Methods and components for producing child resistant glass containers

A method of manufacturing a glass container comprising:

• introducing a predetermined amount of a gob of glass to a blank mold cavity defined by a blank mold;
• moving a substantially square-shaped plunger from a retracted position to an extended position within the blank mold cavity;
• forming a parison by the plunger from the predetermined amount of gob in the mold cavity;
• retracting the plunger out from the blank mold cavity to the retracted position;
• moving the parison from the blank mold to a blow mold;
• applying a compressed gas through a neck of the parison to expand the parison to a substantially square glass container shape defined by a blow mold;
• and
• separating the substantially square glass container from the blow mold.

A method of manufacturing a glass container comprising:

• introducing a predetermined amount of a gob of glass to a blank mold cavity defined by a mold;
• moving a plunger from a retracted position to an extended position through a neck ring and within the mold cavity;
• forming a substantially square glass container shape defined by the neck ring and mold;
• and
• separating the substantially square glass container having a substantially square neck from the neck ring and mold.
