SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Technical problem

[0005] As a conventional technology, there is a package in which a group of cigarettes is lifted together with the opening and closing of the lid. In such conventional technology, a group of cigarettes is lifted by simply opening and closing the lid, and accordingly, it is convenient to remove the cigarette from the package. However, the disadvantage of such a conventional technology is that the range of possible lifting is small, and the lifting is not fixed in the structure and strength. In addition, there is a conventional technique for raising a group of cigarettes by another operation than opening and closing the lid. However, in such conventional technology, the lifting operation must be carried out separately from opening and closing. This problem exists not only in the packaging for placing cigarettes, but also in the packaging for placing items to be placed.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of this problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a technology associated with a new packaging with a hinged lid, allowing raising and lowering of objects to be placed together with opening and closing of the lid.

Solution

[0007] To solve this problem, the present invention is provided with a reed element that helps to raise and lower the connecting part, which rises and falls together with the opening and closing of the lid.

[0008] Namely, the present invention is a hinged-lid package comprising a body in the form of a substantially rectangular parallelepiped that accommodates items to be placed and includes an opening to allow retrieval of items to be placed and a lid that is rotatable connected to the rear edge of the specified hole through a hinge and opens and closes the specified hole, and the specified package with a hinged lid includes: rising and lowering part, to which is provided on the lower side of the specified housing, allows objects to be placed on it and rises and lowers together with the opening and closing of the specified cover; a connecting part that connects said lid to said rising and lowering part and raises and lowers said rising and lowering part together with opening and closing the lid; and the reed element, which is a continuation of the lid down, is in contact with the specified connecting part and helps to raise and lower the specified connecting part together with the opening and closing of the cover.

[0009] In a package with a hinged lid according to the invention, said raising and lowering part, which allows objects to be placed on it, rises and falls together with opening and closing the lid. Thus, the objects to be placed are raised and lowered simply by opening and closing the lid, in other words, without separately performing operations for raising and lowering, and therefore, the objects to be placed can conveniently be removed from said package with a hinged lid. The hinged-lid package of the invention includes a reed element, so that strength is improved compared to a conventional package, which rises together with opening and closing the lid, and it is possible to reliably raise and lower said rising and lowering part. In a configuration in which the lid and the rising and lowering part are simply connected to each other and the rising and lowering part rises and falls, the load is concentrated in the part where the lid is connected to the rising and lowering part, and in the present invention, the tongue element helps to lift and lowering so that the load is distributed. As a result, strength is improved, and a stable raising and lowering of the lifting and lowering part is possible. In addition, the length of said reed element is adjustable, so that the range of movement when raising and lowering can be adjusted. Thus, the range of movement when raising and lowering can be increased compared with the range of movement in conventional packaging by adjusting, for example, the length of the reed element.

[0010] The specified rising and lowering part should only allow objects placed in the package to fit on this part and rise and fall together with the opening and closing of the lid. Therefore, said rising and lowering part can be formed by an inclined surface in which the back side when rising becomes higher or when lifting may become higher gradually in the backward direction. The specified reed element should only be in contact with the specified connecting part and help to raise and lower the connecting part. Position, size, shape, quantity, etc. the reed element is not particularly limited.

[0011] In this case, the reed element is in contact with the connecting part and is able to help raise and lower the connecting part by pressing on the connecting part with the tip of said reed element when the lid is opened and closed. In this case, the objects to be placed, which are placed in the housing, are located in front of the specified connecting part. Thus, in particular, in the case when the housing is filled with objects to be placed, it is assumed that the connecting part is held between the objects to be placed and the reed element, and the raising and lowering of the connecting part is prevented from colliding with the objects to be placed. Therefore, in the present invention, the hinge is configured to retract when the lid is opened and closed.

[0012] Specifically, the hinged-lid package of the invention may further include a slot provided along a rear corner of the housing and extending downward from the hinge. Thus, the hinge is configured to retract when the lid is opened and closed, and collision between the connecting part and the objects to be placed can be prevented.

[0013] Specifically, the hinge-lid package of the invention may further include: a second hinge provided on the underside of the hinge; and a slit provided along the rear corner of the housing and extending from said hinge to the second hinge.

[0014] Thus, the hinge is configured to retreat when the lid is opened and closed, and collision between the connecting part and the objects to be placed can be prevented. As a result, it is possible to more comfortably raise and lower the rising and lowering part together with opening and closing the lid. Said slot preferably extends upward to the second hinge, but may extend below the second hinge. A second hinge may not be provided, and only a slot may be provided. In this case, when the lid is opened and closed, the function of securing the hinge backward deteriorates compared to the case where a second hinge is provided, however, it is easier to assemble the package.

[0015] In the hinged-lid package of the invention, the items to be placed are lifted, and therefore, it is assumed that when the cover is closed, the cover collides with the upper ends of the items to be placed, and this interferes with opening and closing of the cover. And therefore, in the present invention, a hinge and a slot can be further provided.

[0016] Specifically, the hinge-lid package of the invention may further include a third hinge provided on the upper side of the hinge; and a slit provided along the rear corner of the lid and extending from said hinge to a third hinge.

[0017] Thus, it is possible to increase the opening of the lid and collision between the lid and objects to be placed can be prevented in order to more easily open and close the lid. As a result, it is more convenient to retrieve items to be placed from the package.

[0018] Said rising and lowering part may comprise boxes that divide and place objects to be placed in a plurality of rows, and raise and lower row after row together with opening and closing the lid, and a connecting part that connects said boxes in front direction back. Therefore, it is possible to carry out the raising and lowering of objects to be placed, row by row. Said boxes are connected by means of said connecting part, and it is possible to raise and lower a plurality of said boxes together with opening and closing the lid.

[0019] Moreover, when the number of items to be placed in boxes decreases, the items to be placed, for example, sometimes become tilted. In this case, even when the boxes rise, the upper ends of the objects to be placed do not protrude, and therefore, the upper ends of the objects to be placed can sometimes not be taken. These boxes may contain a small element that prevents the movement of objects to be placed. Therefore, even when the number of items to be placed is reduced, the movement of items to be placed is prevented, and, for example, the situation where the items to be placed becomes tilted is eliminated. As a result, even when the number of items to be placed is reduced, it is possible to provide convenient extraction of the items to be placed.

[0020] The hinged-lid package of the invention may further comprise a gripping member that allows the housing to control opening and closing of the lid. Thus, the opening and closing of the lid can be controlled.

[0021] Moreover, as described above, the disadvantage of conventional technology is that the items to be placed cannot be conveniently removed when the number of items to be placed is reduced.

[0022] The present invention can be defined as a part that solves such a problem. Specifically, the present invention is a package comprising a housing having a shape of a substantially rectangular parallelepiped that accommodates objects to be placed, and includes an opening for allowing the objects to be removed and a lid that covers at least said opening, wherein said package includes: a rising and lowering part, comprising: small boxes that divide and place objects to be placed in a plurality of rows, and raise and lower row after row; and a connecting part that connects said boxes in a front to back direction in which said rows pass, and forms a gap between the boxes when lifting the boxes; and a connecting part that is connected to said rising and lowering part and raises and lowers said rising and lowering part.

[0023] In the package of the invention, said rising and falling part is divided row by row. Thus, even in the case where the number of items to be placed is reduced, the range of movement of the items to be placed can be reduced compared to the case where the specified lifting and lowering part is not divided. As a result, in the package of the invention, even when the number of items to be placed is reduced, the situation where the items to be placed becomes tilted is prevented. That is, in a package according to the invention, boxes that contain items to be placed are raised and lowered row by row, and furthermore, items to be placed are placed in boxes, so that the range of movement is reduced. Accordingly, items to be placed can be conveniently removed from the package. The boxes are connected by means of the specified connecting parts, and the raising and lowering of many of these boxes can be carried out together with the raising and lowering of the specified connecting parts. In addition, by means of said connecting part, a gap can be formed between the boxes, and the objects to be placed are separated in a front to back direction, and accordingly are conveniently gripped. Thus, the items to be placed can conveniently be removed from the package compared with the case when these boxes are located close to each other.

