Abstract

When a resin article having at least one thickened part is blow-molded, a parison is extruded and suspended between halves of a blow mold the inner surface of which defines the outer shape of the article to be molded. An expander panel is inserted into the space inside the parison, and is moved toward the part of the inner surface of the blow mold corresponding to the thickened part of the article to press thereagainst a part of the parison. Then the blow mold is closed and pressurized gas is blown into the parison.
