The present disclosure presents a beverage bottle (1) comprising a beverage container part (2), a stand part (3) and a connector part (4) for connecting the stand part (3) and the beverage container part (2) to each other. Thread means (6a, 6b) are further provided for fixing the stand part (3) and the connector part (4) to each other. The disclosure also presents a method (A-C) for joining a beverage container part (2) and a stand part (3) of a beverage bottle (1).

A preform for a stretch-blow-molded plastic container includes an elongated, tube-like preform body. An outer wall and an inner wall delimit a bottom thickness (b). An outer wall and an inner wall delimit a wall thickness (w). An inner surface and an outer surface (E1) curved in three-dimensionally convex manners are spaced apart such that a distance from their respective apex (S, S′) to the preform body continuously increases. Extensions of the outer wall of the preform bottom along the outer three-dimensionally curved surface (E1), and of the inner wall of the preform bottom along the inner three-dimensionally curved surface (E2) are configured to be interrupted by set-backs area outside of their respective apex (S, S′) thereof.

Provided is a container with handle including an upper surface portion, a side surface portion, a bottom surface portion, and a grip portion formed to the side surface portion, in which the grip portion includes a first connecting end portion, a second connecting end portion, a grip body portion, and a hollow portion, and an area of a cross section of the hollow portion cut by a plane, which passes through a first end point of the second connecting end portion closest to a central axis of the container and is orthogonal to a central axis, is larger than an area of a cross section of the hollow portion cut by a plane which is at the grip body portion and is orthogonal to the central axis.

A wine bottle is provided with a punt at a lower end which includes a cork retainer therein. A cork can thus be stored within the cork retainer. In one embodiment, the cork retainer includes two retainer surfaces which are opposing each other horizontally, and spaced apart by a length similar to opposing portions of the cork to allow the cork to fit tightly between these retainer surfaces. Space above the retainer surfaces can hold a foil wrap with the cork within the cork retainer and holding the foil wrap in place. Full re-use of the bottle is thus facilitated. In one embodiment, the bottle has an octagonal shape so that multiple bottles can be shipped together and placed adjacent each other with flat surfaces distributing loads therebetween, without forces concentrated at points thereof, and to keep the bottles in good shape for washing, refilling and re-use.

A convertible beverage container includes a first pod portion and a second pod portion. The first and second pod portions are configured to alternately form (a) a pod configuration in which a base element at a base end of the first pod portion is fixably attached to an open orifice at a drinking end of the second pod portion and (b) a stemware configuration in which an attachment element at an attachment end of the first pod portion is fixably attached to an attachment region of the second pod portion to form a stemware drinking vessel having a foot, a stem, and a bowl in which the first pod portion forms the foot and stem of the stemware drinking vessel and the second pod portion forms the bowl of the stemware drinking vessel.

Disclosed are polymer vials (110, 210) and injection stretch blow molding methods for making the same. A polymer vial has a base (112) having a base surface area and a sidewall (114) extending up from the base. The base and sidewall define an interior (116) configured to house product, the sidewall narrowing at an upper section of the vial to form a neck leading to an opening that provides access to the interior. The vial is optionally round and symmetrical about a central axis, a lower portion of the sidewall including a first surface that is outwardly curved along a first radius having an imaginary center positioned within the vial. The base is positioned below the first surface and is substantially flat such that at least 80% of the base surface area has a standing base surface occupying a single plane.

A mould for forming a bottle comprising a base at one end, a neck with an opening at an opposing end, a side wall extending from the base, and a transition between the side wall and the neck, with a lower section including a debossed section that defines a bottle identification indicium, the mould comprising a mould cavity that defines the shape of the bottle, with the mould being formed to receive a replaceable mould insert that includes an embossed section for forming the debossed section in the lower section of the bottle produced in the mould.

A bottle with an anti-scald handle is provided, including a bottle body internally provided with a cavity and a handheld portion independent of the bottle body, and the handheld portion is an interlayer structure internally provided with a cavity; an inward sunken space area is provided on the bottle body; a height of the handheld portion matches the space area, and when being placed in the space area, the handheld portion is fixed with the bottle body to form a handle of the bottle. On the premise of not changing the overall shape of the bottle, the handle portion is redesigned to make the handle have an anti-scald function and solve the problem of inconvenience to clean.

Compositions comprising a fluorescein component and benoxinate component and the corresponding uses of these compositions are described herein. These compositions have improved storage life and the fluorescein component and/or benoxinate component minimally degrade after 12 to 18 months of storage.
