【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、入力側と出力側の一方にトリポート、他方にアウターケースを備える等速ジョイントにおいて使用される樹脂製ブーツの製造方法に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
車輌のドライブシャフト等に用いられる等速ジョイントの一つとして、トリポートタイプのジョイントがあり、例えば前輪駆動自動車の駆動用に使用されている。
【0003】
このトリポートタイプの等速ジョイントは、図7および図8に示すように、入力側と出力側の一方のシャフト(10)に、ローラ(11)を持つ3本のトラニオン(12)を軸直角方向に突設して構成したトリポート(13)と、他方のシャフト(20)の端部に設けたアウターケース(21)とからなり、アウターケース(21)はその内周に前記トリポート(13)と対応する軸方向の3本の摺動溝(22)を有し、前記トリポート(13)のローラ(11)が前記摺動溝(22)に嵌め合わされて、軸方向の摺動および両シャフトの角度付けを可能にしながら、回転トルクを伝達できるように構成されている。
【0004】
この等速ジョイントにおいても、ジョイント内部への塵埃や異物の侵入防止のために、一般にアウターケース(21)からトリポート(13)側のシャフト(10)の部分を覆うように適度に伸縮や曲げ変形が可能な蛇腹状をなす樹脂製ブーツ(1)が設けられている。
【0005】
かかる樹脂製ブーツ(1)は、軸方向の一端部が前記アウターケース(21)の外周に嵌着されてリング状バンド等の締付け部材(25)により固定される径大の取付部(52)として形成され、また他端部がトリポート側のシャフト(10)に固定される径小の取付部(53)として形成され、前記両取付部間の蛇腹部(54)とともに樹脂材料により一体に成形されている。
【0006】
ところで、前記アウターケース(21)は、図に示すように内周の摺動溝(22)の配置に対応して、外周形状も周方向に凹凸形状をなしており、そのためこれに固定される樹脂ブーツ(1)は、組み付け状態の安定性やシール性を確保するために、その内周を前記アウターケース(21)外周の形状に対応させて締め付け固定することから、径大側取付部(52)の内周を、前記アウターケース(21)外周の凹凸形状に対応した形状をなし、内側への凸状をなす厚肉部(55)と薄肉部(56)とが交互に形成されている。
【0007】
従来、上記樹脂ブーツ(1)の一般的な成形方法は、図9の金型概略断面図に示す射出成形法により1次成形品のパリソン(40)が成形される。すなわち、溶融樹脂が射出成型機(84)の先端部に設けられた射出ノズル(81)から内金型(61)と外金型(71)の間のキャビテー内に径小側取付部(53)側から射出され、樹脂ブーツ(1)の1次成形パリソン(40)が成形される。なお、前記内金型(61)は、本体(62)と勘合リング(63)とブーツ形成部(64)から構成されている。
【0008】
この1次成形パリソン(40)では、樹脂ブーツ(1)の径小側取付部(53)および径大側取付部(52)は所定形状に成形されるが、蛇腹部(54)は最終形状をなしたものではない。また、径大側取付部(52)にはアウターケースの外周に嵌着されてリング状バンド等の締め付け部材(25)により固定されるための周方向の凹部(8)が形成され、外金型(71)の径大側取付部にそのための凸部(73)が設けられている
次いで、上記成形パリソン(40)は、1次成形後の柔軟性を保ち内金型(61)に装着されたままの状態で、図10に示すインジェクションブロー成形法による2次ブロー成形用の外金型となる中空金型(72)内に移動され、空気入り口(82)からブロー管(83)を通じて金型内に空気が吹き込まれる。空気は中空金型(72)と内金型(61)の嵌に挟まれ締め付けられた径大側取付部(52)を終端部として、パリソン先端部(41)からパリソン(40)の内周部と内金型(61)の間に吹き込まれる。
【0009】
柔軟状態にある蛇腹部(54)の樹脂は、吹き込まれた空気のブロー圧力により前記中空金型(72)内面に押し付けられ(図11)、蛇腹部(54)は中空金型(72)の内面に形成された蛇腹形状にブロー成形され2次成形品が成形される。
【0010】
ところが、図12および図13の径大側取付部(52)の拡大図に示すように、前記中空金型(72)と内金型(61)によって締め付けられた径大側取付部(52)において、前記パリソン(40)と前記内金型(61)の間にわずかの隙間(79)を生じ、パリソン(40)と内金型(61)の間に吹き込まれた空気は、この隙間(79)を通路として空気漏れを発生することがある。これは、樹脂材料によるブーツの剛性がゴム材に比べて高く、前記中空金型(72)と内金型(61)の間に挟まれた径大側取付部(52)の締め付け力が不足して隙間(79)を生じ、ブロー圧力による空気漏れを発生するものである。
