Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten a molding step and to improve the integrity of a handle attachment in a handle plastic container in which a handle is coupled to the container during a container blow-molding process. SOLUTION: A method and an apparatus for in-mold handle attachment, in which a portion of the blow-molded container is formed about a retaining member on a handle during blow molding. After forming the container portion about the retaining member, a cooling medium is directed at the location of the container portion inn order to accelerate the cooling rate at the container portion. There is achieved at least one of an improvement in the security of the attachment of the handle to the container, and a reduction in the blow-mold processing speed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
