    摘要: A molding apparatus for molding a closure device for a container. The closure device may be tethered to the container, and may open and close via a hinged articulation. The closure device includes a cylindrical body comprising hinge-connecting areas with pockets formed in the interior wall and defining an inner surface of the hinge-connecting areas, and hinges extending downwardly from the hinge-connecting areas and positioned at or below a bottom edge of the cylindrical body. The molding apparatus comprises a cavity insert component and a core component that cooperate to form mold surfaces to mold the closure device such that hinges are located below the cap area of the closure device, and hinge-connecting areas formed by projections in the core mold component and recesses in the cavity mold component are located within the cap area are flanked by membranous areas.

    摘要: In one aspect there is disclosed a method of improving shot repeatability in a multilayer reciprocating screw injection molding apparatus by preventing pressure communication or “cross-talk” between melt channels. In the first aspect an outlet nozzle valve is closed prior to closing a check valve within an injection unit of the multilayer reciprocating screw injection molding apparatus. In another aspect there is disclosed a method of improving shot repeatability in a reciprocating screw injection molding apparatus by recording a first position of a screw within the barrel of an injection unit of a reciprocating screw injection molding apparatus, the first position corresponding to a volume of melt within the barrel of the material injection unit. A second position of the screw is then calculated based on the first position, the second position corresponding to a transition position of the screw within the barrel of the injection unit of the reciprocating screw injection molding apparatus.

    摘要: In one aspect, a method of molding a multilayer article comprises causing a surface layer material injection unit to commence injecting a surface layer material into a mold cavity via a surface layer material channel. Then, an internal layer material injection unit commences injecting an internal layer material into the mold cavity an internal layer material channel. Then, during application of a hold pressure upon the surface layer material in the surface layer material channel and with the surface and internal layer material injection units in fluid communication with one another, a pullback stroke is effected at the internal layer material injection unit. After a delay interval, at least one physical parameter indicative of a post-pullback pressure of the internal layer material is detected, and an indicator of pullback effectiveness is generated based on the post-pullback pressure indicated by the at least one physical parameter relative to a threshold pressure.

    摘要: A closure device for a container having a neck including an annular flange, the closure device comprising: a cap body; a tamper evident (TE) band positioned below the annular flange when assembled in the container; a first hinge and a second hinge defined on the cap body; a leash connected to the TE band, the first hinge and the second hinge; the leash allowing for the cap body to be separated from the TE band during opening, but to remain connected thereto via the leash; a tongue protruding from the cap body between the first and second hinges; when the cap body is actuated from a closed configuration relative to the neck to a fully open position: the leash is configured to retain the cap body to the TE band; an interaction of the tongue and the neck is configured to retain the cap body in the fully open position.

    摘要: In one aspect, there is provided an injection molding system configured to operate in a plurality of cycles. The system comprises, amongst other things, a controller that is configured for performing a comparison of a variable pressure setpoint with a target pressure value. The controller is configured to, when the target pressure value is less than the variable pressure setpoint by at least a predetermined lower bound, (i) decrease the variable pressure setpoint to a reduced variable pressure setpoint and (ii) not further decrease the variable pressure setpoint from the reduced variable pressure setpoint until the pump assembly operates for a plurality of stabilizing cycles at the reduced variable pressure setpoint.
