FLAT VERTICAL DIVIDER INSIDE BOTTLES AND JARS

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The traditional bottles and jars are used for storage of liquids, viscous substances and granular solids, typical in manufacturing, beverage and food industries, commercial services, cosmetology businesses, residential consumers, etc.

The principal of this invention is to create a flat vertical divider, inside of the traditional bottles and jars by introducing additional molding components to the traditional molding technology. As a result, the inside of bottles and jars will be divided in two equal and separated compartments.

The most common materials to manufacture bottles and jars are plastic and glass but any material which can formed using molding technology could be used. The bottles and jars with a flat vertical divider inside could be manufactured using the same materials as the traditional bottles and jars and could have any shape and size, as desired.

The flat vertical divider would give the bottles and jars many useful improvements and practical conveniences, in comparison to the traditional bottles and jars, as described under CLAIMS paragraph.

Due to technology similarity of creating a flat vertical divider inside bottles and jars and also for better understanding of the invention itself, the description method will be simplified referring only to plastic and glass bottles technology procedures. For the same reason, the substance stored in the bottles will be liquids.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION METHOD

In order to create a flat vertical divider inside bottles the following additional molding process movable components shall be added to the traditional technology of manufacturing bottles:

• • Two equal half-size forming molds shall replace the traditional forming mold, used to form the full-size bottles. It is like dividing in two equal half-size molds the traditional forming mold. The purpose of those two equal half-sizes forming molds is to form two equal half-size bottles.
  • A flat vertical movable partition shall be added in between those equal half-size forming molds, as part of molding process. The flat vertical movable partition shall have a thin thickness, made of the same material as the equal half-size forming molds. The purpose of the flat vertical movable partition is to create a flat vertical wall on each half-size bottle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION METHOD

In order to create a flat vertical divider inside of traditional bottles, the following additional technology sequences are required:

• • The melted plastic or glass quantities shall be casted into each half-size forming mold.
  • The air shall be blown into each half-size forming mold in order to shape out two equal half-size bottles.
  • The presence of the flat vertical movable partition, between the equal half-size forming molds, creates a flat vertical wall on each half-size bottle.
  • The flat vertical movable partition shall be pulled-up or in whatever pull-direction is more convenient for the technology line.
  • The equal half-size forming molds shall be pushed, moving against each other, until the flat walls of the equal half-size bottles are firmly touching each other, creating a flat vertical divider inside of the full-size bottle.
  • The blown air shall be kept, at equal pressure, in each half-size bottle during the additional sequences described above, until the flat vertical divider stands vertically firm, creating two equal and separated compartments inside bottle.

All traditional technology sequences, prior and after the additional technology sequences described above for the creation of the flat vertical divider inside bottle, remain the same (e.g. preparation of prime materials, melting of prime materials, bottles removal from molds, bottles cooling, bottles packing, etc.)

The following traditional items will be used to seal the bottles with a flat vertical divider:

• • One screwed-cap for the bottle top opening.
  • Two foil peel & press one for each bottle compartment top opening.

The flat vertical divider thickness will be twice of thickness of the bottle walls which give a larger area to the foil peel & press seals to be well settled on top of each opening of the bottle compartments.

In order to use of one or both liquids stored in the bottle compartments, the traditional screwed-cap shall be simply unscrewed from the bottle top opening and the foil peel-press seals peeled-off, from one or both bottle compartment top openings, as desired.

If the liquid from only one compartment is used, the liquid remaining stored in the other compartment will be safely protected against contamination by the foil peel-press seal.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

While this invention of a flat vertical divider inside bottles and jars has been described for bottles as preferred designs, it will be understood that the designs are capable of further modifications to any traditional container.

This invention method specification of the flat vertical divider inside of bottles and jars is therefore intended to cover any variations, uses or adaptations of the invention method specification following the general principles thereof for any traditional container used in manufacturing, beverage and food industries, commercial services, cosmetology businesses, residential consumers, etc., regardless material, shape and size.

This invention specification method includes all departures from the present disclosures, as come within known or customary practice, in the art to which this invention pertains and falls, within the limits of the appended claims.