【0011】
この空気漏れにより、前記パリソン(40)と内金型(61)との間のブロー圧力が低下してパリソン(40)を中空金型(72)に押し付けるブロー圧力が不足し、特に径大側取付部(52)側の蛇腹部(54)に膨らみが不足した蛇腹部(58)が発生し、中でも第1山目に膨らみ不足が生じやすく所定の蛇腹形状が得られず製品不良の原因となっている。
【0012】
特に、上記空気漏れは、径大側取付部(52)の内周に交互に設けられた厚肉部(55)と薄肉部(56)の内、厚みが薄く締め付け力の不足しがちな薄肉部(56)において前記隙間(79)が生じやすく空気漏れを発生しやすい。
【0013】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上記問題に鑑みてなされたものであり、トリポートタイプの等速ジョイントに用いられる樹脂材料により一体成形して得られる樹脂製ブーツの製造方法であり、特にブロー成形時の径大側取付部からの空気漏れによる蛇腹部の膨らみ不足を防止して所定形状の樹脂ブーツを成形することができ、製品不良の発生を低減することのできる樹脂製ブーツの製造方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0014】
本発明は、等速ジョイントのアウターケース外周に取付られる軸方向一端側の径大側取付部と、トリポート側のシャフトに取り付けられる径小側取付部と、前記両取付部間の蛇腹部とが樹脂材料により一体に成形され、前記径大側取付部の内周が前記アウターケース外周に対応した非円形形状をなし、内側への凸状をなす厚肉部と薄肉部とが交互に形成されてなる等速ジョイント用樹脂製ブーツの製造方法において、1次成形で前記径大側取付部の外周端部の全周に沿って連続し筒状に形成されたスカート部を設けた成形パリソンを成形し、2次成形において前記成形パリソンの前記径大側取付部および前記スカート部を前記内金型と外金型との間に挟みブロー成形することを特徴とする等速ジョイント用樹脂製ブーツの製造方法である。
【0015】
本発明の等速ジョイント用樹脂製ブーツの製造方法では、1次成形で得られた径大側取付部の外周端部に沿って連続するスカート部を設けた成形パリソンを、2次成形の内金型と外金型とからなるブロー成形金型内に移動し、成形パリソンの径大側取付部およびスカート部を内金型と外金型との間に挟みブロー成形するものであるので、径大側取付部と内金型との間に締め付け不足による空気の通路となる隙間が生じても、外金型と内金型の間に挟まれ締め付けられた径大側取付部の外周端部に沿って連続するスカート部が前記空気の通路を閉塞し、ブロー成形時の空気漏れを防ぐことができる。
【0016】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に本発明の実施の形態を図面に示す実施例に基づいて説明する。
【0017】
図1〜図5は本発明にかかる樹脂製ブーツ(1)の成形方法の1実施例を示すもので、図1は射出成形法による1次成形パリソンを成形する金型概略断面図である。図に示すように、溶融樹脂が射出成型機(84)の先端部に設けられた射出ノズル(81)から内金型(61)と外金型(71)の間のキャビテー内に径小側取付部(53)側から射出され、樹脂ブーツ(1)の成形パリソン(42)が1次成形される。
【0018】
前記内金型(61)は、本体(62)と勘合リング(65)とブーツ形成部(64)とから構成され、勘合リング(65)のパリソン(42)側の外周部には径大側取付部(52)の外周端部に沿って連続するスカート部(57)を形成するための径小部(66)が設けら、図6に示す樹脂ブーツ部分断面図のように、径大側取付部(52)の外周端部に沿って連続するスカート部(57)が1次成形により形成される。
【0019】
また、径大側取付部(52)にはアウターケースの外周に嵌着されてリング状バンド等の締め付け部材(25)により固定されるための周方向の凹部(8)が形成され、外金型(71)の径大側取付部にそのための凸部(73)が設けられている
この1次成形パリソン(42)では、樹脂ブーツ(1)の径小側取付部(53)および径大側取付部(52)は所定形状に成形されるが、蛇腹部(54)は最終形状をなしたものではない。
【0020】
図2は、インジェクションブロー成形法による2次成形用の金型概略断面図であり、上記成形パリソン(42)は、1次成形後の柔軟性を保ち内金型(61)に装着された状態で、図に示すようにブロー成形用の中空金型(72)内に移動され、空気入り口(82)からブロー管(83)を通じて金型内に空気が吹き込まれる。空気は中空金型(72)と内金型(61)により外周部を締め付けられた径大側取付部(52)を終端部としてパリソン先端部(41)からパリソン(42)の内周部と内金型(61)の間を通過して径大側取付部(52)に向かって吹き込まれる。
