Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method of manufacturing a bottle which can be closed by a push-on closure, to apparatus for manufacturing the bottle, to a bottle and to a closure for the bottle.
  • the invention is particularly though not exclusively suitable for use with bottles made of PET or PEN thermoplastic materials.
  • PET bottles with screw tops are known but these do not have the same desirable properties for use with fermented or carbonated gaseous drinks as do crown caps.
  • An example of the manufacture of a PET bottle with a screw top is described in International Patent Application WO97/19806.
  • the embryo container comprises a closed-end tube which will form the body of the bottle with an outward radial flange at its mouth. Part of the upper surface of the flange is formed with a spiral, which will form a screw thread.
  • the embryo container is transferred to a stretch/blow moulding machine where pressure is applied to its interior, forcing the radial flange downwardly and outwardly so that the upper surface of the flange becomes the inner cylindrical surface of the mouth of the bottle with the screw thread formed in it.
  • None of the prior art provides a means for making a bottle with a push-on closure which can be employed with a plastics bottle and/or closure without the need to use a crimped metal crown cap and yet which retains the advantages of the crown cap.
  • FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing the injection moulding of a preform used in manufacturing a plastics bottle in an embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the preform obtained from the injection moulding operation
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing the shape of the rim of the preform in more detail

  • FIG. 9 is a view similar to FIG. 7 showing the rim with its final condition with the blow core fully descended;
  • FIG. 10 shows the stretch rod fully descended
  • FIG. 11 shows the bottle in the blow moulding apparatus when the bottle has been blown under pressure
  • FIG. 12 is a sectional view of the resultant bottle when removed from the mould
  • FIG. 13 is a detail showing the shape of the rim of the finished bottle more clearly
  • FIG. 14 is a top view of the bottle cap
  • FIG. 16 is a sectional detail of part of the cap
  • FIG. 17 is a detail view of part of the cap taken on the arrow A in FIG. 14 ;
  • FIG. 18 is a detail sectional view showing the cap on the bottle.
  • FIG. 19 is a side view of the finished bottle with the cap on it.
  • the bottle is made by an essentially two-stage process. Stage one involves injection moulding in an injection moulding machine a preform. This preform is then transferred to a pressure moulding machine where it is pressure moulded at an elevated temperature to form the final shape of the bottle. When placed into the pressure moulding apparatus the preform is deformed to form the rim of the bottle, and the body of the bottle is formed by blowing. Finally, the bottle is associated with a corresponding push-on closure which, after filling of the bottle, can be push-fitted to the rim of the bottle.
  • the bottle is made of a material which is susceptible to deformation when heated. This could be glass.
  • the invention is particularly suitable for making bottles out of certain plastics materials, particularly thermoplastics. Materials such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphathalate (PEN), and co-polymers and blends of these two materials, in both crystalline and a amorphous form, could be viable.
  • FIG. 1 The first stage in the manufacture is illustrated in FIG. 1 .
  • This figure shows a section through an injection moulding machine in which the preform has just been formed by injection moulding.
  • the preform is shown at 20 .
  • the mould consists of a cavity insert 12 , a cavity insert carrying block 14 surrounding and supporting the cavity insert 12 , neck splits 16 supported by a neck split carrying plate 18 and an injection core 22 .
  • the preform 20 is formed in the cavity between the cavity insert 12 and the injection core 22 , with the outer edge of the rim being defined by the neck splits.
  • the shape of the cavity is such that the preform is generally in the shape of a closed-end tube which tapers slightly towards its closed end, and has a rim at the open end of the tube and defining the opening or mouth of the bottle.
  • the tubular part of the preform will eventually be expanded to form the body of the bottle.
  • the outer surface and the inner surface of the preform both taper slightly towards the closed end of the tube, being defined by the inner mould surface of the cavity insert 12 and the outer mould surface of the injection core 22 , respectively.
