Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a glass container for food, in particular for baby food, comprising a mouthpiece that can engage with a container lid for closing the glass container, a cylindrical main body, a shoulder section extending between the lower end of the mouthpiece and the upper end of the cylindrical main body, widening to the diameter of the cylindrical main body, a concave curvature section adjoining the mouthpiece and a convex curvature section transitioning into the cylindrical main body, a base whose underside forms the base of the glass container, and a transition section extending between the lower end of the cylindrical main body and the base.tapering to the diameter of the base surface and having an upper convex curvature section adjoining the cylindrical main body and a lower convex curvature section transitioning into the base surface.
[0002] Such glass containers come in many shapes and variations. Since these are everyday items used in large quantities, they must be manufactured with minimal technical and economic effort while still meeting the demands placed upon them, particularly regarding mechanical and thermal stress.
[0003] Based on this, the invention aims to further develop a glass container of the type described above in such a way that it can be manufactured with low production costs while reducing the amount of glass required for its production, meets the specified mechanical and thermal load requirements, and can also be stored and transported in a simple manner with low economic and space requirements.
[0004] This problem is solved according to the invention in that, in a glass container of the type described above, the concave curvature section of the shoulder section adjoining the mouthpiece has a constant radius of expansion of 2.0 mm to 6.0 mm, and that the convex curvature section of the shoulder section transitioning into the cylindrical main body has a constant radius of expansion.By specifying constant expansion radii for the concave and convex curvature sections of the shoulder section, in conjunction with a size range of 2.0 mm to 6.0 mm for the constant expansion radius of the concave curvature section, the shoulder section of the glass container—which connects the mouthpiece and the cylindrical main body of the glass container and extends into the area of the critical transition between the mouth shape and the shape of the glassmaking machine during the manufacturing process—can be produced with a high level of manufacturing quality. This results in a reduction of the total amount of glass required for the glass container while maintaining the same resistance to mechanical and thermal stresses.
[0005] If the theoretical wall thickness of the glass container according to the invention is 1.5 mm to 2.0 mm, preferably approximately 1.9 mm, the amount of glass required for its manufacture, and thus the weight of the glass container, can be further reduced for a given volume of the glass container.
[0006] The height of the mouthpiece of the glass container can advantageously be approximately 7.7 mm, which allows the mouthpiece, provided it has the usual diameter of approximately 49 mm and suitable threaded elements on its outer surface, to cooperate with common container lids for opening and closing the glass container.
[0007] Advantageously, the diameter of the glass container at the transition between the mouthpiece and the shoulder section is slightly smaller than the diameter of the mouthpiece and is approximately 46.5 mm.
[0008] Similar manufacturing advantages, such as those found in the design of the shoulder section of the glass container according to the invention, can be achieved if the upper convex curvature section of the transition section between the cylindrical main body and the base or the contact surface of the glass container formed by the underside of the base, which adjoins the cylindrical main body, also has a constant first tapering radius.
[0009] The same applies if, furthermore, the lower convex curvature section of the transition section, which merges into the contact surface, also has a constant second tapering radius.
[0010] According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the glass container according to the invention, the constant second tapering radius of the lower convex curvature section of the transition section, which merges into the base surface, is 4.0 mm to 6.0 mm, preferably approximately 5.0 mm.
[0011] If the height of the transition section between the lower end of the cylindrical main body and the base is 0.90 to 1.30 times the height of the shoulder section between the lower end of the mouthpiece and the upper end of the cylindrical main body, the result is a comparatively aesthetically pleasing and balanced design of the glass container.
[0012] In order to avoid edge formations and the like on the glass container according to the invention, it is advantageous if every transition into an expansion radius, from an expansion radius, into a reduction radius, from a reduction radius and between expansion radii or reduction radii is continuously formed.
[0013] Greater adaptability of the design of the shoulder section to different size specifications for the glass container according to the invention is achieved if a shoulder tangent is formed between the concave curvature section of the shoulder section adjoining the mouthpiece and the convex curvature section of the shoulder section transitioning into the cylindrical main body, the length of which can be specified differently.
[0014] For this purpose, the shoulder tangent of the shoulder section with the horizontal can advantageously form an angle of 40° to 50°, preferably 45.2°.
