A method of making a bottle includes (a) forming a parison, (b) blowing the parison into a bottle of one-piece integrally formed construction, and (c) during the step (a) and/or the step (b), forming internal features on a neck of the bottle. Step (c) includes (c1) forming external features on the neck during the step (a), (c2) pushing the external features into the neck during step (b), and forming the internal features to be disposed entirely within the neck where the neck widens and at positions spaced from an internal surface of a neck finish and not extending into a shoulder of the bottle.

Bottle neck with internal embossments and method manufacture

A bottle of one-piece integrally formed construction has a body with a closed base and a shoulder at an end of the body remote from the base, and a neck extending from the shoulder along an axis and terminating in a neck finish for attachment of a closure. The bottle neck includes at least one internal embossment for affecting flow of liquid from the body through the neck. In exemplary embodiments of the disclosure, the at least one internal embossment includes at least one internal annular rib or at least one internal rib coplanar with the neck axis or at least one internal spiral rib or at least one internal elliptical rib.

A parison mold assembly for a press-and-blow glassware forming machine includes a neck ring for molding a finish portion of a parison, a parison mold for molding a body portion of the parison, and a plunger for insertion through the neck ring into the parison mold for pressing a hot glass gob against inner surfaces of the neck ring and the parison mold. The plunger has an outer surface of revolution around a central axis, including a first portion disposed within the neck ring when the plunger is fully inserted through the neck ring into the parison mold, a second portion spaced from the first portion, and a transition third portion extending between the first and second portions.

A longneck glass or metal bottle of one-piece integrally formed construction has a body with a closed base and a shoulder at an end of the body remote from the base, and a neck extending from the shoulder along an axis and terminating in a neck finish for attachment of a closure. The bottle neck includes at least one internal embossment for affecting flow of liquid from the body through the neck. In exemplary embodiments of the disclosure, the at least one internal embossment includes at least one internal annular rib or at least one internal rib coplanar with the neck axis or at least one internal spiral rib or at least one internal elliptical rib.
