Provided is a method for manufacturing a glass container with which a glass container having a distinctively shaped inner space and excellent aesthetic appearance can be manufactured in good yield. The method for manufacturing a glass container includes steps (A) to (E). (A) A step of introducing a gob into a mold through a funnel. (B) A step of blowing air into the mold through the funnel, bringing a plunger disposed on a side opposite the side to which the funnel is fitted in contact with the gob, separating the plunger from the gob, and forming a recess on the surface of the gob. (C) A step of removing the funnel from the mold and fitting a baffle to the mold. (D) A step of blowing air from the plunger, and forming an inner space inside the gob with the recess as a starting point while simultaneously forming an outer shape by pressing the outer side of the gob to a molding surface of the mold to obtain a glass container of the final shape. (E) A step of transferring the glass container of the final shape to a cooling mold and cooling the same.

The invention relates to a method of fabricating a glass container, the method comprising a forming step of forming molten glass in order to obtain a semi-finished container (4) comprising a shell (5) presenting inside and outside faces (7, 8), a cooling step during which said semi-finished container is in a transient state in which the glass forming said outside face is sufficiently viscous for it not to deform under the effect of gravity, while the glass forming said inside face is sufficiently fluid to allow said inside face to deform under the effect of gravity, said method including a shaping operation while the semi-finished container is in said transient state, in which operation the semi-finished container is maintained for a predetermined time in a position that is inclined relative to its upright vertical position in order to modify the shape of said inside face under the effect of gravity.

A method of fabricating glass containers, and a corresponding fabrication installation.

A glass bottle includes a body having a closed end, a shoulder spaced from the end, a neck extending from the shoulder, and a neck finish at an end of the neck for attachment of a closure, characterized in that the neck finish and at least a portion of the neck adjacent to the neck finish have non-circular internal surfaces.

A method of molding a wine bottle adapted for use with one but not both of a cork-type plug closure or a Stelvin-type threaded closure includes forming a glass parison having a temporary body and a completed neck finish contoured for receiving either a cork-type plug closure or a Stelvin-type threaded closure. The glass parison is transferred to a mold stage, and the temporary body of the parison is blow molded at the mold stage to form a glass container having a neck coupled to the neck finish. With both neck finish geometries, the neck adjacent to the neck finish has external (L and K) dimensions adapted to receive a Stelvin-type threaded closure and a cylindrical interior adapted to receive a cork-type plug closure.

The invention relates to a method, comprising: feeding at least one molten-glass parison into a parison mold; forming, in the parison mold, a blank of an item from said at least one parison; transferring the blank of the item into a finishing mold; and forming the item in the finishing mold. While forming the item in the finishing mold, excess glass is directed out of the base of the item so as to form a convex bulge, and said bulge is removed such that the thickness of the base of the item is substantially constant.

A machine is for the manufacture of a hollow glass article that includes at least one thin side wall. The machine includes at least one molten glass parison distributor, a blank mold including a cavity designed to successively receive at least one parison of molten glass, and components that form a blank of the article in the blank mold, transfer the blank into a cavity of the finishing mold, and form the article in the finishing mold. The cavity of the finishing mold includes at least one side part provided with a concave cavity to form, on the side wall of the article, a convex bulge directed towards the exterior of the article. The machine further includes a component that removes the bulge to give the side wall of the article a substantially constant thickness.
