This method for manufacturing a resin container includes injection molding a plurality of preforms in an arrangement direction, a adjusting the temperature of the preforms, and molding containers from the preforms. The manufacturing method includes, between the injection molding and the temperature adjusting, changing the orientation of the preforms aligned in the arrangement direction to an orientation aligned in a conveying direction.

A back-mounted spray apparatus includes a storage container shaped to receive therein liquid to be sprayed. The storage container includes a pair of side handles integrally formed therewith and a central handle therebetween and integrally formed therewith. Actuation of a spraying assembly of the apparatus causes the liquid from the storage container to be selectively sprayed outwards therefrom.

The storage container has a lower or front peripheral portion that is arc-shaped in a direction extending between sides thereof according to one aspect. The backpack sprayer includes a frame member extending along a rear thereof and to which the storage container couples. The frame member has an aperture extending therethrough which is arc-shaped.

A horizontal frame member is cantilevered from a vertical frame member according to another aspect. The storage container has a lower portion within an inwardly-facing channel shaped to receive and couple to the horizontal frame member.

A preform orienting apparatus for a preform having an integral handle is disclosed. The preform orienting apparatus has a stationary outer guide comprising a friction strip configured to contact a portion of the preform and pick up the preform by the portion of the preform, and configured to rotate the preform, and a moving starwheel assembly comprising a plurality of lugs disposed on an underneath side of the moving starwheel, wherein at least one lug of the plurality of lugs is configured to stop rotation of the preform at a predisposed position of the integral handle.

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.

A configuration including: a primary blow molding station including: an injection molding part configured to injection-mold a plurality of preforms simultaneously; a primary blow molding part configured to blow-mold the preform to form a first blow-molded article; and a first transport device including a first transport path and configured to intermittently circulate and transport a plurality of the preforms and the first blow-molded article along the first transport path at a predetermined interval; and a secondary blow molding station installed independently of the primary blow molding station, the secondary blow molding station including: a secondary blow molding part configured to blow-mold the first blow-molded article to form a resin container; and a second transport device configured to hold the first blow-molded article at a downstream side of the primary blow molding part in the first transport path and transport the first blow-molded article to the secondary blow molding part.

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).
