Patent number: 10054558Abstract: A container test system includes a test chamber in which a container may be located for testing, for instance, for assessing insulative properties of a container. In the test chamber, the outside of the container is thermally treated, temperature of the air outside the container is measured, and temperature of a liquid inside the container is measured. A related testing method is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2013Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc.Inventors: David Kisela, Jared Morello, Gary Myers, Daniel S.

Patent number: 9932138Abstract: A bottle extends along a longitudinal axis and includes an insulative body extending axially between a base and a neck of the bottle. The body includes radially outwardly facing first surfaces spaced axially apart from one another, and a radially outwardly facing second surface radially smaller than, and located axially between, the first surfaces. The body also includes a plurality of projections projecting from the second surface and collectively establishing a radially outwardly facing third surface radially larger than the second surface, and parting line bridges projecting radially outwardly from the second surface, diametrically opposed to one another, and extending axially between the first surfaces. A label is carried by the body over at least a portion of the third surface, wherein a continuous insulation volume is established between the label and the second surface, and extends continuously over more than 90 angular degrees around the bottle.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc.Inventor: David Kisela

Patent number: 9914659Abstract: A process and an apparatus for imparting coloration to a glass container having a strikable glass container composition. One or more portions of the glass container are selectively and locally exposed to a temperature at or above a glass container striking temperature to affect a color change in the one or more portions of the glass container. The coloration process may be carried out by passing the glass container through an interior of an apparatus having a heating system configured to locally heat a first region within the interior to a temperature at or above a glass container striking temperature and a cooling system to locally cool a second region within the interior to a temperature below the glass container striking temperature.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2017Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc.Inventors: David Kisela, Michael J.

Patent number: 9581482Abstract: A fluid flow testing apparatus for measuring the pour profile of a container has a rotatable container carrier and an assembly for rotating the container between a first position allowing fluid to be retained within the container and a second position causing fluid to be poured from the container. Sensors for sensing the weight of the container as liquid is poured from the container are provided in order to determine the pour profile of the container. A controller receives input signals from the sensors in order to record the weight of the container over time as liquid is poured from the container as the container is rotated. The change of weight of the container over time establishes a pour profile for the container.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2014Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc.Inventors: David Kisela, Gerald L Ames, Marvin Karl Himmelein, James Edward Gerdeman, Peter Miller, Daniel S Sabo
