An injection blow molding apparatus comprises: a first oil supply section 100A which has a hydraulic drive source composed of a drive motor, whose number of revolutions can be controlled, and a hydraulic pump and which supplies oil from an oil tank 90 to an injection mold drive unit 72 provided in an injection mold unit 70; and a second oil supply section 100B which has a hydraulic drive source composed of a drive motor, whose number of revolutions can be controlled, and a hydraulic pump and which supplies oil from the oil tank 90 to a blow mold drive unit 42 provided in a blow mold unit 41, the second oil supply section 100B being provided independently of the first oil supply section 100A.

There is provided a blow molding device, in which the blow molding device includes an injection molding part injection-molding a preform having a main body portion, a temperature adjustment part adjusting a temperature of the preform, and a blow molding part blow-molding the preform, and the temperature adjustment part includes a conditioning core mold that is in contact with an inner surface of the main body portion and a conditioning cavity mold that is in contact with an outer surface of the main body portion, and compresses and deforms the main body portion of the preform into a desired shape with the main body portion sandwiched between the conditioning core mold and the conditioning cavity mold.

This resin-made container is provided with: a neck portion having a content inlet-outlet portion; a lateral surface portion connected to the neck portion; and a bottom portion that is disposed on the side opposite to the neck portion and that is connected to the lateral surface portion. The resin-made container is produced by a stretch blow molding process. The bottom portion has formed therein a bulge section that protrudes downward in the vertical direction. The bulge section is disposed in an eccentric region, of the bottom portion, positioned outside a region demarcated by perpendicularly projecting an opening plane of the inlet-outlet portion of the neck portion.

A method of manufacturing a pressure vessel that includes heating a preform formed of a thermoplastic polymer, inserting a blow pin assembly that includes a bung portion and a plunger portion into an opening of the heated preform, clamping the heated preform between the bung portion and sections of a blow mold, extending the plunger portion into an interior of the heated preform to stretch the heated preform in the blow mold, and blowing air into the stretched preform under pressure to form the pressure vessel such that: (a) the pressure vessel includes a tank having a neck portion, a cylindrical body portion having a diameter of at least about 200 mm, and a bottom portion, (b) at least the thermoplastic polymer in the cylindrical body portion is biaxially oriented, and (c) threads are formed in the neck portion. Also a pressure vessel formed in accordance with the method.

A preform optical inspection system includes a plurality of carrier units, each mounted on a respective lane conveyor for receiving preforms from an injection molding device and an optical inspection unit. The optical inspection unit is able to transverse movement across the lane conveyors and the carrier units are able to pass though the optical inspection unit.

A method for manufacturing a resin container part includes: injection-molding of a bottomed resin preform including, on a bottom portion thereof, a thick bulging portion that retains residual heat by which the bulging portion is deformable by being pressed to follow a shape of a blow cavity mold; and a blowing including stretching a body portion of the preform by applying a blow pressure to the preform and forming a joint portion by pressing the bulging portion of the preform with an upper bottom mold to deform the bulging portion to follow the shape of the blow cavity mold.

A manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing a resin container includes an injection molding part configured to injection-mold a preform, and a temperature adjustment part configured to adjust a temperature of the preform molded in the injection molding part, in which the manufacturing apparatus is configured to blow-mold the preform whose temperature has been adjusted in the temperature adjustment part, the preform is inserted into the temperature adjustment part in a state where an outer surface temperature of the preform is higher than a glass transition temperature of the preform by 30° C. or higher and 60° C. or lower, and the preform is cooled to a predetermined temperature suitable for blow molding in the temperature adjustment part.

There is provided a cooling mold for cooling a resin preform that has a gate portion protruding outward from a center of a bottom portion, in which an accommodating space that accommodates the preform is formed in the cooling mold, a bottom region facing the bottom portion of the preform in the accommodating space has a shape following the bottom portion of the preform, and an air sucking hole for sucking air is formed in the bottom region at a position shifted from the center of the bottom portion of the preform.
