Description

[0001] The invention relates to a glass container with a base and a top, a method for sealing a glass container, and an arrangement for storing a plurality of glass containers, in particular for storing certain substances that cannot be immediately or at all reintegrated into the material cycle, including substances that must be stored securely and not freely or unprotected. This includes hazardous substances, objects, or materials that must be safely stored in suitable glass containers for up to 30 years, for example, in underground repositories (UTPs). Furthermore, hazardous substances, objects, or materials containing valuable raw materials for which no reprocessing technologies yet exist can also be accommodated or stored, thus enabling temporary storage in UTPs or plant landfills, for example, above ground.

[0002] Spherical waste repository containers, which can be assembled from two hemispherical shells, are already known from DE 10 2015 112 164.6. Their disadvantages include the complex manufacturing process and complicated storage.

[0003] From DE 10 2010 017 201.4 a final storage container is known which is composed of laminated safety glass panels or armored glass panels.

[0004] The object of the invention is to provide a glass container, a method for sealing a glass container, and an arrangement for storing a plurality of glass containers, which are simple to manufacture, use, handle, and store, and which also exhibit high strength and stability. Furthermore, the containers should be easily accessible for inspection or subsequent reuse of their contents.

[0005] Glass is a material resistant to almost all substances. A notable exception is the storage of hydrofluoric acid. Even soda-lime glass can have its chemical resistance significantly improved through appropriate treatment. It does not undergo oxidation processes like those that occur with metals. The raw material glass is readily available in large quantities due to the raw materials used in its production. Storage containers remain transparent during storage. Glass has very high compressive strength.

[0006] In a first aspect, the invention achieves, in the specified application, that a glass vessel comprising a vessel body with a vessel opening located at the top, i.e., in the upper surface of the vessel, is created, wherein a closure surface surrounding the vessel opening is present and wherein the vessel opening can be closed or sealed with a closure, wherein the closure covers or overlaps the closure surface or extends onto the closure surface, wherein a bonding layer is present between the closure surface and the closure, wherein the bonding layer can be crosslinked or crosslinked with the closure and the closure surface thermally, by means of visible and / or invisible light or chemically, and wherein the bonding layer is thermally separable or removable.

[0007] Advantageously, a glass vessel is provided which has a continuous, one-piece glass structure and which can be reliably and reversibly closed or sealed. A glass vessel according to the invention can be used for storing hazardous substances, such as waste including chemical, biological, low-level radioactive, and intermediate-level radioactive waste materials, as well as other toxic substances, and for preserving or preventing corrosive and / or oxidative processes of objects or materials. The glass vessel according to the invention advantageously has no seams in the area where the hazardous substances, objects, or materials are to be stored, thus enabling reliable and safe storage of these substances.Advantageously, the filling with pollutants, objects, or materials is simple, and the container opening can be easily closed with minimal surface area. The glass container according to the invention can have different shapes and cross-sections. For example, a cup shape, cylinder shape, balloon shape, sphere shape, or other suitable or stable shapes or vessel forms are possible. Different shapes offer corresponding advantages depending on the application and requirements. For example, a cup shape or cylinder shape facilitates easy storage and stacking.

[0008] A glass vessel according to the invention, for example in cylindrical form as a glass cylinder or in beaker form as a glass beaker, has a bottom and a vessel top with a vessel opening.

[0009] By ensuring that the opening of the glass container can be closed with a closure or that it can be releasably closed with a closure, pollutants, objects, or materials can be safely and reliably introduced, stored, and isolated within the glass container. External atmospheric or other influences on the contents can be avoided.

[0010] Suitable bonding layers include films, pasty or highly viscous materials, or combinations thereof, in the form of rings, strips, cords, beads of varying thicknesses and / or cross-sections, or compositions thereof. These materials must reliably bond with the closure and the bonding layer while also exhibiting residual elasticity to absorb and compensate for stresses between the closure and the bonding layer, and thus the glass container. The films, pasty or highly viscous materials, or combinations thereof must be easily applied or arranged by hand, with the aid of tools, or automatically onto the closure and / or closure surface. They must be thermally bonded, using visible and / or invisible light, or chemically, at least to the closure and closure surface.

[0011] For example, the closure can be laminated onto the sealing surface around the vessel opening using EVAC film.

[0012] Likewise, networking within the connection layer is conceivable, planned, desired, or required.

[0013] Advantageously, the thermal separation or detachment of the bonding layer according to the invention is also possible, so that opening the glass container is just as non-invasive as closing it. This allows controlled access to the contents of the respective glass container after a certain period of time without damaging the container.

[0014] The terms "top of the vessel" or "bottom of the glass cylinder" are initially interchangeable and depend on which end face of the cylinder points towards a storage surface and which end face of the cylinder points away from a storage surface.

[0015] A glass vessel according to the invention, for example in the form of a glass cylinder, can be produced using mouth-blown glassblowing technology, employing a wooden mold whose shape corresponds to the final glass geometry. This is a manual process capable of producing both individual pieces and series. The diameter and height of the glass vessel are freely selectable within certain limits. As is typical in mouth-blown glassblowing, the blowpipe must be continuously held in an axial rotational motion. The molten glass, with its final dimensions, is immediately inserted into the open wooden mold. While maintaining this axial rotational motion and blowing air through the blowpipe, the viscous glass adheres to the inner wall of the wooden mold. The glass cap (the upper part of the formed glass) is then removed, resulting in a glass vessel, for example in the form of a glass cylinder with a base.Using tools such as wooden blocks or other forms, the top of the vessel is shaped, including the central opening (hole). The size of the opening depends on the intended use of the resulting glass vessel, for example, as a glass cylinder.

