  First, an outline of a composite container produced by the composite container manufacturing method (blow molding method) according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In the present specification, “upper” and “lower” refer to the upper side and the lower side in a state where the composite container 10A is erected (FIG. 1), respectively.

  A composite container 10A shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is biaxially stretched with respect to a composite preform 70 (see FIG. 3) including a preform 10a and a plastic member 40a using a blow molding die 50, as will be described later. By performing blow molding, the preform 10a of the composite preform 70 and the plastic member 40a are integrally expanded.

  Such a composite container 10 </ b> A includes a container body 10 made of a plastic material located inside and a plastic member 40 provided in close contact with the outside of the container body 10.

  Among these, the container body 10 includes a mouth portion 11, a neck portion 13 provided below the mouth portion 11, a shoulder portion 12 provided below the neck portion 13, a trunk portion 20 provided below the shoulder portion 12, And a bottom portion 30 provided below the portion 20.

  On the other hand, the plastic member 40 is in close contact with the outer surface of the container main body 10 in a thinly extended state, and is attached to the container main body 10 without being easily moved or rotated.

  Next, the container body 10 will be described in detail. As described above, the container body 10 includes the mouth portion 11, the neck portion 13, the shoulder portion 12, the trunk portion 20, and the bottom portion 30.

  Of these, the mouth portion 11 includes a screw portion 14 screwed into a cap (not shown) and a flange portion 17 provided below the screw portion 14. The shape of the mouth portion 11 may be a conventionally known shape.

  The neck portion 13 is located between the flange portion 17 and the shoulder portion 12 and has a substantially cylindrical shape having a substantially uniform diameter. The shoulder 12 is located between the neck 13 and the trunk 20 and has a shape whose diameter gradually increases from the neck 13 toward the trunk 20.

  Furthermore, the trunk | drum 20 has a cylindrical shape with a substantially uniform diameter as a whole. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the body portion 20 may have a polygonal cylindrical shape such as a rectangular cylindrical shape or an octagonal cylindrical shape. Or the trunk | drum 20 may have a cylinder shape with a horizontal cross section which is not uniform toward upper direction from the downward direction. Moreover, in this Embodiment, although the unevenness | corrugation is not formed in the trunk | drum 20, and has a substantially flat surface, it is not restricted to this. For example, unevenness such as a panel or a groove may be formed on the body portion 20.

  On the other hand, the bottom portion 30 has a concave portion 31 located in the center and a grounding portion 32 provided around the concave portion 31. The shape of the bottom 30 is not particularly limited, and may have a conventionally known bottom shape (for example, a petaloid bottom shape or a round bottom shape).

  Moreover, although the thickness of the container main body 10 in the trunk | drum 20 is not limited to this, For example, it can be made thin to about 50 micrometers-250 micrometers. Further, the weight of the container body 10 is not limited to this, but can be 10 g to 20 g. Thus, by reducing the thickness of the container main body 10, the weight of the container main body 10 can be reduced.

  Such a container main body 10 can be manufactured by biaxially stretching blow-molding a preform 10a (described later) manufactured by injection molding a synthetic resin material. As the material of the preform 10a, that is, the container body 10, a thermoplastic resin, particularly PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PEN (polyethylene naphthalate), or PC (polycarbonate) may be used. preferable. The container body 10 may be colored in colors such as red, blue, yellow, green, brown, black, and white, but is preferably colorless and transparent in consideration of ease of recycling. Moreover, you may blend and use the various resin mentioned above. Further, a vapor deposition film such as a diamond-like carbon film or a silicon oxide thin film may be formed on the inner surface of the container body 10 in order to enhance the barrier property of the container.

  The container body 10 can also be formed as a multilayer molded bottle having two or more layers. That is, by extrusion molding or injection molding, for example, the intermediate layer has gas barrier properties and light shielding properties such as MXD6, MXD6 + fatty acid salt, PGA (polyglycolic acid), EVOH (ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer) or PEN (polyethylene naphthalate). You may form as a multilayer bottle which has gas barrier property and light-shielding property by extrusion-molding preform 10a which consists of three or more layers as resin which it has (intermediate layer), and carrying out blow molding. As the intermediate layer, a resin obtained by blending the above-described various resins may be used.