[0024] In this case, said raising and lowering part is able to rise and fall so that the gap in the front to back direction between the objects to be placed, which are placed in the respective boxes, gradually expands towards the upper sides of the objects to be placed when the boxes are raised. In other words, objects that are placed in boxes are able to rise so as to unfold in the form of a fan in a side view. In the package according to the invention, the specified gap in the front to back direction expands in addition to lifting the boxes row by row, and accordingly, the upper sides of the objects to be placed are very conveniently gripped, and the objects to be placed which are placed in the boxes can be conveniently removed.

[0025] The gap between the objects to be placed can be determined by the length in the front to back direction of the specified connecting part. For example, the length from front to back of the connecting part is increased, so that the gap between the objects to be placed can be increased. The length in the front to back direction of the connecting part can be appropriately calculated in accordance with the sizes and shapes of the items to be placed, and the main user segment of the items to be placed, and the like.

[0026] The specified connecting part can connect the rising and lowering part with the lid and raise and lower the rising and lowering part together with the opening and closing of the lid. The specified connecting part connects the rising and lowering part with the cover, so that the raising and lowering of the rising and lowering parts can be carried out together with the opening and closing of the cover. That is, the items to be placed are raised and lowered simply by opening and closing the lid, in other words, without separately performing operations for raising and lowering, and accordingly, the items to be placed can be conveniently removed from the package.

[0027] The specified connecting piece is able to connect the upper edges of the boxes located front and rear. The connecting piece is also able to connect the lower edges of the boxes located in front and behind. In addition, the connecting part is also able to connect other sections, in addition to the upper edges or lower edges of the boxes located in front and behind. The junction of the boxes is not particularly limited. However, the upper edges of the boxes located front and rear are connected to each other, so that it is possible to effectively widen the gap in the front to back direction between the objects to be placed. In addition, the upper edges of the boxes are connected to each other, so that it is possible to adjust the expansion from front to back of the boxes. For example, the lengths from front to back of the plurality of connecting parts are made the same, so that the boxes can be expanded with the same gap. As a result, the appearance can be further improved when the boxes open in the shape of a fan in a side view.

[0028] The housing may include an opening in at least one portion on the front side, so that the objects to be placed are tilted forward as the rising and lowering part rises, and the lid may close said opening of the housing. The specified one part on the front side of the housing (for example, the upper part) is open, so that the objects to be placed are conveniently removed, and the gap in the front to back direction between the objects to be placed is easily widened. As a result, items to be placed can be more conveniently removed from the package.

[0029] The package of the invention may further include a slot provided along the front corner of the housing and extending downward from the edge of the opening on the front side. Therefore, the gap in the front to back direction between the objects to be placed is easily widened. As a result, the placed objects can be more conveniently removed from the package.

[0030] The package of the invention may further include a reed element, which is a continuation of the lid, extends downwardly, is in contact with the connecting part and helps to raise and lower the connecting part together with opening and closing the lid.

[0031] The packaging of the invention includes a reed element, so that the strength is improved compared to conventional packaging, which raises together with the opening and closing of the lid, and the boxes can be stably raised and lowered. In a configuration in which the lid and the rising and lowering part are simply connected to each other, and the rising and lowering part rises and falls, the load is concentrated in the part where the lid is connected to the rising and lowering part, and the tongue element helps to raise and lower, so that the load is distributed. As a result, the strength is improved, and a stable raising and lowering of the rising and lowering part is possible. In addition, the length of the reed element is adjustable, so that the range of movement when raising and lowering can be adjusted, and the range of movement when raising and lowering can be made, for example, greater than the range of movement in conventional packaging.

[0032] In this case, the reed element is in contact with the connecting part and may be able to help raise and lower the connecting part by pressing on the connecting part with the tip of the reed element when the lid is opened and closed. In this case, the objects to be placed, which are placed in the housing, are in front of the connecting part. Thus, in particular, in the case when the housing is filled with objects to be placed, it is assumed that the connecting part is held between the objects to be placed and the reed element, raising and lowering the connecting part prevents collision with objects to be placed. Therefore, in the present invention, said hinge is configured to retract when the lid is opened and closed.

[0033] Specifically, the package of the invention may further include: a second hinge provided on the underside of the hinge; and a slit provided along the rear corner of the housing and extending from said hinge to the second hinge.

[0034] Thus, when the lid is opened and closed, the hinge can retract so that collision between the connecting part and the objects to be placed can be prevented. As a result, it is possible to more comfortably raise and lower the specified rising and lowering part together with closing and opening the lid. The specified gap preferably extends to the second hinge, but may extend below the second hinge. A second hinge may not be provided, and only a slot may be provided. In this case, when the lid is opened and closed, the function of securing the hinge backward deteriorates compared to the case where a second hinge is provided, however, it is easier to assemble the package.

[0035] In the package of the invention, the items to be placed are lifted, and accordingly, it is assumed that when the lid is closed, the cover collides with the upper edges of the items to be placed, and this prevents opening and closing of the cover. And therefore, in the present invention, a hinge and a slot can be further provided.

[0036] Specifically, the package of the invention further includes a third hinge provided on an upper side of said hinge and a slit provided along a rear corner of the lid and extending from said hinge to a third hinge.

[0037] Thus, it is possible to increase the opening of the lid and collision between the lid and objects to be placed can be prevented in order to more easily open and close the lid. As a result, it is more convenient to retrieve items to be placed from the package.

[0038] The package of the invention may further comprise a gripping member that allows the housing to control the opening and closing of the lid. Thus, the opening and closing of the lid can be controlled.

[0039] The present invention can also be defined as a lifting and lowering device, including the specified lifting and lowering part. For example, the present invention is a lifting and lowering device, comprising: a lifting and lowering part, comprising: boxes that divide and place objects to be placed in a plurality of rows, and raise and lower row by row; and a connecting part that connects said boxes in a front to back direction in which said rows continue, and forms a gap between the boxes when lifting the boxes; and a connecting part, which is connected to the specified rising and lowering part, and raises and lowers the specified rising and lowering part.

[0040] Items to be housed that are housed in the package body with a hinged lid are not specifically limited. However, an example of items to be placed may be a set of rod-shaped products, such as tobacco products. That is, the items to be placed according to the invention can be tobacco products. Examples of tobacco products can be, for example, cigarettes (filter cigarettes, non-filter cigarettes), cigars, cigarillos, smokeless tobacco, snuff, chewing tobacco and electronic cigarettes.

[0041] Means for solving this problem in the present invention can be used in a variety of combinations.

Beneficial effects of the invention

[0042] According to the invention, it is possible to provide technology associated with a new hinged-lid package, allowing raising and lowering of items to be placed together with opening and closing of the lid.

[0045] <First embodiment>

<< Configuration >>

A package 101 with a hinged lid (hereinafter referred to simply as “packing”) in accordance with the first embodiment is a so-called boxed package with a hinged lid having the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. The package 101 mainly includes a package body 1, which performs the function of the accommodating part, a cover 2, which performs the function of a closing part, which is pivotally connected to the package body 1 by means of the first hinge H, boxes 3, which function as lifting and lowering parts, which rise and fall together opening and closing the lid 2, and the connecting plate 4, which performs the function of the connecting part, which is connected to the lid 2 and boxes 3, and the reed element 5, which serves as an auxiliary th part that helps to raise and lower the connecting plate 4. Hereinafter, in this description, except as specifically indicated, the side of the front surface of the package 100a is defined as the "front side", and the side of the back surface is defined as the "back side". The side of the lid of the package 100a is defined as the “upper side”, and the opposite side (lower side of the package) is defined as the “lower side”. The side wall of the package 100a is defined as a “side” or “transverse direction”. The package 101 in accordance with the first embodiment may be formed of, for example, paper material, or polymer, but the material of the package 101 is not limited to these materials.

