(54) Bottle of thermoplastic material and method for the manufacture and filing of same


(57) The bottle is of a single-piece and comprises a main body (2) with a hermetically closing part (6) delimited by a weakening (7) of the material adjacent to the periphery of the mouth. The bottom part is constituted by a sheet of a thermoplastic material joined to the bottle body by thermowelding. The bottle is closed with a screw-on-cap (8), or a top (12), which are joined to the closing part (6) by means of an adhesive or glue (11).
The method comprises the stages of feeding a thermoplastic laminate to a thermoforming machine; heating the laminate to a predetermined temperature; inserting a preformed punch (17) into a negative mould (18) of the bottle (1), situated in inverted position, with the laminate (16) interposed between the punch and the mould; conforming the body (2) of the bottle by means of pressure or pneumatic vacuum; forming the weakening (7) and the closing part (6) by means of a punch (19); filling the bottle with the product (22) to be contained therein, by the upper opening (20) which will later be the bottom part of the bottle; and thermal weld a laminate (21) of thermoplastic material to the periphery of the said upper opening, determining the bottom part or base and the bottle, being therefore, finished and hermetically sealed.