[0016] In mouth-blown glassblowing, the glass slabs are taken from a pot furnace, for example, in a viscous form, using a blowpipe. No more than 7 kg of molten glass can be taken from the pot furnace and processed further using a blowpipe. If larger pieces are being made, fresh glass must be taken from the pot furnace several times and grafted onto the somewhat cooler glass at the blowpipe. The amount of glass to be taken is at the discretion of the glassblower and is determined based on empirical data.

[0017] For glass vessels with large geometries and therefore high drop weights, a rotary glass forming machine is particularly suitable for industrial production. This machine can process glass batches with a drop weight of 20 kg and more, making glass vessels with a capacity of over 50 liters possible.

[0018] Alternatively, press-blow machines can also be used. These can process glass billets weighing from 17 to over 20 kg. The molten glass is portioned via a plunger. A type of ram always dispenses the same amount of glass into the machine. This simplifies the process of conveying the glass via a chute into the hinged metal mold or via a ball feeder.

[0019] The preferred type of glass for glass containers, such as glass cylinders, is borosilicate glass due to its special properties. For example, borosilicate glass exhibits very high resistance to thermal shock.

[0020] However, glass compositions that correspond to float glass can also be used.

[0021] By manufacturing the glass in one piece with a continuous glass structure, thus eliminating seams or joints in a force-absorbing area of ​​the glass vessel, for example as a glass cylinder, especially when stacked and / or on a pallet, any fatigue or stress at a seam or joint is eliminated.

[0022] In a second aspect, the invention provides a method for closing a glass vessel comprising a vessel body with a top opening, wherein a closing surface surrounding the opening is present, wherein at least one bonding layer is applied to the closing surface and / or the closure, and the closure and the at least one bonding layer between it, i.e., the bonding layer applied to the closing surface and / or the closure, are arranged on the closing surface. Accordingly, at least one bonding layer is present between the closing surface and the closure, so that the at least one bonding layer is applied to the closing surface and the closure is applied to the at least one bonding layer.Furthermore, the bonding layer is thermally cross-linked, using visible and / or invisible light, or chemically, at least with the closure and the sealing surface. Advantageously, the container body, for example, a glass cylinder with a base and a top with an opening, can be sealed in such a way that it is reliably sealed and at least minimally sensitive or resistant to external influences. Moreover, the pollutants, objects, or materials introduced into the container remain unaffected by the sealing process, the bonding layer, or the material or material combination of the bonding layer. Interactions with the introduced material or filler of the bonding layer, or with the material or material combination of the bonding layer, are either eliminated or reduced to a minimum.Since the body of the glass vessel, for example as a glass cylinder with the base and the top of the vessel with the opening, is a single piece, filling and closing can be done without taking into account any joints or separation or boundary points.

[0023] In a third aspect, the invention provides an arrangement for storing a plurality of glass containers and a plurality of sealed glass containers, wherein, according to the invention, two, three or more glass containers are arranged spaced apart from one another on a first pallet or base plate, the first pallet having at least on one upper side two, three or more glass container receptacles, wherein the respective glass containers are arranged at least with their bottoms in or on the respective glass container receptacles of the first pallet or base plate, and a second pallet or a cover plate with at least on one underside two, three or more glass container receptacles is arranged on the two, three or more glass containers, wherein the respective glass containers are arranged at least with their closure and / or the top of the container in or on the respective glass container receptacles of the second pallet or the cover plate.

[0024] Alternatively, an arrangement for storing a large number of glass containers, for example as glass cylinders with a base and a container top with a closure, is also possible, wherein two, three or more glass containers are arranged spaced apart from each other on a pallet or base plate, wherein the first pallet or base plate has at least on one top surface two, three or more glass container receptacles which form or have a lateral guide for the glass containers.

[0025] To ensure safe transport and good stackability, it is essential that the glass containers on such a pallet or base plate must not touch each other under any circumstances. This also provides stress decoupling. Ideally, the pallets or base plates should be weather-resistant or corrosion-resistant for extended periods, for example, 30 years or significantly more. For this purpose, plastic pallets or base plates made from recycled material are suitable. These should be the same size as a Euro pallet, a wire mesh container, or an IBC container, or be able to be placed or arranged inside such a container. Special pallets can also be considered. These pallets or plates can be easily moved with a forklift or pallet jack and are stackable.

[0026] Glass container holders, for example in the form of spacer rings or other supports or lateral guides, preferably with a height of 50 mm, must be mounted on such pallets or base plates, onto which the respective glass containers are arranged, at least with their bottoms. The glass container holders, for example in the form of spacer rings, can already be an integral part of the pallet. This would ensure the necessary distance between the individual glass containers.

[0027] Depending on the size and design of the glass container, such as a glass cylinder, for example 2 x 4 glass cylinders can be safely transported on a EURO pallet, with a distance of 50 mm between the individual glass containers.

[0028] Advantageously, glass containers, for example as glass cylinders, can be arranged from the filling point of the glass container over short distances onto a pallet, for example a EURO pallet or a special pallet or onto a base plate or a wire mesh box or IBC wire mesh box, using drum lifters and / or drum hoists and transported with the pallet or wire mesh box or IBC wire mesh box.

[0029] Advantageous embodiments of the aspects of the invention are presented in the dependent claims.

[0030] An advantage of the glass container is that the surface of the closure facing the closure surface is complementary to the closure surface, which promotes a stress-free fit of the closure as well as the tightness of the bonding layer between the closure and the closure surface in, on or around the opening of the container and the prior filling.

[0031] Advantageous for glass containers is a closure that is flat, stepped, convex or concave, curved or inclined, sloping towards the opening of the container or frustoconical in shape, which promotes the tightness, reliability and stability of the bonding layer between the closure and the sealing surface in, on or around the opening of the container as well as the preceding filling.

[0032] Advantageous for glass containers is a sealing surface that is flat, stepped, convex or concave, inclined or funnel-shaped, which promotes the tightness and stability of the bonding layer between the closure and the sealing surface in, on or around the container opening.