[0046] << Packaging body >>

The housing 1 of the package contains cigarettes 6 and is a box-shaped housing having a shape in which the upper end side, having the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, is obliquely cut off. The package body 1 comprises a front wall 11 of the package body, a rear wall 12 of the package body, side walls 13 of the package body, and a lower wall 14 of the package body. The front wall 11 of the package body and the rear wall 12 of the package body have corresponding longitudinal rectangular shapes. The front wall 11 of the package body has a rectangular shape, the height of which is greater than the height of the rear wall 12 of the package body, and faces the rear wall 12 of the package body. The side walls 13 of the package body are connected both to the side edges of the front wall 11 of the package body and to the side edges of the rear wall 12 of the package body, and each has the shape of an irregular quadrangle in which the upper end of the rectangle is an inclined side. That is, the upper edges 131 of the side walls 13 of the package body are inclined so that the upper end of the front wall 11 of the package body and the upper end of the rear wall 12 of the package body are connected to each other. The bottom wall 14 of the package body has a rectangular shape and is connected to the lower ends of the front wall 11 of the package body and the rear wall 12 of the package body. The back wall 12 of the packaging body is made with a first hinge H1, a reed element 5, a second hinge H2 and slots 7.

[0047] The first hinge H1 is formed at the boundary between the rear wall 12 of the package body and the rear wall 22 of the lid, passes through the rear and mutually rotates to connect the rear wall 12 of the package body with the lid 2.

[0048] The tongue element 5 is formed from the center region of the first hinge H1 to the lower side. The tongue element 5 is formed by cutting out the back wall 12 of the package body in the center region of the first hinge H1 in a U-shape. The reed element 5 is a continuation of the back wall 22 of the cover and rotates together with the opening and closing of the cover 2, and the tip rises and falls. In addition, the reed element 5 comprises an inner surface that is in contact with the outer surface of the connecting plate 4. Thus, when the reed element 5 is rotated together with the opening and closing of the lid 2, the connecting plate 4 in contact with the reed element 5 also rises and falls together with the movement of the reed element 5. In this embodiment, the reed element 5 comprises a curved lower end edge. However, the shape of the reed element 5 is not particularly limited and may be, for example, rectangular.

[0049] The second hinge H2 is formed on the lower side relative to the first hinge H1 and the reed element 5 and extends through the rear. The second hinge H2 functions as one of the axes of rotation of the lid 2 and allows the first hinge H1 to retract when the lid is opened and closed.

[0050] Slots 7 are formed from the first hinge H1 to the second hinge H2, in the corner portions formed between the rear wall of the package body and the side walls 13 of the package body (for example, see FIG. 2A). Slots 7 allow the first hinge H1 to retreat back along with the second hinge H2 when the lid is opened and closed. In addition, the slot 7 performs the function of further increasing the opening of the lid 2.

[0051] The package body 1, made as described above, includes an opening at the upper end. In addition, the cover 2 is pivotally (rotatably) connected (connected) to the rear edges of the hole through the first hinge H1.

[0052] << Cover >>

Cover 2 closes the opening of the package body 1. The lid 2 comprises a rectangular rear wall 22 of the lid connected to the first hinge H1, a rectangular upper wall 24 of the lid connected so as to be perpendicular to the rear wall 22 of the lid, and a pair of rectangular side walls 23 of the lid connected so as to be perpendicular to the upper wall 24 of the lid . The side walls 23 of the cover are connected to the corresponding side edges of the rear wall 22 of the cover and the corresponding side edges of the upper wall 24 of the cover. When the lid 2 is in the open position, the cigarettes 6 are freely placed and removed from the opening of the package body 1 (for example, see FIG. 3). On the other hand, when the lid is in the closed position, the inclined sides of the side walls 23 of the lid, i.e. the inclined lower end edges 231, and the inclined sides of the side walls 13 of the package body, i.e. the inclined upper edges 131 are aligned with each other. In addition, the leading edge 241 of the upper wall 24 of the lid and the upper edge 111 of the front wall 11 of the packaging body are aligned with each other. As a result, the opening of the package body 1 is closed by a lid 2 and a closed space is formed inside the package body 1. In addition, in this embodiment, the lid grip 25, which protrudes slightly downward, is formed in the center region near the leading edge on the inner surface of the lid upper wall 24. When the lid 2 is in the closed position, the latch 25 of the lid engages with the upper edge 111 of the front wall 11 of the package body. Thus, the cover 2 is held in a closed position.

[0053] << The connecting plate >>

The connecting plate 4 connects the lid 2 with the boxes 3 and raises and lowers the boxes 3 together with the opening and closing of the cover 2. The connecting plate 4 is formed of a rectangular plate and contains a first end connected to the inner surface of the back wall 22 of the lid, and the second end, which is a continuation the rear wall 312 of the rear box 33. In addition, the connecting plate 4 is made with a linear folding part 41 extending in the transverse direction, on the upper side relative to the center in the direction from the top down . More specifically, the collapsible portion 41 is formed in such a position as to align with the lower end edge of the reed member 5. When the cover 2 is in the closed position, the connecting plate 4 has a flat shape. On the other hand, when the cover 2 is in the open position, the connecting plate 4 is bent in the folding part 41 so that the cover 2 falls back. In the case where the connecting plate 4 is formed of a flexible element, the connecting plate 4 may be bent. In this case, the folding part 41 may not be used.

[0054] << Box >>

As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the boxes 3 are composed of a front box 31, a middle box 32 and a back box 33, and the boxes 3 are connected to each other in a front to back direction by means of connecting parts 8. Each box 3 places cigarettes 6 in one row so that the cigarettes 6 continue in the transverse direction, and rises and falls together with the opening and closing of the lid 2.

[0055] The front box 31 is located on a side adjacent to the front wall 11 of the package body and places seven cigarettes in a row. The back box 33 is located on the side next to the back wall 12 of the package body and places seven cigarettes in a row, as well as the front box 31. The middle box 32 is located between the front box 31 and the back box 33 and places seven cigarettes in a row. Each box 3 comprises a front wall 311 of the box, a back wall 312 of the box, side walls 313 of the box, and a bottom wall 314 of the box. The front wall 311 of each box and the rear wall 312 of each box have an elongated rectangular shape, have almost the same area and face each other. The side walls 313 of each box are connected both to the side edges of the front wall 311 of the box and to the side edges of the back wall 312 of the box, and each has an elongated rectangular shape. The bottom wall 314 of each box has a rectangular shape and is connected to the lower end edge of the front wall 311 of the box and the lower end edge of the back wall 312 of the box. The connecting plate 4, which extends upward and is integral with the rear wall 312, is a continuation of the rear wall 312 of the rear box 33.

[0056] In the front wall 311 of each box, on the side next to one of the side walls 313 of the box, a small element 9 is formed to control the movement of cigarettes 6. This small element 9 has a width that is approximately equal to half the width of the front wall 311 of the box and protrudes inward boxes. A small element 9 is formed with a folding part 91 in the width direction, bends with the folding part 91 as a center, and functions as an elastic element. A small element 9 pushes the cigarettes 6 placed in the box 3 inward, so that the movement of the cigarettes 6 is controlled 6. In addition, in the back wall 312 of each box, a similar small element 9 is formed on the side next to the other side wall 313 of the box.

