- packets 1 as described above, such as replacing the convex with partly convex walls, or forming only one as opposed to two opposite facing convex walls .
- longitudinal edges 10 of container 4 and longitudinal edges 18 of container 2 are square edges, and the major transverse edges 12 of container 4 and the major transverse edges 19 of container 2 are rounded non-square edges.
- the major transverse edges 12 of container 4 and the major transverse edges 19 of container 2 may, of course, be bevelled non-square edges.
- the Figure 12 embodiment recalls the cigarette packet described in Patent Application EP-A1-0764595, which is substantially parallelepiped-shaped and comprises at least one bevelled transverse edge.
- each major lateral wall 8 of container 4 has a recess close to open end 11; which recesses provide for assisting extraction of container 2 from container 4 as of the closed position, by enabling the user to grip and exert pull on major lateral walls 16 of container 2, as well as for exposing part of major lateral walls 16 of container 2 when container 2 is in said closed position.
- cigarette packets 1 as described above reduce wear of clothing item fabrics with which packets 1 come into contact in use, while the anatomical shape of the packets provides for easy handling by the user. Moreover, cigarette packets 1 as described above call for less packing material than equivalent square-edged packets .
- packets 1 may also be applied completely to the manufacture of other types of rigid containers for tobacco articles, such as cartons of packets of cigarettes, or cigar packets.
