Abstract

A method of producing a resin container includes injection-molding a resin intermediate molded body of bottomed cylindrical shape as a first injection-molding, injection-molding a resin material outside the intermediate molded body as a second injection-molding, to produce a multilayer preform in which a resin layer is layered on an outer peripheral side of the intermediate molded body, and blow-molding the preform in a state of containing residual heat from injection-molding to produce a resin container having a bottom portion thicker in wall thickness than a body portion. A portion of the inner peripheral side of the intermediate molded body, the portion reaching a bottom portion of the intermediate molded body, has a tapered region in which the wall thickness increases toward the bottom portion.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of producing a resin container, the method comprising:
injection-molding a resin intermediate molded body of bottomed cylindrical shape as a first injection-molding;
injection-molding a resin material on an outer side of the intermediate molded body as a second injection molding, to produce a multilayer preform in which a resin layer is layered on an outer peripheral side of the intermediate molded body;
blow-molding the preform in a state of containing residual heat from injection-molding to produce a resin container having a bottom portion thicker in wall thickness than a body portion, wherein
a portion of an inner peripheral side of the intermediate molded body, the portion reaching a bottom portion of the intermediate molded body, has a tapered region in which a wall thickness increases toward the bottom portion; and
the wall thickness of the bottom portion of an outer layer in the multilayer preform is set to be thicker than the wall thickness of the bottom portion of an inner layer excluding the tapered region.

2. A method of producing the resin container according to claim 1 , wherein
at an inner face of a bottom portion of the resin container, an outer edge portion is thicker than a central portion.

3. A method of producing the resin container according to claim 1 , the method further comprising:
adjusting a temperature of the preform produced during the second injection-molding before the blow-molding as temperature adjusting, wherein
during the temperature adjusting, a temperature of the tapered region and a temperature of the bottom portion adjust to a temperature lower than a temperature of the body portion.

4. The method of producing a resin container according to claim 3 , wherein
during the temperature adjusting,
the body portion heats by a first mold facing a body portion of the preform, and
the preform sandwiches between a second mold facing an outer face of a bottom portion of the preform and a third mold inserted into the preform, to cool the tapered region and the bottom portion.