[0033] An advantage of the glass vessel is the presence of a sealing surface on a flange at, in or around the vessel opening, or a sealing connection at the vessel opening, or an annular radial extension pointing away from the vessel opening, which provides an enlarged contact or adhesive surface for the bonding layer on the closure and on the sealing surface, thereby promoting the sealing and the reliability of the bonding layer.

[0034] An advantage of the glass vessel is the presence of a sealing surface around the vessel opening or at an end face of a tubular or ring-shaped axial extension of the vessel body surrounding or forming the vessel opening, so that there is also an enlarged contact or bonding surface for the bonding layer, which also promotes the sealing and reliability of the bonding layer.

[0035] Thus, an enlarged area is used, for example, for laminating or bonding an EVAC film (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer film) or another bonding agent, such as suitable films or pasty or highly viscous materials or combinations thereof, as rings, strips, cords, beads of different thicknesses and / or cross-sections or compositions or pasty or highly viscous materials or combinations thereof.

[0036] This also makes it possible to later open the glass container or remove the closure by thermally separating or dissolving the bonding layer.

[0037] It is advantageous for glass vessels to have surface-treated inner surfaces. Depending on the type of glass, a surface treatment such as alkalization is beneficial, as this increases the glass's chemical resistance. To adjust the melting and processing temperature of the glass to an economically viable range, alkali metal oxides are added. However, these not only reduce the melting temperature but also the chemical resistance of the glass. To increase chemical resistance, it is sufficient to remove the near-surface alkali metal ions. Alkalizing agents, which are available as commercial products, remove these near-surface alkali metal ions and deposit them as salts on the glass surface.

[0038] For glass containers, it is advantageous if the closure is a glass plate or a metal plate, for example a stainless steel plate, and / or if the closure is a molded piece and / or includes a tool holder, a reliable, sustainable and easy-to-handle closure is achieved.

[0039] By laminating the closure, for example a glass or metal plate, to the top of the glass container around the opening using a bonding layer, such as an EVAC film, a temperature- and age-resistant bond is achieved between the closure and the bonding layer, as well as between the bonding layer and the container opening, thus ensuring a reliable and lasting seal. The closure could also be made of other highly resistant and durable materials.

[0040] It is advantageous to use a glass closure, preferably borosilicate glass, in order to manufacture the glass vessel and the closure from only one material, which is known to be very durable.

[0041] Since the closure of the glass container is a molded piece and / or includes a tool holder, the bonding layer, for example an EVAC film (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer film), can be twisted to open it after heating, using a tool or standard tool. Cross-shaped, slotted, square, or hexagonal designs are possible.

[0042] The closure with the fitting and / or the tool holder in the closure can be manufactured, for example, using pressed borosilicate glass.

[0043] By placing an intermediate layer on the bottom of the glass container before filling it, damage or destruction of the bottom of the glass container during filling can be prevented, or hard impacts can be dampened, depending on the pollutant, objects or materials.

[0044] By using the process of lamination to crosslink the bonding layer with the closure and the sealing surface in order to close the glass container and thus the container opening, a temperature- and age-resistant bond is achieved between the closure and the bonding layer as well as between the bonding layer and the sealing surface around the container opening, thus ensuring a reliable and sustainable closure.

[0045] For example, the crosslinking of the connecting layer with the closure and the connecting layer is achieved by laminating at least one EVAC film (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer film) between the closure and the closure surface around the vessel opening.

[0046] By using infrared radiation and / or resistance heating or induction heating or induction radiators for lamination to seal the opening during the filling process, the pollutant, objects or materials in the glass container are not heated, and heat is only introduced spatially in the area of ​​the seal and the EVAC film.

[0047] For opening the glass container according to the invention, in order to extract valuable raw materials from the pollutants, objects, or materials, possibly through further developments of reprocessing technologies, thermal separation or dissolution of the bonding layer is provided. Other variants for non-destructive opening are also possible.

[0048] For example, by preheating the seal and the EVAC film to, say, 150 degrees Celsius until they soften, the seal, such as a glass or metal plate, can be removed with a simple twisting motion. A magnetic key would then lift the metal plate upwards, providing access to the contaminants, objects, or materials.

[0049] Advantageously, in this arrangement, the two, three, or more glass containers, for example, glass cylinders, form a storage level between the first pallet or base plate, which has two, three, or more glass container holders on its upper surface, and the second pallet or top plate, which has two, three, or more glass container holders on its underside. This creates a unit for multiple stacking of glass containers arranged on a single pallet or base plate. In this way, several arrangements of two pallets or plates with glass containers positioned between them can also be stacked.

[0050] The arrangement includes at least one intermediate pallet or intermediate plate with two, three or more glass vessel receptacles on its underside and two, three or more glass vessel receptacles on its upper side, wherein the intermediate pallet is arranged on the two, three or more glass vessels, for example as glass cylinders, of the first pallet or base plate or a further intermediate pallet below it, and wherein two, three or more glass vessel receptacles with further two, three or more glass vessels are arranged on the upper side of the intermediate pallet, wherein a further intermediate pallet or the second pallet with the two, three or more glass vessel receptacles on its underside is arranged on the two, three or more glass vessels, and the two,If three or more glass containers form at least one additional storage level between at least one intermediate pallet or plate and the second pallet, or between further intermediate pallets or plates, the glass containers are stacked in two or more levels with appropriate contact protection and stress decoupling. Furthermore, space is saved during stacking, as an additional single, lower, first, or second pallet can be omitted.

[0051] A two-tiered arrangement of the glass vessels, for example as glass cylinders, is advantageous. A first layer of glass vessels can be arranged on a lower, first pallet or base plate, followed by at least one intermediate pallet or plate, and then a second layer of glass vessels with an intermediate pallet or plate, or a second pallet placed on top of that. The intermediate pallet or plate positioned between the first and second layers of glass vessels has the glass vessel holders facing upwards and downwards.

