Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A container production method by liquid blow molding. The method includes a pushing step in which a liquid is collected from a preform at the timing at which the pressure inside of the preform starts rising by pushing of the expanded and deformed preform by a movable mold portion of a blow molding mold so that the rise in the pressure is suppressed or prevented.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A container production method by liquid blow molding in which a pressurized liquid is supplied into a resin preform to mold the preform into a container of a shape conforming to an inner surface of a cavity of a blow molding mold, wherein, as the blow molding mold, one having a body mold portion that forms a part of the inner surface of the cavity and a movable mold portion that forms another part of the inner surface of the cavity is used, the method comprising: an expansion and deformation step in which a pressurized liquid is supplied into the preform disposed in the body mold portion to expand and deform the preform; and a pushing step in which the movable mold portion is moved relative to the body mold portion toward the expanded and deformed preform so that the expanded and deformed preform is pushed into the container for molding by the movable mold portion, wherein: in the expansion and deformation step, the liquid is collected from inside the expanded and deformed preform at a timing at which a pressure inside of the expanded and deformed preform starts rising by the movable mold portion's push so that the rise in the pressure is suppressed or prevented. 2. The container production method by liquid blow molding according to claim 1 , wherein in the expansion and deformation step, the pressurized liquid is supplied into the preform by moving a plunger in a pressurizing direction, and in the pushing step, the liquid is collected from inside the expanded and deformed preform by moving the plunger in a pressure reducing direction. 3. The container production method by liquid blow molding according to claim 1 , wherein a bottom portion or a handle portion of the container is formed by the movable mold portion. 4. The container production method by liquid blow molding according to claim 2 , wherein a bottom portion or a handle portion of the container is formed by the movable mold portion. 5. The container production method by liquid blow molding according to claim 2 , wherein a negative pressure is generated by the plunger such that the liquid is drawn from inside the expanded and deformed preform.
