Abstract
Disclosed is a mold for the manufacture, from a blank, of a container having a body and a base provided with a peripheral seat. The mold includes: a wall bearing the impression of the body of the container and provided with an opening; a mold base which is movable relative to the wall between an extended position and a retracted position; the mold base having a peripheral surface which corresponds to a join between the seat and the base of the container and terminates in an edge which is raised with respect to the seat surface. In the extended position of the mold base, the edge extends vertically perpendicular to the opening and, in the retracted position of the mold base, the edge extends near the opening.
Claims20
A molding assembly for manufacturing a container having a body and a bottom provided with a peripheral base that extends essentially perpendicularly to the body starting from a lower end of the body, the molding assembly starting with a blank to manufacture the container, the molding assembly comprising:
- a wall having an inner surface that determines at least in part the impression of the body of the container and that delimits a cavity that extends around a central axis, with the inner surface ending, at a lower end, in an opening around the central axis;
- a mold bottom configured to move in relation to the wall between an extended position, in which the mold bottom is separated from the opening, and a retracted position, in which the mold bottom blocks the opening, the mold bottom having an upper surface that defines a base surface bearing the impression of the base of the container and that extends vertically perpendicular to the opening,
- wherein the upper surface of the mold bottom defines a peripheral surface that corresponds to a join between the base and the body of the container, the peripheral surface extending into the lengthening of the base surface around the base surface and ending by a raised edge in relation to the base surface,
- in the extended position of the mold bottom, the raised edge extends vertically perpendicular to the opening, and
- in the retracted position of the mold bottom, the raised edge extends in the vicinity of the opening.
