Apparatus for making blow-molded containers having handles

摘要

Two mold sections are provided for making the body of a blow-molded synthetic plastic container. One of the mold sections has a rigid first surface whose outline corresponds to that of a generally annular handle to be formed and it has an opening corresponding to the center opening of the handle to be formed. The other mold section has a component mounted for guided movement toward and away from the surface and is itself provided with a second surface cooperating with first-mentioned one for forming the handle therewith and for forming a web-shaped severed flashing where the center opening of the handle is to be. Another component is provided on the first-mentioned mold section and has a third surface corresponding to the opening in the first-mentioned surface and being movable relative to the same and to the surface on the other mold section for withdrawing the severed flashing from the handle.
