Abstract
A container, particularly a beverage bottle, can be closed in a bottle opening of a bottle body with a closure made of a plastic material or glass. A fixing element is detachable fastened to the bottle body and holds the closure in the bottle opening. Such a bottle closure solves the problems involving, in particular, wine bottles and which arise when otherwise common bottle cork stoppers are used.
Claims27
A beverage bottle comprising:
- a bottle body provided with a bottle opening, the bottle body made of glass;
- a closure which can be at least partly inserted into the bottle opening, the closure made of glass;
- and
- a fixing element which is detachably fastened to the bottle body and which holds the closure inserted into the bottle opening at least in an axial and/or radial direction;
- wherein the fixing element and the closure are cooperatively configured to establish a positive connection to block turning of the closure in the bottle opening, whereby the fixing element is provided with a recess and the closure is integrally provided with a projection extending from a substantially planar top surface thereof, the projection matingly received by the recess and thereby forming the positive connection between the fixing element and the closure to prevent relative rotation between the fixing element and the closure;
- wherein the projection has a length and a width, the length being greater than the width.

A beverage bottle comprising:
- a bottle body provided with a bottle opening, the bottle body made of glass;
- a closure which can be at least partly inserted into the bottle opening, the closure made of glass;
- and
- a fixing element which is detachably fastened to the bottle bad and which holds the closure inserted into the bottle opening at least in an axial and/or radial direction;
- wherein the fixing element and the closure are cooperatively configured to establish a positive connection to block turning of the closure in the bottle opening, whereby the fixing element is provided with a recess and the closure is integrally provided with a projection extending from a substantially planar top surface thereof, the projection matingly received by the recess and thereby forming the positive connection between the fixing element and the closure to event relative rotation between the fixing element and the closure;
- wherein the projection is constructed of glass.

- wherein the fixing element includes a generally planar portion disposed over the closure with a raised area disposed over the projection;
- and
- wherein the raised portion is opposite the recess.

A beverage bottle comprising:
- a bottle body provided with a bottle opening, the bottle body made of glass;
- a closure which can be at least partly inserted into the bottle opening;
- and
- a fixing element which is detachably fastened to the bottle body and which holds the closure inserted into the bottle opening at least in an axial and/or radial direction;
- wherein the fixing element and the closure are cooperatively configured to establish a positive connection to block turning of the closure in the bottle opening, whereby the fixing element is provided with a recess and the closure is integrally provided with a projection extending from a substantially planar top surface thereof, the closure and the projection commonly constructed of glass, the projection having a length and a width the length being greater than the width, both the width and the length being substantively less than an adjacent diameter of the closure, the projection matingly received by the recess and thereby forming the positive connection between the fixing element and the closure to prevent relative rotation between the fixing element and the closure.