【0021】
図3および図4の径大側取付部(52)の部分拡大図に示すように、径大側取付部(52)は内金型(61)と中空金型(72)との間に挟まれ締め付けられているものの、パリソン(42)と内金型(61)の間にわずかの隙間(79)を生じ、パリソン(42)と内金型(61)の間に吹き込まれた空気は、この隙間(79)を通路として空気漏れを発生しようとする。これは、従来と同じ理由で、樹脂材料によるブーツの剛性がゴム材に比べて高く、前記中空金型(72)と内金型(61)の間に挟まれた径大側取付部(52)の締め付け力が不足して隙間(79)を生じるものである。
【0022】
しかし、本実施形態によれば、1次成形により形成された径大側取付部(52)の外周端部に沿って連続して設けられたスカート部(57)が、中空金型(72)と内金型を構成する勘合リング(65)との間に挟まれ締め付けられているため、上記の隙間(79)から続く空気の通路を閉塞し、ブロー成形時の空気漏れを防止して、2次ブロー成形を行うことができる。
【0023】
また、上記空気の通路の閉塞が完全なものでない場合でも、スカート部(57)を追加することで空気の通路が延長され、空気が漏れる前にブロー圧力によって蛇腹部(54)を膨らませ中空金型(72)内面に押し付け所定形状に成形することができる。
【0024】
上記スカート部(57)の形状は、長さが径大側取付部(52)の外周端部から10〜30mmの範囲が好ましく、15mm程度がより好ましい。また、厚みは0.5〜1.5mmの範囲が好ましく、1mm程度がより好ましい。
【0025】
長さが10mm未満では上記締め付け力が偏り空気漏れ防止が充分でなく、また30mmを超えても効果は向上しない。また、厚みは0.5mm未満であると締め付け効果が得られず、1.5mmを超えると逆にスカート部に隙間が生じやすくなる。
【0026】
これによって、パリソン(42)と内金型(61)の間は密閉状態が維持され、充分なブロー圧力がパリソン内側にかかり、柔軟状態にある蛇腹部(54)の樹脂を中空金型(72)の内面形状に沿って完全に押し付けることができ(図5)、蛇腹部(54)は中空金型(72)の内面に形成された蛇腹形状にブロー成形され所定の形状を有する樹脂ブーツ(1)が成形される。
【0027】
なお、上記スカート部(57)は、径大側取付部(52)の外周端部の全周に渡って設けるのが好ましい。
【0028】
上記2次ブロー成形後のブーツは中空金型(72)および内金型(61)から離型され、径小側取付部(53)の先端密閉部分が切り取られ、図6の部分断面図に示す樹脂ブーツ(1)が得られる。なお、スカート部(57)は、樹脂ブーツ(1)をジョイントに取付ける際には通常切り取り使用されるが、取付け時やジョイント使用時に支障がなければ残しておいてもよい。
【0029】
また、前記径大側取付部(52)の内周には、1条もしくは複数条のシール用凸部(76)が設けられてもよい。このシール用凸部(76)としては、図4の実施例のように断面台形の凸部(77)の両側端部に凸条(76b)を設けたもの、図3のように、1もしくは複数状の凸条(76a)を設けたもの等、種々の形態による実施が可能であり、該凸部(76)が圧縮されることで、シール状態を良好に保持できる。
【0030】
なお、前記樹脂材料としては、熱可塑性エラストマー樹脂、中でも鉱物油あるいは植物油を配合したものが好ましい。これにより、広角度に屈曲変位して連続回転させても、擦過音等の異音の発生を抑制できる。またシール性や耐久性も良好に確保できる。さらに前記熱可塑性エラストマー樹脂として、脂肪酸アミドを配合したもの、あるいはポリエーテルを配合したものを用いることもできる。
【0031】
【発明の効果】
上記したように本発明による樹脂ブーツの製造方法では、径大側取付部の外周端部に沿って連続して設けられたスカート部が、2次ブロー成形時に中空金型と内金型を構成する勘合リングとの間に挟まれ締め付けられて、成形パリソンと内金型の間に生じる隙間から続く空気の通路を閉塞し、ブロー成形時の空気漏れを防止してブロー成形を行うことができ、また、上記空気の通路の閉塞が完全なものでない場合でも、スカート部を追加することで空気の通路が延長され、空気が漏れる前にブロー圧力によって樹脂製ブーツの蛇腹部を膨らませ中空金型内面に押し付け所定形状に成形することができるので、製品不良の発生を大きく低減することができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a resin boot used in a constant velocity joint including a tripart on one of an input side and an output side and an outer case on the other side.
