Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rigid, hinged-lid package for tobacco articles.
  • the present invention may be used to particular advantage in a rigid cigarette packet, to which the following description refers purely by way of example.
  • Rigid, hinged-lid cigarette packets are currently the most commonly marketed, by being easy to produce, easy and practical to use, and effectively protecting the cigarettes inside.
  • a rigid, hinged-lid cigarette packet comprises a cup-shaped container having an open top end; and a cup-shaped lid hinged to the container along a hinge to rotate, with respect to the container, between an open position and a closed position respectively opening and closing the open end.
  • a rigid, hinged-lid cigarette packet of the type described above is normally made by folding a single, flat, substantially elongated rectangular blank about a respective group of cigarettes wrapped in a sheet of foil; in which case, the lid and container both form part of the same blank.
  • a U-folded collar, separate from the flat blank, is normally connected to the inside of the container, and projects partly outwards of the open end to engage a corresponding inner surface of the lid when the lid is in the closed position.
  • Rigid, hinged-lid cigarette packets of the above type have several drawbacks. They tend to fall out of shape, and fail to adequately protect the cigarettes inside when subjected to relatively severe stress (as when carried in the user's trouser pocket), and accidental opening of the lid, thus possibly resulting in fall-out of the contents of the packet, is fairly common.
  • Patent US 3881599 proposes a rigid cigarette packet of the above type, comprising a parallelepiped-shaped container housing a group of cigarettes and having a withdrawal opening; and a cup-shaped lid hinged to the container along a hinge to rotate, with respect to the container, between an open position and a closed position respectively opening and closing the withdrawal opening.
  • the container and lid are formed by folding two respective independent, separate blanks, and the lid is glued to a bottom end wall of the container.
  • Patent US 3881599 is expensive to produce, by requiring a special packing machine featuring various parts modified with respect to a standard packing machine.
  • Number 1 in Figure 1 indicates as a whole a rigid cigarette packet containing an orderly, parallelepiped-shaped group of cigarettes (not shown for the sake of clarity) wrapped in a sheet of foil wrapping material.
  • Packet 1 comprises a parallelepiped-shaped container 2 for housing the group of cigarettes, and having a cigarette withdrawal opening 3 at its top end. Packet 1 also comprises a cup-shaped lid 4 hinged to container 2 along a hinge 5 (shown in Figures 3 and 4) to rotate, with respect to container 2, between an open position and a closed position respectively opening and closing withdrawal opening 3.
  • Container 2 comprises two parallel opposite major lateral walls 6; two parallel opposite minor lateral walls 7 crosswise to major lateral walls 6; a top end wall 8; and a bottom end wall 9 parallel to and opposite top end wall 8.
  • Four longitudinal edges 10 are defined between major lateral walls 6 and minor lateral walls 7; and eight transverse edges 11 are defined between lateral walls 6, 7 and end walls 8, 9. More specifically, transverse edges 11 are divided into four major transverse edges 11 defined between major lateral walls 6 and end walls 8, 9; and four minor transverse edges 11 defined between minor lateral walls 7 and end walls 8, 9.
  • longitudinal edges 10 and transverse edges 11 are all square sharp edges.
  • Cup-shaped lid 4 is substantially parallelepiped-shaped, and comprises two parallel opposite major lateral walls 12; a minor lateral wall 13 crosswise to major lateral walls 12; a top end wall 14; and a bottom end wall 15 parallel to and opposite top end wall 14.
  • Two longitudinal edges 16 are defined between major lateral walls 12 and minor lateral wall 13; and six transverse edges 17 are defined between lateral walls 12, 13 and end walls 14, 15. More specifically, transverse edges 17 are divided into four major transverse edges 17 defined between major lateral walls 12 and end walls 14, 15; and two minor transverse edges 17 defined between minor lateral wall 13 and end walls 14, 15.
  • longitudinal edges 16 and transverse edges 17 are all square sharp edges.
  • each major lateral wall 12 of lid 4 preferably has a triangular-bevelled bottom portion.
