Abstract
Abstract Selected portions of tubular thermoplastic parisons are heated from inside prior to introduction into the cavity of a blow molding unit. Steam which heats the parisons from inside is discharged by orifices provided in a hollow mandrel which is connected to a source of steam and extends with clearance through a hollow rotary shaft cooperating with a clamping device for parisons. The mandrel can be mounted for reciprocatory and/or rotary movement with reference to the shaft.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
In an apparatus for conversion of synthetic thermoplastic parisons into hollow articles, particularly in a blow-molding apparatus, a combination comprising a parison holding component comprising a hollow shaft; a heating medium supplying component arranged to extend with clearance into a parison which is carried by said holding component and comprising a hollow mandrel extending axially into said shaft and having at least one orifice arranged to discharge a heating medium against the inner surface of a parison which is carried by said hollow shaft; means for delivering the heating medium to said hollow mandrel, said mandrel and said shaft defining between themselves an annular clearance for evacuation of spent heating medium; and drive means for moving at least one of components with reference to the other component while said orifice discharges heating medium.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
133 words
In an apparatus for conversion of synthetic thermoplastic parisons into hollow articles, particularly in a blow-molding apparatus, a combination comprising a parison holding component comprising a hollow shaft; a heating medium supplying component arranged to extend with clearance into a parison which is carried by said holding component and comprising a hollow mandrel extending axially into said shaft and having at least one orifice arranged to discharge a heating medium against the inner surface of a parison which is carried by said hollow shaft; means for delivering the heating medium to said hollow mandrel, said mandrel and said shaft defining between themselves an annular clearance for evacuation of spent heating medium; and drive means for moving at least one of components with reference to the other component while said orifice discharges heating medium.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
145 words
In an apparatus for conversion of synthetic thermoplastic parisons into hollow articles, particularly in a blow-molding apparatus, a combination comprising a parison holding component; a heating medium supplying component arranged to extend with clearance into a parison which is carried by said holding component and comprising a hollow mandrel which is provided with a plurality of orifices arranged to discharge the heating medium against the inner surface of a parison which is carried by said parison holding component; means for delivering the heating medium to said supply component; means for throttling the flow of heating medium to at least one of said orifices and comprising a pin extending transversely across the interior of said mandrel between a selected pair of said orifices; and drive means for moving at least one of said components with reference to the other component while said orifices discharge heating medium.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
145 words
In an apparatus for conversion of synthetic thermoplastic parisons into hollow articles, particularly in a blow-molding apparatus, a combination comprising a parison holding component; a heating medium supplying component arranged to extend with clearance into a parison which is carried by said holding component and comprising a hollow mandrel which is provided with a plurality of orifices arranged to discharge the heating medium against the inner surface of a parison which is carried by said parison holding component; means for delivering the heating medium to said supply component; means for throttling the flow of heating medium to at least one of said orifices and comprising a pin extending transversely across the interior of said mandrel between a selected pair of said orifices; and drive means for moving at least one of said components with reference to the other component while said orifices discharge heating medium.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
A combination as defined in claim 1, wherein said orifice is arranged to discharge heating medium substantially radially of said mandrel.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
A combination as defined in claim 1, wherein said supplying component is provided with a plurality or orifices.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
38 words
A combination as defined in claim 4, wherein said hollow mandrel has a portion extending into the interior of the parison which is carried by said holding component, said orifices being provided in said portion of said mandrel.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
17 words
A combination as defined in claim 4, wherein at least one of said orifices is a slot.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
A combination as defined in claim 6, wherein said slot is inclined with reference to the axis of said mandrel.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
22 words
A combination as defined in claim 4, wherein several of said orifices are slots and wherein said slots are of identical width.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
29 words
A combination as defined in claim 8, wherein at least one of said slots has a length which is different from the length of at least one other slot.
