摘要:
A molded article (50) suitable for subsequent blow-molding into a final-shaped container. The article includes a neck portion (32); a gate portion (36); and a body portion (34) extending between the neck portion and the gate portion, at least a majority of the body portion having an overall shape which is symmetric about a body axis extending longitudinally through a center of the body portion. The body portion includes an inner exterior layer and an outer exterior layer of a first polymeric material; and a core layer of a second polymeric material disposed between the inner exterior layer and the outer exterior layer. A radial thickness or a material of the core layer is selectively varied to govern non-uniform blow molding of the molded article (50) into the final-shaped container.

摘要:
A closure device (10) for a container (12) having a neck (24) with an annular flange (28). The closure device includes a cap body (14), a tamper evident (TE) band (16), first and second leashes (108, 108a, 76b, 110, 110a, 76b) connecting the cap body to the TE band and a tongue (78, 78a) protruding from the cap body. The first leash and the second leash originate from separate locations (112, 114, 112a, 114a) on the cap body and converge towards a pivot region (104, 130, 130a) on the TE band, which defines a pivotal axis (102, 132, 132a). When the cap body is actuated between closed and fully open configurations relative to the neck, the first and second leashes retain the cap body to the TE band and an interaction of the tongue and the neck retains the cap body in the fully open position.

摘要:
A preform suitable for subsequent blow-molding into a final-shaped container comprises: a neck portion; a base portion; and a body portion extending between the neck portion and the base portion; the body portion being defined between an inner surface having a circular transverse cross-sectional shape and an outer surface also having a circular transverse cross-sectional shape, the inner and outer surfaces being non-concentric, such that a wall thickness of the body portion varies circumferentially around the preform. A preform handling apparatus for retrieving a preform from a mold comprises a take-off device having a preform carrier and a take-off device alignment mechanism for maintaining the preform carrier in alignment with a contact surface of a body portion of the preform regardless of any offset between a longitudinal axis of a cylindrical outer surface of the body portion and a longitudinal axis of a cylindrical inner surface of the body portion.
摘要:
Disclosed herein, amongst other things, is a method for converting a design of an original preform that is blow moldable to form a container into a converted preform having less molding material that is blow moldable to form the same container. The method includes retaining a neck finish and body of the original preform on the converted preform. The method further includes replacing the original base of the original preform with a converted base having an outer base surface that joins with an outer body surface of the body at an base split-line of the original base and that fits offset within an outer body surface of the original base, whereby the converted preform has a reduced total length, disregarding any gate vestige that may be formed thereon, relative to a total length of the original preform.
