Abstract

PURPOSE:To manufacture a number of containers with little unevenness by pressing cutters larger than the peripheral edges to a sheet at given intervals from the peripheral edges of resective recessed sections and then pressing by a plug to make the same projected into the recessed sections and vacuumizing inside the recessed sections. CONSTITUTION:A thermally softened thermoplastic resin sheet 12 is positioned between top and bottom molds 1 and 2, and the bottom force 2 is lifted up and the sheet 12 is placed on the upper surface of bottom force 12. The top force 1 is lowered and blades 10a at the ends of cutters 10 are brought into contact with the sheet 12 and lowered further to cut the sheet 12. Further the top force 1 is lowered and brought into contact with a round sheet 12' on a recessed sections 3 by means of a plug 11 and the central section of the round sheet 12' is pushed into the recessed sections 3, and simultaneously when the plug 11 is pushed in completely, collection tubes 7 and 9 are connected with a vacuum container 8 and the vicinity of outer periphery of the round sheet 12' is bonded with the vicinity outside the peripheral edge of the recessed section and also the sheet 12' in the recessed section 3 is bonded with the inner surface of the recessed section 3 to form a container 14.

However, in the conventional vacuum forming method described above, the sheet inside the periphery of the concave part of the mold is drawn into the concave part by vacuum to form a container, so the sheet is greatly stretched and it is difficult to form the sheet with a uniform wall thickness. It is difficult to do so, and has the disadvantage of producing a container with uneven thickness.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the method of the present invention heats and softens a thermoplastic resin sheet and places it on a mold in which four stages are formed. In the vacuum forming method, in which the sheet is brought into close contact with the inner surface of the recess to form a molded product, a force greater than the periphery is applied to the sheet at a predetermined interval from the periphery of each recess. After that, press the center of the sheet on the four parts with the plug and press it against the periphery/
- The tip is slid and protrudes into the recess, and the inside of the recess is evacuated.

Next, lower the upper mold l, and cut the blade 1 at the tip of the cutter 10.
When 0a contacts 7-h12 and is further lowered, the sheet 12 is cut, but the softened /-t is not cut.
The cutter 10 is connected with the thin film, and the cutter 10 is housed in the mold 1 as the upper mold 1 is lowered. When the upper mold l further descends and the plug 11 hits the circular sheet 12 on the recess 3, the center of the circular sheet l 2' is pushed into the four parts 3, and the circular sheet 12 outside the recess periphery 3a is It slides on the peripheral edge 3a and is drawn into the recess 3.

At this time, the collecting pipe 7 has a pressurized volume i! (connected to 9, 1'1
11 Since air is blown out from the tube 6, the circular sheet 12' easily slides against the periphery, and since its periphery is connected by the thin film 12'a, it is easily stretched, and the circular sheet 12'' is pushed into the fourth part 3 with almost no stretching. At the same time that the plug 11 is completely pushed in and the state shown in Fig. 2 (Q) is reached, the collecting pipes 7 and 9 are both connected to the vacuum vessel 8, and the vicinity of the outer periphery of the circular sheet 12° is closed to the vicinity of the outer periphery of the four parts. At the same time, the sheet 1 in the recess 3
2° is in close contact with the inner surface of the recess 3 to form a container 14. When this is cooled and the gathering space 5.7 is connected to the pressurized container, air is blown out from the thin tubes 4 and 6, and the numerous containers 14 formed by each recess 3 are formed by the thin film 12°a. It will be released along with the connected notes.

In addition, although the provision of the thin tube 6 makes it easier to slide the circular sheet and release the mold, it is necessary to avoid disadvantageous conditions such as an increase in the number of switching knobs and collecting tubes, or the lower mold being pulled apart. Even without this, it is possible to create a container with relatively little uneven thickness.

As described above, in the method of the present invention, by pressing the cutter, the /-1- at the top of the four parts is not completely cut off, but it is connected by a thin film to form a jfg. When pressed, the sheet outside the periphery of the recess slides along the periphery and enters the recess, and is vacuumed in this state, so the area of the /-t that is closely packed on the inner surface of the recess is large, and the sheet is stretched. Since the ratio is small, a container with less uneven thickness can be obtained.
