Abstract

An injection blow molding device in which a lip mold is formed in different shapes for an injection mold and a blow mold. Mold clamping surfaces corresponding to the different shapes are formed on the injection mold and the blow mold, respectively, to prevent an air leakage from the blow mold. An upper portion of an outside surface of the lip mold which contacts the mold is formed in a tapered surface whereas a lower end portion of the outside surface is formed in a vertical surface. The upper portion and the lower portion of a surface contacting the lip mold, of each of the injection mold and the blow mold are formed respectively in a tapered surface and a vertical surface that correspond to the tapered surface and the vertical surface of the outside surface of the lip mold. Clamping the lip mold in the injection mold is performed at the tapered surface of the upper portion and clamping the lip mold in the blow mold is performed at the vertical surface of the lower end portion.

Claims2

Dependent claims

An injection blow molding device comprising:

a lip mold that is designed for a preform and formed of a pair of split molds being clampable;
an injection mold that is designed for the preform and fitted on and clamped with the lip mold;
a blow mold that is fitted on and clamped with the lip mold;
an injection core mold that pierces the lip mold and is located in the injection mold;
and
a blow core that is inserted into the lip mold,
wherein an upper portion of a fitting surface, on which the injection mold and the blow mold are fitted, of the lip mold is formed in a surface tapered downward whereas a lower portion of the outside surface is formed in a vertical surface,
wherein an upper portion of a fitting surface, on which the lip mold is fitted, of each of the injection mold and the blow mold is formed in a surface tapered downward whereas a lower portion of the surface is formed in a vertical surface,
wherein clamping the lip mold in the injection mold is performed by putting the tapered surfaces formed on the upper portions of the fitting surfaces of both the molds into contact with each other, and
wherein clamping the lip mold and the blow mold is performed by putting the vertical surfaces formed on the lower portions of the fitting surfaces of both the molds into contact with each other.