  Further, by mixing an inert gas (nitrogen gas, argon gas) with the thermoplastic resin melt, a foam preform having a foam cell diameter of 0.5 to 100 μm is formed, and this foam preform is blow-molded. Thus, the container body 10 may be manufactured. Since such a container main body 10 contains the foam cell, the light shielding property of the container main body 10 whole can be improved.

  Such a container main body 10 may consist of a bottle with a full capacity of 100 ml to 2000 ml, for example. Alternatively, the container main body 10 may be a large bottle having a full capacity of, for example, 10L to 60L.

  Next, the plastic member 40 will be described. As will be described later, the plastic member 40 (40a) is provided so as to surround the outside of the preform 10a, and is obtained by being in close contact with the outside of the preform 10a and then being biaxially stretch blow-molded together with the preform 10a. It is a thing.

The plastic member 40 is thinly extended on the outer surface of the container body 10 to cover the container body 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the plastic member 40 is provided over the entire circumferential direction so as to surround the container body 10, and has a substantially circular horizontal cross section.

  In this case, the plastic member 40 is provided so as to cover the shoulder portion 12, the trunk portion 20, and the bottom portion 30 of the container body 10 except for the mouth portion 11 and the neck portion 13. Thereby, desired functions and characteristics can be imparted to the shoulder portion 12, the trunk portion 20, and the bottom portion 30 of the container body 10.

  In this case, the flange portion 17 and the upper end portion (mouth side end portion) 40e of the plastic member 40 are separated from each other. The distance h between the flange portion 17 and the upper end portion 40e of the plastic member 40 is preferably 3 mm to 10 mm (refers to 3 mm or more and 10 mm or less; the same applies hereinafter).

  The plastic member 40 may be provided in the entire region or a partial region of the container body 10 other than the mouth portion 11 and the neck portion 13. For example, the plastic member 40 may be provided so as to cover the entire body portion 20 and the bottom portion 30 of the container body 10 excluding the mouth portion 11, the neck portion 13, and the shoulder portion 12. Further, the number of plastic members 40 is not limited to one, and a plurality of plastic members 40 may be provided. For example, you may provide the two plastic members 40 in the outer surface of the shoulder part 12, and the outer surface of the bottom part 30, respectively.

  On the other hand, since the plastic member 40 is not welded or bonded to the container body 10, it can be peeled off from the container body 10 and removed. Specifically, for example, the plastic member 40 may be cut using a blade or the like, or a cutting line (not shown) may be provided in advance on the plastic member 40, and the plastic member 40 may be peeled along the cutting line. it can. Thereby, the plastic member 40 can be separated and removed from the container body 10.

  Such a plastic member 40 may have no contracting action on the preform 10a, or may have a contracting action.

  The thickness of the plastic member 40 is not limited to this, but can be set to, for example, about 5 μm to 500 μm in a state of being attached to the container body 10.

  Next, the structure of the composite preform according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the composite preform 70 includes a preform 10a made of a plastic material, and a bottomed cylindrical plastic member 40a provided outside the preform 10a.

  The preform 10a includes a mouth portion 11a, a body portion 20a connected to the mouth portion 11a, and a bottom portion 30a connected to the body portion 20a. Of these, the mouth portion 11 a corresponds to the mouth portion 11 of the container body 10 described above, and has substantially the same shape as the mouth portion 11. Moreover, the trunk | drum 20a respond | corresponds to the neck part 13, the shoulder part 12, and the trunk | drum 20 of the container main body 10 mentioned above, and has a substantially cylindrical shape. The bottom 30a corresponds to the bottom 30 of the container body 10 described above, and has a substantially hemispherical shape.

