Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 261 words
Apparatus for carrying out blow molding of a plastic parison, comprising: (a) means providing an axially extending parison, (b) a divided blowing mold having at least one cavity, said cavity having a circular opening at one end, having a counterbore at its edge, which cavity opening is coaxial to the parison, the mold also having an annular guide groove coaxial of and spaced outwardly of the cavity opening, (c) means inflating the parison in the mold to conform to the cavity, (d) a divided annular upsetting ring having a bore with a diameter which is slightly less than the counterbore diameter, and having a recess along its lower inside edge with a diameter substantially equal to the inside diameter of the guide groove, thereby allowing the recessed end of the upsetting ring to be slidable in the guide groove, means being attached thereto for moving the upsetting ring coaxially of the mold whereby a portion of the blown parison is compression molded into an article, and (e) a divided separating punch which is generally cylindrical with an outer diameter substantially equal to that of the bore in the upsetting ring, which punch is inserted in the upsetting ring so as to be attached to the upsetting ring for sliding in an axial direction relative thereto, said punch having a frusto-conical recess opening onto its mold-directed end, said recess having its large diameter at the free end, means being attached to the separating punch to move it coaxially of the upsetting ring to sever portions of the compression and blow molded article.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 261 words
Apparatus for carrying out blow molding of a plastic parison, comprising: (a) means providing an axially extending parison, (b) a divided blowing mold having at least one cavity, said cavity having a circular opening at one end, having a counterbore at its edge, which cavity opening is coaxial to the parison, the mold also having an annular guide groove coaxial of and spaced outwardly of the cavity opening, (c) means inflating the parison in the mold to conform to the cavity, (d) a divided annular upsetting ring having a bore with a diameter which is slightly less than the counterbore diameter, and having a recess along its lower inside edge with a diameter substantially equal to the inside diameter of the guide groove, thereby allowing the recessed end of the upsetting ring to be slidable in the guide groove, means being attached thereto for moving the upsetting ring coaxially of the mold whereby a portion of the blown parison is compression molded into an article, and (e) a divided separating punch which is generally cylindrical with an outer diameter substantially equal to that of the bore in the upsetting ring, which punch is inserted in the upsetting ring so as to be attached to the upsetting ring for sliding in an axial direction relative thereto, said punch having a frusto-conical recess opening onto its mold-directed end, said recess having its large diameter at the free end, means being attached to the separating punch to move it coaxially of the upsetting ring to sever portions of the compression and blow molded article.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 148 words
Apparatus as recited in claim 1, wherein the upsetting ring has a V-shaped groove at an intermediate portion of its bore, the radial surface of the upsetting ring recess extending outwardly from the bore having substantially semi-circular cross-section, wherein the upsetting ring and the separating punch are of such dimensions that in a first position a closed chamber is formed which contains an elongated annular space formed on two sides by the upsetting ring recess and on one side by the mold surface, the V-shaped groove, the separating punch recess, and the mold cavity, and a second position in which the elongated annular space is decreased in cross-section by the mold cavity-directed motion of the upsetting ring and the separating punch movement toward the mold cavity over the V-shaped groove to a point wherein its mold cavity-directed end protrudes substantially into the counterbore of the mold cavity opening.
