Abstract
Abstract A process for the production of a blow molded container having an improved spout withdrawal means provided thereon. Process steps of the present invention generally comprise the extrusion of a thermoplastic parison in a pliant form between a plurality of mold sections; bringing the mold sections together into registry and entrapping the parison therebetween at points above and below mold cavities that are provided in said mold sections; simultaneously entrapping a portion of said parison adjacent an end of said mold between angularly presented forming sections, and compression molding an integral portion of said container at an angle with respect to the container to develop a memory bias therein; and injecting a blowing fluid internally of said parison to inflate the parison into conformity with the cavities in said mold, whereby a blow molded container is produced having a compression molded integral portion extending outwardly therefrom.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
196 words
An improved process for blow molding a container comprising the steps of: (a) providing a pliant plastic parison between mold sections, said mold sections having blow mold cavities defined therein; (b) bringing said mold sections into registry and entrapping said plastic parison therebetween, a portion of said parison being held within said cavities in said mold sections that define an article to be produced therein; (c) simultaneously engaging another portion of said parison outside said mold cavities adjacent an end thereof with matching compression mold die portions of said mold sections which are angularly offset from a center line through said blow mold cavities, and forcing said another portion of said parison into said angularly offset die portions and entrapping same therebetween, thereby compression molding an appendage to said end of said container with a central opening defined therein, said appendage being positioned at an angle with respect to a plane tangent to an upper portion of said ends of said container; and (d) thereafter injecting a blow fluid internally of said plastic plastic parison portion whereby said plastic parison portion is forced outwardly into conformity with said blow mold cavities to produce the container therein.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
196 words
An improved process for blow molding a container comprising the steps of: (a) providing a pliant plastic parison between mold sections, said mold sections having blow mold cavities defined therein; (b) bringing said mold sections into registry and entrapping said plastic parison therebetween, a portion of said parison being held within said cavities in said mold sections that define an article to be produced therein; (c) simultaneously engaging another portion of said parison outside said mold cavities adjacent an end thereof with matching compression mold die portions of said mold sections which are angularly offset from a center line through said blow mold cavities, and forcing said another portion of said parison into said angularly offset die portions and entrapping same therebetween, thereby compression molding an appendage to said end of said container with a central opening defined therein, said appendage being positioned at an angle with respect to a plane tangent to an upper portion of said ends of said container; and (d) thereafter injecting a blow fluid internally of said plastic plastic parison portion whereby said plastic parison portion is forced outwardly into conformity with said blow mold cavities to produce the container therein.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The process as defined in claim 1 wherein said compression molding takes place in appropriate mold cavities therefor.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
76 words
The process as defined in claim 1 wherein the blow mold cavities in said mold sections define a container body, a container top integral with said body, a pouring spout integral with said top and having means to permit eversion of said spout to a nesting position within said container body, said spout having a top integral therewith, and wherein said compression molded appendage is a spout withdrawal means that is integral with said spout top.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
The process as defined in claim 3 wherein said container is produced from polyethylene.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
The process as defined in claim 1 wherein the withdrawal means is compression molded with a finger opening therethrough.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
135 words
An improved process for molding a container comprising the steps of: (a) providing a plurality of mating mold sections, said mold sections having blow mold cavities therein defining a container body, a container top integral with said body, a pouring spout integral with said top, said spout being defined to permit eversion of same to nest within said container body, and a spout top integral with said spout, and having matching compression mold dies defining a spout withdrawal means integral with said spout top located adjacent said blow mold cavities for said spout top, said compression mold dies being angularly disposed with respect to a line tangent to the upper portion of said top and angularly offset from a center line through said blow mold cavities; (b) positioning a plastic parison between said mold sections;
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
135 words
An improved process for molding a container comprising the steps of: (a) providing a plurality of mating mold sections, said mold sections having blow mold cavities therein defining a container body, a container top integral with said body, a pouring spout integral with said top, said spout being defined to permit eversion of same to nest within said container body, and a spout top integral with said spout, and having matching compression mold dies defining a spout withdrawal means integral with said spout top located adjacent said blow mold cavities for said spout top, said compression mold dies being angularly disposed with respect to a line tangent to the upper portion of said top and angularly offset from a center line through said blow mold cavities; (b) positioning a plastic parison between said mold sections;
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
108 words
(c) bringing said mold sections into registry and entrapping a portion of said parison within said blow mold cavities and simultaneously forcing another portion of said parison outside said blow mold cavities into said angularly offset matching compression mold dies and entrapping said another portion of said parison therebetween, thereby compression molding said withdrawal means in said angular relationship with a central opening defined therein; (d) injecting a blow fluid internally of said portion of said parison held within said blow mold cavities and expanding said portion into conformity with said blow mold cavities; (e) separating said mold sections; and (f) ejecting said container from said mold sections.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
108 words
(c) bringing said mold sections into registry and entrapping a portion of said parison within said blow mold cavities and simultaneously forcing another portion of said parison outside said blow mold cavities into said angularly offset matching compression mold dies and entrapping said another portion of said parison therebetween, thereby compression molding said withdrawal means in said angular relationship with a central opening defined therein; (d) injecting a blow fluid internally of said portion of said parison held within said blow mold cavities and expanding said portion into conformity with said blow mold cavities; (e) separating said mold sections; and (f) ejecting said container from said mold sections.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
12 words
The process as defined in claim 6 wherein said parison is polyethylene.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
25 words
The process as defined in claim 6 wherein the compression mold dies define a withdrawal means having a ring defining a finger receiving opening therethrough.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process as defined in claim 6 wherein the compression mold dies in each mold section have both male and female sections therein.
