Abstract
Abstract An injection blow molding machine which is compact but effective in operation. The machine comprises: a machine bed being provided with an injection molding stage having an injection mold and a mold closing mechanism, a heating stage having a heating cylinders, a stretching and blowing stage having a stretching and blowing mechanism and a releasing stage having a molded product releasing mechanism; a base plate which is attached to and above the machine bed leaving a certain space; a rotary disk which is rotatably attached to the under-surface of the base plate; a motor secured to the middle portion on the base plate and interlocked with the rotary disk by an arm and a connecting pin. The invention is characterized in that the space between the machine bed and the base plate carrying the rotary disk is fully utilized for holding mold and other necessary parts. The questions raised in reexamination request No. 90/000,455, filed Oct. 7, 1983, have been considered and the results thereof are reflected in this reissue patent which constitutes the reexamination certificate required by 35 U.S.C. 307 as provided in 37 CFR 1.570(e).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
328 words
An injection blow molding machine comprising: a machine bed having a substantially horizontal surface for mounting the operating stages of the molding machine thereon; four operation stages being disposed on the horizontal surface of the machine bed, such stages being an injection molding stage, a heating stage, a stretching and blowing stage and a releasing stage; a base plate disposed parallel to and above the horizontal surface of the machine bed; a rotary disk rotatably attached to the under-surface of the base plate; the rotary disk being provided with four neck molds, each of said neck molds being disposed correspondingly to one of said operation stages; a motor secured to a middle portion of said base plate, said motor having a drive shaft which passes through the rotary disk; an arm attached at one end thereof to the lower end of the drive shaft of the motor and at the other end thereof to a connecting pin means, the connecting pin means being engagable with the rotary disk to intermittently rotate the rotary disk to respective ones of said operation stages; a mold closing mechanism associated with the injection molding stage; a heating core inserting mechanism associated with the heating stage to heat a parison from the injection molding stage; a stretching and blowing mechanism associated with the stretching and blowing stage to stretch and blow the heated parison from the heating stage; a molded product releasing mechanism associated with the releasing stage to release the stretched and blown molded product from the stretching and blowing stage; the mold closing mechanism, heating core, stretching and blowing mechanism, and product releasing mechanism being secured on the periphery of the base plate and positioned respectively in the injection molding, heating, stretching and blowing, and releasing stages; injection mold, blow molds and heating cylinders being disposed in the space between the machine bed and the base plate; and hydraulic means associated with each of said mechanisms for the selective actuation thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

An injection blow molding machine comprising: a machine bed having a substantially horizontal surface for mounting the operating stages of the molding machine thereon; four operation stages being disposed on the horizontal surface of the machine bed, such stages being an injection molding stage, a heating stage, a stretching and blowing stage and a releasing stage; a base plate disposed parallel to and above the horizontal surface of the machine bed; a rotary disk rotatably attached to the under-surface of the base plate; the rotary disk being provided with four neck molds, each of said neck molds being disposed correspondingly to one of said operation stages; a motor secured to a middle portion of said base plate, said motor having a drive shaft which passes through the rotary disk; an arm attached at one end thereof to the lower end of the drive shaft of the motor and at the other end thereof to a connecting pin means, the connecting pin means being engagable with the rotary disk to intermittently rotate the rotary disk to respective ones of said operation stages; a mold closing mechanism associated with the injection molding stage; a heating core inserting mechanism associated with the heating stage to heat a parison from the injection molding stage; a stretching and blowing mechanism associated with the stretching and blowing stage to stretch and blow the heated parison from the heating stage; a molded product releasing mechanism associated with the releasing stage to release the stretched and blown molded product from the stretching and blowing stage; the mold closing mechanism, heating core, stretching and blowing mechanism, and product releasing mechanism being secured on the periphery of the base plate and positioned respectively in the injection molding, heating, stretching and blowing, and releasing stages; injection mold, blow molds and heating cylinders being disposed in the space between the machine bed and the base plate; and hydraulic means associated with each of said mechanisms for the selective actuation thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
82 words
The injection blow molding machine of claim 1, further including a parison core .[.asociated.]. .Iadd.associated .Iaddend.with the mold closing mechanism of the injection molding stage, a heating core associated with the heating cylinder, stretching and blowing cores respectively associated with the blowing molds and the blow-off tubes associated with the releasing stage, each mechanism being actuated by its associated hydraulic mechanism when the rotary disk is stopped, to vertically move said cores and blow-off tubes through the base plate and rotary disk.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
The injection blow molding machine of claim 1, wherein the upper surface of said base plate is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs perpendicularly disposed to the radius of said plate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
58 words
The injection blow molding machine of claim 1, further including a mold clamping cylinder secured to the machine bed, the mold clamping cylinder including a piston or ram having an upper end connected to the injection mold, to provide vertical movement of the injection mold toward and from the neck mold which is secured to the rotary disk.