  The plastic member 40a is attached to the outer surface of the preform 10a without being bonded, and is in close contact with the preform 10a so as not to move or rotate, or in close contact with the preform 10a so as not to fall by its own weight. . The plastic member 40a is provided over the entire circumferential direction so as to surround the preform 10a, and has a circular horizontal cross section.

  In this case, the plastic member 40a is provided so as to cover the entire region of the body portion 20a excluding the portion corresponding to the neck portion 13 of the container body 10 (the neck portion corresponding portion) 13a and the entire bottom portion 30a. That is, the flange portion 17 and the upper end portion (end portion side end portion) 40e of the plastic member 40a are separated from each other. The distance h between the flange portion 17 and the upper end portion 40e of the plastic member 40a is preferably 3 mm to 10 mm. By setting the distance h to 3 mm or more, the plastic member 40a is sandwiched between the body part mold 50a and the body part mold 50b as will be described later, and this part protrudes sideways in a burr shape. Can be prevented. Moreover, the area | region which is not covered with the plastic member 40 among the container main bodies 10 after blow molding can be kept to the minimum because the distance h was 10 mm or less.

  The plastic member 40a may be provided in the entire region or a partial region other than the mouth portion 11a and the neck portion corresponding portion 13a. Furthermore, the number of plastic members 40a is not limited to one, and a plurality of plastic members 40a may be provided. For example, two plastic members 40a may be provided at two locations outside the trunk portion 20a.

  Such a plastic member 40a may be one that does not have a contracting action on the preform 10a or may have a contracting action.

  In the former case, as the plastic member 40a, for example, a blow tube produced by blow molding, a sheet molded tube produced by sheet molding, an extruded tube produced by extrusion molding, an inflation molded tube produced by inflation molding, etc. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and molding methods other than those described above may be used.

  In the latter case, that is, when the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a has an action of contracting, the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a is, for example, when an external action (for example, heat) is applied. What shrinks | contracts with respect to the reform 10a (for example, heat shrink) may be used. Alternatively, the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a itself may be contractible or elastic and can contract without applying an external action.

  Examples of the plastic member 40a include polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, poly-4-methylpentene-1, polystyrene, AS resin, ABS tree, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl acetate, Polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetal, polyvinyl butyral, diallyl phthalate resin, fluorine resin, polymethyl methacrylate, polyacrylic acid, polymethyl acrylate, polyacrylonitrile, polyacrylamide, polybutadiene, polybutene-1, polyisoprene, polychloroprene, Ethylene propylene rubber, butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, acrylic rubber, silicone rubber, fluoro rubber, nylon 6, nylon 6,6, nylon MXD6, aromatic poly Polycarbonate, poly (ethylene terephthalate), poly (ethylene terephthalate), poly (ethylene naphthalate), U polymer, liquid crystal polymer, modified polyphenylene ether, polyether ketone, polyether ether ketone, unsaturated polyester, alkyd resin, polyimide, polysulfone, polyphenylene Examples thereof include sulfide, polyethersulfone, silicone resin, polyurethane, phenol resin, urea resin, polyethylene oxide, polypropylene oxide, polyacetal, and epoxy resin. Among these, it is preferable to use thermoplastic inelastic resins such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN). Moreover, those blend materials, multilayer structures, and partial multilayer structures may be used. Furthermore, various additives other than the main component resin may be added to the material of the plastic member 40a as long as the characteristics are not impaired. Examples of additives include plasticizers, UV stabilizers, anti-coloring agents, matting agents, deodorants, flame retardants, weathering agents, antistatic agents, yarn friction reducing agents, slip agents, mold release agents, An oxidizing agent, an ion exchange agent, a coloring pigment, and the like can be added. Also, by mixing an inert gas (nitrogen gas, argon gas) with a melt of a thermoplastic resin, a foam member having a foam cell diameter of 0.5 to 100 μm is used, and this foam preform is molded. , The light shielding property can be improved.