[0015] The constant expansion radius of the concave curvature section adjoining the mouthpiece can advantageously be 4.0 mm to 6.0 mm, preferably 5.0 mm, which contributes to an aesthetically pleasing and stable design of the shoulder section in common sizes of the glass container according to the invention.
[0016] In addition, to enhance this effect, the constant extension radius of the convex curvature section of the shoulder section, which transitions into the cylindrical main body, can be 6.0 mm to 10.0 mm, preferably approximately 8.0 mm.
[0017] The length of the shoulder tangent of the shoulder section can be 4.4 mm to 5.4 mm, preferably 4.9 mm, in the advantageous embodiments of the glass container according to the invention described above.
[0018] The diameter of the cylindrical main body can be 59.7 mm to 62.3 mm, preferably approximately 61.0 mm, which allows glass containers according to the invention to be designed with minimal effort for common volumes and in an aesthetically pleasing shape.
[0019] Furthermore, it is advantageous if the constant first tapering radius of the upper convex curvature section of the transition section adjoining the cylindrical main body is 21.0 mm to 29.0 mm, preferably 25.3 mm, and is therefore comparatively large, resulting in a harmonious diameter reduction of the glass container in the direction of the base surface of the glass container.
[0020] The diameter of the base can then advantageously be approximately 46.8 mm, thereby achieving a stable stand for the glass container and an aesthetically pleasing design.
[0021] If the height between the lower end of the cylindrical main body and the base is approximately 14 mm and the height of the shoulder section is approximately 14.2 mm, the height of the transition section between the lower end of the cylindrical main body and the base is 0.9 to 1.1 times, preferably approximately 1.0 times, the height of the shoulder section between the lower end of the mouthpiece and the upper end of the cylindrical main body, thereby achieving a harmonious and balanced shape of the glass container according to the invention.
[0022] In the glass container according to the invention, the height of the cylindrical main body can be approximately 31.1 mm, approximately 60.1 mm, approximately 72.1 mm or approximately 81.1 mm, whereby, with the same mouthpiece, same shoulder section, same transition section and same base, the glass container according to the invention can be manufactured with low manufacturing effort and a weight of 75 g, 100 g, 115 g or 120 g for the common container sizes of baby food of 125 g, 190 g, 220 g and 250 g.
[0023] If the glass container according to the invention is to be used for smaller container sizes of baby food, it is advantageous if the constant expansion radius of the concave curvature section adjoining the mouthpiece is 2.0 mm to 4.0 mm, preferably 3.0 mm.
[0024] The constant expansion radius of the convex curvature section of the shoulder section, which transitions into the cylindrical main body, can then advantageously be 4.5 mm to 7.5 mm, preferably approximately 6.0 mm.
[0025] An aesthetically pleasing and balanced design of the glass container according to the invention can be achieved for small container sizes if the length of the shoulder tangent of the shoulder section is 1.8 mm to 2.8 mm, preferably 2.3 mm.
[0026] The diameter of the cylindrical main body can be 53.7 mm to 56.3 mm, preferably approximately 55.0 mm, which allows glass containers according to the invention to be designed with minimal effort for common small volumes and in an aesthetically pleasing shape.
[0027] In order to adapt the shape of the glass container according to the invention to small volumes, it is advantageous if the constant first tapering radius of the upper convex curvature section of the transition section adjoining the cylindrical main body is 15.0 mm to 20.0 mm, preferably approx. 17.7 mm.
[0028] The diameter of the base can then advantageously be approximately 40.8 mm, thereby achieving a stable stand for the glass container and an aesthetically pleasing design.
[0029] If the height between the lower end of the cylindrical main section and the base is approximately 12 mm and the height of the shoulder section is approximately 9.5 mm, the height of the transition section between the lower end of the cylindrical main body and the base is 1.2 to 1.3 times, preferably approximately 1.26 times, the height of the shoulder section between the lower end of the mouthpiece and the upper end of the cylindrical main body, thereby achieving a harmonious and balanced shape of the glass container according to the invention, even for smaller container sizes.
[0030] In the glass container according to the invention for small container sizes, the height of the cylindrical main body can be approximately 23.8 mm, which, with the same mouthpiece as in the case of the other previously described embodiments of the glass container according to the invention, allows it to be manufactured with low manufacturing effort and with a weight of 55 g for the common container size of baby food of 80 g.