[0002]
[Prior art]
One of the constant velocity joints used for vehicle drive shafts and the like is a triport type joint, which is used, for example, for driving a front-wheel drive automobile.
[0003]
As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, this tripod type constant velocity joint has three trunnions (12) each having a roller (11) on one shaft (10) on the input side and the output side. A triport (13) projecting in the direction and an outer case (21) provided at the end of the other shaft (20), and the outer case (21) is formed on the inner periphery of the triport (13). And the three sliding grooves (22) in the axial direction corresponding to the roller, and the roller (11) of the tripod (13) is fitted into the sliding groove (22), so that the axial sliding and both shafts The rotation torque can be transmitted while the angle can be angled.
[0004]
Also in this constant velocity joint, in order to prevent dust and foreign matter from entering the inside of the joint, it is generally stretched and bent appropriately to cover the portion of the shaft (10) on the tripod (13) side from the outer case (21). A resin boot (1) having an accordion-like shape is provided.
[0005]
The resin boot (1) has a large-diameter attachment portion (52) in which one end portion in the axial direction is fitted to the outer periphery of the outer case (21) and is fixed by a fastening member (25) such as a ring-shaped band. And the other end is formed as a small-diameter mounting portion (53) fixed to the tripod shaft (10), and is integrally formed with a resin material together with the bellows portion (54) between the mounting portions. Has been.
[0006]
By the way, the outer case (21) has an irregular shape in the circumferential direction corresponding to the arrangement of the inner peripheral sliding groove (22) as shown in the figure, and is therefore fixed to this. The resin boot (1) has a large-diameter side mounting portion (since the inner periphery thereof is fastened and fixed in accordance with the outer periphery shape of the outer case (21) in order to ensure the stability of the assembled state and the sealing performance. The inner periphery of 52) has a shape corresponding to the uneven shape of the outer periphery of the outer case (21), and thick portions (55) and thin portions (56) that are convex inward are alternately formed. Yes.
[0007]
Conventionally, as a general molding method of the resin boot (1), a parison (40) as a primary molded product is molded by an injection molding method shown in a schematic sectional view of a mold in FIG. That is, the small-diameter side mounting portion (53) is formed in the cavity between the inner die (61) and the outer die (71) from the injection nozzle (81) provided at the tip of the injection molding machine (84). ) Side, the primary molding parison (40) of the resin boot (1) is molded. The inner mold (61) includes a main body (62), a fitting ring (63), and a boot forming part (64).
[0008]
In this primary molded parison (40), the small diameter side mounting portion (53) and the large diameter side mounting portion (52) of the resin boot (1) are molded into a predetermined shape, but the bellows portion (54) is the final shape. It was not made. Further, the large-diameter side attachment portion (52) is formed with a circumferential recess (8) that is fitted to the outer periphery of the outer case and fixed by a fastening member (25) such as a ring-shaped band. The convex part (73) for that is provided in the large diameter side attaching part of the type | mold (71) Next, the said shaping | molding parison (40) keeps the softness | flexibility after a primary shaping | molding, and is mounted | worn with an internal mold (61) In the state as it is, it is moved into a hollow mold (72) as an outer mold for secondary blow molding by the injection blow molding method shown in FIG. 10, and from the air inlet (82) through the blow pipe (83). Air is blown into the mold. The air has a large-diameter side mounting portion (52) clamped between the fitting of the hollow die (72) and the inner die (61) as a terminal portion, and the inner periphery of the parison (40) from the parison tip (41). Between the part and the inner mold (61).