  • Container 2 and lid 4 are formed by folding two respective independent, separate blanks 18 and 19 ( Figures 5-8).
  • Lid 4 is glued to bottom end wall 9 of container 2, so that hinge 5 is parallel to the minor transverse edges 11 of container 2 defined between minor lateral walls 7 and end walls 8, 9.
  • Hinge 5 is preferably located on bottom end wall 9 of container 2, in an intermediate position between the two minor transverse edges 11 bounding bottom end wall 9.
  • Bottom end wall 9 of container 2 has a connecting tab 20, which is separated from bottom end wall 9 by a fold line defining hinge 5, and is glued entirely to bottom end wall 15 of lid 4.
  • a stop member is provided to limit rotation of lid 4 with respect to container 2 and define a maximum fully-open position (shown in Figure 4).
  • the stop member comprises two stop tabs 21, each projecting outwards of container 2 from a respective major lateral wall 6 of container 2; and two stop tabs 22, each of which projects inwards of lid 4 from a respective major lateral wall 12 of lid 4, and is positioned to engage a respective stop tab 21 as lid 4 is opened.
  • each stop tab 21 is formed by removing a strip of material from a respective major lateral wall 6 of container 2. In an alternative embodiment, not shown, each stop tab 21 is formed by making an incision in a respective major lateral wall 6 of container 2.
  • Withdrawal opening 3 preferably extends over part of top end wall 8 of container 2 and part of major lateral walls 6 of container 2, so the cigarettes can be withdrawn quickly and easily through withdrawal opening 3.
  • withdrawal opening 3 is closed by a tear-off portion 23 of container 2.
  • Tear-off portion 23 may close the whole of withdrawal opening 3, as shown in Figures 2, 4 and 5, or only part of withdrawal opening 3; in which latter case, tear-off portion 23 leaves part of withdrawal opening 3 at major lateral walls 6 exposed, to enable the user to grip and remove tear-off portion 23 more easily from container 2 when unsealing packet 1.
  • minor lateral wall 13 of lid 4 has at least one through hole sized to permit insertion of the user's finger, and which facilitates opening of lid 4 by enabling the user to one-handedly impart a relative opening movement between lid 4 and container 2.
  • container 2 is formed by folding flat, substantially elongated rectangular blank 18, the component parts of which are indicated, where possible, using the same reference numbers, with superscripts, as for the corresponding parts of container 2.
  • Blank 18 has two longitudinal fold lines 24, and a number of transverse fold lines 25 defining, between the two longitudinal fold lines 24, a panel 8' forming part of top end wall 8; a panel 6' forming one major lateral wall 6; a panel 9' forming bottom end wall 9; a further panel 6' forming the other major lateral wall 6; and a panel 8" forming the rest of top end wall 8.
  • Each panel 6' has two wings 7', which form part of respective minor lateral walls 7, are located on opposite sides of relative panel 6', and are separated from relative panel 6' by longitudinal fold lines 24.
  • a first wing 7' of one panel 6' has two tabs 26 separated from panel 6' by transverse fold lines 25, and a second wing 7' of the same panel 6' has one tab 26 separated from panel 6' by a transverse fold line 25 and substantially aligned with panel 9'.
  • Connecting tab 20 is connected to panel 9', and is separated from panel 9' by a fold line defining hinge 5 and parallel to longitudinal fold lines 24.
  • Figure 6 shows an alternative embodiment of blank 18 for forming container 2.
  • blank 18 has two longitudinal fold lines 24, and a number of transverse fold lines 25 defining, between the two longitudinal fold lines 24, a panel 9' forming part of bottom end wall 9; a panel 6' forming one major lateral wall 6; a panel 8' forming top end wall 8; a further panel 6' forming the other major lateral wall 6; and a panel 9" forming the rest of bottom end wall 9.
  • Each panel 6' has two wings 7', which form part of respective minor lateral walls 7, are located on opposite sides of relative panel 6', and are separated from relative panel 6' by longitudinal fold lines 24.
  • a first wing 7' of one panel 6' has two tabs 26 separated from panel 6' by transverse fold lines 25, and a second wing 7' of the same panel 6' has one tab 26 separated from panel 6' by a transverse fold line 25 and substantially aligned with panel 9".