[0031] The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to embodiments and the drawing. The drawing shows: Fig. 1 a side view of a first embodiment of a glass container for baby food according to the invention; Fig. 2 a side view of a second embodiment of the glass container for baby food according to the invention; Fig. 3 a side view of a third embodiment of the glass container for baby food according to the invention; Fig. 4 a side view of a fourth embodiment of the glass container for baby food according to the invention; Fig. 5 a side view of a fifth embodiment of the glass container for baby food according to the invention; and Fig. 6 an enlarged view of the shoulder section of the Fig. 1 to 4 shown embodiments of the glass container for baby food according to the invention.
[0032] A in Fig. Figure 1, a glass container 1 shown in a side view of a first embodiment, serves to hold food, in this case baby food. For this purpose, the glass container 1 has a mouthpiece 2, a cylindrical main body 3 and a base 4.
[0033] The opening of the mouthpiece 2 can be closed by means of a container lid (not shown in the figures). For this purpose, the mouthpiece 2 has threaded elements 5 on its outer surface which engage with threaded elements provided on the container lid. The height of the mouthpiece 2 of the glass container 1 is approximately 7.7 mm. Accordingly, the mouthpiece 2 can be moved into and out of engagement with the container lid to close and open the glass container 1. The mouthpiece 2 is designed for a container lid with a diameter of approximately 51 mm and itself has a diameter of approximately 49 mm.
[0034] A shoulder section 6 extends between the lower end of the mouthpiece 2 and the upper end of the cylindrical main body 3 of the glass container 1. At the transition between the mouthpiece 2 and the shoulder section 6, the diameter of the glass container 1 is approximately 46.5 mm and is therefore smaller than the diameter of the mouthpiece 2 in the area of its opening. From the diameter at the transition between the mouthpiece 2 and the shoulder section 6, the shoulder section 6 widens to the diameter of the cylindrical main body 3 of the glass container 1, which is approximately 61 mm.
[0035] To bring about the diameter expansion, the shoulder section 6, as can be seen most clearly from Fig. 6 results in a concave curved section 7 adjoining the mouthpiece 2 and a convex curved section 8 transitioning into the cylindrical main body 3. The concave curved section 7 of the shoulder section 6 adjoining the mouthpiece 2 has a constant expansion radius of 5 mm, and the convex curved section 8 of the shoulder section 6 transitioning into the cylindrical main body 3 has a constant expansion radius of 8 mm.
[0036] Between the lower end of the concave curved section 7, facing the cylindrical main body 3, and the upper end of the convex curved section 8, facing the mouthpiece 2, the shoulder section 6 has a shoulder tangent 9 which forms an angle of 45.2° with the horizontal and whose length is 4.9 mm. The height of the shoulder section 6, which comprises the concave curved section 7, the shoulder tangent 9, and the convex curved section 8, is approximately 14.2 mm.
[0037] A transition section 10 is formed between the lower end of the cylindrical main body 3 and the base 4 of the glass container 1. This transition section extends downwards to a support surface 11 on the base 4. The glass container 1 rests on a surface via this support surface 11. The support surface 11 has a diameter of 46.8 mm. The transition section 10 tapers from the lower end of the cylindrical main body 3, which has a diameter of approximately 61 mm, to the diameter of the support surface 11. For this purpose, the transition section 10 has an upper convex curvature section 12 and a lower convex curvature section 13. The upper convex curvature section 12 adjoins the lower end of the cylindrical main body 3 and has a constant first taper radius of 25.3 mm.The upper convex curvature section 12 with the constant tapering radius of 25.3 mm is followed by the lower convex curvature section 13 of the transition section 10, which has a constant second tapering radius of 5 mm and transitions into the base surface 11 of the bottom 4 or the glass container 1.
[0038] The height of the transition section 10, which extends between the lower end of the cylindrical main body 3 and the base surface 11 and which has the upper convex curvature section 12 and the lower convex curvature section 13, is 14 mm and thus corresponds approximately to the height of the shoulder section 6 between the lower end of the mouthpiece 2 and the upper end of the cylindrical main body 3.