  • the plastics is injected through an appropriate orifice 24 in the cavity insert 12 , at the bottom end of the tube.
  • the rim section of the preform which is to form the mouth of the bottle and surrounds the opening to the tubular section of the preform is described in more detail below.
  • the injection moulding apparatus is provided with appropriate cooling channels around the cavity insert 12 , and a cooling tube 26 extends into the interior of the injection core 22 so as to cool the mould core portion within the tubular part of the preform 20 .
  • a cooling tube 26 extends into the interior of the injection core 22 so as to cool the mould core portion within the tubular part of the preform 20 .
  • the injection moulding machine is conventional.
  • the preform When sufficiently solid the preform is then removed from the injection moulding apparatus. This is achieved by retracting the injection core 22 , and slightly retracting the neck splits 16 on the neck split carrying plate 18 . The preform can then be removed from the mould, if necessary with the application of some pressure from the bottom through the injection orifice 24 .
  • FIG. 2 shows the overall shape of the preform 20 .
  • the closed-end tube 28 forms the greater part of the length of the preform, and terminates at the rim portion 30 .
  • the rim portion is more clearly shown in FIG. 3 , which is a detail sectional view through one part of the periphery of the rim 30 .
  • FIG. 3 is a detail sectional view through one part of the periphery of the rim 30 .
  • the upper part of the wall section of the tube 28 which is to form the eventual wall of the body of the bottle.
  • On the top of the wall section 28 there is a transverse or annular flange 32 extending outwardly from the top end of the tube 28 .
  • preform and the eventual bottle are assumed to be in conventional orientation, that is with the mouth at the top and the base at the bottom.
  • the terms “up” and “down” should therefore be construed in this sense although in fact the actual orientation of the preform or the bottle may be different from this.
  • the annular or outwardly-extending flange 32 has an upper surface 34 and a lower surface 36 .
  • the upper surface 34 is in part over the tubular wall portion 28 , which thus depends from the inner edge of the flange.
  • the upper surface 34 carries an upstanding first detent 40 at or towards its radially inner edge.
  • the detent 40 on its inner periphery is generally perpendicular to the upper surface 34 , and on its outer face slopes down towards the upper surface 34 , as shown in FIG. 3 .
  • the outer end of the flange 32 terminates in three generally circumferential elements. The first of these is an outwardly-extending second detent 42 . Above the outer end of the flange 32 is an upwardly-extending curved-ended sealing portion 44 . This sealing portion 44 will co-operate with a push-on closure for the bottle to provide a liquid-proof seal adequate to contain the contents of the bottle when filled with beer or other carbonated beverage or similar contents. Finally, the periphery of flange 32 carries a downwardly-extending generally-cylindrical flange 46 which is essentially parallel to the upper-most portion of the wall of the tube 28 , as shown in FIG. 3 .
  • the preform is now transferred to a pressure moulding or blow moulding machine 50 , a section through which is shown in FIG. 4 .
  • the mould parts of the machine 50 define the final shape of the bottle.
  • the exterior part of the body of the bottle is defined by three mould parts, namely two generally semi-cylindrical side mould parts 52 separable at an axial plane, and a base punt 54 forming the base of the bottle.
  • the blow mould also includes neck splits 56 carried by a neck split carrying plate 58 .
  • the preform 20 When the preform 20 is first inserted in the moulding machine 50 , it is carried by the exterior portion of the rim 30 , and in particular the second detent 42 on the exterior of the rim, engaging with correspondingly-shaped portions on the lower internal surface of the neck splits 56 .
  • the operation that takes place in the moulding apparatus 50 is to move the outwardly-extending flange 32 , and the first detent 40 with it, downwardly and outwardly, relative to the second detent 42 .
  • the first detent moves pivotally around the second detent, due to bending of the flange portion particularly at its outer region.
  • the result of this movement is that the upper surface 34 of the flange 32 now faces inwardly rather than upwardly, and forms the inward part of the mouth of the bottle.