[0009]
The resin in the accordion portion (54) in a flexible state is pressed against the inner surface of the hollow mold (72) by the blow pressure of the blown air (FIG. 11), and the accordion portion (54) is pressed by the hollow mold (72). A secondary molded product is formed by blow molding into a bellows shape formed on the inner surface.
[0010]
However, as shown in the enlarged views of the large-diameter side attachment portion (52) in FIGS. 12 and 13, the large-diameter side attachment portion (52) clamped by the hollow mold (72) and the inner mold (61). , A slight gap (79) is generated between the parison (40) and the inner mold (61), and the air blown between the parison (40) and the inner mold (61) 79) may cause air leakage. This is because the rigidity of the boot made of resin material is higher than that of the rubber material, and the fastening force of the large diameter side mounting portion (52) sandwiched between the hollow mold (72) and the inner mold (61) is insufficient. As a result, a gap (79) is generated, and air leakage due to the blow pressure occurs.
[0011]
Due to this air leakage, the blow pressure between the parison (40) and the inner mold (61) is lowered, and the blow pressure for pressing the parison (40) against the hollow mold (72) is insufficient. A bellows portion (58) that is insufficiently bulged occurs in the bellows portion (54) on the mounting portion (52) side, and in particular, a bulge shortage is likely to occur at the first mountain, and a predetermined bellows shape cannot be obtained, resulting in a product defect. It has become.
[0012]
In particular, the above-mentioned air leak is a thin-walled thin-walled portion (55) and a thin-walled portion (56) provided alternately on the inner periphery of the large-diameter mounting portion (52), which are thin and tend to have insufficient tightening force. The gap (79) is likely to occur in the portion (56), and air leakage is likely to occur.
[0013]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and is a method of manufacturing a resin boot obtained by integral molding with a resin material used for a triport type constant velocity joint, and particularly has a large diameter during blow molding. To provide a method for manufacturing a resin boot that can form a resin boot having a predetermined shape by preventing the bellows portion from insufficiently bulging due to air leakage from the side mounting portion, and can reduce the occurrence of product defects. Objective.
[0014]
The present invention comprises a large-diameter side attachment portion on one axial end side attached to the outer periphery of the outer case of a constant velocity joint, a small-diameter side attachment portion attached to a triport-side shaft, and a bellows portion between the two attachment portions. It is integrally molded from a resin material, the inner circumference of the large-diameter side mounting portion has a non-circular shape corresponding to the outer circumference of the outer case, and thick and thin portions that are convex inward are alternately formed. In the method of manufacturing a resin boot for a constant velocity joint, a molded parison provided with a skirt portion that is continuously formed along the entire circumference of the outer peripheral end portion of the large-diameter side attachment portion in primary molding. A resin boot for a constant velocity joint, characterized in that the large diameter side mounting portion and the skirt portion of the molding parison are sandwiched between the inner mold and the outer mold and blow molded in the secondary molding. It is a manufacturing method.
[0015]
In the method for manufacturing a resin boot for a constant velocity joint according to the present invention, a molded parison provided with a skirt portion continuous along the outer peripheral end of the large-diameter side mounting portion obtained by primary molding is used as a secondary molding. Since it moves into a blow molding mold consisting of a mold and an outer mold, the large-diameter side mounting part and skirt part of the molding parison are sandwiched between the inner mold and the outer mold, and blow molding is performed.

FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view of a mold for secondary molding by the injection blow molding method, and the molded parison (42) is mounted on the inner mold (61) while maintaining flexibility after the primary molding. Then, as shown in the figure, it is moved into the blow mold hollow mold (72), and air is blown into the mold from the air inlet (82) through the blow pipe (83). From the parison tip (41) to the inner circumference of the parison (42), the air is terminated with a large-diameter side mounting portion (52) clamped on the outer circumference by a hollow die (72) and an inner die (61). It passes between the inner molds (61) and is blown toward the large-diameter side attachment portion (52).
