Definitions

  • This invention relates to a cigarette packet, in particular of the rigid type.
  • cigarette packets of the rigid type substantially have the shape of a parallelepiped and comprise an inner wrapper, normally made of silver paper and surrounding a group of cigarettes, and an outer wrapper, made of paperboard, consisting of a box-shaped body and a hinged lid.
  • a collar fixed to the box-shaped body and forming a connection between the box-shaped body and the lid, guarantees the stability of the lid when closed.
  • the packet is completed by an overwrap, made of transparent thermoplastic material, able to guarantee a hermetic seal for the packet until the moment it is used.
  • the tobacco in the cigarettes maintains its correct level of humidity and its aroma.
  • the aim of this invention is to provide a cigarette packet which overcomes the disadvantage described above.
  • this invention provides a cigarette packet as described in one or more of the appended claims.
  • the numeral 1 denotes in its entirety a cigarette packet substantially having the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped with a longitudinal axis A and comprising an outer wrapper 2 made of paperboard and an inner wrapper 3 made of paperboard, the latter being positioned in direct contact with a group 4 of cigarettes 5 which are positioned parallel with the axis A.
  • the outer wrapper 2 comprises a box-shaped body 6 formed by a lower or bottom wall 7 and by four lateral walls which are parallel with the axis A, consisting of a larger front wall 8, a larger rear wall 9 and two smaller walls or sides 10.
  • a hood-style lid 11 having an upper or top end wall 12, is connected to an upper end of the rear wall 9 by means of a hinge 13 transversal to the axis A, in such a way that the lid can move between a position in which the opening end or mouth, labelled 14, of the box-shaped body 6 is closed, and a position in which the mouth 14 is open.
  • the inner wrapper 3 has an opening 24 designed to allow the cigarettes 5 to be gripped and extracted.
  • a sliding element 18 ( Figure 6a ), comprising a band 19 of material with a low friction coefficient, closed in a loop around an axis B which is transversal to the axis A and perpendicular to the sides 10 of the box-shaped body 6.
  • the numeral 20 denotes an intermediate position, between the bottom wall 7 and the top end 12, for fixing the band 19 to the inner face of the rear wall 9 ( Figures 5a and 6 ). Said fixing can be performed by means of a sealing operation or using an adhesive substance.
  • the annular band 19 comprises an opening 23, which is positioned, with reference to Figure 1 (in which the opening 23 in the band 19 is illustrated with a dashed line), that is to say, when the wrapper 3 is completely housed in the box-shaped body 6, between the opening 15 in the front wall 8 and the end of the box-shaped body 6 where the mouth 14 is located.
  • the user engages with the annular band 19 through the opening 15 in the front wall 8, applying to the band a pushing action according to the axis A and directed, according to the arrow F1, towards the mouth 14 of the box-shaped body 6, in such a way as to cause the inner wrapper 3 to partly come out of the box-shaped body 6 until it reaches a predetermined final position.
  • the opening 23 is again at its starting position ( Figure 1 ) interposed between the opening 8 and the mouth 14 of the box-shaped body 6, thus guaranteeing optimum protection of the cigarettes 5 for as long as the packet 1 contains any.
  • the outer wrapper 2 comprises a lid 17, whose edges are formed by a perforation line 25 delimiting a removable panel 26.
  • the packet 1 comprises an opening or mouth 14 of the box-shaped body 6, which in the embodiment illustrated in Figures 7 to 10 coincides with the outer wrapper 2 ( Figure 8 ).
  • the opposite longitudinal ends of the opening 14 are adjacent to two walls 27 which are parallel with the bottom wall 7, said two walls forming stop means designed to retain the inner wrapper 3 inside the outer wrapper 2.
  • the inner wrapper 3 is made of paperboard and the band 19 comprises an opening 23 substantially equal to the opening 24 in the inner wrapper 3 and the opening or mouth 14 of the outer wrapper 2.
  • the inner wrapper 3 also has its opening 24 closed at the two longitudinal ends by walls 27a ( Figure 10 ) which, when the packet 1 is complete, are positioned below the walls 27 of the outer wrapper 2 with the annular band 19 interposed between them.
  • the user uses a finger to engage with the annular band 19 and to apply to the band an axial pushing action, according to the arrow F1 and directed towards the mouth 14 of the outer wrapper 2.
  • the outer wrapper 2 also comprises an opening 15 in its rear wall 9.
  • the opening 23 in the band 19 is gradually superposed on the opening 24 in the inner wrapper 3 and coincides with the opening 14 in the wrapper 2 (see Figure 8 which shows a band 19 intermediate position between that in which the openings 24 and 14 are completed closed and that in which they are completely open), thus allowing the extraction of cigarettes 5.
  • This second embodiment also guarantees optimum protection of the cigarettes for as long as the packet 1 contains any.
