Biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate resin bottle-shaped container
First Claim
1. A biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate resin bottle-shaped container, said container exhibiting no substantial deformation when exposed to a temperature of 120°
- C. for 30 minutes and being made according to a method comprising the sequential steps of;
(a) thermally crystallizing a neck portion of a preform;
(b) heating said preform;
(c) biaxial-orientation blow-molding said preform at a predetermined temperature to form a primary intermediate molded bottle-shaped piece;
then(d) applying heat to said primary intermediate molded bottle-shaped piece for heat treating said primary intermediate molded bottle-shaped piece by heating said primary intermediate molded bottle-shaped piece to a temperature greater than said predetermined temperature during biaxial-orientation blow molding of said preform to thermally contract said primary intermediate molded bottle-shaped piece to form a secondary intermediate molded bottle-shaped piece; and
(e) biaxial-orientation blow-molding said secondary intermediate molded bottle-shaped piece to form said bottle-shaped container exhibiting no substantial deformation when exposed to said temperature of 120°
C. due to said application of heat to said primary intermediate molded bottle-shaped piece at said greater temperature.

Abstract
A biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate resin bottle-shaped container made by thermally crystallizing a neck portion of a preform, heating the preform, blow-molding the preform to form a primary intermediate molded bottle-shaped piece, raising the temperature of the primary intermediate molded bottle-shaped piece to a temperature greater than the temperature during blow-molding the preform to thermally contract the primary intermediate molded bottle-shaped piece to form a secondary intermediate molded bottle-shaped piece, and blow-molding the secondary intermediate molded bottle-shaped piece to form a bottle-shaped container.