[0057] The connecting pieces 8 include a first connecting piece 81 that connects the front wall 11 of the package body to the front box 31, a second connecting piece 82 that connects the front box 31 to the middle box 32, and a third connecting piece 83 that connects the middle box 32 with a back box 33. The first connecting part 81 includes a plate front connecting part 811, which is connected to the inner surface of the front wall 11 of the package body and is parallel to the front the wall 11 of the package body, and the rear connecting part 812, which contains the upper end edge connected to the upper end edge of the front wall 311 of the front box 31, and the lower end edge connected to the lower end edge of the front connecting part 811 and is parallel to the front wall 311 of the front boxes 31. The lower part of the rear connecting part 812 is formed by a foldable folding part 813. Thus, the length in the top down direction of the rear connecting part 812 varies in the middle The condition of the folding part 813. The folding part 813 includes a first convex folding part 814, a first plate 815, a second convex folding part 816, a second plate 817 and a concave folding part 818, folding in the corresponding folding part, thereby changing the length in the direction from above way down. The front connecting part 811 is an adhesive edge connected to the inner surface of the front wall 11 of the package body and has a length in a downward direction required to function as an adhesive edge. The length in the top down direction of the rear connector 812 is greater than the length in the top down direction of the front connector 811. The length in the top down direction of the rear connector 812 in a state where the folding part 913 expands is greater than the length in the downward direction of the rear connector 812 is in a state where the folding part 813 is compressed. Thus, the front box 31, connected to the rear connecting part 812 of the first connecting part 81, is also able to move from top to bottom, in other words, to rise and fall. The second connecting part 82 and the third connecting part 83 have the same configuration. When an example of the third connecting part 83 is given, the front connecting part 831 differs from the first connecting part 81 in that the upper end edge of the front connecting part 831 is connected to the upper end edge of the rear wall 312 of the middle box 32, but other configurations are the same. In the state where the folding part 813 is bent, the length in the top-down direction of the rear connecting part 832 is equal to the length in the top-down direction of the front connecting part 831. On the other hand, in the state where the folding part 833 is deployed, the length in the top-down direction of the back connecting part 832 is longer than the length in the top-down direction of the front connecting part 831. Thus, the rear box 33 connected to the rear connecting part 832 of the third connecting part 83 is also capable of eschatsya from top to bottom, in other words, to rise and fall.

[0066] The connecting portion R5 includes a connecting panel P31, which turns into a connecting plate 4. The connecting panel P31 is made with a line L3, which turns into a linear folding part 41.

[0067] The first first blank B1 is folded along the fold lines shown by dashed lines in FIG. 7A. The result is a package 101, including the housing 1 of the package and the cover 2, shown in Fig.1-Fig.6. In the region R1 of the body of the first workpiece B1, the first workpiece B1 is bent along the fold lines, and the inner lower valves of the casing P6 are combined, superimposed on the panel P3 of the lower wall of the casing, and the internal side flaps P5 of the casing are glued to the panels P2 of the side walls of the casing, thereby forming casing 1 packaging.

[0068] On the other hand, in the cover region R2 of the first blank B1, the first blank B1 is folded along the fold lines, the inner side flaps P10 of the lid are glued to the panels P9 of the side walls of the lid, and the inner upper flap valve P11 is applied to the panel P8 of the upper wall of the lid, thereby forming a cover 3.

[0069] The specified second preform B2 is folded along the crease lines shown by dashed lines in Fig. 7B. The result is boxes 3, connecting parts 8 and connecting plate 4, shown in Fig.1-Fig.6. In the connecting sections R3-1, R3-2, R3-3 of the second workpiece B2, the second workpiece B2 is bent along the fold lines, thereby forming the connecting parts 8. In sections R4-1, R4-2, R4-3 of the boxes of the second workpiece B2, the inner the lower flaps P30 of the boxes are placed on the panel P27 of the lower walls of the boxes, and the inner side valves P29 of the boxes are glued to the panels P26 of the side walls of the boxes, thereby forming boxes.

[0070] As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the upper part of the connecting plate 4 is glued to the lid 2, and the front connecting part 811 of the first connecting part 81 is connected to the front wall 12 of the package body, thereby forming a package 101.

[0071] << Opening and closing operation >>

Below will be described the operation of opening and closing the lid 2 in the package 101. The operation described below is carried out in conjunction with the opening and closing of the lid 2.

[0072] As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, in the package 101, when the lid 2 is in the closed position, the lid 2 closes the opening of the package body 2. In the case when the cigarettes 6, placed in the package 101, do not need to be removed, the package 101 is usually in a closed state. In the closed state, the lid grip 25 engages with the upper edge of the front wall 11 of the package body, and the opening and closing of the lid 2 is adjustable.

[0073] As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, when the cigarettes 6 located in the package 101 are removed, the lid 2 is opened. Specifically, the engagement of the lid grip 25 with the upper edge of the front wall 11 of the package body is disengaged, and the lid 2 begins to rotate (FIG. 3 (a), FIG. 4 (a), FIG. 5 (a), FIG. 6 (a)) . The package 101 includes a first hinge H1 and a second hinge H2, and the lid 2 pivots both around the first hinge H1 and around the second hinge H2. As shown in Fig. 3 (a), Fig. 4 (a), Fig. 5 (a) and Fig. 6 (a), at the initial stage of rotation, the cover 2 rotates rather around the second hinge H2, rather than around the first hinge H1. The connecting plate 4 is gradually pulled up to start lifting together with the rotation of the cover 2. In addition, the reed element 5 begins to rotate around the first hinge H1 together with the cover 2. In this case, the reed element 5 raises the connecting plate 4, while at the same time advancing the connecting plate 4 forward. Under the influence of the reaction force on the force of advancement of the connecting plate 4 forward by the reed element 5, the first hinge H1 gradually moves backward. In addition, the connecting plate 4 is pulled up by the cover 2 and advanced upward by the tongue 5. As a result, the connecting plate 4 begins to rise together with the cover 2. The connecting plate 4 begins to rise so that the folding part 813 of the rear connecting part 812 of the third connecting part begins to expand. As a result, at first, the back box 33 from the boxes 3 begins to rise gradually.

[0074] As shown in FIG. 3 (b), FIG. 4 (b), FIG. 5 (b) and FIG. 6 (b), in an intermediate turning step, the cover 2 rotates around the first hinge H1 rather than around the second hinge H2. The connecting plate 4 is additionally pulled up to rise together with the rotation of the cover 2. In addition, the reed element 5 further rotates around the first hinge H1 together with the cover 2. In this case, the reed element 5 raises the connecting plate 4, while pushing the connecting plate 4 forward. When the reed element becomes horizontal, the reaction force on the forward force of the connecting plate 4 acts more intensely, and the first hinge H1 further moves back. The connecting plate 4 is pulled upward by the cover 2 and further advanced upward by the tongue 5. As a result, after the folding part 813 of the rear connecting part 812 of the third connecting part begins to expand, the folding part 813 of the rear connecting part 812 of the second connecting part begins to expand. As a result, the middle box 32 of the boxes 3 gradually begins to rise after the back box 33 rises.

[0075] As shown in FIG. 3 (c), FIG. 4 (c), FIG. 5 (c) and FIG. 6 (c), in the final turning step, the cover 2 pivots rather around the first hinge H1 rather than around the second hinge H2. Together with the rotation of the cover 2, the connecting plate 4 is additionally pulled up to rise. In addition, together with the lid 2, the reed element 5 further rotates around the first hinge H1. In this case, the reed element 5 raises the connecting plate 4, while at the same time gradually moving the connecting plate 4 forward or obliquely upward. When the reed element 5 gradually tilts, moving from a vertical position to a horizontal position, and additionally gradually begins to deviate from the horizontal position, the reaction force to the pushing force of the connecting plate 4 forwards weakens, and the added downward force to open the cover 2 turns into a force raising the connecting plate 4 using the first hinge H1 as the axis of rotation. In addition, the connecting plate 4 is pulled upward by the lid 2, and further advanced upward by the reed member 5. As a result, after the folding part 813 of the rear connecting part 812 of the third connecting part begins to expand, the folding part 813 of the rear connecting part 812 of the second the connecting part, and the rear connecting part 812 of the first connecting part also begins to expand. As a result, all boxes 3 rise. In addition, the rear box 33 rises above all, then the middle box 32 rises high and at the end the front box 31 rises.