  • the first detent 40 now projects inwardly into the bottle opening.
  • a closure can be push-fitted onto the rim portion 30 of the bottle, to engage both the first now inwardly facing detent 40 and the second outwardly facing detent 42 , so that it is retained on the bottle by these two detents.
  • the tube portion 28 of the bottle is then expanded to fill the inside of the mould and form the body of the bottle.
  • FIG. 5 shows the preform 20 in the moulding machine 50 , with the blow core 60 of the moulding apparatus now inserted in the mouth of the mould cavity.
  • the blow core is shaped to seal against the top of the mould when fully inserted and has a central throughway through which passes a stretch rod or pin 62 which can be extended to reach the bottom of the mould cavity, as described below.
  • the longitudinal passage 64 through which the blow pin 62 passes is wide enough also to provide for the flow of air under pressure through the blow core past the blow pin and into the interior of the tubular portion 28 of the preform 20 .
  • An air inlet guide bush 66 is provided within the blow core 60 .
  • the blow core extends into the tubular section 28 below the periphery of the rim portion 30 of the preform 20 .
  • FIG. 5 actually shows the blow core 60 before it is fully inserted.
  • This figure shows the blow core 60 at the position where a downwardly-extending lip 68 engages with the upper surface of the transverse flange 32 , in the region of the first detent 40 .
  • the preform is at a sufficiently elevated temperature for the plastics material to be deformable.
  • the blow core is now fully inserted into the mould to the position shown in FIG. 6 . It is in this operation that the blow core acts as a mandrel and the flange 32 and the first detent 40 are moved downwardly and outwardly, relative to the second detent 42 , forcing the upper surface 34 of the flange now to face inwardly.
  • FIGS. 7 to 9 show the rim of the preform and the bottom of the blow core 60 on a greater scale.
  • FIG. 7 corresponds to the position shown in FIG. 5 , just before the blow core is fully inserted.
  • the lip 68 is just starting to make contact with the outer sloping surface of the detent 40 sufficient to start the bending operation.
  • FIG. 8 shows an intermediate position between the FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 positions where the transverse flange 32 and the detent 40 have been partially moved to their final positions.
  • the pushing effect of the lip 68 on the blow core 60 engaging with the detent 40 engaging with the detent 40 has started to bend and turn down the flange so as to move the radially inner portion of the flange carrying the detent 40 relative to the outer portion of the flange carrying the detent 42 .
  • the detent 42 is being retained in position by its engagement with the neck splits 56 .
  • the blow pin 62 is now fully inserted into the mould cavity, causing the tubular section 28 to be stretched longitudinally down to the bottom end of the mould. This stretching operation is important in providing strength to the finished bottle when made of PET or PEN.
  • the bottle 72 is now removed from the mould and is shown in FIG. 12 .
  • the base of the bottle as shown in FIG. 12 represents a modification of the bottle previously described.
  • the base has been formed using the process described in International Patent Application publication number WO97/19802, to which reference should be made for further description thereof.
  • the base is provided with an undercut re-entrant shape which provides greater strength to the base portion of the bottle.
  • This shape is formed by the use of a multipart mould having a plurality of segments surrounding a tapered core which is moveable to wedge the segments from a closely packed array to a mutually spread array. In this manner an undercut shape as shown at 74 can be provided.
  • FIG. 13 represents a detailed sectional view through the rim portion 30 .
  • the first detent 40 now constitutes an inner detent
  • the second detent 42 as before, constitutes an outer detent.
  • a plastics push-on cap can now be provided which engages with these two detents to secure the cap on the rim of the bottle.
  • the outer wall forming the body of the bottle now lies below the outer cylindrical flange 46 , while the upper part of the rim portion 44 forms a seal with the closure as described below.
