Abstract:
A plastic container comprises an upper portion including a finish defining an opening into the container, a lower portion including a base defining a standing surface, a sidewall extending between the upper portion and the lower portion, the sidewall defining a longitudinal axis, and at least one substantially transversely-oriented pressure panel located in the lower portion. The pressure panel is movable between an outwardly-inclined position and an inwardly-inclined position to compensate for a change of pressure inside the container. The standing surface defines a standing plane, and the entire pressure panel is located between the standing plane and the upper portion of the container when the pressure panel is in the outwardly-inclined position.
Abstract:
Described are a mold and molding process for manufacturing devices and containers that are scalable, modular, and lockable laterally and vertically with other like devices or containers. The mold is formed with a cup mold and top end mold sections specially designed to allow for molding and demolding a container with an undercut. The cup mold includes, on a vertical wall, one or more undercuts. Multiple undercuts may further form tongues with undercuts each of which forms a groove with undercuts on the molded article, and/or one or more grooves with undercuts each of which form a tongue with undercuts in the molded article. Molding and Demolding of the article with undercuts is further enabled by utilizing an improved method of molding said article with an undercut, and demolding said article from the mold once it is molded, by improvements to each stage of the molding process, including the preform stage, the conditioning station stage, the blow stage and the release stage.

Abstract:
A bottomed cylindrical bottle formed of a synthetic resin material through biaxially oriented blow molding, includes a bottom portion of the bottle having a bottom wall portion, the bottom wall portion including a ground portion disposed at an outer circumferential edge portion, a rising circumferential wall portion continuously extending upward so as to be connected to the ground portion from an inside in a bottle radial direction, a movable wall portion protruding from an upper end portion of the rising circumferential wall portion toward the inside in the bottle radial direction, and a recessed circumferential wall portion having a diameter in the bottle radial direction such that the diameter gradually decreases in a direction from an inner end portion of the movable wall portion toward an upper side thereof, an annular recess depressed upward being formed at the movable wall portion in a circumferential direction thereof.
Abstract:
A threadless plastic blow molding device includes a main molding-base, a bottom molding-base, and a blow molding-base. The main molding-base has two mating portions each defines a recessed cavity. The recessed cavities correspond to each other when the mating portions are mated. The bottom molding-base and the blow molding-base are respectively assembled to two ends of the main molding-base. The blow molding-base has a gas blowing portion. The main molding-base, the bottom molding-base, and the blow molding-base collectively define a forming space for forming a blank. The blow molding-base has an expanded portion extended toward the mating portions. Each of the mating portions has a recessed section corresponding to the expanded portion. Accordingly, the blank can be positioned in the molding device.
Abstract:
Blow molding tools and a method of blow molding which provide that the tool have a retractable push up section in the base which allows for the article molded by the tool to have a recessed base internal to an otherwise hollow structure. As the push up is moveable, adjustment of the push up portion can be performed during an automated blow molding operation so as to allow release of the blow molded article.
Abstract:
A plastic container having a sidewall defining a chamber and having a first end and a second end and an opening at the first end into the chamber. A base of the container extends from the sidewall and closes the second end, the base having an outer perimeter portion defining a support structure, an axially inwardly extending perimeter wall spaced radially inwardly from the support structure forming an angle with a horizontal line of greater than about 80°, a centrally disposed pushup section in the shape of an axially inwardly extending truncated cone, and a toroidal-shaped channel circumscribing and connecting the perimeter wall to the pushup section. The toroidal-shaped channel has a surface that is asymmetrical about a central axis of the container when the container is under static pressure conditions.
