external threads 1150. In some embodiments, and a thickness T of
the collapsible liner 322' is less the thickness T4 of the neck
1148.
[0049] In some embodiments, the shoulder 1146 is engaged at the
open front end 1122 of the sleeve 112. In some embodiments, the
sleeve 112 further includes a peripheral wall 1132 connected to the
bottom wall 1130. In some embodiments, the sleeve 112 has one or
more through holes 1126, penetrating through the peripheral wall
1132. In some embodiments, the preform 320' may be heated to a
temperature that is below the melting temperature of the preform
320', but sufficiently high to be pliable after being arranged into
the sleeve 112, such that the preform 320' can be stretched in a
longitudinal direction.
[0050] Next, a material, such as compressed air or centrifugal
force, is introduced into an inner space 3200' of the preform 320'
according to a step 208 in FIG. 6. Accordingly, the preform 320' is
stretched to the bottom wall 1130 of the sleeve 112 to form the
bottle body 114, wherein a portion of bottle body 114 is bent
outwardly to form the curved portion clasped within the through
hole, and thus the packaging container 110 as shown in FIG. 10 is
formed.
[0051] One aspect of the present disclosure provides a packaging
container. The packaging container includes a sleeve and a bottle
body. The sleeve has at least one through hole. The bottle body is
fitted within an inner peripheral surface of the sleeve and has at
least one curved portion for being clasped within the through
hole.
[0052] One aspect of the present disclosure provides a package
device. The package device includes a packaging container and an
applicator. The packaging container includes a sleeve having at
least one through hole and a bottle body fitted within an inner
peripheral surface of the sleeve and having at least one curved
portion being clasped within the through hole. The applicator
includes a rod, a brush, and a grip. The brush is installed at one
end of the rod, and the rod and the brush are stored in the
packaging container. The grip is attached to the end of the rod
opposite to the brush, and the grip is coupled to an open end of
the bottle body. The rod and the brush are withdrawn from the
packaging container by turning and removing the grip.
[0053] One aspect of the present disclosure provides a method of
manufacturing a package device. The method includes steps of
providing a preform comprising a body, a shoulder connected to an
open end of the body, and a neck disposed contiguous with the
shoulder; arranging the preform in a sleeve having at least one
through hole, wherein the shoulder is engaged at an open front end
of the sleeve; and introducing a material into an inner space of
the preform to stretch the preform and form at least one curved
portion clasped within the through hole.
