Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
A blow molding device and a blow molding method are disclosed that can blow-mold a container with a handle without requiring a handle inserter that inserts a handle into a blow molding section. A blow molding method for blow-molding a container with a handle includes heating a preform (2) that is held by a heating transfer jig (370), transferring the preform from the heating transfer jig to a blow transfer jig (420), and transferring the blow transfer jig in a state in which a handle (500) is held by the blow transfer jig to be adjacent to the preform in a transfer direction.