  The plastic member 40a may be made of the same material as the container body 10 (preform 10a). In this case, in the composite container 10A, for example, the plastic member 40 can be intensively arranged at a portion where the strength is to be increased, and the strength of the portion can be selectively increased. For example, plastic members 40 may be provided around the shoulder 12 and the bottom 30 of the container body 10 to increase the strength of this portion. Examples of such materials include thermoplastic resins, particularly PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PEN (polyethylene naphthalate), and PC (polycarbonate).

  The plastic member 40a may be made of a material having a gas barrier property such as an oxygen barrier property or a water vapor barrier property. In this case, the gas barrier property of the composite container 10A can be enhanced without using a multilayer preform or a preform containing a blend material as the preform 10a, and the content liquid can be prevented from being deteriorated by oxygen or water vapor. For example, a plastic member 40 may be provided in the entire region of the shoulder portion 12, the neck portion 13, the trunk portion 20, and the bottom portion 30 of the container body 10, and the gas barrier property of this portion may be improved.

It is also possible to mix an absorbent material.

  The plastic member 40a may be made of a material having a light barrier property such as ultraviolet rays. In this case, the light barrier property of the composite container 10A can be improved and the content liquid can be prevented from being deteriorated by ultraviolet rays or the like without using a multilayer preform or a preform containing a blend material as the preform 10a. For example, a plastic member 40a may be provided in the entire region of the shoulder portion 12, the neck portion 13, the trunk portion 20, and the bottom portion 30 of the container body 10 to enhance the ultraviolet barrier property of this portion. As such a material, a blend material or a material obtained by adding a light-shielding resin to PET, PE, or PP can be considered. Moreover, you may use the foaming member with the foam cell diameter of 0.5-100 micrometers produced by mixing inert gas (nitrogen gas, argon gas) with the melt of a thermoplastic resin.

  In addition, the plastic member 40a may be made of a material having a higher cold-retaining property or higher heat-retaining property (a material having a lower thermal conductivity) than the plastic material constituting the container body 10 (preform 10a). In this case, it is possible to make it difficult for the temperature of the content liquid to be transmitted to the surface of the composite container 10A without increasing the thickness of the container body 10 itself. Thereby, the cold insulation property or heat retention property of composite container 10A is improved. For example, the plastic member 40 may be provided on the whole or a part of the body 20 in the container body 10 to enhance the cold insulation or heat insulation of the body 20. Further, when the user grips the composite container 10A, it is prevented that the composite container 10A becomes difficult to hold due to being too cold or too hot. Examples of such materials include foamed polyurethane, polystyrene, PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), phenol resin, polyvinyl chloride, urea resin, silicone, polyimide, melamine resin, and the like. It is preferable to mix hollow particles with a resin material containing these resins. The average particle diameter of the hollow particles is preferably 1 to 200 μm, and more preferably 5 to 80 μm. The “average particle size” means the volume average particle size and is measured by a known method using a particle size distribution / particle size distribution measuring device (for example, Nanotrack particle size distribution measuring device, manufactured by Nikkiso Co., Ltd.). can do. The hollow particles may be organic hollow particles composed of a resin or the like, or may be inorganic hollow particles composed of glass or the like. Hollow particles are preferred. Examples of the resin constituting the organic hollow particles include styrene resins such as cross-linked styrene-acrylic resins, (meth) acrylic resins such as acrylonitrile-acrylic resins, phenolic resins, fluorine resins, polyamide resins, and polyimides.

As content of a hollow particle, it is preferable that it is 0.01-50 mass parts with respect to 100 mass parts of resin materials contained in the plastic members 40a, and it is more preferable that it is 1-20 mass parts.

  The plastic member 40a may be made of a material that is less slippery than the plastic material that constitutes the container body 10 (preform 10a). In this case, the user can easily hold the composite container 10 </ b> A without changing the material of the container body 10. For example, a plastic member 40 may be provided on all or part of the body 20 of the container body 10 so that the body 20 can be easily held.