[0021]
As shown in the partial enlarged views of the large-diameter side attachment portion (52) in FIGS. 3 and 4, the large-diameter side attachment portion (52) is sandwiched between the inner mold (61) and the hollow mold (72). Although being tightened, a slight gap (79) is created between the parison (42) and the inner mold (61), and the air blown between the parison (42) and the inner mold (61) Air leakage is caused to occur through the gap (79) as a passage. This is because, for the same reason as in the prior art, the rigidity of the boot made of the resin material is higher than that of the rubber material, and the large-diameter side mounting portion (52) sandwiched between the hollow mold (72) and the inner mold (61). ) Is insufficient and a gap (79) is generated.
[0022]
However, according to the present embodiment, the skirt portion (57) continuously provided along the outer peripheral end portion of the large-diameter side attachment portion (52) formed by the primary molding is a hollow mold (72). And the fitting ring (65) constituting the inner mold are clamped and tightened, so that the air passage continuing from the gap (79) is blocked, and air leakage during blow molding is prevented, Secondary blow molding can be performed.
[0023]
Even if the air passage is not completely closed, the air passage is extended by adding the skirt portion (57), and the bellows portion (54) is inflated by blow pressure before the air leaks. The mold (72) can be pressed into the inner surface to be molded into a predetermined shape.
[0024]
The shape of the skirt portion (57) is preferably in the range of 10 to 30 mm, more preferably about 15 mm from the outer peripheral end of the large-diameter side attachment portion (52). The thickness is preferably in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 mm, more preferably about 1 mm.
[0025]
If the length is less than 10 mm, the tightening force is uneven and air leakage prevention is not sufficient, and if it exceeds 30 mm, the effect is not improved. Further, when the thickness is less than 0.5 mm, the fastening effect cannot be obtained, and when it exceeds 1.5 mm, a gap is likely to be generated in the skirt portion.
[0026]
As a result, a sealed state is maintained between the parison (42) and the inner mold (61), and a sufficient blow pressure is applied to the inside of the parison, so that the resin of the bellows part (54) in a flexible state is blown into the hollow mold (72 ) (FIG. 5), and the bellows portion (54) is blow-molded into a bellows shape formed on the inner surface of the hollow mold (72) and has a predetermined shape ( 1) is formed.
[0027]
In addition, it is preferable that the said skirt part (57) is provided over the perimeter of the outer peripheral end part of a large diameter side attaching part (52).
[0028]
The boot after the secondary blow molding is released from the hollow mold (72) and the inner mold (61), and the tip sealing portion of the small-diameter side attachment portion (53) is cut off. The resin boot (1) shown is obtained. The skirt portion (57) is usually cut off when the resin boot (1) is attached to the joint. However, the skirt portion (57) may be left as long as it does not hinder the attachment or use of the joint.
[0029]
Further, one or more sealing protrusions (76) may be provided on the inner periphery of the large-diameter side attachment portion (52). As the convex portion for sealing (76), as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 4, a convex portion (76b) is provided at both end portions of the convex portion (77) having a trapezoidal cross section. Various forms such as those provided with a plurality of protruding ridges (76a) can be implemented, and the protruding state (76) can be compressed to maintain a good sealing state.
[0030]
In addition, as said resin material, what mix | blended thermoplastic elastomer resin, especially mineral oil or vegetable oil is preferable. Thereby, even if it is bent and displaced at a wide angle and continuously rotated, it is possible to suppress the generation of abnormal noise such as scratching noise. In addition, good sealing and durability can be secured. Further, as the thermoplastic elastomer resin, those containing a fatty acid amide or those containing a polyether can also be used.

【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the method of manufacturing the resin boot according to the present invention, the skirt portion continuously provided along the outer peripheral end portion of the large-diameter side mounting portion constitutes the hollow die and the inner die during the secondary blow molding. It is sandwiched and clamped between the fitting ring to close the air passage that continues from the gap generated between the molding parison and the inner mold, and blow molding can be performed to prevent air leakage during blow molding In addition, even if the air passage is not completely closed, the air passage is extended by adding a skirt, and the bellows of the resin boot is inflated by blow pressure before the air leaks. Since it can be pressed against the inner surface and molded into a predetermined shape, the occurrence of product defects can be greatly reduced.
