DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] The bottle, as defined in par. 51 of GOST 17527-2003 Package is a consumer container having a body of various shapes, abruptly turning into a neck, the finish diameter of which is much smaller than the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the body, with a flat or concave bottom, corked with a cap or cork.

[0010] The main elements of the bottle are a container, corking means 1, and bracelet element 4.

[0011] The container consists of a neck (in a particular embodiment, with a neck finish), shoulders 3, body, near-bottom portion 5, and bottom 6. The container, in a particular embodiment, is made of glass. Further, the neck is connected to the shoulders 3, the shoulders 3 are connected to the body, the body is connected to the near-bottom portion 5, the near-bottom portion 5 is connected to the bottom 6 to form, inside the container, a cavity with an outlet on the side of the neck.

[0012] The neck is the narrowest portion of the container, which portion is disposed on the opposite side from the bottom in relation to the body. The neck is made in the form of a wall closed in cross-section with a constant or variable cross-section. In a particular embodiment, for example, the neck can be made cylindrical, conical or barrel-shaped. The neck is designed for the convenience of dosing the contents of the container, as well as for corking. The neck can be provided with a neck finish in the case of using a cap as a corking means 1. When a cork is used as the corking means 1, the neck finish may be not provided.

[0013] The neck finish is the upper (farthest from the bottom) portion of the neck, which is configured to interact with the corking means 1 interacting with the outer side of the neck finish, for example, with a cap. The outer side of the neck finish may be provided with elements for interaction with the corking means 1, for example, a thread or various protrusions and indentations mating the protrusions and indentations provided on the corking means 1.

[0014] The shoulders 3 are a portion of the container that connects the neck to the body. The shoulders 3 are made with a variable cross-section, increasing in size from the neck to the body. The angle of inclination of the shoulders 3 can be made different. In a particular embodiment, the shoulders 3 are generally perpendicular to the axis of the container. Further, the shoulders 3 may be made smooth-faced, or may have various concavities and convexities, including those forming a curvilinear edge along the connection of the shoulders 3 with the body.

[0015] The body is a wall closed in cross-section, with cross-section sizes exceeding those of the neck. The body may be made of any shape in cross-section. The body may have a constant or variable cross-section in height. In general, the body in the cross-section has a curved outline, in a particular embodiment, the body in the cross-section may be made oval or round. The term "in general" refers, inter alia, to a shape with small deviations, protrusions, and indentations that do not affect the overall visual perception of a given geometric shape. The body consists of a main portion 8 and a protruding portion 2. The protruding portion 2 protrudes outwards of the container, as compared to the main portion 8. Further, the protruding portion 2 may be made in the form of a deflection of the body wall, or in the form of a thickened body wall in the area of the protruding portion 2. The transition of the main portion 8 to the protruding portion 2 is made to form of the first two protrusions 7 generally from the shoulders to the near-bottom portion. Further, "generally from the shoulders to the near-bottom portion" refers to the location of each first protrusion 7 with the formation of a straight, curved, zigzag or discontinuous line disposed in the direction from the shoulders 3 to the near-bottom portion 5. Further, the first protrusions 7 may be disposed both directly from the shoulders 3 to the near-bottom portion 5, and at some distance therefrom. The first protrusions 7 may be made of any shape. Further, one first protrusion 7 may differ in shape from the other first protrusion 7. In a particular embodiment, the first protrusions 7 are arched. Further, the convexity of one first protrusion 7 faces that of the other first protrusion 7.

[0016] The near-bottom portion 5 is configured to provide a smooth transition between the body and the bottom 6. The near-bottom portion 5 at the junction with the main portion 8 of the body forms a second protrusion 9. The second protrusion 9 is provided from one first protrusion 7 to another first protrusion 7 along the entire main portion 8 of the body. Further, the second protrusion 9 can be made both flat and with various concavities and convexities, including those forming a curvilinear edge along the connection of the near-bottom portion 5 with the body. Further, the edge of the near-bottom portion 5 protrudes outwards of the container as compared to the edge of the main portion 8 of the body. The second protrusion 9 may be provided in the form of a deflection of the container wall at the point of transition of the body to the near-bottom portion 5, or in the form of a thickened container wall. The near-bottom portion 5 is rounded towards the bottom 6, i.e. it has a gradually decreasing cross-sectional size in the direction of the bottom 6.

[0017] The bottom 6 is the support portion of the container. The bottom 6 can be made flat or concave towards the cavity.

