The invention relates to a method for producing a bottle (1) made of, for example, glass, more particularly a beverage bottle, wherein an object (2) is attached to the bottle (1). According to the invention, production of a bottle (1) with permanent added value is simplified in that the bottle (1) is designed with a recess (3) and the object (2) is detachably attached in the recess (3). The invention also relates to a bottle (1) thus produced.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a mouth piece for a bottle with a twist-off crown cap closure, wherein the mouth piece comprises a mouth piece body with a dispensing opening at the end; a closure thread for interaction with a twist-off crown cap in order to close off the dispensing opening so that it is liquid-tight, which closure thread comprises a plurality of thread protrusions arranged over regions of the circumference of the mouth piece body at a predeterminable thread pitch, protruding from the exterior side of the mouth piece body; a discontinuity running circumferentially around the mouth piece body, arranged between the dispensing opening and the closure thread and formed as a result of a tool during manufacture of the mouth piece in a transition region between two orifice jaws on the one hand, and a guide disc on the other hand; wherein an exterior end of the discontinuity is offset inwards relative to an exterior surface of the mouth piece body situated between axially adjacent thread protrusions. Likewise, embodiments of the present invention relate to a corresponding bottle, to a tool for producing a mouth piece for a bottle with a twist-off crown cap closure, and to a method for producing a mouth piece for a bottle with a twist-off crown cap closure.

Disclosed herein are methods and components for manufacturing substantially square glass containers and components and a method for forming parisons are disclosed. A plunger is extended into a mold which presses molten glass against the walls of the mold and against the extended plunger. Compressed air is applied through the neck of the parison to expand the parison outwardly against another mold and an end surface defined by a baffle. The neck ring provides retention features on the neck of the glass container and can include child-resistance features. Each of the molds, neck ring, and plunger produce substantially square glass containers having a substantially square neck.

A mould for production of glass bottles includes a body provided with an internal cavity first portion shaped according to the shape of the body of the glass bottle to be made. The bottom of the mould includes a first seat which is open both at the top, in communication with the internal cavity portion, and at the bottom. The mould further includes an adapter, which is also open at the top and bottom, which can be inserted in the first seat and provided at the bottom with a further shaped seat, which is intended for receiving a neck ring with relative finish thimble and plunger.

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.

A process for producing glass bottles with shoulders includes a preform preparation step and a finishing step, in which a compressed gas is blown and the preform is rotated by 180 between the preform mold and the finishing mould. Preform preparation is achieved by introducing a glass gob into the mold through an upper aperture; inserting a blowing sleeve into the glass gob, the end of the sleeve extending beyond the shoulders of the outline of the preform of the bottle, the sleeve being closed by a plunger element slidable within its interior; opening the cavity of the sleeve to disengage the plunger element; and blowing air through the sleeve, wherein the final finishing step is achieved in an open preform mold, the volume of the cavity of the finishing mold being greater than the volume of the cavity of the preform mold by 5-20%.

The invention refers to a glass forming machine which includes a blank station for forming a parison (14) from a gob of molten glass (9) and a blow station for forming the parison (14) into a container (26) and an invert mechanism (16) which can move a neck ring (5) from the blank station to the blow station by a rotary motion and which further includes a swab robot and a control device for the swab robot, wherein the control device is set up so that the swab robot can swab and thus swab the neck ring (5) when the neck ring (5) is in an intermediate position between the blank station and the blow station. Defects in the production of bottles can thus be avoided.
