This relates to blow molded containers, and particularly to the formation of blow molded containers formed of a plastic material which is subjectable to a high degree of biaxial orientation for maximum strength. Two containers are formed in each blow molding operation with each container having throughout the stress areas thereof a high degree of biaxial orientation. A container may be in the form of a bottle having an as formed open bottom which is closed by a metal end unit seamed in place. Other containers will have open mouths closed by conventional closures including metal end units which are seamed to the container body or by closure caps which may be releasably interlocked with the neck finish of the container in several known modes. In every instance the containers are formed with a minimum of scrap. This abstract forms no part of the specification of this application and is not to be construed as limiting the claims of the application.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A method of simultaneously forming two blow molded plastic containers, said method comprising the steps of providing a tubular preform having an open end and a closed end, placing said preform in a blow mold cavity of greater length than said preform, introducing a blowing gas into said preform through said preform open end and blow molding said preform with the stretching of said preform both axially and radially to an intermediate shape defining at least two containers each having an open end defined by a radially outwardly directed biaxially oriented seaming flange with said flanges being generally in opposed relation, said preform open end remaining constant, and cutting said intermediate shape to separate and define said two containers.
2.
A method according to claim 1 wherein said flanges prior to cutting of said intermediate shape are joined together by way of an integral ring member free of joints.
3.
A method according to claim 2 wherein said ring member is removed to separate said containers.
4.
A method according to claim 2 wherein said preform open end projects from said ring member.
5.
A method according to claim 2 wherein said ring member has an axis extending in the same general direction as an original axis of said preform.
6.
A method according to claim 2 wherein said ring member has an axis extending generally normal to the original axis of said preform.
7.
A method according to claim 1 wherein said preform open end forms a mouth of one only of said containers.
8.
A method according to claim 1 wherein said containers are identical.
9.
A method according to claim 1 wherein said preform open end forms one end of one of said containers, and the open end of said one container is the bottom of said one container.
10.
A method according to claim 1 wherein said open end of said one container is closed by a metal bottom seamed to said one container.
11.
An intermediate article of manufacture comprising an integral blow molded hollow plastic member having an open neck portion and at least two separate containers integrally joined together, and each of said containers has an open end defined by a biaxially oriented seaming flange
