A laser processing method includes: marking multiple concaves on a surface of a preform before blow molding.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A laser processing method comprising: marking multiple concaves on a surface of a preform before blow molding; and marking multiple concaves on the surface of the preform after the blow molding. 2. The laser processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the marking before the blow molding forms a convex in a periphery of each of the multiple concaves. 3. The laser processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the marking before the blow molding forms at least two concaves of the multiple concaves separated with each other. 4. The laser processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the marking before the blow molding forms at least two concaves of the multiple concaves partially overlapped with each other. 5. The laser processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the marking before the blow molding continuously forms at least two concaves, and a first center-to-center distance between the two concaves in a first direction having a first expansion ratio of the preform is narrower than a second center-to-center distance between the two concaves in a second direction having a second expansion ratio of the preform, the first expansion ratio being higher than the second expansion ratio, where the first expansion ratio and the second expansion ratio are determined by expanding the preform by blow molding. 6. The laser processing method according to claim 5 , wherein the first direction is orthogonal to the second direction. 7. The laser processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the marking before the blow molding forms one concave of the multiple concaves adjacent to other of the multiple concaves in multiple directions. 8. The laser processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the marking before the blow molding forms one concave of the multiple concaves adjacent to other of the multiple concaves surrounding the one concave. 9. The laser processing method according to claim 8 , wherein the marking before the blow molding continuously forms at least two concaves of the multiple concaves, and an unprocessed region between said two concaves is 0.2 mm or less on the preform before blow molding. 10. The laser processing method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the multiple concaves marked before the blow molding has a U-shaped cross section. 11. A preform having the multiple concaves formed by the laser processing method according to claim 1 . 12. The laser processing method according to claim 1 , wherein: the marking of the multiple concaves on the surface of the preform before the blow molding uses a laser having a first pulse width, and the marking of the multiple concaves on the surface of the preform after the blow molding uses a laser having a second first pulse width which is different from the first pulse width. 13. The laser processing method according to claim 1 , wherein: the marking of the multiple concaves on the surface of the preform after the blow molding marks a total area of the multiple concaves to be smaller than a total area of the multiple concaves marked on the surface of the preform before blow molding.
