Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container for consumer goods, in particular a container for smoking articles such as cigarettes.
  • Some cigarette containers comprise a rigid outer housing and an inner package within which cigarettes are contained. These containers have a hinged lid so as to protect the cigarettes stored within the inner package when the lid is closed.
  • the lid is usually attached to or formed in the outer housing of the container.
  • the lid covers an opening in the inner package of the container to protect the goods when the lid is closed.
  • the lid may not provide sufficient protection if it is not properly closed or if it becomes loose due to frequent use.
  • the consumer goods such as cigarettes stored inside in the container may be exposed to the external environment and deteriorate over time.
  • the front surface of the container which is not covered by the lid in the closed position, may contain some messaging for consumers.
  • the visual impact of the messaging may be limited as it is provided below the lid, in the closed position, and may not be necessarily noticed by the consumers.
  • a container for consumer goods comprising a box having an access opening, and a lid pivotally attached to a wall of the box and moveable between an open position and a closed position, wherein the lid comprises a flap that extends beyond the access opening in the box when the lid is in the closed position.
  • the container also comprises a pair of tabs, wherein a first tab is attached to a first side wall of the box and a second tab is attached to a second side wall of the box.
  • the lid further comprises a first side portion and a second side portion and each of the first and second tabs is arranged to frictionally engage with the first and second side portions of the lid when the lid is moved between the open position and the closed position.
  • the tabs help to provide a more secure closure by helping reduce the likelihood of unwanted movement of the lid. This may help preserve the contents of the container.
  • Each tab preferably extends beyond a free edge of each side wall.
  • each tab has an extension of at least 3 mm. It is important to ensure that the tabs have sufficient length, or extension, to ensure a sufficient surface area is provided for the lid side walls to engage with.
  • the pair of tabs may be integrally formed with the first and second side walls of the box.
  • the tabs may therefore be considered as part of the box side walls and so movement between the lid and the box is reduced as a result of the friction created by the tabs during movement of the lid. Reducing motion between the lid and the box reduces the likelihood of the lid from accidentally opening.
  • the tabs therefore increase the strength and security of the closure, in the form of the lid, by preventing unwanted movement between the lid and the box.
  • each tab in the pair of tabs has a substantially trapezoidal shape.
  • any other suitable shape may be used to form the tab, as long as a sufficient surface area of each tab is provided such that the first and second side portions of the lid can frictionally engage with each of the tabs during movement of the lid.
  • Providing a suitable large surface area is important to ensure a secure lid.
  • the first and second side portions of the lid overlap with the first and second tabs. This ensures that the effect of the frictional engagement is maintained when the lid is in the closed position, rather than only when the lid is moved from the closed to the open position. The lid is therefore held more firmly in the closed position which helps secure the container and its contents.
  • the tabs may be arranged to guide the lid into the closed position. This may be achieved by having upwardly extending tabs, when the container is held upright.
  • the upward extension of the tabs may limit unwanted lateral movement of the lid while the lid is being moved between the open and closed positions. This may ensure that the lid remains aligned with the box during movement of the lid and so secure closing of the lid can be achieved, helping protect the contents of the container from damage.
  • reducing lateral motion of the lid when the lid is pivoted prevents unnecessary wear and tear about the pivot point, prolonging the life of the lid and thus the overall container.
  • the tabs may therefore help to provide a more robust container.
  • the tabs help ensure the lid remains aligned and stable in the closed position, increasing the security of the closure provided by the lid.
  • the tabs may extend along a portion of a length of the free edge of each side wall. More preferably, the tabs may extend along the whole length of the free edge of each side wall. A larger extension along the free edge of the side walls provides a larger surface area for the lid side walls to engage with during movement of the lid. A more secure lid is therefore provided as a result of the large contact area between the tabs and the lid side portions.
  • the lid is attached to a wall of the box by a hinge joint.
  • the hinge joint therefore prevents unwanted lateral movement of the lid.
  • Reducing lateral motion of the lid when the lid is moved about the hinge joint prevents the connection between the lid and the box from experiencing unnecessary wear.
  • rotation of the lid about a vertical axis could cause wear and potential tearing at the hinge joint, because the lid may twist around a vertical axis as it is being moved.
  • Preventing this twisting, or lateral movement, of the lid by limiting the rotation of the lid about a horizontal axis therefore prolongs the life of the hinge joint and thus the overall container, and so a more robust container is provided.
  • the container may be used for storing smoking articles, for example cigarettes.
  • kits comprising a container as described previously, and at least one smoking article.
  • a container 1 shown in Fig. 1 comprises a box 2 and a lid 3 that is hinged to the box 2 along a hinge line.
  • Fig. 1 shows the container 1 with the lid 3 in an open position.
  • the box 2 has a rigid outer frame 4 in the form of a plurality of planar surfaces which form the main body of the box 2.
  • a bundle of cigarettes 14 is housed in the box 2 of the container 1.
  • the box 2 has a box front wall 2a, a box left side wall 2b, a box right side wall 2c, a box back wall 2d, and a box bottom wall 2e.
