle holding split molds individually.

A handle of the present invention is a handle configured to be attached on a side surface of a container body along an upward and downward direction of the container body, the handle including an elongated grip portion, an upper attachment arm provided on an upper side of the grip portion, and a lower attachment arm provided on a lower side of the grip portion, wherein on at least a part of a lower surface of a distal end side of the upper attachment arm, a first inclined surface is formed to be inclined toward A center portion of the grip portion, and on at least a part of an upper surface of a distal end side of the lower attachment arm, a second inclined surface is formed to be inclined toward the center portion of the grip portion.

An apparatus for forming a handle-equipped container comprises: a transport section 150 provided with a transport line 151, the transport line 151 alternately transporting a first transport jig 152 holding a preform, and a second transport jig 153 holding a container handle 20, the transport section 150 transporting the preform 200 and the container handle 20 to a blow molding section 140 along the transport line 151; and a supply section 160 for lowering the container handle 20, held in an inverted state, and supplying the container handle 20 to the second transport jig 153. The second transport jig 153 supports at least a pair of opposite side surfaces of the container handle 20.
