A method for shaping the mouth of a hollow precursor made of glass is provided, as well as glass produced thereby. The method includes heating the mouth of the hollow precursor; introducing a mandrel along a first direction into the mouth while the hollow precursor is rotating; and pressing shaping rollers along a second direction on an outside of the mouth while the hollow precursor is rotating with the mandrel in the mouth. The first and second directions are perpendicular to one another. The method can include moving the mandrel along second and/or third directions together or separate from expanding the mandrel along the second and third directions.

Installation, device, and method for shaping the mouth of a hollow-body-shaped precursor from glass

A glass container is characterized by a longitudinal axis (L) that passes through a center of a glass bottom of the glass container. For any cut surface of the glass container that is obtainable by cutting the glass container in a plane that includes the longitudinal axis L, a minimum thickness (s) and a maximum thickness (s) of the glass bottom determined at any position having a distance d/4 or less to the longitudinal axis Land a thickness (s) is the thickness of the glass bottom determined at a position having the distance d/4 to the longitudinal axis L, the distance to the longitudinal axis Lin each case being determined in a direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis Land thicknesses s, sand sbeing determined in a direction that is parallel to longitudinal axis L, with s/sbeing less than 1.8.

Glass containers for packaging salt or sugar-containing compositions in a frozen state

A glass container is provided having a glass tube with a first end and a second end and a glass bottom closing the second end. The glass tube has a longitudinal axis and has, in a direction from the first to the second end, a top region, a junction region, a neck region, a shoulder region, and a body region. The top region is at the first end and has an outer diameter (d), the neck region has an outer diameter (d) with d<d, the body region extends to the second end and has an outer diameter (d) with d>d, and the glass tube in the body region has a thickness (l). The outer contour in a transition area between the top and neck regions is defined by a radius of curvature. The glass containers have a neck squeeze test load of at least 1100 N.

Vial with optimized neck for improved side compression performance

A glass container is provided having a glass tube with a first end and a second end and a glass bottom closing the second end. The glass tube has a longitudinal axis and has, in a direction from the first to the second end, a top region, a junction region, a neck region, a shoulder region, and a body region. The top region is at the first end and has an outer diameter (d), the neck region has an outer diameter (d) with d&#x3c;d, the body region extends to the second end and has an outer diameter (d) with d&#x3e;d, and the glass tube in the body region has a thickness (l). The outer contour in a transition area between the top and neck regions is defined by a radius of curvature. The glass containers have a neck squeeze test load of at least 1100 N.
