Abstract
A method for fabricating a preform (100) by providing a plurality of preform segments (101-103) which each define a portion of a preform (100), positioning said preform segments (101-103) in continuous contact with each other along at least one edge of said preform segments (101-103) such that said plurality of preform segments (101-103) define a cavity (107), and bonding each of said preform segments (101-103) to at least one other preform segment such that said plurality of preform segments (101-103) forms a continuous whole.
Claims15
A method for fabricating a preform,
- comprising the steps of:
- providing a plurality of preform segments, each of the preform segments defining a portion of a preform;
- positioning the preform segments in continuous contact with each other along at least one edge of the preform segments, such that the plurality of preform segments define a cavity;
- and
- bonding each of the preform segments to at least one other preform segment such that the plurality of preform segments forms a continuous whole.
An apparatus for the fabrication of a preform according to the method of providing a plurality of preform segments, each of the preform segments defining a portion of a preform;
- positioning the preform segments in continuous contact with each other along at least one edge of the preform segments, such that the plurality of preform segments define a cavity;
- and
- bonding each of the preform segments to at least one other preform segment such that the plurality of preform segments forms a continuous whole.
A preform, comprising a plurality of preform segments each defining a portion of the preform, each of which is bonded to at least one other preform segment so as to constitute the preform with a cavity defined by the plurality of preform segments.
A container fabricated from a preform comprising a plurality of preform segments each defining a portion of the preform, each of which is bonded to at least one other preform segment so as to constitute the preform with a cavity defined by the plurality of preform segments.