[0052] A container consisting of pallets or plates and glass containers, in one layer or level or in two levels or layers, can be banded with standard steel or plastic bands and is therefore transportable and stackable.

[0053] By having the two, three, or more glass container holders as an integral part of the first pallet or base plate and / or the second pallet and / or the intermediate pallet or intermediate plate and / or the top plate, or by attaching or connecting the glass container holders to the first pallet or base plate and / or the second pallet and / or the intermediate pallet or intermediate plate and / or the top plate, different designs, arrangements of the glass containers, and the necessary or suitable materials, as well as different sizes and shapes for the respective pallets, plates, and / or intermediate pallets, can be provided, depending on the requirements. This allows for the use of plastics, composite materials, or recycled materials for the plates and / or intermediate pallets.

[0054] An advantage of this arrangement is that the first and second pallets are interchangeable, with each pallet being usable rotated 180 degrees, and / or the intermediate pallet also being usable rotated 180 degrees. The pallet structure is identical for both the lower (first) and upper (second) pallets, including the glass vessel holders, for example, in the form of spacer rings, other holders, or lateral guides. The lower (first) pallet can be rotated 180 degrees and placed on top of the upper (second) pallet.

[0055] Advantageously, in or on the respective glass vessel holders, relaxation mats as thin mats or thin rings or wreaths made of preferably weather-resistant material can be inserted or provided for cushioning and decoupling and for reducing stresses of the glass vessels within the glass vessel holders.

[0056] It is advantageous to have recesses in and around the glass container receptacles in the area of ​​the glass plate or metal plate as a closure, or to have the glass container receptacles designed accordingly, in order to avoid unwanted pressure on the glass container or the bottom or on the top of the container with the opening or on the closure, for example as a glass plate or metal plate.

[0057] It is advantageous for support elements to be present between, on, or under the pallets in this arrangement. This ensures that the glass containers are not subjected to any or only minimal stress, at least in the form of pressure and load, as well as impacts during storage, stacking, packaging, and / or transport, and that the pressure, load, or impacts are predominantly or completely transferred or absorbed by the support elements.

[0058] The support elements are advantageously located, for example, on the first pallet and / or on the respective intermediate pallet, whereby a pallet placed on top of it is supported as a second pallet or as a further intermediate pallet without putting any load on the glass containers below or between them on the respective storage levels.

[0059] Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that the support elements are present between the first pallet and the second pallet.

[0060] Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that support elements are present between the first pallet or the second pallet and the intermediate pallet and / or between the intermediate pallets.

[0061] It may also be provided that support elements are present between the first pallet and the top plate.

[0062] The glass containers located between the respective pallets on the corresponding storage level can be relieved of pressure forces, loads, and impact impulses.

[0063] The support elements can be arranged in, on, or attached to support element receptacles on the first pallet and / or on the intermediate pallet.

[0064] The support elements can alternatively or additionally be inserted or placed between two respective pallets.

[0065] Alternatively or additionally, the support elements can also be arranged on the outer edges or outer edge surfaces of the respective pallets.

[0066] Advantageously, the support elements are arranged at or in the area of ​​the four corners of the respective pallets.

[0067] The support elements can also be arranged between the glass cylinders.

[0068] Advantageously, the support elements are arranged at such a distance from the glass cylinders that the glass cylinders do not collide.

[0069] The support element holders can be arranged separately on or attached to the respective pallet. Alternatively or additionally, the support element holders can be part of the respective pallets and / or part of the glass container holders.

[0070] The support elements can be rod-shaped or column-shaped columns. The support elements or columns can form a truss or incorporate stiffeners or bracing. Likewise, at least two of the support elements or columns can be connected.

[0071] The advantageous arrangement involves placing two, three, or more glass containers in a wire mesh container between the first pallet or base plate, which has two, three, or more container holders on its top surface, and the second pallet or top plate, which has two, three, or more container holders on its underside. This arrangement offers improved transportability and stackability, as well as better protection for the glass containers during transport. The glass containers can be advantageously arranged in or on the container holders within the wire mesh container, completely decoupled from any stacks on the first pallet or base plate. Any sufficiently large and high wire mesh container, including IBC containers with or without metal walls, can be used.Advantageously, the first pallet or base plate and / or the second pallet or top plate can be clamped or secured against the wire mesh box or wire mesh box wall, so that lateral movement of the first pallet or base plate and / or the second pallet or top plate and thus of the glass containers during transport is prevented or at least minimized.

[0072] Several embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings and are described in more detail below. They show: Fig. 1. A schematic representation of a glass cylinder in three-dimensional and top view. Fig. 2 a schematic representation of a glass cylinder as a sectional view, Fig. 3 a schematic representation of an arrangement for storing a large number of glass cylinders with a storage plane as a sectional view, Fig. 4 A schematic representation of an arrangement for storing a large number of glass cylinders in two storage planes as a sectional view, Fig. 5 to Fig. 8 schematic representations of glass cylinders, Fig. 9 a schematic representation of an arrangement for storing a large number of glass cylinders in a storage plane as a spatial representation, Fig. 10 A schematic representation of an arrangement for storing a large number of glass cylinders in a storage plane as a sectional view, Fig. 11 A schematic representation of an arrangement for storing a large number of glass cylinders in a storage plane as an exploded view, Fig. 12 a schematic representation of a closure from different perspectives and Fig. 13 a schematic representation of a glass cylinder in spatial representation and in top view as well as in lateral section view.

[0073] The Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a glass vessel 1 according to the invention in the form of a glass cylinder 1 with a base 2 and a vessel top 3, wherein the glass cylinder 1, base 2, and vessel top 3 are manufactured in one piece, either as a single unit or as a single seam or joint or interface. The vessel top 3 has an opening 4. This opening 4 can be closed by means of a closure 5, or is closed, so that a sealed container can be formed for the controlled storage of pollutants or other substances, objects, or materials.

