The at least one temperature control channel (30) is situated and/or positioned in the mold body (10) in such a way as to remove more heat from or supply more heat to a first region (112) of the inner wall (111) than a second region (113) of the inner wall (111) that is adjacent to the first region (112).

A forming unit (20) for forming plastic preforms into plastic bottles, wherein the forming unit comprises a blow mould (20) having a first lateral portion (4), a second lateral portion (6) and a bottom portion (2), wherein said lateral portions as well as the bottom portion (2) form a cavity (15), within which the plastic preforms (10) can be formed into the plastic bottles, wherein the bottom portion (2) can be moved relative to the lateral portions (4) in a closed condition of the blow mould, wherein the forming unit (20) comprises a drive unit in order to move the bottom portion (2) relative to the lateral portions (4, 6), wherein the drive unit preferably has a movable piston element (32) which ist movable along a predefined stroke path. According to the invention, the apparatus has a first stroke path limiting means (22, 24) that limits the stroke path of the bottom portion (2) and/or of the piston element (32) in a first direction, wherein this stroke path limiting means (22, 24) is adjustable in order to modify the stroke path.

A heat-insulating transparent PVC sheet is formed from a PVC substrate having a thickness of 0.02-2.0 mm and contains heat-insulation pastes evenly distributed over the PVC substrate, since the heat-insulation paste contains an essential component of wolfram cesium powder (WCs) with a chemical formula of Cs.sub.XN.sub.YWO.sub.3-ZCl.sub.C and having a particle size of 0.005-2 m, the heat-insulating transparent PVC sheet has an excellent weatherability, and particularly before and after tested in 300-hour service life in line with ASTM G-154 specification, has a physical property of weatherability decay rate (%) small than 4%.

Molding unit (1) for the forming of a container (2) provided with a hollow recess (3), comprising: a mold (5) provided with a lateral wall (6) defining a cavity (7) and provided with a pocket (9) that comes out into the cavity (7); a boxing device (11) comprising: an insert (12) mounted in translation in the pocket (9) relative to the lateral wall (6) and provided with at least one passage (81) opening out; an actuator (16) integral with the insert (12) and provided with a piston (17) mounted in a chamber (22) defined in the wall (6) of the mold (5), the piston (17) subdividing the chamber (22) into a rear half-chamber (22A) in communication with a primary fluid duct (46), and a front half-chamber (22B) in communication, on the one hand, with a secondary fluid duct (50) and, on the other hand, with the pocket (9).

The invention relates to a container (1) for receiving a liquid content, comprising a container wall (10) which surrounds a container interior (12) and comprises an opening (8). The container wall has an opening region (2) at the opening, a base region (4) arranged opposite the opening region, and a lateral region (3) which extends between the opening region and the base region, and the container wall has a dimensionally stable central region (22) in the base region and a flexible flat region (24) which encircles the central region. The container wall transitions from the central region into the flat region at an angle such that an edge (26) which encircles the central region is formed in the container wall between the central region and the flat region. The invention further relates to a blow mold (31) for producing such a container.

Mold bottom for the manufacture by blow molding of a container that has a bottom that is equipped with a seat, with this mold bottom including a unit that has a molding face bearing the at least partial impression of the bottom of the container, with a pressure-release air vent being formed in the unit and emptying out, via an inner opening, on the molding face and, via an outer opening, into a pipe for exposure to air, with this mold bottom also including an insert that is provided with at least one projection housed in the air vent and that has a terminal face bearing the impression of at least one part of the seat of the container, with this insert being provided with an inner circuit for heat regulation of the projection and being mounted to move in relation to the unit.
