The invention relates to a use ^ in particular for Glass vessels for holding decorative objects.

The invention relates in particular to an insert for holding flowers or candles in glass vessels.

Various vessel inserts for attaching decorative objects like flowers or candles are already known. These vessel inserts are hollow bodies Made of ceramic, clay or plastic with at least one, but mostly several openings into which the decorative objects can be inserted and thus held in the vessel insert will. The known vessel inserts have different geometric shapes; so are for example

BERGSTRASSE 48'h · D-8O35 MONCHEN-GAUTING TELEPHONE: (O89) 8SOSO3O · TELEX: 321777 Isard

Wise hemispherical tube inserts and tube inserts that in their outer shape resemble half of an ellipsoid of revolution, already known.

The known vessel inserts, however, have the disadvantage that the decorative item, which is actually iii its whole Size should be brought to bear in the mounting area to cover and the view of the glass vessel to affect.

In addition, the vessel inserts, which are made of clay or ceramics, cannot be mechanically stressed and break relatively easy.

In view of this prior art, the invention is based on the object of using the aforementioned Art, especially for glass vessels, to create that neither interferes with the transparency of the glass vessel nor the The object is covered in the mounting area and is also mechanically stable, easy to manufacture and elegant.

The insert according to the invention for glass vessels is made of glass manufactured and therefore neither obstructs the view through the glass vessel in which the insert is inserted nor it affects the presentation of the decorative object held, since the decorative object in his Mounting area is not covered.

The insert or glass body according to the invention has a simple geometric shape, namely that of a truncated cone, and can therefore be manufactured relatively easily. Since the frustoconical glass body is thick-walled, is it is also mechanically resilient and only works with a larger one

mechanical oil load to break. The mechanical resistance can of course be reinforced by choosing a suitable type of glass.

The frustoconical glass body according to the invention has an opening on its smaller base area, which is designed according to a preferred embodiment of the invention as a bore. Through this opening or bore the decorative object to be held can be inserted into the glass body. The inner wall of the opening in the smaller one The base area of the glass body can in principle be designed quite differently. If the glass body is intended for flowers, for example, it is cylindrical this opening is recommended. Such a glass body with a cylindrical opening is also used to hold Suitable for candles. However, especially for holding candles, glass bodies are more suitable which, according to the invention, are themselves , have axially outwardly opening conical opening. The opening tapers in the direction of the larger of the two base surfaces of the glass body, so that candles with a cross-section that is smaller than the largest cross-section and larger than the smallest cross-section the conical opening of the glass body can be inserted into the glass body without any effort and without damaging the candle are.

If the glass body according to the invention for holding Candles are determined, the axial height of the hole in the smaller base of the vitreous should also be a certain Exceed the minimum value to ensure that the candle is securely held. One is therefore particularly preferred Embodiment of the invention in which this axial height

greater than the wall thickness of the glass body at the edge Its larger footprint is. The minimum height of the opening in the smaller base of the vitreous is related to the wall thickness at the edge of the larger green area, because according to another preferred Embodiment of the invention the jacket thickness of the glass body is not constant in the axial direction * So corresponds e.g. to a glass body according to the invention, whose jacket thickness increases in the direction of the smaller base area, also a preferred embodiment the invention.

All edges of the glass body according to the invention are preferably melted off in order to avoid damage to the glass vessel, for which the application is intended. In addition, the person wearing the glass body according to the invention handles, do not injure the edges of the glass body.

In principle, the glass body according to the invention can consist of any Type of glass are manufactured. However, in terms of stability and aesthetics, crystal glass is preferable to the one contains a certain amount of lead oxide. The minimum content of lead oxide (PbO) should be at least 20% by weight, preferably at least 24% by weight.

The glass body according to the invention can have different sizes depending on the intended use, preferably is the diameter of the larger base of the vitreous in the range from 5 to 35 cm, the diameter of the smaller Base area in the range from 1 to 10 cm, the height of the truncated cone in the range from 2 to 20 cm, the clear width of the Hole in the smaller base area in the range from 0.7 to 7 cm, the height of this hole in the range from 0.2 to 2.5 cm, the jacket thickness at the edge of the larger base area in the range from 0.1 to 1 cm and the jacket thickness in height

the axially inside bore edge in the range of 0.2
up to 1.5 cm.

The glass body according to the invention is for all glass vessels |

suitable with a large enough opening Like ·

for example vases or bowls.

The glass body shown can in principle be produced by any production method by means of which hollow glass bodies can be produced. A centrifugal casting process is particularly suitable, in which a hollow cone is first produced, the tip of which is sawn off in a subsequent process step and the resulting truncated cone surface is axially pierced.

The glass body is made of crystal glass that contains at least 20% by weight of PbO. The glass is preferably not colored; however, it is also possible to manufacture the glass body according to the invention from tinted glass.
