Claims
- 1. A method of making a bottle of saturated polyester resin from an injection molded parison by biaxial orientation, comprising:
- forming a parison of saturated polyester resin by injection molding, said parison having a neck portion, a trunk portion extending downwardly from the lower end of said neck portion, and a closed bottom portion;
- preparing a piece of saturated polyester resin having an annular portion surrounding the lower end of said neck portion of said parison, and two opposed strip-shaped portions extending downwardly from said annular portion and conforming with the diametrically opposed sides of the trunk portion of said parison;
- welding said piece on an outer face of said parison;
- placing said welded piece and said parison in a mold having a recess for receiving said welded piece and heating said piece and said parison to a biaxially orientable temperature; and
- blow-molding said piece and said parison into contact with the mold such that said piece is received in said recess and said piece and said parison are elongated longitudinally simultaneously with the
- blow-molding, whereby said piece and said parison are shaped into a bottle of saturated polyester resin having biaxially oriented projections which extend vertically on the diametrically opposed side walls of said bottle and reinforce the same.
- 2. The method according to claim 1 wherein said step of forming the parison further includes forming a neck, a thread, and a flange which define the finished neck portion of said bottle, prior to welding said piece on said parison.
- 3. A method of making a bottle according to claim 1 wherein said parison is cooled rapidly to prevent undesirable crystallization.
- 4. A method of making a bottle according to claim 1 wherein said strip-shaped piece is colored.
