Abstract
An improved method for molding a plastic container within a mold including an RFID tag to generate a container which leaves a mold having an RFID tag bonded between the container and a label. This method provides for an improved integrally, extrusion blow molded container, label and RFID tag combination.
Claims13
A multi-layered plastic container comprising:
- a neck comprising external threads and an orifice extending through the neck and external threads;
- a vessel comprising inner layer and an outer layer, wherein the inner layer and outer layer are coupled together with a heat activated adhesive;
- a label comprising an electronic signal generator;
- and
- a RFID tag comprising two or more thermally protective sheets and located within the label, wherein the label is located between the inner layer and outer layer of the vessel.
2 more elements
An extrusion blow molding system for forming a plastic container, comprising:
- three or more extruders coupled to an annular orifice;
- a die-block coupled to the three or more extruders and forming a multi-layered parison comprising at least three layers from each of the three or more extruders;
- a gas injector coupled to an internal cavity of the parison;
- a mold comprising two or more portions, wherein two or more portions couple together to form an interior surface;
- a vacuum cup that orients an electrical signal generator within the mold to orient a heat activated adhesive on the electrical signal generator that is compliable with the interior surface of the mold;
- a heated parison having an inner layer and an outer layer;
- wherein the vacuum cup orients and places the electrical signal generator into the parison prior to coupling the two or more portions of the mold, wherein when the two or more portions of the mold are coupled the gas injector pressurizes the internal cavity to form a container with the electrical signal generator formed between the inner and outer layers of the parison used to form the container.