[0018] The corking means 1 is an element that blocks access to the cavity through holes in the neck and serves to prevent the contents of the container from leaking out or evaporating. The corking means 1 is made of a material of sufficient strength and wear resistance to withstand all operating loads. In a particular embodiment, the corking means 1 can be made of various plastics, or metals, or glass, or a combination thereof. For example, a cap or cork can be used as the corking means 1. A cap, according to par. 2.2.1. of GOST 32180-2013 Closure products is a corking mean that is put on or screwed on the neck finish of a container. A cork, according to par. 2.2.3. of GOST 32180-2013 is a corking mean inserted into the neck of the container.

[0019] The bracelet element 4 is a protective portion of the container body. The bracelet element 4 is configured to increase the strength and impact resistance of the container, as well as to ensure the bearing of all operational loads. The bracelet element 4 is made in the form of a thin-walled plate element, curved in the shape of the main portion 8 of the body and covering the main portion 8 thereof. In a particular embodiment, the bracelet element 4 can be made of plastic or any metal alloys, as well as a combination thereof. The bracelet element 4 is bounded by the outer surface 13 and the inner surface 11, which have the largest area, as well as the first edge 10, the second edge 12 and the two figured edges 14. The inner surface 11 faces the inside of the bracelet element 4, and, when being installed on the container, to the main portion 8. The outer surface 13 faces the outside of the bracelet element 4 in the opposite direction from the container. The inner surface 11 and the outer surface 13 may be made smooth or have various irregularities. In a particular embodiment, the outer surface 13 of the bracelet element 4 may accommodate various decorative elements, including films, stones, rhinestones, and others. The first edge 10 and the second edge 12 limit the bracelet element 4 on the most extended sides. The first edge 10 and the second edge 12 are disposed opposite each other. The first edge 10, in a particular embodiment, may be made according to the shape of the edge of the body connected to the shoulders 3. The second edge 12, in a particular embodiment, can be made according to the shape of the edge of the body connected to the near-bottom portion 5, i.e. according to the shape mating to that of the second protrusion 9. The second edge 12, when being installed on the container, faces the second protrusion 9 and, in a particular embodiment, rests upon the second protrusion 9, thereby preventing the bracelet element 4 from falling off the container by action of gravity. The figured edges 14 are disposed opposite each other. Each figured edge 14 is made mating to the corresponding first protrusion 7 of the body. Further, when being installed on the container, each figured edge 14 faces the corresponding first protrusion 7 and, in a particular embodiment, rests upon it.

EXAMPLE

Implementation of invention

[0020] The invention is implemented as follows. At first, the container is made. Glass is obtained from a batch mixture consisting of soda, dolomite, sand, chalk, and glass cullet. The batch mixture is loaded into a glass furnace to melt. The melting is performed at a temperature of 1550-1560°C, and then the red-hot mass is supplied to the feeder, i.e. a funnel used to direct dropwise the glass to a glass-forming machine. When the feeder plow rises, the drop is cut off with glass scissors at the thinnest point. The red-hot drops are sent to the glass-forming machine. The former is used to cast a blank in the parison glass mould, and then, in the final glass mould, the container takes on the final shape. After the glass-forming machine, the container enters the conveyor belt. Initially, the temperature of the product is 600°C, and after the product passes the kiln, the output product's temperature falls to 90-120°C. The kiln is necessary to relieve internal stress in the product. If this step is skipped, the container will burst after a while. Then cold spraying is carried out. It is necessary to ensure that the container does not have any scuffs. The corking means 1 and the bracelet element 4 are made of plastic mass or metal by molding.

[0021] The bracelet element 4 is installed on the container. Further, the inner surface 11 faces the main portion 8 of the body. The second edge 12 faces the second protrusion 9 and, in a particular embodiment, rests upon same. Each figured edge 14 faces the corresponding first projection 7 and, in a particular embodiment, rests upon same. The bracelet element 4 covers the container and is held on same. The holding on the container is further facilitated by the resting of the second edge 12 upon the second protrusion 9 and the figured edges 14 upon the first protrusions 7. Further, the bracelet element 4 is installed with a pressure effect on the main portion 8, as a result of which a pre-stress occurs in the material of the main portion, which increases the resistance of the material of the container to external pressure.

[0022] During operation, shock or compressive loads, if any, are accommodated by the bracelet element 4 made of a less brittle material than that of the container. The bracelet element, on the one hand, takes on these shock loads, on the other hand, the presence of pre-tension of the main portion 8 increases the resistance thereof to these loads. Thus, the destruction of the container from said shock or compressive loads is prevented. The bracelet element 4 may be removed from the container and used as jewelry around a person's wrist when there is no threat of impact forces.

[0023] Thus, the implementation of the invention in the manner described above provides an expansion of the range of technical means of this purpose.