[0074] The closure 5 is, for example, a glass or metal plate and is located on the upper surface 3 of the vessel on the closure surface 18 around the opening 4 and with and by means of a bonding layer 6, for example an EVAC film 6, as shown in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the closure 5 and the closure surface 18 are laid on top and laminated in a cross-linking manner. This creates a reliable and durable bond between the closure surface 18 on the vessel top 3 and the closure 5.

[0075] The Fig. Figure 2 shows as a detailed view the upper area of ​​the glass vessel 1 in the form of a glass cylinder 1 with vessel top 3 as a schematic representation, wherein the closure 5 is cross-laminated on the closure surface 18 around the vessel top 6 around the opening 4 with the closure 5 and the closure surface 18 by means of the bonding layer 6, for example an EVAC film 6.

[0076] The closure 5 includes, as in the Fig. 1 and Fig. Figure 2 shows a molded part 7, depending on the material, and / or already has the shape of a molded part 7 [not shown]. The molded part 7 simplifies the subsequent opening of the closure 5, as it can be more easily twisted off using the molded part 7, whereby the opening is achieved by heating the bonding layer 6, which is a laminated EVAC film 6.

[0077] For example, a glass plate or a metal plate can be used as the closure 5 of the glass vessel 1, which is in the form of a glass cylinder 1. Different cross-sections of the closure 5 are possible, with a round cross-section being advantageous. The closure 5 should completely cover or overlap the closure surface 18 around the opening 4, or extend onto the closure surface 18 and, for example, advantageously overlap the closure surface 18 or the vessel top 3 by between 10 and 40 mm.

[0078] Furthermore, it is advantageous to use a bonding layer 6, for example, made or prepared from the EVAC film 6 according to the cross-section of the closure 5, for laminating or crosslinking 4 of the bonding layer 6 at least with the closure 5 and the closure surface 18.

[0079] The inner diameter of the rings of the bonding layer 6 corresponds to the diameter of the opening 4 in the upper surface 3 of the glass vessel 1 in the form of a glass cylinder 1. The width of the rings of the bonding layer 6 is between 10 and 40 mm larger on all sides than the diameter of the opening 4 in the upper surface 3 of the glass cylinder 1 and corresponds to the width of the sealing surface 18.

[0080] The thickness of the bonding layer 6 as EVAC film 6 depends on the surface properties of the closure 5 and the closure surface 18 of the vessel top 3 of the glass vessel 1 in the form of a glass cylinder 1.

[0081] Advantageously, the closure 5 is laminated with a bonding layer 6 in the form of three rings of EVAC film 6, each with a thickness of 1.14 mm, placed on top of each other on the closure surface 18 of the vessel top 3 of the glass cylinder 1.

[0082] The number and thickness of the rings of the bonding layer 6 in the form of EVAC film 6 for good lamination between the surface closure 18 of the vessel top 3 of the glass cylinder 1 and the closure 5 as a glass plate or metal plate depends in particular on the surface quality and surface unevenness of the vessel top 3 of the glass vessel 1 in the form of a glass cylinder 1.

[0083] The glass vessels 1 in the form of a glass cylinder 1 with a base 2 and a vessel top 3 can be produced by a method for manufacturing a glass vessel 1 in the form of a glass cylinder 1 with a base 2 and a vessel top 3, wherein at least one mold is first provided. Subsequently, a drop of molten glass is introduced into the mold, whereby the drop of glass is formed in the at least one mold into a glass vessel 1, for example, in the form of a glass cylinder 1 with a base 2. Furthermore, after or during the forming into a glass vessel 1, for example, in the form of a glass cylinder 1 with a base 2, the vessel top 3 and the closure surface 18 are subsequently or simultaneously formed with the at least one mold, with another mold, or as a freeform using guided tools.The resulting glass vessel 1, for example in the form of a glass cylinder 1 with a base 2 and a top 3, is thus formed in one piece without a seam, joint, or interface. A tempering process is then carried out to allow the glass to cool and relax in a controlled manner.

[0084] During the forming of the vessel top 3, an opening 4 is provided or produced or formed in the vessel top 3.

[0085] Advantageously, to increase or create chemical resistance of the glass, a surface treatment is carried out before controlled cooling by alkalization of the inner surfaces of at least the glass vessel 1, for example in the form of a glass cylinder 1 and the base 2.

[0086] The surface treatment as alkalization of the inner surfaces of at least the glass vessel 1, for example in the form of a glass cylinder 1 and the base 2, can alternatively or additionally also be carried out before and / or after the shaping of the vessel top 3.

[0087] Furthermore, the method for filling a glass vessel 1, for example in the form of a glass cylinder 1 with a base 2 and a vessel top 3, with pollutants or other substances, objects or materials is provided, wherein the glass vessel 1, for example in the form of a glass cylinder 1, is filled via an opening 4 in the vessel top 3 and the opening 4 is closed after filling.

[0088] Advantageously, before filling the glass vessel 1, for example in the form of a glass cylinder 1, an intermediate layer 8 is placed on the bottom 2 of the glass vessel 1 as padding and mechanical protection of the bottom 2.

[0089] In the inventive method for sealing a glass vessel 1, in which a sealing surface 18 surrounding the vessel opening 4 is provided, a bonding layer 6 is applied to the sealing surface 18 and / or the closure 5. The closure 5 and the bonding layer 6 located between the sealing surface 18 and the closure 5, or the bonding layers 6 located between the sealing surface 18 and the closure 5, are arranged on the sealing surface 18. The bonding layer 6 or the bonding layers 6 are then cross-linked with the closure 5 and the sealing surface 18 thermally, by means of visible and / or invisible light, or chemically.