  • An upper side of the box 2, opposite the box bottom wall 2e, is open i.e. there is no box top wall to provide an access opening 6 through which the cigarettes can be inserted and removed.
  • the box front wall 2a and the box back wall 2d of the outer frame 4 each comprise top edges 2a' 2d'.
  • the back wall top edge 2d' corresponds to the hinge line.
  • the box front wall 2a has a length that is less than a length of the box back wall 2d.
  • “length” may also be referred to as "height”. In both cases, the terms "length” and "height" correspond to the longest dimension of the box. Said another way, the distance between the box bottom wall 2e and the back wall top edge 2d' is greater than the distance between the box bottom wall 2e and the front wall top edge 2a'.
  • both the left and right side walls 2b, 2c comprise inclined, or sloping, top edges 17. These inclined top side edges 17 join the back wall top edge 2d' to the front wall top edge 2a'.
  • the lid 3 has a lid top wall 3a, a lid left side wall 3b, a lid right side wall 3c, and a lid back wall 3d.
  • the lid back wall 3a is attached to the box back wall 2d at the hinge line.
  • the lid 3 also has a flap 8 extending from the lid top wall 3a.
  • the flap 8 extends away from the lid top wall 3a, parallel to the lid back wall 3d.
  • the flap 8 is resiliently deformable.
  • the flap 8 is connected to the lid left side wall 3b and the lid right side wall 3c, as shown in Fig. 2 .
  • the flap 8 formed integrally into the lid 3.
  • the flap 8 may be a separate component and in this case is then attached to the lid top wall 3a.
  • the flap 8 is preferably made of the same material as the lid 3.
  • the flap 8 may also extend and fold back onto itself to provide added rigidity.
  • the lid left and right side walls 3b, 3c are substantially trapezoidal in shape, having an inclined edge that slopes downwards from the lid back wall 2d to the flap 8 when the box 2 is held in an upright, operative position with the access opening 6 at the top of the box 2.
  • the inclined edges have a slope which corresponds to the same slope as the inclined top edges 17 of the box 2.
  • the box 2 comprises a pair of tabs 20.
  • the tabs 20 extend from the box side walls 2b, 2c away from the box bottom wall 2e.
  • the tabs 20 extend substantially upwards.
  • the tabs 20 are integrally formed with the side walls 2b, 2c of the box.
  • the tabs 20 may be formed separately and attached to the side walls 2b, 2c of the box 2.
  • the tabs 20 have a generally trapezoidal shape, having an upper edge 20a, a lower edge 2b, and two side edges 20c, 20d.
  • the side edges 20c, 20d are angled towards each other so that the upper edge 20a is shorter in length than the lower edge 20b.
  • the connection, or join, between the box side walls and the tabs is formed at the lower edge 20b.
  • the tabs 20 have a width of substantially 3 mm.
  • width is defined is the distance between the upper and lower edges 20a, 20b of the tab.
  • the front wall 2a of the box 2 comprises a front surface of the outer frame 4.
  • the flap 8 abuts the surface of the front wall 2a of the box 2.
  • the flap 8 extends beyond the access opening 6 to cover at least half of the surface of the front wall 2a of the box 2. More preferably, the flap 8 covers two-thirds or between substantially 60 to 70 percent of the surface of the front wall 2a of the box 2.
  • the lid 3 is configured such that when the lid 3 is pushed towards the closed position, using the flap 8, the lid side walls 3b, 3c slide over the tabs 20, until the free side edges of the left and right side walls 3b, 3c of the lid 3 abut the top side edges 17 of the box 2 at the line of abutment, in the closed position. In this position, the side walls of the lid 3b, 3c overlap with the tabs 20. As the tabs 20 can be thought of as an extension of the box side walls 2b, 2c, the side walls 3b, 3c of the lid 3 can be thought of as overlapping the side walls 2b, 2c of the box 2. Due to the lid side walls 3b, 3c sliding over the tabs 20, there will be an increase in friction between these two surfaces.
  • the tabs 20 act to guide the lid 3 into the closed position as the lid is rotated about the hinge line. Due to the upward protrusion, or extension, of the tabs 20 unwanted lateral movement of the lid 3 is prevented while the lid 3 is being moved between the open and closed positions. The lid 3 therefore remains aligned with the main body of the box 2 during movement of the lid 3. Thus, secure closing of the lid can be achieved, which helps protect the contents of the container 1 from damage. Furthermore, reducing lateral motion of the lid 3 when the lid 3 is moved about the hinge line prevents the connection between the lid 3 and the box 2 i.e. the hinge line from unnecessary wear. Rotation of the lid 3 around a vertical axis could cause wear and potential tearing of the connection at the edges of the hinge line.
  • the lid 3 may twist around the vertical axis as it is being moved about the hinge line, which defines a horizontal axis. Preventing this twisting, or lateral movement, of the lid 3 when the lid is rotated about a horizontal axis therefore prolongs the life of the hinge line and thus the overall container 1.
  • the tabs 20 therefore provide a more robust container 1.
  • the flap 8 also comprises a locking tab 9 projecting away from the main body of the flap 8.
  • the locking tab 9 is substantially continuous with the main body of the flap 8 and so it can be considered that the locking tab 9 extends outwards from the front edge of the flap 8.
