Abstract
Abstract A thermoplastic, generally tubular parison for the blow molding of a thermoplastic container and a method and apparatus for same. The parison includes a finish or neck having a single helical thread extending less than 360° about the circumference of the finish. The radius of the parison at any point on the outside surface is less than the radius through the crest of the helical thread, whereby the parison can be injection molded in an injection molding apparatus with an injection mold comprising all axially movable mold sections.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
An injection molded thermoplastic parison comprising a tubular body portion having an open end and a closed end, said open end defined by a finish portion having a single helical thread extending less than 360° around the circumference of said finish, the radius of said parison from its central axis to a point on its outer surface being greatest through the crest of said thread and the radius of every other point on the outside surface of said parison being less than said greatest radius with each point further from said thread crest toward the closed end of said parison being greater than or equal to a more distant point from said thread crest.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
114 words
An injection molded thermoplastic parison comprising a tubular body portion having an open end and a closed end, said open end defined by a finish portion having a single helical thread extending less than 360° around the circumference of said finish, the radius of said parison from its central axis to a point on its outer surface being greatest through the crest of said thread and the radius of every other point on the outside surface of said parison being less than said greatest radius with each point further from said thread crest toward the closed end of said parison being greater than or equal to a more distant point from said thread crest.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The parison defined in claim 1 wherein said finish has a larger outside diameter than the remainder of said parison and terminates in an undercut annular shoulder axially facing said closed end of said parison.