  • the forming of the shape of the final bottle in the blow moulding machine is achieved by a combination of three measures, namely pushing the flange 32 and the top of the wall 28 with the bottom surface of the blow core 60 , pulling the wall 28 downwardly by extension of the blow pin 62 , and the application of air pressure through the passage 64 in the blow core.
  • the manner in which these three measures are best applied can be determined empirically for any particular situation. It may be desirable to provide the pushing with the blow core first followed by stretching with the blow pin and then the application of pressure. However, it may be preferable for these steps to partially overlap or to take place simultaneously depending on the particular application.
  • the closure, cap or top 100 illustrated has a planar disc-shaped central portion 102 and a peripheral bottle-engaging portion 104 .
  • Across the top of the disc and the bottling engaging portion 104 are eight diametrically-extending ribs 106 equally spaced around the disc as seen from above in FIG. 14 .
  • the peripheral bottle engaging portion 104 is generally in the shape of a trough or inverted U, with opposed inwardly-directed engaging tangs at the mouth of the U. More particularly, the inner arm of the U is formed by a cylindrical flange 108 depending from the outer edge of the disc 102 where it merges into the U shaped portion or arm 104 . The curved portion 110 of the U then merges into an outer cylindrical portion of arm 112 forming the outer circumferential part of the bottle-engaging portion 104 .
  • the lower end of the flange 108 carries an outwardly-directed first tang or finger 114
  • the lower end of the outer arm 112 carries a second inwardly-directed tang or finger 116 .
  • the detents 40 and 42 on the bottle are preferably continuous around the periphery of the bottle
  • the tangs 114 and 116 may be and preferably are discontinuous and each consist of a plurality of discreet tangs arranged around the circumferential extent of the closure. The tangs are of slightly lesser extent than the spaces between them. This facilitates the construction of the mould for moulding the closure which can then release the closure by a turn-then-push movement in the manner of a bayonet catch.
  • the bottom faces of the first and second tangs 114 and 116 are champhered to allow them to separate as they pass over the rim portion 30 of the bottle.
  • FIG. 17 shows an end view of one of the ribs 106 as taken on the arrow A in FIG. 14 .
  • the cap 100 can be forced on the rim of the bottle to the position shown in FIG. 18 in sectional view.
  • the arms 108 and 112 distort to allow the closure to move onto the rim of the bottle. More particularly, the two arms of the U open up into a somewhat V shape so as to pass over the portions forming the rim of the bottle.
  • the second tangs 116 engage with the side of the sealing portion 44 forming the top of the rim of the bottle so as to pass over the sealing portion 44 .
  • the champhering of the bottom of the tangs 116 assist in this.
  • the flange 108 now extends into the interior of the bottle.
  • the sealing portion 44 co-operates closely with the interior of the curved portion 110 of the U shaped bottle-engaging portion 104 so as to provide an effective seal against escape of liquid or the carbonating gasses within the bottle.
  • the cap can be made of the same type of plastics material as can be used for the bottle, including in particular PET.
  • FIG. 19 shows a side view of the completed bottle with the closure attached.
  • the closure 100 is securely held on the bottle 72 .
  • the closure 100 can be removed by application of upward pressure on the ridge 118 forming the outer lower periphery of the closure.
  • a tool similar to that conventionally used to remove a metallic crown top from a beer bottle may be used to remove the closure 100 from the PET bottle 72 .
  • the closure 100 will not however bend in the manner of a metallic crown top but rather will come off essentially undistorted due to inward flexure of the flange 108 and corresponding outward flexure of the outer arm 112 of the U shaped element 104 , forcing the tang 114 past the detent 40 and likewise forcing the tang 116 past the detent 42 .
  • the retaining force holding the closure on the bottle is such that in the event of excess pressure arising in the bottle, for example exceeding 90 psi, the closure will be released from the bottle automatically by the pressure acting on the disc 102 .
  • the bottle shape obtained is elongate with a longitudinal axis and is generally circularly symmetrical. However, other or irregular shapes can be obtained by appropriately shaping the interior of the mould.