[0090] The opening 4 is sealed, for example, by laminating the at least one bonding layer 6 as an EVAC film 6, wherein the at least one bonding layer 6 is cross-linked with the closure 5 and the sealing surface 18 on the upper surface of the vessel around the opening 4. The necessary thermal energy for the lamination is supplied by infrared radiation, microwave, induction and / or by resistance heating.

[0091] As shown above, the closure 5 should advantageously overlap the opening 4 with the closure surface 18 on the vessel top 3 by between 10 and 40 mm on all sides. Depending on the cross-section of the closure 5 and the size of the opening 4, at least one bonding layer 6 in the form of EVAC film 6 is manufactured or prepared as a ring for lamination or crosslinking.

[0092] Depending on the surface texture and surface unevenness of the closure surface 18 on the upper surface 3 of the glass vessel 1, for example in the form of a glass cylinder 1, rings of different thicknesses and different numbers of at least one bonding layer 6 in the form of EVAC film 6 or another material for the at least one bonding layer 6 are placed on top of each other on the closure surface 18 on the upper surface 3 of the glass vessel 1, for example in the form of a glass cylinder 1, for lamination or crosslinking and laminated with the closure 5.

[0093] For the thermal process of lamination of the bonding layer 6 in the form of EVAC film, several advantageous variants are not yet conceivable.

[0094] If a closure 5 is used as a glass plate, a heat source, for example an infrared lamp, is installed above the glass vessel 1, for example in the form of a glass cylinder 1, and above the closure surface 18 on the upper surface 3 and the closure 5, perpendicular to the closure 5. The heat thus generated below the lamp leads, for example, to a temperature of approximately 150 degrees Celsius in the bonding layer 6, which is in the form of EVAC film, and is maintained for a period of 15 to 20 minutes, so that the bonding layer 6, in the form of EVAC film, melts and can crosslink with the closure surface 18 and the closure 5, thus ensuring a reliable lamination process.

[0095] If, alternatively, a metal plate, for example stainless steel, is used as closure 5, heating can be achieved in a manner comparable to closure 5 as a glass plate. Reference is made to the description above. Alternatively, electric resistance heating via the metal plate itself or via inductive heating as heat input onto or through the metal plate itself can also be considered.

[0096] During the crosslinking or lamination process, care must be taken to ensure a continuous and bubble-free connection of the bonding layer 6, for example in the form of molten EVAC film 6, so that a reliable and secure attachment of the closure 5 and also a reliable and secure sealing of the closure 5 with the closure surface 18 on the upper surface 3 of the glass vessel 1, for example in the form of a glass cylinder 1, is achieved.

[0097] Due to the brief heating of the closure 5, the sealing surface 18, and the bonding layer 6 (e.g., in the form of EVAC film 6), a greater heating of the pollutant, objects, or materials in the glass container 1 (e.g., a glass cylinder 1) is prevented. A maximum temperature of 65 degrees Celsius is reached on the surface of the pollutant, objects, or materials in the glass container 1 (e.g., a glass cylinder 1).

[0098] The Fig. 3 and Fig. Figure 4 shows a schematic representation of the arrangement according to the invention for storing a plurality of glass vessels 1, for example in the form of glass cylinders with a base 2 and a vessel top 3, wherein, according to the invention, two, three or more glass vessels 1 are arranged spaced apart from one another on a first, lower pallet 9. The first pallet 1 has at least two, three or more glass vessel receptacles 10 on at least one upper surface. The respective glass vessels 1 are arranged at least with their base 2 in the respective glass vessel receptacles 10 of the first pallet 1.

[0099] A second pallet 11, with at least two, three, or more glass vessel receptacles 10 on at least one underside, is arranged on top of the two, three, or more glass vessels 1 that are on the first pallet 9. The respective glass vessels 1 are positioned with at least their upper surfaces 3 in the respective glass vessel receptacles 10 of the second pallet 11.

[0100] The two, three or more glass vessels 1 between the first pallet 9 with the two, three or more glass vessel receptacles 10 on the top and the second pallet 11 with the two, three or more glass vessel receptacles 10 on the bottom form a storage level.

[0101] In the respective glass vessel receptacles 10, stress-relieving mats 13 are inserted as thin mats in the area of ​​the base 2 and as thin rings in the area of ​​the vessel top 3, preferably made of weather-resistant material, to cushion and decouple and to reduce stresses on the glass vessels 1. To avoid undesirable pressure on the glass vessels 1, as well as on the vessel top 3 and / or on the closure 5, the stress-relieving mats 13 are recessed in the glass vessel receptacles 10, particularly in the area of ​​the closure 5, as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 is shown. Alternatively or additionally, the respective glass vessel mount 10 may be elaborated [not shown].

[0102] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 3, support elements 14 are provided, which are arranged between the first pallet 9 and the second pallet 11.

[0103] The first pallet 9 and the second pallet 11 are advantageously interchangeable. This allows the first pallet 9 and / or the second pallet 10 to be used rotated and / or turned 180 degrees.

[0104] The two, three or more glass container holders 10 can be an integral part of the first pallet 9 and / or the second pallet 11. For example, plastic pallets that already include the glass container holders 10 are also possible [not shown].

[0105] Alternatively, like the Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 shown, the glass vessel holders 10 are attached to the first pallet 9 and the second pallet 11.

[0106] In contrast to and supplementing Fig. 3 with a storage level, shows the Fig. Figure 4 shows a schematic representation of the arrangement according to the invention for storing a plurality of glass vessels, for example, in the form of glass cylinders 1 with a base 2 and a vessel top 3 with two storage levels. For this purpose, an intermediate pallet 12 is provided with two, three, or more glass vessel holders 10 on its underside and with two, three, or more glass vessel holders 10 on its upper side. The intermediate pallet 12 is arranged on the two, three, or more glass vessels 1 that are arranged on the first pallet 9. Two, three, or more further glass vessels 1 are arranged on the intermediate pallet 12 in the two, three, or more glass vessel holders 10 on its upper side. The second pallet 11, with at least two, three, or more glass vessel holders 10 on its underside, is arranged on top of these two, three, or more glass vessels 1.The two, three or more glass containers 1 between the intermediate pallet 12 and the second pallet 11 form another storage level, so that there are a total of two storage levels.