[0076] << Effects >>

In the package 101 in accordance with the first embodiment, the boxes 3 that hold the cigarettes 6 are raised and lowered together with the opening and closing of the lid 2. Accordingly, the cigarettes 6 are raised and lowered simply by opening and closing the lid 2, in other words, without performing separate operations for raising and lowering, and therefore, cigarettes 6 can be conveniently removed from the package 101. The package 101 in accordance with an embodiment includes a reed element 5, so that the strength is improved compared to By packing, which raises together with the opening and closing of the lid, and it is possible to stably raise and lower the boxes 3. In a configuration in which the lids and the rising and lowering part are simply connected to each other, and the rising and lowering part rises and falls, the load is concentrated in the part where the lid is connected to the rising and lowering part, and in the package 101 in accordance with the first embodiment, the reed element 5 helps to raise and lower, so that the load redelyaetsya. As a result, the strength and possibly stable raising and lowering of the boxes 3 are improved. In addition, the length of the tongue 5 and the position of the collapsible part 41 of the connecting plate are adjustable, so that the range of movement when raising and lowering can be adjusted, and the range of movement when raising and lowering can be increased in comparison with, for example, the range of movement in conventional packaging.

[0077] In the package 101 according to the first embodiment, the boxes 3 are divided row by row, and small elements 9 are additionally provided in the boxes 3. Thus, the movement of cigarettes 6 can be prevented even when the number of cigarettes 6 is reduced. As a result, in the package 101 according to the first embodiment, even when the number of cigarettes 6 decreases, the cigarettes 6 are unlikely to tilt, and therefore it is unlikely that a situation will arise in which the cigarettes 6 are difficult to remove. That is, in the package 101 in accordance with the first embodiment of the box 3, which contains the cigarettes 6, rise and fall row by row, and the range of movement of the cigarettes 6 placed in the boxes 3 is reduced, and accordingly it is possible to conveniently remove the cigarettes 6 from the package 101 regardless of the number of cigarettes 6.

[0078] << Second embodiment >>

For example, as shown in FIG. 11, in the package 100a according to the second embodiment, the boxes 3a rise and fall row after row together with the opening and closing of the lid 2a. In addition, the spaces between the boxes 3a are formed by connecting parts 8a that connect the boxes 3a. As a result, not only cigarettes 6 rise row by row, but also gaps form in the front to back direction. Accordingly, cigarettes 6 are more conveniently gripped and conveniently removed from the package 100a.

[0079] As shown in FIGS. 8A-8D, FIGS. 9A-9C, and others, the package 100a according to the second embodiment is a so-called box package with a hinged lid having the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. The package 100a mainly includes a package body 1a serving as a housing part, a cover 2a serving as a closure part that is pivotally connected to the package body 1a by a first hinge H1, boxes 3a serving as lifting and lowering parts that rise and together with the opening and closing of the lid 2a, the connecting plate 4a serving as the connecting part, which is connected to the lid 2a and the boxes 3a, and the reed element 5a serving as auxiliary tion details, which helps implement the raising and lowering of the connecting plate 4a. The package 100a in accordance with the second embodiment may be made, for example, of paper material or polymer, but the material of the package 100a is not limited to these materials.

[0080] << Packaging body >>

The package body 1a contains cigarettes 6 and is a box-shaped case having a shape in which the upper end side, having the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, is obliquely cut and the front side is substantially open. The package body 1a comprises a front wall 11a of the package body, a rear wall 12a of the package body, side walls 13a of the package body and a lower wall 14a of the package body. The back wall 12a of the package body has an elongated rectangular shape. On the other hand, the front wall 11a of the package body is configured so that its height is less than the height of the rear wall 12a of the package body. The front wall 11a of the package body and the rear wall 12a of the package body are facing each other. The side walls 13a of the package body are connected to both the side edges of the front wall 11a of the package body and the side edges of the rear wall 12a of the package body, and each has a shape in which the upper end of the rectangle is a curved inclined side. The upper edges 131a of the side walls 13a of the package body are inclined so that the sides adjacent to the front wall 11a of the package body are omitted. The bottom wall 14a of the package body is rectangular and connected to the lower end edges of the front wall 11a of the package body, the rear wall 12a of the package body and the side walls 13a of the package body. The back wall 12a of the package body is made with a first hinge H1, a reed element 5a, a second hinge H2 and slots 7a.

[0081] The first hinge H1 is formed at the boundary between the back wall 12a of the package body and the back wall 22a of the lid, passes through the rear, functions as one of the pivot axes of the lid 2a, and allows the third hinge H3 to retract when the lid 2a is opened and closed.

[0082] The tongue element 5a is formed from the center region of the first hinge H1 to the lower side. The reed element 5a is formed by cutting out the back wall 12a of the package body in the center region of the first hinge H1 in a U-shape. The reed element 5a is a continuation of the back wall 22a of the lid and rotates together with the opening and closing of the lid 2a, and the tip rises and falls. In addition, the reed element 5a comprises an inner surface that is in contact with the outer surface of the connecting plate 4a. Thus, when the reed element 5a is rotated together with the opening and closing of the lid 2a, the connecting plate 4a in contact with the reed element 5a rises and falls with the movement of the reed element 5a. The reed element 5a of this embodiment comprises a curved lower end edge. However, the shape of the reed element 5a is not particularly limited and may be, for example, rectangular.

[0083] The second hinge H2 is formed on the lower side relative to the first hinge H1 and the reed element 5a in the rear wall 12a of the package body and extends through the rear. The second hinge H2 functions as one of the pivot axes of the lid 2a and allows the first hinge H1 and the third hinge H3 to retract when the lid 2a is opened and closed.

[0084] Slots 7a are formed in the corner portions formed between the back wall 12a of the package body and the side walls 13 of the package body, and the corner portions formed between the back wall 22a of the cover and the side walls 23a of the cover, and are formed from the third hinge H3 to the second hinge H2 . Slots 7a allow the first hinge H1 and the third hinge H3 to retreat back together with the first hinge H1 and the second hinge H2 when the lid 2a is opened and closed. In addition, the slots 7a perform the function of further increasing the opening of the lid 2a. A second hinge H2 may not be provided, and only slots may be provided. In this case, when the lid 2a is opened and closed, the function of retreating the first hinge H1 and the third hinge H3 backward deteriorates compared to the case where the second hinge H2 is provided, however, it is easier to assemble the package.

[0085] In the package body 1a, made as described above, the cover 2a is pivotally (rotatably) connected (connected) to the upper end edge of the rear wall 12a of the package body by a first hinge H1.

[0086] << Cover >>

The lid 2a covers the opening of the package body 1a. The lid 2a has a box shape including a rectangular rear lid wall 22a connected to the first hinge H1, a upper lid wall 24a, a group of rectangular lateral lid walls 23a, a front lid wall 20a, and a lower lid wall 26a. The rear wall of the lid 22a faces the front wall of the lid 20a, but its area is much smaller than the area of the front wall of the lid 20a. Thus, the lid 2a has a box shape in which most of the area on the rear side is open (the entire region except the rear wall 22a of the lid is open). In the side walls 23a of the lid, operative parts 27a are formed for opening the lid 2a when the lid 2a is opened and closed, each cut in a semicircle shape. When the lid 2a is in the open position, the cigarettes 6 are freely stacked and removed from the opening of the package body 1a (from the upper side and the front side). On the other hand, when the lid is in the closed position, the lid 2a is closed so as to cover a portion other than the rear wall of the package body 1a, including the opening of the package body 1a.

[0087] A third hinge H3 is formed at a boundary between the top wall of the lid 24a and the rear wall of the lid 22a (corner portion in the closed position). A third hinge H3 is formed at the upper end edge of the rear wall 22a of the cover and extends through the rear. The third hinge H3 functions as one of the rotation axes of the cover 2a.