  • the locking tab 9 is configured to engage with a cut-out portion 10 provided in the surface of the inner frame 5.
  • the cut-out portion 10 is formed as a trapezoid-shaped segment with partial cuts in the angled sides 10a, 10b and a full cut 11 substantially midway between the parallel sides 10c, 10d of the segment.
  • the upper segment containing the side 10c is embossed and the lower segment containing the side 10d is debossed.
  • the flap 8 extends over the front wall 2a of the box 2.
  • the lid 3 is moved from the closed position to the open position shown in Fig. 1 .
  • the tab 9 contained in the slot 10 is pulled out and the flap 8 is moved upwards away from the main body of the box 2 exposing the access opening 6.
  • the lid 3 is moved from the open position to the closed position.
  • the flap 8 may be provided with indicia such as health warnings, on its outer surface, which is the side that is visible when the lid 3 is closed.
  • the indicia may be provided at multiple locations on the flap 8. In general, the indicia are provided on the front face of the flap 8 and on one or both sides 2b, 2c of the box 2. As the flap 8 covers at least the half of the front face 2a of the box 2 from the top, visual impact of the indicia is more prominent.
  • the indicia are text. However, any other type or combination of indication or marking could be provided including numerals, logos and images.
  • Indicia can also be provided on other parts of the flap 8, such as on the inside surface of the flap 8 or the front surface 2a of the outer frame 4. Indicia on such surfaces are selected such that they can be viewed effectively by the consumer when the container 1 is opened. Indicia could be in the form of any branding or promotional messages.
  • the indicia can be provided by one or more of an ink, a varnish, a lacquer, embossing, debossing, and hot foil stamping. Where the indicia are provided by an ink they can be separated from the consumer goods in order to prevent any potential migration of compounds to the consumer goods. This may be achieved by providing the indicia at a position on the flap 8 that is offset from the access opening 6 when the lid 3 is in the closed position. Alternatively, or in addition, a coating (not shown) may be provided on the flap 8 in the vicinity of the indicia to prevent egression of compounds therefrom and into the consumer goods. In one arrangement a frame (not shown) can be provided on the flap 8 around the portion of the flap 8 that overlies the access opening 6 when the lid 3 is in the closed position.
  • the indicia can be visible at all times when the lid 3 is moved from the closed position to the open position.
  • Figs. 3 and 4 show an alternative container 100.
  • the box 102 has a frame 104 in the form of a plurality of planar surfaces which form the main body of the box 102.
  • the box 102 has a box front wall 102a, a box left side wall 102b, a box right side wall 102c, a box back wall 102d, and a box bottom wall 102e.
  • the box front wall 102a, the left side wall 102b, and the right side wall 102c are all integrally formed with each other.
  • these walls are not separate components that are joined together to form the frame 104 but instead are formed using a single sheet of material, as with Fig. 1 .
  • This configuration may provide a stronger container 100 as there are fewer joins. Additionally, this configuration 100 may be easier to construct as there are fewer individual components.
  • the length of the top edges 117 of each of the left and right box side walls 102b, 102c is greater i.e. longer than the length of the top edges 17 of each of the left and right box side walls 2b, 2c of the box 2 in Fig. 1 .
  • This increase in length is achieved by creating a steeper angle between the top edge of the box side wall and a horizontal plane than was created in the box 2 in Fig. 1 .
  • the top edges 117 of this example have a greater incline, or are steeper, than the top edges 17 of the Fig. 1 example.
  • the tabs 120 extend along the top edge 117 of the side walls and, as before with reference to Fig. 1 , the tabs 120 extend across the whole of the top edge 117 of the side walls.
  • the tabs 120 in this example therefore have a greater length than the tabs 20 of the example shown in Fig. 1 .
  • the tabs 120 in this example do not extend across the front wall 102a of the box 102.
  • the tabs 120 in this example are configured the same and operate in same way as those described with respect to Fig. 1 .
  • Figs. 5 and 6 show another alternative container 200.
  • This example is similar to the example shown in Figs. 1 and 2 in that the box 202 has a frame 204 in the form of a plurality of substantially planar surfaces which form the main body of the box 202.
  • the box 202 has a box front wall 202a, a box left side wall 202b, a box right side wall 202c, a box back wall 202d, and a box bottom wall 202e.
  • the join between the box front wall 202a and the left and right side walls 202b, 202c does not form a corner i.e. is not substantially right-angular.
  • the join between the front wall 202a, and the two side walls 202b, 202c is substantially curved.
  • the box 202 therefore comprises two curved portions 213 on the left and right front sides of the box 202, as shown in Fig. 5 .
  • the box front wall 202a, the left side wall 202b, and the right side wall 202c are all integrally formed with each other. That is to say, these three walls are not separate components that are joined together to form the frame 204.
  • This design may increase the strength of the container 200 as there are fewer joints, and so fewer weak points, within the box design.
  • this design may be provide a simpler construction process because there are fewer individual components.
  • the proportion of the box side walls 202b, 202c (and therefore also the top edges 217 of the side walls) which is straight is less than in Figs 1 .