  • Connecting tab 20 is connected to panel 9', and is separated from panel 9' by a fold line defining hinge 5 and parallel to longitudinal fold lines 24.
  • lid 4 is formed by folding flat, substantially elongated rectangular blank 19, the component parts of which are indicated, where possible, using the same reference numbers, with superscripts, as for the corresponding parts of lid 4.
  • Blank 19 has two transverse fold lines 27, and a number of longitudinal fold lines 28 defining, between transverse fold lines 27, a panel 12' forming one major lateral wall 12; a panel 13' forming minor lateral wall 13; and a panel 12' forming the other major lateral wall 12.
  • One panel 12' has two wings 14' and 15', which are located at opposite ends of panel 12', are separated from panel 12' by transverse fold lines 27, and form respective inner portions of end walls 14 and 15;
  • panel 13' has two wings 14" and 15", which are located at opposite ends of panel 13', are separated from panel 13' by transverse fold lines 27, and form respective inner portions of end walls 14 and 15;
  • the other panel 12' has two wings 14"' and 15"', which are located at opposite ends of panel 12', are separated from panel 12' by transverse fold lines 27, and form respective outer portions of end walls 14 and 15.
  • Wings 14', 15', 14" and 15" are shaped so as not to overlap when folded onto wings 14"' and 15"' to define end walls 14 and 15 of lid 4.
  • Figure 8 shows an alternative embodiment of blank 19 for forming lid 4.
  • blank 19 has two longitudinal fold lines 29, and a number of transverse fold lines 30 defining, between longitudinal fold lines 29, a panel 14' forming part of top end wall 14; a panel 12' forming one major lateral wall 12; a panel 15' forming bottom end wall 15; a further panel 12' forming the other major lateral wall 12; and a panel 14" forming the rest of top end wall 14.
  • Each panel 12' has a wing 13' forming part of minor lateral wall 13 and separated from panel 12' by a longitudinal fold line 29.
  • Wing 13' of one panel 12' has two tabs 31 separated from wing 13' by transverse fold lines 30.
  • a top wing 31 and panel 14' are shaped so as not to overlap when folded onto panel 14" to define top end wall 14.
  • Figure 9 shows a further embodiment of blank 19 for forming lid 4.
  • blank 19 has two longitudinal fold lines 29, and a number of transverse fold lines 30 defining, between longitudinal fold lines 29, a panel 15' forming part of bottom end wall 15; a panel 12' forming one major lateral wall 12; a panel 14' forming top end wall 14; a further panel 12' forming the other major lateral wall 12; and a panel 15" forming the rest of bottom end wall 15.
  • Each panel 12' has a wing 13' forming part of minor lateral wall 13 and separated from panel 12' by a longitudinal fold line 29.
  • Wing 13' of one panel 12' has two tabs 31 separated from wing 13' by transverse fold lines 30.
  • a top wing 31 and panel 15' are shaped so as not to overlap when folded onto panel 15" to define bottom end wall 15.
  • longitudinal edges 10, 16 and transverse edges 11, 17 are all square sharp edges.
  • some longitudinal edges 10, 16 and/or some transverse edges 11, 17 are non-square rounded or bevelled edges.
  • all the longitudinal edges 10, 16 may be non-square rounded or bevelled edges, or (as in the cigarette packet described in Patent Application EP 764595 ) all the major transverse edges 11, 17 may be non-square rounded or bevelled edges.
  • some longitudinal edges 10, 16 and some transverse edges 11, 17 may be non-square rounded or bevelled edges, so as to have both non-square rounded or bevelled longitudinal edges 10, 16 and non-square rounded or bevelled transverse edges 11, 17.
  • packet 1 may be as described in Patent Application EP 1066206 ; in which case, each major lateral wall 6, 12 is outwardly convex, and has a respective flat central portion, and two curved, creased lateral bands connecting the flat central portion to minor lateral walls 7, 13 at respective sharp, non-square longitudinal edges 10, 16.