[0088] << The connecting plate >>

A connecting plate 4a connects the lid 2a to the boxes 3a and raises and lowers the boxes 3a together with the opening and closing of the cover 2a. The connecting plate 4a is formed from a rectangular plate and comprises a first end connected to the back wall 22a of the lid and the inner surface of the upper wall 24a, and the second end, which is a continuation of the rear wall 312a of the rear box 33a of the boxes 3a. In addition, the connecting plate 4a is made with a linear folding part 41a extending in the transverse direction on the upper side relative to the center in the direction from top to bottom. More specifically, the collapsible part 41a is formed in such a position as to align with the lower end edge (end edge) of the reed element 5a. When the cover 2a is in the closed position, the collapsible part 41a of the connecting plate 4a has a flat shape. On the other hand, when the cover 2a is in the open position, the collapsible part 41a of the connecting plate 4a is bent so that the cover 2a falls back. The position of the collapsible part 41a and the length of the reed element 5a are adjustable, so that the amount of raising of the boxes 3a can be changed accordingly. In the case where the connecting plate 4a is made of a flexible member, the connecting plate 4a may bend. In this case, the collapsible part 41a may not be used. In the case where the connecting plate 4 a is made of a flexible element, the lifting amounts of the boxes 3 a can be appropriately changed by only adjusting the length of the reed element 5 a.

[0089] << Box >>

As shown in particular in FIGS. 9A-9F, the boxes 3a are composed of a front box 31a, a middle box 32a and a rear box 33a, and the boxes 32 are extensions of one another from front to back by means of connecting parts 8a. Each box 3a places the cigarettes 6 in a row so that the cigarettes 6 extend laterally and rise and fall together with the opening and closing of the lid 2a.

[0090] The front box 31a is located on a side adjacent to the front wall 11a of the package body and places seven cigarettes in a row. The back box 33a is located on the side adjacent to the back wall 12a of the package body and places seven cigarettes in a row, like the front box 31a. The middle box 32a is located between the front box 31a and the back box 33a and places six cigarettes in a row. Each box 3a comprises a box front wall 311a, box back wall 312, box side walls 313a, and box bottom wall 314a. The front wall 311 and the rear wall 312a of each box have an elongated rectangular shape and face each other. In each box 3a, the height of the back wall 312a of the box is greater than the height of the front wall 311a of the box. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 9B and 9C, the height of the back wall 312a of the box is greater than the height of the front wall 311a of the box by an amount corresponding to the height of the second connecting part 82a or the third connecting part 83a. The rear wall 312a of the rear box 33a is a continuation of the connecting plate 4a and has the same height as the rear wall 312a of the front box 31a or the middle box 32a, although the border with the connecting plate 4a is not visible. The side walls 313a of each box have an elongated rectangular shape and each is connected both to the side edges of the front wall 311a of the box and to the side edges of the back wall 312a of the box. The bottom wall 314a of each box is rectangular in shape and is connected to the lower end edge of the box front wall 311a, the lower end edge of the box back wall 312a, and the lower end edges of the box side walls 313a. The connecting plate 4a, which extends upward and is integral with the rear wall, is a continuation of the rear wall 312a of the rear box 33a. In addition, the first connecting part 81a, made in one piece with the front wall, is a continuation of the front wall 311a of the front box 31a.

[0091] The connecting pieces 8a include a first connecting piece 81a that connects the front wall 11a of the package body to the front box 31a, a second connecting piece 82a that connects the front box 31a to the middle box 32a, and a third connecting piece 83a that connects the middle box 32a with back box 33a. The first connecting part 81a is a rectangular plate connected to the upper end edge of the front wall 311a of the front box 31a and is a continuation of the front wall 11a of the package body. In the first connecting part 81a, a collapsible part 811a extending in the transverse direction is formed in the center region in a downward direction. Folding part 811a is located higher than the upper edge of the front wall 11a, so that the front box 31a is able to fall forward. The connecting portion 812a under this collapsible part 811a is connected to the inner surface of the front wall 11a of the package body. On the other hand, the non-connecting portion 813a located on the upper side relative to the folding part 811a comprises an upper end edge that is a continuation of the upper end edge of the front wall 311a of the front box 31a. The second connecting part 82a is formed from a long and narrow plate and is a continuation of the upper end edge of the rear wall of the front box 31a and the upper end edge of the front wall 311a of the middle box 32a. The third connecting part 83a is formed from a long and narrow plate like the second connecting part 82a and is a continuation of the upper end edge of the rear wall 312a of the middle box 32a and the upper end edge of the front wall 311a of the rear box 33a.

[0092] As shown in FIG. 9B, in a state where the connecting parts 8a (the first connecting part 81a, the second connecting part 82a, the third connecting part 83a) are completely bent, the first connecting part 81a is wrapped around the front wall 311a of the front box 31, the second the connecting part 82a is wrapped in the rear wall 312a of the front box 31a, and the third connecting part 83a is wrapped in the rear wall 312a of the middle box 32a. The height of the back wall 312a of the box is greater than the height of the front wall 311a of the box by an amount corresponding to the height of the second connecting part 82a or the third connecting part 83a. Thus, in the state where the connecting parts 8a are completely bent, the respective boxes approach each other and are located at the same height.

[0093] As shown in FIG. 9C, in a state where the second connecting part 82a and the third connecting part 83a are deployed, the second connecting part 82a and the third connecting part 83a are in a substantially horizontal position. As a result, gaps are formed between the respective boxes 3a corresponding to the height of the second connecting part 82a or the third connecting part 83a.

[0094] As shown in FIG. 9D-FIG. 9E, in addition to FIG. 9B and FIG. 9C, in the front wall 311a of each box on the side next to one of the side walls 313a of the box (left, viewed from the front), a small element 9a for controlling the movement of cigarettes 6. This small element 9a has a length that is approximately equal to half the length in the transverse direction of the front wall 311a of the box, and protrudes inside the box. A small element 9a is formed by cutting out the front wall 311a of the box in an elongated U-shape. The small element 9a is made with a bent portion 91a extending in the transverse direction. The small element 9a is bent inward with the bent portion 91a as a support and functions as an elastic element. A small element 9a compresses the cigarettes 6 placed in the box 3a so that the movement of the cigarettes 6 is adjustable. In addition, in the back wall 312a of each box, a similar small element 9a is formed on the side next to the other side wall 313a of the box (right, seen from the front). Small elements 9a in each box are divided into a front wall 311a of the box and a back wall 312a of the box, and each extends in a length that is approximately equal to half the transverse length. Thus, the strength of the boxes 3a can be improved compared to the case when a small element 9a extends from the first end to the second end in the transverse direction of each box 3a only in the front wall 311a of the box or only in the rear wall 312 of the box.

[0095] << Harvesting >>

The package 100a can be formed by folding and joining the corresponding sections of the first blank B1a, which forms the package body 1a and the lid 2a of the package, and the corresponding sections of the second blank B2a, which forms the connecting plate 4a and the box 3a. Fig. 10A shows a first blank B1a, and Fig. 10B shows a second blank B2a. As the first blank B1a and the second blank B2a, paper materials, such as cardboard and manila cardboard, or a polymer, such as a plastic sheet, can be used, but the materials are not limited to these materials. The preforms will be described based on the direction from top to bottom in the drawings.

[0096] << First blank B1a >>

As shown in FIG. 10A, the first blank B1a comprises a housing region R1a that turns into a packaging housing 1a, and a lid region R2a that turns into a lid 2a. The housing region R1a comprises a front wall panel P1a that turns into a front wall 11a of the package body, and corresponding side wall panels P2a, P2a that turn into side walls 13a of the packaging body and are extensions of both side edges of the front wall panel P1a.

[0097] The panel P3a of the lower wall (lower plate) of the housing, which turns into the lower wall 14a of the package housing, is a continuation of the upper edge of the panel P1a of the front wall of the housing. A portion R formed from a plurality of fold lines for forming R is formed between the panel P1a of the front wall of the housing and the panel P3a of the lower wall of the housing. The panel P4a of the rear wall of the casing, which is located on the opposite side relative to the panel P1a of the front wall of the casing and turns into the rear wall 12a of the package casing, is an extension of the panel P3a of the lower wall of the casing. The corresponding inner case side flaps P5a, P5a, which turn into the side walls 13a of the package body, are extensions of both side edges of the rear wall panel P4a. The inner lower flaps P6a are extensions of the lower edges of the inner side flaps P5a, P5a of the casing, and these inner lower flaps P6a of the casing overlap with the panel P3a of the lower casing wall and reinforce the lower wall 14a of the packaging casing. The panel P4a of the rear wall of the housing is made with a line L2a of the second hinge, which turns into a second hinge H2, and a line L1a of the first hinge, which turns into the first hinge H1. Linear sections C1a, which extend from the third hinge line L3a to the second hinge line L2a of the rear panel panel P7a and turn into slits 7a, are formed at both side edges of the rear panel panel P4a. In addition, the panel P4a of the rear wall of the housing is made with a U-shaped cutout C2a, which forms the reed element 5a.