  The plastic member 40a may be preliminarily printed with design or printing. In this case, the printing may be formed by designing or printing the plain plastic member 40a by a printing method such as an inkjet method or a gravure printing method. This printing may be performed on the plastic member 40a before being attached to the preform 10a, or may be performed in a state where the plastic member 40a is provided outside the preform 10a. The plastic member 40a may be colored in colors such as red, blue, yellow, green, brown, black, and white, and may be transparent or opaque.

  Subsequently, the composite preform 70 heated by the heating device 51 is sent to the blow molding die 50 (see FIG. 5D).

  The composite container 10 </ b> A is molded using this blow molding die 50. In this case, the blow mold 50 is composed of a pair of body molds 50a and 50b and a bottom mold 50c which are divided from each other (see FIG. 5D). In FIG. 5 (d), the pair of body molds 50a and 50b are open to each other, and the bottom mold 50c is raised upward. In this state, the composite preform 70 is inserted between the pair of body molds 50a and 50b.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5E, after the bottom mold 50c is lowered, the pair of body molds 50a, 50b is closed, and sealed by the pair of body molds 50a, 50b and the bottom mold 50c. A blow mold 50 is formed.

  When the body molds 50 a and 50 b are closed, the mold neck 50 n, which is a part corresponding to the neck 13 of the composite container 10 A, of the blow molding mold 50 does not come into contact with the plastic member 40. (See FIG. 6). At this time, the mold neck 50n abuts on the neck corresponding portion 13a or is slightly spaced apart from the side of the neck corresponding portion 13a. For this reason, there is no possibility that the plastic member 40a is sandwiched between the body mold 50a and the body mold 50b at the position of the mold neck 50n. As a result, blow molding while the plastic member 40a is sandwiched can prevent a problem that this portion protrudes sideways in a burr shape.

  Next, air is press-fitted into the preform 10 a and biaxial stretch blow molding is performed on the composite preform 70.

  As a result, the container body 10 is obtained from the preform 10 a in the blow molding die 50. During this time, the body molds 50a and 50b are heated to 30 ° C. to 80 ° C., and the bottom mold 50c is cooled to 5 ° C. to 25 ° C. At this time, in the blow mold 50, the preform 10a of the composite preform 70 and the plastic member 40a are expanded as a unit. Thereby, the preform 10a and the plastic member 40a are integrally formed into a shape corresponding to the inner surface of the blow mold 50.

  In this manner, a composite container 10A including the container body 10 and the plastic member 40 provided on the outer surface of the container body 10 is obtained. In this case, the neck 13 of the container body 10 is not covered with the plastic member 40, and the plastic member 40 does not protrude sideways in a burr shape.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5 (f), the pair of body molds 50 a and 50 b and the bottom mold 50 c are separated from each other, and the composite container 10 </ b> A is taken out from the blow molding mold 50.

Modified Example of Manufacturing Method of Composite Container Next, a modified example of the manufacturing method (blow molding method) of the composite container 10A according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 (a) to 7 (g) has a function in which a plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a contracts with respect to the preform 10a, and other configurations are shown in FIG. 5 (a). It is substantially the same as the form shown in (f). 7A to 7F, the same parts as those in FIGS. 5A to 5F are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  First, a preform 10a made of a plastic material is prepared (see FIG. 7A).

  Next, a plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a is provided outside the preform 10a (see FIG. 7B). In this case, the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40 a has a bottomed cylindrical shape as a whole, and includes a cylindrical body 41 and a bottom 42 connected to the body 41. This plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a is mounted so as to cover the entire region of the body portion 20a except the portion corresponding to the neck portion 13 of the container body 10 and the entire region of the bottom portion 30a.

  Next, the preform 10a and the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a are heated by the heating device 51 (see FIG. 7C). At this time, the preform 10a and the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a are evenly heated in the circumferential direction by the heating device 51 while rotating with the mouth portion 11a facing downward. The heating temperature of the preform 10a and the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a in this heating step may be, for example, 90 ° C. to 130 ° C.

