Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for tubularly drawing a tubular raw material of thermoplastic resin. Gas for forming a bubble to heatingly draw the tubular raw material is injected into the raw material from a direction opposite to a direction for transferring the raw material through a nozzle. The raw material is cut into a plurality of web-like pieces by cutting blades provided on pinch rolls for taking up the raw material. One of the web-like pieces thus cut is separated from the others and formed with an opening into which the nozzle is inserted to inject the gas.