[0098] The lid region R2a comprises a lid back wall panel P7a that turns into a lid back wall 22a. The panel P8a of the top wall of the lid, which turns into the upper wall 24a of the lid, is a continuation of the upper edge of the panel P7a of the back wall of the lid by the line L3a of the third hinge, which turns into the third hinge H3. The corresponding inner side flap flaps P9a, P9a, which turn into part of the side flap walls 23a, are extensions of both side edges of the top flap panel P8a. The panel P10a of the front wall of the cover, which turns into the front wall 20a of the cover, is a continuation of the upper edge of the panel P8a of the upper wall of the cover. In addition, the corresponding panel P11a of the side walls of the cover, which turn into the side walls 23a of the cover, are extensions of both side edges of the panel P10a of the front wall of the cover. Panels P11a of the side walls of the lid are made with circular cuts C5a, which turn into operational parts 27a. Panels P11a of the side walls of the lid are bent backward along the fold lines extending in the direction from top to bottom in the region of the centers in the transverse direction (circle centers) and hold the inner side flaps P9a of the lid and the internal side flaps P13a of the lid, thereby forming side walls 23a covers.

[0099] In addition, the panel P12a of the bottom wall of the cover, which turns into the lower wall 26a of the cover, is a continuation of the upper edge of the panel P10a of the front wall of the cover. A portion R formed from a plurality of fold lines for forming R is formed between a panel P10a of the front wall of the lid and a panel P12a of the lower wall of the lid. The corresponding internal side flap flaps P13a are extensions of both side edges of the flap lower wall panel P12a. The inner lower flap flap P14a, which is folded back to reinforce the lower flap wall 26a, is a continuation of the upper edge of the lower flap wall panel P12a.

[0100] << The second blank B2a >>

As shown in FIG. 10B, the second preform B2a comprises portions R3a-1, R3a-2, R3a-3, which turn into connecting parts 8a, portions R4a-1, R4a-2, R4a-3, which turn into boxes 3a, and a connecting portion R5a, which turns into a connecting plate 4a. In these sections, the connecting section R3a-1, the section R4a-1 of the box, the connecting section R3a-2, the section R4a-2 of the box, the connecting section R3a-3, the section R4a-3 of the box and the connecting section R5a continue in order.

[0101] The connecting portion R3a-1 comprises a first connecting panel P21a, which is converted into a first connecting part 81a. The first connection panel P21a has an elongated rectangular shape and is made with a fold line that extends laterally in the center region in the direction from top to bottom and turns into a folding part 811a. A portion on the lower side relative to this fold line is connected to the inner surface of the front wall 11a of the package body, and the edge of the portion on the upper side relative to the fold line is a continuation of the upper end edge of the front wall 311a of the front box 31a.

[0102] The connecting portions R3a-2 and R3a-3 comprise second connecting panels P22a, P22a, which turn into a second connecting part 82a and a third connecting part 83a.

[0103] the Regions R4a-1, R4a-2, R4a-3 of the boxes each contains a panel P25 of the front wall of the box, which turns into the front wall 311a of the box. Panel P25a of the front wall of the box is made with cuts C4a, which turn into small elements 9a. Panels P26a, P26a of the side walls of the box, which turn into the side walls 313a of the box, are extensions of both side edges of the panel P25a of the front wall of the box. Panel P27a of the lower wall of the box, which turns into the lower wall 314a of the box, is a continuation of the upper edge of the panel P25a of the front wall of the box. Panel P28a of the back wall of the box, which turns into the rear wall 312a of the box, is a continuation of the upper edge of the panel P27a of the bottom wall of the box. This panel P28a of the back wall of the box is made with cuts C4a, which turn into small elements 9a. The inner side flaps P29a, P29a of the box, which reinforce the side walls of the box 312a, are extensions of both side edges of the panel of the back wall P28a of the box. The inner lower flaps P30a of the box are extensions of the lower edges of the inner side flaps P29a, P29a of the box, and these internal lower flaps P30a of the box overlap with the panel P27a of the lower wall of the box, thereby reinforcing the lower wall 314a of the box.

[0104] The connecting portion R5a comprises a connecting panel P31a, which is converted into a connecting plate 4a. The connection panel P31a is made with a line L4a, which turns into a linear folding part 41a.

[0105] Said first preform B1a is folded along the crease lines shown by dashed lines in FIG. 10A. The result is a package 100a including a package body 1a and a cover 2a shown in FIGS. 8A-8D and FIG. 9. In the body region R1a of the first preform B1a, the first preform B1a is folded along the fold lines and the inner lower flaps of the casing P6a are applied to the panel P3a of the lower wall of the casing, and the inner side flaps P5a of the casing are glued to the panels P2a of the side walls of the casing, thereby forming the packaging casing 1a.

[0106] On the other hand, in the cover region R2a of the first preform B1a, the first preform B1a is folded along the fold lines, the inner side flap flaps P9a and the inner side flap flaps P13a are glued, and the inner lower flap flap P14a is applied on the panel P12a of the bottom wall of the lid, thereby forming a lid 2a.

[0107] The specified second preform B2a is folded along the crease lines shown by dashed lines in Fig. 10B. The result is boxes 3a, connecting parts 8a, and connecting plate 4a shown in FIGS. 9A-9F. In the connecting portions R3a-1, R3a-2, R3a-3 of the second preform B2a, the second preform B2a is folded along the fold lines, thereby forming the connecting parts 8a (first connecting part 81a, second connecting part 82a, third connecting part 83a). In sections R4a-1, R4a-2, R4a-3 of the boxes of the second blank B2a, the inner bottom flaps P30a of the boxes are superimposed on the panel P27a of the lower walls of the boxes, and the inner side valves 29a of the boxes are glued to the panels P26a of the side walls of the boxes, thereby forming boxes 3a .

[0108] For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, the upper part of the connecting plate 4a is glued to the lid 2a, and the front connecting part 811a of the first connecting part 81a is connected to the panel 11a of the front wall of the package body, thereby forming a package 100a.

[0109] << Opening and closing operation >>

An operation to open and close the lid 2a in the package 100a will be described below. The operation described below is carried out in conjunction with the opening and closing of the lid 2a. 11 to 14 show the open and closed states of the package 100a when viewed from different directions. Figa and Figv are diagrams explaining the principle of operation of the package in accordance with the first embodiment.

[0110] When the lid 2a is in the closed position, the lid 2a covers surfaces other than the surface on the rear side of the package body 1a. In the case where the cigarettes 6 located in the package 100a do not need to be removed, the package 100a is usually in a closed state. In the closed state, the lower wall of the lid 26a and the lower wall of the package body 1a are in direct contact with each other, and the opening and closing of the lid 2a is adjustable.

[0111] In the case where the cigarettes 6 located in the package 100a are removed, the lid 2a is brought into the open position. Specifically, the state of direct contact of the bottom wall 26a of the lid with the bottom wall 14a of the package body is released, and the lid 2a starts to rotate (FIG. 11 (b), FIG. 12 (b), FIG. 13 (b), FIG. 14 (b) Fig. 15A (b)). The package 100a includes a first hinge H1, a second hinge H2 and a third hinge H3, and the lid 2a starts to rotate around the first hinge H1, the second hinge H2 and the third hinge H3. For example, as shown in FIG. 15A (b), at the initial stage of rotation, the cover 2a rotates mainly around the third hinge H3. The reed element 5a starts to rotate around the first hinge H1 together with the lid 2a. In this case, the reed element 5a raises the connecting plate 4a, while at the same time pushing the connecting plate 4a forward. When the cover 2a is in the open position, the force acts from the rear side, and therefore the third hinge H3 gradually moves back together with the rotation of the cover 2a.

