Claims13
A combination of a mold and plastic container comprising:
- at least two mold portions engaged to form an interior surface having a temperature of at least 420° F.;
- a label and an electrical signal generator, the generator being fabricated from materials to retain its signal generating functionality after being heated over 420° F., the generator being fabricated to be compliable with the interior surface of the mold and the generator having first and second sides coated with a heat activated adhesive, the label being located adjacent to the interior surface, and separating the generator from the internal surface;
- and
- a parison having at least an interior layer defining an interior and an exterior layer, the interior being pressurized to expand the parison to force the exterior layer into contact with the generator, label and interior surface to reshape the parison into a plastic container located within the mold portions, the plastic container including a threaded neck portion integrally molded with a vessel portion.
1 more element
A plastic container comprising:
- a label and an electrical signal generator enclosed by 2 sheets of material to retain its signal generating functionality after being heated over 420° F., at least a portion of each the generator being fabricated to be compliable with the interior surface of a mold;
- and
- a hollow plastic container fabricated from at least an interior layer of plastic and an exterior layer of plastic, the container including a neck portion integrally molded with a vessel portion, one of the sheets being bonded to the vessel portion by an heat activated adhesive and the other of the sheets being bonded to the label by a heat activated adhesive.
