Abstract
Abstract The present invention provides a multi-layered vessel whose sectional construction comprises at least a triple-layer obtained by blow or orientation blow molding an injection molded multi-layered parison, comprising a first resin forming a body, and a second resin having gas barrier properties or heat resistance more than that of the first resin, the second resin being present as an intermediate layer of the body within the first resin, the intermediate layer being smaller in wall thickness than an outer layer of the body and being one-sided toward the outer layer, the first layer being defined into an inner layer and an outer layer by the intermediate layer, the wall thicknesses of the outer layer and the inner layer being in the ratio of outer layer to inner layer, 1:1.50 or more, preferably, in the range of 1:3.50.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
A multi-layered vessel, comprising: a vessel body defined by a peripheral wall which forms the vessel, the peripheral wall comprising at least three superposed wall layers and including at least an inner wall layer, an outer wall layer and an intermediate layer disposed between the inner and outer wall layers, the vessel body being formed by blow or orientation blow molding from an injection molded multi-layered parison, the inner and outer wall layers comprising a first resin and the intermediate layer comprising a second different resin having substantially improved gas barrier or heat resisting characteristics as compared to the first resin, the second resin being flowed into the first resin to separate the first resin and to form it into the inner and outer wall layers, the wall thickness of the intermediate layer being smaller than the outer wall layer and the wall thickness ratio of the inner wall layer to the outer wall layer being greater than 2.3:1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
159 words
A multi-layered vessel, comprising: a vessel body defined by a peripheral wall which forms the vessel, the peripheral wall comprising at least three superposed wall layers and including at least an inner wall layer, an outer wall layer and an intermediate layer disposed between the inner and outer wall layers, the vessel body being formed by blow or orientation blow molding from an injection molded multi-layered parison, the inner and outer wall layers comprising a first resin and the intermediate layer comprising a second different resin having substantially improved gas barrier or heat resisting characteristics as compared to the first resin, the second resin being flowed into the first resin to separate the first resin and to form it into the inner and outer wall layers, the wall thickness of the intermediate layer being smaller than the outer wall layer and the wall thickness ratio of the inner wall layer to the outer wall layer being greater than 2.3:1.