[0039] In the glass container 1, the transition from the lower end of the mouthpiece 2 into the concave curved section 7 of the shoulder section 6, the transition from the concave curved section 7 into the shoulder tangent 9 of the shoulder section 6, the transition from the shoulder tangent 9 into the convex curved section 8 of the shoulder section 6, the transition between the convex curved section 8 of the shoulder section 6 into the cylindrical main body 3, the transition from the cylindrical main body 3 into the upper convex curved section 12 of the transition section 10, from the upper convex curved section 12 into the lower convex curved section 13 of the transition section 10, and the transition from the lower convex curved section 13 of the transition section 10 into the base surface 11 are all continuously formed, so that edges etc. are avoided.
[0040] The glass container 1 described above can be manufactured with a theoretical wall thickness of approximately 1.9 mm. This theoretical wall thickness represents a calculated minimum wall thickness necessary for the glass container 1 to reliably withstand the expected mechanical and thermal stresses. The actual wall thickness of the glass container 1 is sometimes considerably less. This is due to experience gained during the manufacture and use of such glass containers, based on which empirical values are determined in the form of factors by which the actual wall thickness can be reduced compared to the calculated theoretical wall thickness.
[0041] At the in Fig. In the first embodiment of the glass container 1 shown in Figure 1, the cylindrical main body 3 has a height of 60.1 mm. This embodiment of the glass container 1 is designed to hold 190 g of baby food. In this embodiment, the glass container 1 according to the invention weighs 100 g.
[0042] At the in Fig. In the second embodiment of the glass container 1 shown in Figure 2, the cylindrical main body 3 has a height of 72.1 mm. This embodiment of the glass container 1 is designed to hold 220 g of baby food. In this embodiment, the glass container 1 according to the invention weighs 115 g.
[0043] At the in Fig. In the third embodiment of the glass container 1 according to the invention, shown in Figure 3, the cylindrical main body 3 has a height of 81.1 mm.

[0046] The shoulder section 6 extends between the lower end of the mouthpiece 2 and the upper end of the cylindrical main body 3 of the glass container 1. At the transition between the mouthpiece 2 and the shoulder section 6, the diameter of the glass container 1 is approximately 46.5 mm, as in the case of the four embodiments described above, and is therefore smaller than the diameter of the mouthpiece 2 in the area of its opening. From the diameter at the transition between the mouthpiece 2 and the shoulder section 6, the shoulder section 6 widens to the diameter of the cylindrical main body 3 of the glass container 1, which is approximately 55 mm in the case of the fifth embodiment of the glass container 1.
[0047] To achieve the diameter expansion, the shoulder section 6 has the concave curved section 7 adjoining the mouthpiece 2 and the convex curved section 8 transitioning into the cylindrical main body 3. The concave curved section 7 of the shoulder section 6 adjoining the mouthpiece 2 has a constant expansion radius of 3 mm, and the convex curved section 8 of the shoulder section 6 transitioning into the cylindrical main body 3 has a constant expansion radius of 6 mm.
[0048] Between the lower end of the concave curved section 7, facing the cylindrical main body 3, and the upper end of the convex curved section 8, facing the mouthpiece 2, the shoulder section 6 has the shoulder tangent 9, which forms an angle of 45.2° with the horizontal and has a length of 2.3 mm. The height of the shoulder section 6, which comprises the concave curved section 7, the shoulder tangent 9, and the convex curved section 8, is approximately 9.5 mm.
[0049] Between the lower end of the cylindrical main body 3 and the base 4 of the glass container 1, a transition section 10 is formed, extending downwards to the base 11 of the base 4. The base 11 has a diameter of 40.8 mm. The transition section 10 tapers from the lower end of the cylindrical main body 3, which has a diameter of approximately 55 mm, to the diameter of the base 11. For this purpose, the transition section 10 has an upper convex curvature section 12 and a lower convex curvature section 13. The upper convex curvature section 12 adjoins the lower end of the cylindrical main body 3 and has a constant first taper radius of 17.7 mm.The upper convex curvature section 12 with the constant tapering radius of 17.7 mm is followed by the lower convex curvature section 13 of the transition section 10, which has a constant second tapering radius of 5 mm and transitions into the base surface 11 of the bottom 4 or the glass container 1.
[0050] The height of the transition section 10, which extends between the lower end of the cylindrical main body 3 and the base surface 11 and which has the upper convex curvature section 12 and the lower convex curvature section 13, is 12 mm and thus 1.26 times the height of the shoulder section 6 between the lower end of the mouthpiece 2 and the upper end of the cylindrical main body 3.