[0107] As an alternative to one intermediate pallet 12, further intermediate pallets 12 can also be provided, the resulting stack being bounded or closed off by a first pallet 9 and a second pallet 11. Depending on the number of intermediate pallets 12, further glass containers 1 are arranged between them, and additional storage levels can be created.

[0108] Just as the first pallet 9 and the second pallet 11 are interchangeable, by turning the first pallet 9 and / or the second pallet 10 each 180 degrees and / or rotating them, the intermediate pallet 12 can also be turned 180 degrees and / or rotated.

[0109] The two, three or more glass vessel holders 10 can be an integral part [not shown] of the intermediate pallet 12, attached to it, or connected to the intermediate pallet 12, as in Fig. 4 shown.

[0110] According to the invention, the two, three, or more glass containers 1 can be arranged in a wire mesh box [not shown] between the first pallet 9 or base plate 9, which has two, three, or more glass container receptacles 10 on its upper surface, and the second pallet 11 or cover plate 20, which has two, three, or more glass container receptacles 10 on its underside. Conventional wire mesh boxes or IBC wire mesh boxes, which are advantageously stackable, are suitable as wire mesh boxes.

[0111] The Fig. Figure 5 shows a schematic representation of a glass vessel 1 according to the invention in the form of a glass cylinder 1 with a base 2 and a convexly curved or frustocylindrically shaped upper surface 3. The glass vessel 1, with its base 2 and upper surface 3, is manufactured in one piece, either as a single unit or at a seam or joint or interface. The upper surface 3 has an opening 4, around which an upwardly directed tubular or annular axial extension 15 is present. At the axial end of the tubular or annular axial extension 15, a sealing surface 18 is provided, onto which the closure 5 can be laminated by means of the bonding layer 6, for example in the form of EVAC film 6, and thus thermally, by means of visible and / or invisible light, or chemically crosslinked with the closure 5 and the sealing surface 18, thereby making the glass vessel 1 sealable or closed.

[0112] The Fig. Figure 6 shows a schematic representation of a glass vessel 1 according to the invention in the form of a glass cylinder 1 with a base 2 and a frustocylindrical upper surface 3. The glass vessel 1, with its base 2 and upper surface 3, is manufactured in one piece, either as a single unit or at a joint or interface. The upper surface 3 has an opening 4, with an upwardly directed tubular or annular axial extension 15 projecting around the opening 4. A flange 16, a circular radial extension 19 with a sealing surface 18, is located on the tubular or annular axial extension 15 around the opening 4. The flange 16 with the sealing surface 18 is oriented perpendicular to the axial extension of the glass vessel 1.The closure 5 can be laminated to the flange 16 or to the circular radial extension 19 pointing away from the opening 4 and from the tubular or ring-shaped axial extension 15 with the closure surface 18 by means of the bonding layer 6, for example in the form of EVAC film 6, by crosslinking with the closure 5 and the closure surface 18, and thus the glass vessel 1 can be closed or sealed.

[0113] The Fig. Figure 7 shows a schematic representation of a glass vessel 1 according to the invention in the form of a glass cylinder 1 with a base 2 and a frustocylindrical upper surface 3. The glass vessel 1, with its base 2 and upper surface 3, is manufactured in one piece, either as a single unit or as a joint or interface. The upper surface 3 has an opening 4, and around the opening 4 on the upper surface 3 is a flat, annular sealing surface 18. The seal 5 can be laminated to this sealing surface 18 by means of the bonding layer 6, for example in the form of EVAC film 6, by cross-linking with the seal 5 and the sealing surface 18, thus closing or sealing the glass vessel 1.

[0114] The Fig. Figure 8 shows a glass vessel 1 according to the invention in the form of a glass cylinder 1, as shown in Fig. Figure 6 is shown, so that, essentially and for identical features, reference is made to its description. In contrast to the glass vessel 1 according to the invention, as shown in Figure 6, the glass vessel 1 is described in Figure 6. Fig. As shown in Figure 6, an upwardly directed tubular or annular axial extension 15 is present around the opening 4 on the upper surface 3 of the vessel. A sealing surface 18, in the form of an annular radial extension 19 pointing away from the opening 4 and the tubular or annular axial extension 15, is located on the tubular or annular axial extension 15. This sealing surface 18 is funnel-shaped or conical in the direction of the opening 4. The closure 5, for example in the form of EVAC film 6, can be laminated to the sealing surface 18 or to the annular radial extension 19 pointing away from the opening 4 and the tubular or annular axial extension 15 by means of the bonding layer 6. This can be done by cross-linking the closure 5 with the sealing surface 18, thus sealing or closing the glass vessel 1.

[0115] The statements according to the Fig. 5 and Fig. 7 require additional glass processing of the upper edge, which means additional effort.

[0116] In the execution according to the Fig. 8 has the circular radial extension as a closure surface 18 around the opening 4 or on the axial extension a slightly inclined, thus angularly sloping, or concave, conical or funnel-shaped design, so that a closure 5, for example made of glass with a conical ground edge, may be used if necessary.

[0117] The Fig. Figures 9 to 11 show an arrangement according to the invention for storing a plurality of glass vessels 1 according to the invention in the form of glass cylinders 1, which, as described above, each comprise a bottom 2 and a vessel top 3 with an opening 4.

