Abstract:
1. An apparatus for manufacturing DLC film coated plastic containers which simultaneously forms a DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) film on the inside surfaces of a plurality of plastic containers, comprising: a columnar external electrode which includes housing spaces capable of housing said plurality of plastic containers in parallel in respective independently housed states, and is a columnar external electrode formed from a single columnar body in which the inner wall surface of each of said housing spaces is shaped to surround the vicinity of the outside each of said plastic container, wherein the center axis of each of said housing spaces is parallel to the center axis of said columnar external electrode, and is positioned on the same circle in the same cross section of said columnar external electrode, and wherein said fellow housing spaces are arranged at equal spacings; internal electrodes respectively arranged inside said plurality of plastic containers housed in the housing spaces of said columnar external electrode; source gas introduction means which introduces a source gas inside each of said plurality of plastic containers; a matching box which carries out impedance matching of high-frequency loads connected to said columnar external electrode; and a high-frequency power supply connected to said matching box.
