摘要:
A bottle having substantially no strain due to fluidized orientation in the bottom portion thereof which is homogeneously and uniformly drawn, and, as a result, exhibiting improved shock resistance and buckling strength in the bottom portion, featuring excellent resistance against environmental cracking at the center in the bottom portion, without developing crazing or whitening during the preservation, and offering excellent appearance. The bottle is formed by biaxially stretch-blow-molding a thermoplastic resin, and has a mouth portion, a shoulder portion, a barrel portion and a bottom portion, said bottom portion without being substantially affected by the residual strain due to orientation by fluidization.

A material extrusion and patterning machine for a workpiece having an irregularly curved edge and a method of manufacturing the same. In one embodiment, the machine includes: (1) a frame, (2) a fixture coupled to the frame for rotation relative thereto and having a clamp adapted to hold the workpiece, (3) an extrusion head, coupled to the frame for translation relative thereto and adapted to move relative to the axis of rotation to follow the edge and (4) a mold mount, coupled to the frame for translation relative thereto and adapted to move relative to the axis of rotation to follow the edge, the extrusion head and mold mount cooperating to deposit the material on the edge and allow a mount to place a pattern on the material as the workpiece rotates relative to the frame.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for compression molding plastic articles including closures which includes providing coacting sets of tools including a first set for moving a core and core sleeve into engagement with a cavity mold on a second set of tooling. An actuator is provided between the first set of tooling and a fixed upper cam. The second set of tooling includes an associated actuator supporting the cavity mold and associated with a lower fixed cam. A nitrogen cylinder in the second set of tooling provides for control of the compression molding force. In a preferred form, a plurality of sets of tooling are provided in circumferentially spaced relation on a rotating turret supported by a central column. A common manifold supplies the pressure at accurately controlled pressure to each of the nitrogen cylinders. A control system is provided for monitoring and changing the pressure.

A method and apparatus for compression molding plastic articles such as closures include a plurality of tools mounted in opposed pairs with the tools of each pair including opposed male and female mold sections. The tool pairs are mounted for motion in an endless path. The tool pairs and associated mold sections are closed during motion in the path for compression a molding charge in the mold cavity formed between the mold sections of each pair, and opening the mold cavity to release an article formed between the mold sections. A latch mechanism is associated with each pair of tools for holding the tools and mold sections in the closed position during motion in the path independent of the mechanism for closing the tools and mold halves. In this way, forces imparted to the mold halves and tools to hold the mold closed are isolated from the machine frame. The latch mechanism is selectively unlatched to permit opening of the mold halves and release of the article compression-molded between the mold halves.

Methods and systems for forming hinged starch-bound matrices. Starch-based compositions are molded between heated molds in order to form a cellular matrix and also to remove the water from the starch-based compositions in order to form a binding matrix of solidified starch. The molding apparatus is configured to form one or more creases within the hinge area in order to define one or more lines upon which the hinge will bend. The molding apparatus is also configured such that the region of the mold corresponding to the inner surface of the hinge area will transfer heat more slowly to the inner hinge surface, resulting in reduced thickness of the skin of the inner hinge. This increases the collapsibility, or ability of the inner surface of the hinge to fold or buckle, during the bending action. This in turn reduces the bending radius of hinge such that the hinging action exerts less strain on the outer surface of the hinge. The inner surface of the hinge may optionally be treated with glycerin or other polyols soften the inner surface. The outer surface of the hinge may optionally be coated with an elastomeric material, such as polyvinyl alcohol, in order to strengthen the outer surface and reduce its tendency to fracture during the hinging action.

The apparatus comprises a rotating carousel provided with pressure-molding units for items made of plastics. Each unit comprises a mold having a molding cavity into which a dose of plastics is brought by means of a feeding head which is rotatable outside of the carousel, said dose being removed from an extrusion device by means of removal elements which are rigidly coupled to the head.
摘要:
Apparatus for manufacturing items made of plastics, particularly screw caps, by pressure molding, which includes a carousel on which molding units are arranged, each molding unit comprising an upper plunger against which a half-mold is hydraulically pushed. The half-mold defines a cavity inside which a dose of plastics has been introduced. Separation elements for extracting the cap after its manufacture are associated with the plunger.
摘要:
Compositions, methods, and systems for manufacturing articles, particularly containers and packaging materials, having a highly inorganically filled matrix. Suitable inorganically filled mixtures are prepared by mixing together an organic polymer binder, water, one or more aggregate materials, fibers, and optional admixtures in the correct proportions in order to form an article which has the desired performance criteria. The inorganically filled mixtures are molded to fashion a portion of the mixture into a form stable shape for the desired article. Once the article has obtained form stability, the article is removed from the mold and allowed to harden to gain strength. The articles may have properties substantially similar to articles presently made from traditional materials like paper, paperboard, polystyrene, plastic, or metal. They have especial utility in the mass production of containers, particularly food and beverage containers.

Compositions, methods, and apparatus for manufacturing sheets having a highly inorganically filled matrix. Suitable inorganically filled mixtures are prepared by mixing together an organic polymer binder, water, one or more aggregate materials, fibers, and optional admixtures in the correct proportions in order to form a sheet which has the desired performance criteria. The inorganically filled mixtures are formed into sheets by first extruding the mixtures and then passing the extruded materials between a set of rollers. The rolled sheets are dried in an accelerated manner to form a substantially hardened sheet, such as by heated rollers and/or a drying chamber. The inorganically filled sheets may have properties substantially similar to sheets presently made from traditional materials like paper, paperboard, polystyrene, plastic, or metal. Such sheets can be controlled, pressed, scored, perforated, folded, and glued to fashion articles for the sheets. They have especial utility in the mass production of containers, particularly food and beverage containers.