  In this way, the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a is heated, so that the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a is thermally contracted and is in close contact with the outside of the preform 10a (see FIG. 7C). . When the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a itself has contractibility, the plastic member at the time when the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a is provided outside the preform 10a (see FIG. 7B). (Outer contraction member) 40a may be in close contact with the outside of the preform 10a. At this time, the plastic member 40 a is attached to the outside of the preform 10 a in a state of being separated from the flange portion 17. Specifically, the plastic member 40a covers the trunk portion 20a excluding the neck corresponding portion 13a and the bottom portion 30a of the preform 10a.

  Subsequently, the preform 10a and the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a heated by the heating device 51 are sent to the blow molding die 50 (see FIG. 7D). In this case, the heating for shrinking the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a and the heating for blow-molding the preform 10a can be performed in the same process.

  The preform 10a and the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a are molded by using this blow molding die 50, and are substantially the same as those in FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (f) described above. A composite container 10A including a plastic member (outer contraction member) 40 provided on the outer surface of the container body 10 is obtained (see FIGS. 7D to 7F).

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 8A to 8G, another modified example of the manufacturing method (blow molding method) of the composite container 10A according to the present embodiment will be described. The modified example shown in FIGS. 8A to 8G has an effect that the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a contracts with respect to the preform 10a, and the preform 10a and the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a.

  Next, a plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a is provided outside the preform 10a (see FIG. 8B).

  Next, the preform 10a and the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a are heated by the first heating device 55 (see FIG. 8C). At this time, the heating temperature of the preform 10a and the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a may be, for example, 50 ° C. to 100 ° C.

  By heating the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a, the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a is thermally contracted, and is in close contact with the outside of the preform 10a. As a result, a composite preform 70 having the preform 10a and a plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a in close contact with the outside of the preform 10a is obtained (see FIG. 8C). At this time, the plastic member 40 a is attached to the outside of the preform 10 a in a state of being separated from the flange portion 17. Specifically, the plastic member 40a covers the trunk portion 20a excluding the neck corresponding portion 13a and the bottom portion 30a of the preform 10a.

  In this way, the composite preform 70 is manufactured by preliminarily bringing the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a into heat contact with the outside of the preform 10a using the first heating device 55, thereby producing the composite preform 70. And a series of steps (FIGS. 8D to 8G) for producing the composite container 10A by blow molding at different locations (factory etc.) ) Can be implemented.

  Next, the composite preform 70 is heated by the second heating device 51 (see FIG. 8D). At this time, the composite preform 70 is evenly heated in the circumferential direction by the second heating device 51 while rotating with the mouth portion 11a facing downward. The heating temperature of the preform 10a and the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a in this heating step may be, for example, 90 ° C. to 130 ° C.

  Subsequently, the composite preform 70 heated by the second heating device 51 is sent to the blow molding die 50 (see FIG. 8E).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the preform 10a and the plastic member 40a of the composite preform 70 are integrated by performing blow molding on the composite preform 70 in the blow molding die 50. As a result, a composite container 10A including the container body 10 and the plastic member 40 is manufactured. Thereby, preform 10a (container main part 10) and plastic member 40a (plastic member 40) can be constituted from another member. Therefore, various functions and characteristics can be freely imparted to the composite container 10A by appropriately selecting the type and shape of the plastic member 40.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, when the plastic member 40a is provided on the outside of the preform 10a, the plastic member 40a is mounted on the outside of the preform 10a while being separated from the flange portion 17. For this reason, the plastic member 40a is sandwiched between the body part mold 50a and the body part mold 50b during blow molding, and it is possible to prevent a problem that this part protrudes sideways in a burr shape. Thereby, 10 A of composite containers provided with various functions and characteristics, such as gas barrier property, can be produced with high quality.

  In particular, since it is not necessary to change the shape of the blow molding die 50 (particularly the shape around the die neck 50n), the conventional blow molding die is used as it is, and the container body 10 and the plastic member 40 are included. The composite container 10A can be molded.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, when producing the composite container 10A, a general blow molding apparatus can be used as it is, so that it is necessary to prepare a new molding facility for producing the composite container 10A.
