Filed:

Dec 5, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/315647

Inventors:

David G. Burke - Winston-Salem NC, US
Scott W. Steele - Perrysburg OH, US
Lana Grinberg - Sylvania OH, US
David Ryan - Toledo OH, US
Lorinda Yoder - Monclova OH, US

Assignee:

Primo To Go, LLC - Winston-Salem NC

International Classification:

B65D 1/02
B65D 1/42

US Classification:

220672, 215 43, 215379, 215382, 220660, 220675

Abstract:

A method of making a bottle whereby a polylactic acid preform is stretch blow molded into a biodegradable bioresin bottle. An injection molded polylactic acid or polylactide preform having a finish, a transition portion, a body portion, and a closed end cap portion for making a blow molded biodegradable bioresin bottle having a substantially circular cross-section and a substantially elliptical cross-section. A biodegradable bioresin bottle having both substantially circular and substantially elliptical cross-sectional shapes. Hoop stiffness and bottle geometry are utilized to control the bottle shape resulting from deformation caused by vacuum creation as water vapor permeates outwardly through the bottle walls.

Inventors:

Lorinda Yoder - Monclova OH, US

International Classification:

G01N021/90

US Classification:

250/372000, 209/524000

Abstract:

A method for detecting defects in a surface of a container includes: providing a plastic container having a longitudinal axis and a surface; directing ultraviolet radiation from a source to an area of the surface; sensing a portion the ultraviolet radiation that is reflected from the surface of the plastic container; and generating a signal from the sensed portion of the ultraviolet radiation representing a defect in the surface plastic container.
