Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
The method of producing a hollow body from plastic material with at least one annular protrusion disposed circumferentially about the wall of the hollow body wherein the hollow body is blow molded from a tubular preform extruded into a blow molding apparatus, said apparatus having a side wall with an annular recess therein defined by a fixed surface facing axially of the preform and an axially aligned slide member movable axially into said annular recess, the recess receiving hot formable material from the preform during the blow molding thereof, said method comprising the step of: (a) moving said slide member axially and fully into said recess to compress the hot formable material therein and extrude essentially all of it out of the recess to form said protrusion.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
127 words
The method of producing a hollow body from plastic material with at least one annular protrusion disposed circumferentially about the wall of the hollow body wherein the hollow body is blow molded from a tubular preform extruded into a blow molding apparatus, said apparatus having a side wall with an annular recess therein defined by a fixed surface facing axially of the preform and an axially aligned slide member movable axially into said annular recess, the recess receiving hot formable material from the preform during the blow molding thereof, said method comprising the step of: (a) moving said slide member axially and fully into said recess to compress the hot formable material therein and extrude essentially all of it out of the recess to form said protrusion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein: (a) the preform is formed with a generally uniform wall thickness as measured axially thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
86 words
The method according to claim 1 or 2, wherein: (a) the annular recess is disposed radially outwardly of a second recess in the side wall of the molding apparatus and is in serial communication therewith; (b) the slide member is moved axially fully into the first mentioned recess to compress and extrude essentially all of the material therein into the second recess; and (c) the material extruded into said second recess is compressed into said protrusion with a shape corresponding to that of the second recess.
