Glass Container with Internal Decorative Figure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The perfume industry requires more attractive and uniquely designed glass containers that can effectively highlight their products through distinctive packaging, which existing manufacturing processes struggle to achieve due to limitations in producing containers with internal decorative figures and irregular shapes.
Innovation Solution
A glass container design comprising a container body, a decorative piece with a support base, and a bottom cap that allows for the assembly of a figure or design within the container, featuring a through-ring with a threaded section for secure positioning and hermetic sealing, enabling the creation of containers with internal decorative elements and irregular shapes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If conventional blow-blow or press-blow processes are used to manufacture glass containers, then production efficiency is maintained, but the ability to create containers with internal decorative figures and irregular shapes is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The container is divided into multiple independent components: a glass container body and a separate decorative figure made of glass or transparent material. The decorative figure is manufactured independently using conventional forming processes, then assembled into the container body through an opening in the bottom wall, allowing complex shapes without complicating the main manufacturing process
Solution Approach 2:
The decorative figure is placed inside the container body, with the figure's support base resting on the interior bottom wall. This nesting arrangement allows the decorative element to be integrated into the container structure while maintaining the simplicity of conventional forming processes for each component
2Ease of manufacture
If conventional single-piece container manufacturing is used, then manufacturing simplicity is maintained, but product attractiveness and market appeal are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
By separating the container into a glass body and an independently manufactured decorative figure, each component can be produced using standard, simple processes. The figures can be made in various shapes, colors, and designs, providing extensive design versatility while keeping individual manufacturing steps simple and familiar
Solution Approach 2:
The container combines glass container body with decorative figures made of glass or transparent materials that may include colorants, opacifiers, or metallic particles. This composite approach allows for varied aesthetic properties while using conventional materials and manufacturing techniques for each component
3Adaptability or versatility
If decorative figures are added to enhance product appeal, then market competitiveness improves, but manufacturing complexity and assembly steps increase
Solution Approach 1:
The decorative figures are pre-formed using conventional glass forming processes before assembly. The figures include a support base designed to fit into the container body, allowing for straightforward assembly operations that do not significantly impact production efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The support base acts as an intermediary element that facilitates the assembly of the decorative figure into the container body. The support base rests on the interior bottom wall and provides a simple mechanical interface, enabling efficient assembly without complex fastening mechanisms

AI summary
The present invention relates to a container with an inner decorative figure and its manufacturing method. The container has a container body having a top cover. The top cover has an outlet neck projecting from the central portion to engage a cap; and, a geometric or amorphous through-peripheral wall in the lower part of the container body. The through-peripheral wall has an external peripheral wall and an internal peripheral wall. The external peripheral wall has as a threaded section. A figure includes an upper section with the desired figure and a lower section. The lower section has a stop section to delimit the entrance of the figure towards the inside of the container; and, a lower cap that is coupled to the lower part of the container body to retain and maintain fixed the position of the lower section of the decorative figure.
