Container

Abstract

The present invention relates to a container comprising a glass vessel and at least one plastic top on the glass vessel, characterised in that the glass vessel is substantially circular in cross-section and has a floor and a peripheral side wall, the upper circumferential edge of the peripheral side wall being formed as an annular bead extending outwards, and that a plurality of notches extending radially are provided on the upper circumferential edge, at least in the outer portion thereof, and that the plastic top is substantially ring-shaped with a side wall and an inner ring spaced apart from the upper and lower edges of the ring shape and having upper and lower sides, the side wall having a peripheral snap-in projection beneath the inner ring, projecting inwardly, which, when the glass vessel is connected with the plastic top, is snapped in behind the annular bead of the glass vessel, wherein rib-like lands project radially on the lower side of the inner ring in the area of the connection between the inner ring and the side wall, their number corresponding to that of the notches in the glass vessel, and which lands engage in the notches of the glass vessel when the glass vessel and the plastic top are connected.

1 . A container comprising a glass vessel ( 1 ) and at least one plastic top ( 6 ) on the glass vessel ( 1 ), characterised in that the glass vessel ( 1 ) is substantially circular in cross-section and has a floor and a peripheral side wall ( 2 ), the upper circumferential edge ( 3 ) of the peripheral side wall ( 2 ) being formed as an annular bead ( 4 ) extending outwards, and that a plurality of notches ( 5 ) extending radially are provided on the upper circumferential edge ( 3 ), at least in the outer portion thereof,
 and in that the plastic top ( 6 ) is substantially ring-shaped with a side wall ( 7 ) and an inner ring ( 16 ) spaced apart from the upper and lower edges of the ring shape and having upper and lower sides ( 13 ,  12 ), the side wall ( 7 ) having a peripheral snap-in projection ( 10 ) beneath the inner ring ( 16 ), projecting inwardly, which, when the glass vessel ( 1 ) is connected with the plastic top ( 6 ), is snapped in behind the annular bead ( 4 ) of the glass vessel ( 1 ), wherein rib-like lands ( 11 ) project radially on the lower side ( 12 ) of the inner ring ( 16 ) in the area of the connection between the inner ring ( 16 ) and the side wall ( 7 ), their number corresponding to that of the notches ( 5 ) in the glass vessel ( 1 ), and which lands ( 11 ) engage in the notches ( 5 ) of the glass vessel when the glass vessel ( 1 ) and the plastic top ( 6 ) are connected.   
   
   
       2 . The container as claimed in  claim 1 , characterised in that the diameter of the glass vessel ( 1 ) is not constant over the entire height of the vessel. 
   
   
       3 . The container as claimed in  claim 1 , characterised in that the notches ( 5 ) on the circumferential edge ( 3 ) of the glass vessel ( 1 ) are spaced evenly apart from one another. 
   
   
       4 . The container as claimed in  claim 1 , characterised in that the glass vessel ( 1 ) is about 3 to about 10 cm in diameter, preferably 4 to 6 cm, and that about 10 to about 50 notches ( 5 ), preferably 20 to 35 notches, are provided on the circumferential edge ( 3 ). 
   
   
       5 . The container as claimed in  claim 1 , characterised in that each notch ( 5 ) extends radially over the entire circumferential edge ( 3 ). 
   
   
       6 . The container as claimed in  claim 1 , characterised in that the plastic top ( 6 ) has a base area ( 8 ) with at least one opening ( 9 ,  15 ). 
   
   
       7 . The container as claimed in  claim 1 , characterised in that the side wall ( 7 ) of the plastic top ( 6 ) has a thread on its outside. 
   
   
       8 . The container as claimed in  claim 1 , characterised in that at least one further moulded plastic part can be received in the plastic top ( 6 ), preferably on the upper side ( 13 ) of the base area ( 8 ), and can be connected to
