摘要:
A bottle processing apparatus includes a rotary bottle vacuum transfer system and a bottle coating system. The rotary bottle vacuum transfer system takes bottles from atmospheric pressure and transfers the bottles to the bottle coating system at a sub-atmospheric pressure in a continuous assembly line fashion. In the bottle coating system, a thin film coating having barrier properties is formed on at least one surface of the bottles in a continuous assembly line fashion. After formation of the thin film coating, the rotary bottle vacuum transfer system returns the bottles from the sub-atmospheric pressure region of the bottle coating system back to atmospheric pressure in a continuous assembly line fashion.

A gas inlet, which also serves as a counter electrode, is located inside of a vacuum chamber made of an electrically insulating material. A container is mounted on a mandrel mounted on the gas inlet. The chamber is evacuated to a subatmospheric pressure. A process gas is then introduced into the container through the gas inlet. The process gas is ionized by coupling RF power to a main electrode located adjacent an exterior surface of the chamber and to the gas inlet which deposits a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) thin film onto the interior surface of the container.
摘要:
Films are coated on substrates, useful for applications such as packaging, having a substantially continuous inorganic matrix in which organosilicon moieties are discontinuously dispersed. The inorganic matrix is formed by evaporating an inorganic source within a evacuated chamber while at the same time flowing vaporized organosilicon into the chamber adjacent to an electrically isolated substrate.

Stain resistant containers can be prepared in a three step process involving treatment with a nitrogen gas plasma, depositing a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) organosilicon thin film onto the interior surface of the container, followed by treatment with an oxygen gas plasma. An apparatus for the process is described, including an automated apparatus for treating multiple containers and multiple chambers of containers.

A syringe (20) is disclosed including a needle (22) and a barrel (24). The needle can have an outside surface (32), a delivery outlet (34) at one end, a base (36) at the other end, and an internal passage (38) extending from the base to the delivery outlet. The barrel can have a generally cylindrical interior surface portion (40) defining a lumen. The barrel also can have a front passage (44) molded around and in fluid-sealing contact with the outside surface of the needle. A method of making such a syringe is also disclosed. A mold (80) for making the barrel defines a front opening of the barrel to be molded around and in fluid-sealing contact with the outside surface of the needle. The needle is positioned within the mold cavity, with its base abutting the core. The barrel is molded against the needle to join the barrel and the needle.

An apparatus for forming a film on a substrate includes a gas inlet and an insert attached to the gas inlet, the insert including a deposition source material such as lithium. To form the film on the substrate, the substrate is mounted in a vacuum chamber. After the vacuum chamber is pumped down to a subatmospheric pressure, a first process gas such as argon is provided through the gas inlet and insert and into a plasma region proximate the substrate. Power is then coupled to generate a plasma inside of the insert which heats the insert and causes the deposition source material to vaporize. The deposition source material vapor is mixed with a plasma polymerizable material in the plasma region proximate the substrate causing a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) thin film such as silicon oxide including the deposition source material (e.g. lithium) to be deposited on the substrate.

A plasma treating apparatus is useful for coating substrates with thin films having vapor barrier properties at relatively rapid deposition rates. The apparatus comprises an evacuable chamber, an electrically powered electrode defining a plasma-facing surface within the chamber, and a shield spaced a distance .DELTA. transverse to the plasma-facing surface. During plasma treatments, the plasma is confined to within distance .DELTA. while a substrate is continuously fed through the confined plasma.