[0118] According to the invention, as described in the Fig. 9 and Fig. Figure 11 shows six glass vessels 1 in the form of glass cylinders 1 arranged at intervals from one another on a first pallet 9. The first pallet 1 has six glass vessel recesses 10 on its upper side, in which the glass vessels 1 are arranged with their bases 2 and, in the area of ​​the base 2, with the cylinder wall, as shown in the Fig. 9 and Fig. Figure 10 is shown. The glass vessel images 10 surround, as in the Fig. 9 and Fig. Figure 10 shows the glass vessels 1 in the area of ​​the base 2 laterally. Furthermore, a cover plate 20 is present with at least six glass vessel receptacles 10 on at least one underside, the glass vessel receptacles 10 being as shown in the Fig. Figure 9 shows the arrangement of the six glass vessels 1. As shown in the Fig. 10 shows the glass vessels 1 arranged at least with the closure 5, the connecting layer 6 and the closure surface 18 as well as the annular radial extension 19 in the respective glass vessel receptacle 10 of the cover plate 20.

[0119] Accordingly, the six glass vessels 1 between the first pallet 9 with the six glass vessel receptacles 10 on the top and the cover plate 20 with the six glass vessel receptacles 10 on the underside form a storage level, as shown in the Fig. 9 shown.

[0120] Here, the glass vessel holders 10 are attached to the first pallet 9 and to the cover plate 20. Furthermore, as shown in the Fig. 9 to 11 are shown, between the first pallet 9 and the top plate 20 support elements 14 are present.

[0121] To close the opening 4 of the glass vessels 1, proceed as described in Fig. 10 and especially in Fig. Figure 11 shows an exploded view of the closure 5 laminated with at least one bonding layer 6 in the form of EVAC film 6 on the closure surface 18 of the vessel top 3 or a closure surface 18 on a flange 16 or a closure surface 18 on the annular radial extension or on a closure surface 18 around the opening 4 by crosslinking with the closure 5 and the closure surface 18.

[0122] Closure 5, for example, is as shown in Fig. Figure 12 shows a glass or metal plate, which, for example, has or does not have a shoulder 21 as a centering aid and an optionally stepped, annular support area 22 or laminating area radially adjoining it. The shoulder 21 or the optionally present centering aid projects into the opening 4 or into the tubular or ring-shaped axial extension 15. The optionally stepped annular support area 22 can be laminated, for example, by means of the bonding layer 6 in the form of EVAC film 6, to the sealing surface 18 on the flange 16, or to the sealing surface 18 on the annular radial extension 19, or to the sealing surface 18 directly around the opening 4 by cross-linking with the closure 5 and the sealing surface 18, or can be attached or fixed or affixed in another reliable manner to close the glass vessel 1, for example, as a glass cylinder 1.

[0123] The closure 5 includes a tool receptacle 7 in the form of a cross-shaped recess, as shown in the Fig. Figures 10 to 12 show a tool or standard tool into which a tool or standard tool can be inserted and the closure 5 can be twisted for opening after heating of the compound layer 6, for example in the form of EVAC film ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer film 6, using the tool or standard tool.

[0124] According to the Fig. The glass vessels 1 shown in Figures 5 to 8 can be produced using the inventive method described above. In addition to mouth-blown glassblowing, industrial processes are also possible.

[0125] In addition to shaping the glass vessel 1, for example as a glass cylinder 1 with a base 2, the upper part is shaped as the vessel top 3 of the glass cylinder 1. From a certain height or length in the axial direction of the glass cylinder 1, as in the Fig. Figures 5 to 8 show the upper surface of the vessel 3 angled radially inwards, similar to mouth-blown glass, either at right angles to the glass cylinder wall or at an angled, truncated cylindrical shape. This angle can be varied and depends on the diameter of the glass cylinder 1 and the size of the opening 4 in the upper surface of the vessel 3.

[0126] Then, for glass vessels, for example, glass cylinders as in the Fig. 5, Fig. 6 and Fig. Figure 8 shows an angled section parallel to the glass cylinder wall, forming the tubular or ring-shaped axial extension 15. The length of this axial extension can vary from glass cylinder 1 to glass cylinder 1 as required.

[0127] Then follows, as in the Fig. 6 and Fig. 8 shows an upper angled section in a radial direction as a form of the annular radial extension 19 or as a flange 16 perpendicular to the glass cylinder wall or at an angle to it.

[0128] Besides glass vessels as glass cylinders with a smaller opening 4 compared to the cross-section of the interior in a shaped vessel top 3, the cup shape, balloon shape, sphere shape or other suitable or stable shape variants or vessel shapes are also possible.

[0129] Accordingly, the Fig. Figure 13 shows a glass vessel 1 according to the invention in different views, the vessel body 1 of which has a cup shape. An axially surrounding closure surface 18 is provided on the end face of the upper vessel opening 4. The vessel opening 4 can be closed with a closure 5. The closure 5 covers or overlaps the closure surface 18. A bonding layer 6 is present between the closure surface 18 and the closure 5. The bonding layer 6 can be crosslinked with the closure 5 and the closure surface 18 thermally, by means of visible and / or invisible light, or chemically, as described above. Furthermore, the bonding layer 6 can be thermally separable or dissolved.

[0130] Besides methods such as mouth-blowing of no more than 7 kg of molten glass from the pot furnace, a press-blowing machine can also be used, which can process batches of glass weighing from 17 to over 20 kg. Here, the molten glass is portioned via a plunger, ensuring that the same amount of glass is always fed into the machine.

[0131] Filling is carried out as described above. For sealing, one or more bonding layers 6, such as EVA film rings or other materials, are applied to the sealing surface 18, which is located on the flange 16 or the annular radial extension 19 or axially on the end face of the vessel top 3 around the vessel opening 4. This is followed by the application of a suitable closure 5, such as the one shown in the image. Fig.Figure 12 shows the components laid on the surface. The one or more bonding layers 6 can also be provided on the closure 5, or alternatively. Subsequently, for crosslinking, local heating and lamination are carried out to seal the components. The closure 5, for example, as a glass plate, can be flat or stepped, or, depending on the shape of the closure surface 18, may have a conical bevel or a conical shape at the bearing area 22.