[0112] As shown in Fig. 11 (c), Fig. 12 (c), Fig. 13 (c), Fig. 14 (c), Fig. 15B (c) (in particular, Fig. 15B (c) ), in the intermediate rotation step, together with the rotation of the cover 2a, the connecting plate 4a is gradually pulled up to rise. In addition, the reed element 5a further rotates around the first hinge H1 together with the lid 2a. In this case, the reed element 5a further raises the connecting plate 4a, while advancing the connecting plate 4a forward. As a result of the reaction to the forward movement of the connecting plate 4a forward by the reed element 5a, the hinge H1 moves backward. In addition, the third hinge H3 additionally moves back. The connecting plate 4a is pulled upward by the cover 2a and advanced upward by the reed element 5a. As a result, the connecting plate 4a is further raised together with the cover 4a. As a result, the rear box 33a, the middle box 32a and the front box 31a rise. When the connecting plate 4a rises, the rear box 33a rises, and the third connecting part 83a, which connects the rear box 33a to the middle box 32a, comes into a horizontal position or a position close to horizontal. When the rear box 33a rises, the middle box 32a also rises. When the middle box 32a rises, the second connecting part 82a, which connects the middle box 32a to the front box 31a, comes into a horizontal position or a position close to horizontal. In the boxes 3a, when the movement in the transverse direction and the front to back direction is fully adjustable, the gaps between the boxes 4a cannot be widened. However, in the package 100a, the front wall 11a of the package body is configured so that its height is less than the height of the rear wall 12a of the package body. Specifically, the height of the front wall 11a of the package body is approximately half the height of each box 3a. Thus, the movement in the front to back direction in the lower parts of the boxes 3a is adjustable, but it is allowed to move in the front to back direction in the upper parts. In the high positions of the second connecting part 82a and the third connecting part 83a, the front wall 11a of the package body is absent, and the boxes 3a can be moved from front to back. As a result, the second connecting part 82a and the third connecting part 83a come into horizontal positions or close to horizontal positions. On the other hand, in the lower parts of the boxes 3a, the movement in the front to back direction is adjustable, as described above, and therefore the gaps between the boxes 3a are narrow in the lower sides and gradually expand upward.

[0113] As shown in Fig. 11 (d), Fig. 12 (d), Fig. 13 (d), Fig. 14 (d), Fig. 15B (d) (in particular, Fig. 15B (d) ), at the final stage of rotation, the cover 2a does not rotate around the second hinge H2, but around the first hinge H1. The connecting plate 4a is additionally raised together with the rotation of the cover 2a. The tongue element 5a further rotates around the first hinge H1 together with the lid 2a. In this case, the reed element 5a raises the connecting plate 4a, while at the same time pushing the connecting plate 4a forward. When the reed element 5a extends beyond the horizontal line, the reaction force to the forward force of the connecting plate 4a is gradually weakened, and the downward force added to open the cover 2a is converted to the lifting force of the connecting plate 4a using the first hinge H1 as the axis of rotation . The connecting plate 4a is pulled upward by the cover 2a and further advanced upwardly by the reed element 5a. As a result, the rear box 33a, the middle box 32a and the front box 31a are further raised. The rear box 33a rises above all, while the middle box 32a rises high, and the front box 31a rises high. The rear box 33a, the middle box 32a and the front box 31a are further raised, so that the force for controlling movement in the front to back direction in the upper parts of the boxes 3a is further weakened, and the gaps between the boxes 3a are further widened. On the other hand. In the lower parts of the boxes 3a, the movement in the front to back direction is adjustable as described above. As a result, the gaps between the boxes 3a are still narrow in the lower sides and gradually expand upward. As a result, cigarettes 6, placed in boxes 3a, dissolve in the form of a fan in a side view.

[0114] << Effects >>

In the package 100a in accordance with the first embodiment, the boxes 3a that place the cigarettes 6 are raised and lowered together with the opening and closing of the lid 2a. Thus, the cigarettes 6 are lifted and lowered simply by opening and closing the lid 2a, in other words, without separately performing operations for raising and lowering, and accordingly, the cigarettes 6 can be conveniently removed from the package 100a. The package 100a in accordance with this embodiment includes a reed element 5a, so that the strength is improved compared to a conventional package that rises with the opening and closing of the lid, and the boxes 3a can be stably raised and lowered. The length of the tongue element 5a and the position of the folding part 41a of the connecting plate are adjustable, so that the range of movement when raising and lowering can be adjusted, and the range of movement when raising and lowering can be increased, for example, compared to the range of movement in conventional packaging. In addition, in the package 100a, not only the boxes 3a are raised and lowered, but gaps between the boxes 3a can also be formed by means of the connecting parts 8a that connect the boxes 3a. As a result, cigarettes 6 can not only rise, but also have gaps in the front to back direction. Thus, cigarettes 6 can more conveniently be caught and conveniently removed from the package 100a. In addition, in the package 100a of the box 3a, row after row are divided, and in the boxes 3a, small elements 9a are additionally provided. Thus, the movement of cigarettes 6 can be prevented even when the number of cigarettes 6 is reduced. As a result, even when the number of cigarettes 6 is reduced, the cigarettes 6 are tilted, so that it is unlikely that a situation will arise in which the cigarettes 6 are difficult to remove. The upper edges of the boxes 3a are connected to each other so that it is possible to adjust the expansion from front to back of the boxes. As a result, the appearance can be further improved when the boxes 3a are opened in a fan-shaped side view.

[0115] << 1st modification >>

In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, boxes are described as an example of a rising and falling part. The rising and lowering part is not limited to this aspect and can be formed by means of an inclined surface in which, when raised, the rear side becomes higher. 16 shows a package 103 in accordance with the 1st modification. The package in accordance with the 1st modification contains a rising and lowering plate 3b instead of boxes 3. The rising and lowering plate 3b is raised and lowered together with the rotation of the lid 2. When the lid 2 is in the closed position, the rising and lowering plate 3b is horizontal and contact with the bottom wall 14 of the packaging body. On the other hand, when the lid 2 is in the open position, the rear side of the rising and lowering plate 3b rises, so that the rising and lowering plate 3b tilts. Thus, in cigarettes 6 located on the rising and lowering plate 3b, cigarettes 6 located in front are higher than cigarettes 6 located in the back. As a result, cigarettes 6 can be conveniently removed from the package 103.

[0116] << 2nd modification >>

In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, as an example of the reed element, an aspect is described in which the reed element is formed directed downward from a center region of the first hinge H1. The reed element is not limited to this aspect and can be formed, for example, directed downward from the areas of both ends of the first hinge H1. Fig.17 is a perspective view of the packaging in accordance with the 2nd modification, when viewed from the rear. In the package 104, in accordance with the 2nd modification, the reed element 5c is provided in two places in the region of the end of the first hinge H1.

[0117] << Other modifications >>

The number of boxes 3 or boxes 3a is not necessarily equal to three and may be, for example, two or four or more. The number of cigarettes to be placed in, for example, boxes 33a is not particularly limited. That is, the lengths in the transverse direction of the boxes 3, 3a are less than the lengths in the transverse direction of the boxes of the first embodiment or the second embodiment, so that cigarettes can be placed, the number of which is less than the number of cigarettes of the first embodiment or the second embodiment. The lengths in the transverse direction of the boxes 3, 3a are greater than the lengths in the transverse direction of the boxes of the first embodiment or the second embodiment, so that cigarettes can be placed, the number of which is greater than the number of cigarettes of the first embodiment or the second embodiment.

[0118] Thus, although preferred embodiments of the invention have been described, a hinged-lid package of the invention can be implemented by a variety of combinations of respective embodiments. In this embodiment, tobacco products, such as filter cigarettes and non-filter cigarettes, are shown as a preferred example of an item to be placed that is packaged with a hinged lid. However, items to be placed are not limited to these items, and other products besides tobacco products may be placed in the package.
