A cap for the neck of a corked glass bottle（manufactured by glass bottle supplier）constructed as a single piece by stamping a thin sheet of material having one or more layers. The sheet has at least one gas-impervious layer. The cap includes a planar portion, the lower surface of which contacts and remains unadhered to the upper surface of the neck. Depending from the periphery of the planar portion is an annular skirt. A heat-sensitive adhesive adheres the inner surface of the skirt to the annular outer surface of the neck upon heating. In a second embodiment, the adhesive layer covers the entire inner and lower surfaces of the cap.
Such caps are used in particular for capping the necks of bottles containing wine or alcohol and that have previously been closed by means of a cork. In general, such caps comprise a top disk and a skirt bonded to the periphery of the disk.
Such plane caps are not suitable for capping glass bottles of wine that have previously been closed with stoppers made of cork or the like, since prior to uncorking a bottle, it is the practice to remove all of that portion of the cap which covers the end face, e.g. by cutting the periphery thereof with a knife.
According to the glass bottle manufacturer, the cap is made as a single piece by stamping a thin sheet of single or multi-layer material to form a disk whose bottom face contacts the end face of the neck, and an annular rim at the periphery of said disk, the inside face of said rim contacting the peripheral surface of said neck in the vicinity of said end face. The rim includes on its inside face a layer of adhesive material suitable, on being heated, for adhering to glass beverage bottles, and said disk presenting on its bottom face a material that does not adhere to glass.
In a second embodiment, the cap includes at least one sheet of a material that is gas-impermeable and the layer of adhesive material is applied to the entire concave surface of said sheet, a patch that does not adhere to glass also being provided on the bottom face of the disk to cover the top of the bottle neck.
Glass bottle inspected by glass bottle supplier, a pulse of acoustic wave is injected into a portion of the glass bottle forming a closed path for the propagation of the acoustic wave pulse so that the injected acoustic wave pulse travels round the closed plath, and acoustic wave pulse is detected while it is travelling round the closed path. Whether there is a defect along the closed path is judged in accordance with the magnitude of the detected acoustic wave pulse.
The present invention relates to a method and system for inspecting a glass beverage bottle such as that for containing food or beverage.
A crack or chip defect which can be produced at any point in the production cycle or use lifetime is of concern as it can impact the quality of the container product and consumer appeal. Bottle defects can normally be detected using optical techniques based on the principles of scatter, refraction or absorption, but the detection sensitivity is a strong function of defect size and its orientation and location within the bottle. A small crack which extends radially outward in the bottle is especially difficult to detect because it provides a very small cross-section area when viewed at the angle where light will enter or pass through the bottle wall.
According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a method for inspecting a glass bottle comprising the steps of:
injecting a pulse of acoustic wave into a portion of the glass bottle forming a closed path for the propagation of the acoustic wave pulse so that the injected acoustic wave pulse travels round the closed path,
The disclosed technique is especially useful with glass bottles but its potential application field is not limited by the glass bottle manufacturershape (round, oval or square). It is especially useful on container areas where the surface structure (such as threads on the bottle mouth), surface texture (embossing and painted labels), and container opacity (doped glass, etc.) severely limit the passage of optical energies which would normally be used to indicate the presence of a defect.
Method for manufacturing glass bottles by glass bottle manufacturer
A method for manufacturing glass bottles(by glass bottle manufacturer) is disclosed which includes consecutively delivering gobs of molten glass into a blank mold, forming each gob into a parison, transferring the parisons alternately into at least two sets of blow molds, allowing said parisons to reheat, and expanding the parisons in the blow molds. The sets of blow molds reciprocate along a substantially vertical path.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the glass industry today the most common glass container manufacturing machine is the Hartford type “I.S.” machine. It is estimated that in the United States alone, there are over six thousand “I.S.” sections in daily operation. This machine is described in Ingle U.S. Pat. Nos. 1,843,160 and 1,911,119.
In the original disclosure of the I.S. machine, the machine was intended to make glass containers by the well-known “blow and blow” process. Subsequently, Rowe U.S. Pat. No. 2,289,046 disclosed the “62″ process which could be applied to the basic machine to enable it to make containers by the “press and blow” process which is the preferred method of manufacturing wide mouth ware or jars. This development enabled the glass industry to use one machine for all types of ware instead of having a “narrow neck” machine like the Owens or Lynch machines for making bottles and a “widemouth” machine like the Miller machine for making glass jars.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present glass bottle relates to and provides a novel modification to the known bottle forming process whereby reheat time is maintained for thinner and lighter bottles, and production speed is increased. The reheat time itself is maintained or increased by eliminating some or all of the reheat part of the cycle from the blank mold section and placing it in the blow mold section. Sufficient time for reheating and blowing at higher production rates is made available by using a plurality of blow molds for each blank mold. With this arrangement, one set of parisons may be reheated and blown in one set of blow molds while, at a second set of blow molds, blowing of a set of bottles is completed, the bottles are removed and a new set of parisons is delivered. The plurality of blow molds reciprocate along a substantially vertical path and into and out of a position where the parisons are alternately received by the pairs of blow molds. The vertical path falls within the plane of transfer of the parison from the blank mold to the blow molds. The parisons are held in the blow molds for a sufficient period of time to achieve reheating prior to blowing the parisons into bottles.
Drilling a hole in a glass bottle is great craft idea. With a hole in one side of a glass bottle, you can hang glass bottles on the wall, insert items into a seemingly closed bottle and create designs on the side of your bottle in order to make candle holders, lamps or other craft projects. If you have some old glass bottles lying around, you can drill holes in them with a little practice and the right tools. It’s possible, although very difficult, to drill a hole in a glass bottle without a drill or a diamond drill bit. You will need to follow several safety precautions, as working with glass can be dangerous. Follow these steps to learn how to drill a hole in a glass bottle for crafts. Choose your bottles from the glass bottles manufacturer.Mark the area you would like to drill with a Sharpie. Draw a small dot on the outside of the glass bottle to show where you are going to drill.Wear safety gear. Before drilling, put on goggles, rubber gloves and a long-sleeved shirt. Even when using a diamond bit, there is a possibility that the glass bottle will break.
It doesn’t. That’s what Coca-Cola’s spokespeople say, anyway. “The great taste of Coca-Cola is the same regardless of the package it comes in,” they insist. Rather, they say, “the particular way that people choose to enjoy their Coke can affect their perception of taste.” Sure, most people would agree that the cola is indeed delicious and refreshing, and pouring it into a glass bottle or serving it over ice could influence the sensation of its flavor. But is it possible that the subtle variation in taste that some notice among aluminum cans, plastic bottles and glass bottles is more than just a psychological effect of their soda-consumption rituals? Get glass bottles from the glass bottle manufacturer.
Given that the formula is always the same, yes, according to Sara Risch, a food chemist and member of the Institute of Food Technologists. “While packaging and food companies work to prevent any interactions, they can occur,” she says. For example, the polymer that lines aluminum cans might absorb small amounts of soluble flavor from the soda. Conversely, acetaldehyde in plastic bottles might migrate into the soda. The FDA regulates this kind of potential chemical contact, but even minute, allowable amounts could alter flavor.
Your best bet for getting Coke’s pure, unaltered taste is to drink it from aglass bottles manufacturer, the most inert material it’s served in. Even that’s not a sure bet, though. Coca-Cola maintains strict uniformity in processes in all of its worldwide bottling facilities, but it concedes that exposure to light and how long the product sits on store shelves may affect the taste. So yeah, the packaging might mess with Coke’s flavor, but we’ll still take it any day over New Coke.
