Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a glass bottle with a shrinkable label wherein it is easily noticed that the glass bottle is broken, positioning of the shrink label is unnecessary, and the shrink level is free from any cut in a distribution stage. <P>SOLUTION: A large number of recesses and projections are formed on a barrel portion of a glass bottle to form recesses continuous both in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction, and the barrel portion is covered with a shrink label. Since the recesses are continuous not only in the longitudinal direction but also in the transverse direction, liquid content leaking outside an outer surface of the bottle is spread not only in the longitudinal direction but also in the transverse direction when the bottle is broken, and the liquid content flows from a lower end of the label or from communication holes of the label. Thus, the communication holes of the label need not be positioned, the pitch of the communication holes can be made coarse, and the label is not possibly cut off. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a glass bottle with a shrink label that can easily find that a glass bottle has been broken.

A glass bottle having a barrel portion covered with a shrink label has a drawback that when the barrel portion is cracked and the internal solution leaks, the leaked liquid remains inside the shrink label and is difficult to detect. A shrink-labeled glass bottle that can easily find a broken bottle is disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1 below. In this case, a large number of vertical grooves are formed in the bottle body, and communication holes for communicating the vertical grooves and the outside are provided above and below the positions of the vertical grooves of the shrink label that covers the body. When bottle cracks occur and the inner solution leaks to the outer surface of the bottle body, the inner solution flows out of the shrink label from the communication hole, and the bottle cracks are easily detected.
JP-A-2005-239246

  The conventional glass bottle with a shrink label is configured such that the leaked internal solution comes out from the communication hole that communicates the vertical groove and the outside, so that the communication holes formed in the shrink label are surely connected to all the vertical labels. Positioning must be performed so as to come to the position of the groove, and the process of attaching the shrink label becomes complicated. If the position of the communication hole is not correct, the expected effect will not be achieved, and the shrink label must be peeled off and reattached. If the communication holes are provided at a very fine pitch, positioning is not necessary, but the portion provided with the communication holes of the shrink label becomes fragile and is cut in the distribution process, so that the appearance is extremely deteriorated.
