Definitions

  • the invention relates to packets for smoke articles, such as cigars or cigarettes, and in particular it relates to a stiff packet and a corresponding blank from which it is possible to make said packet .
  • Stiff packets for cigarettes with a hinged lid are known, so-called ⁇ hinge-lid" packets, which are particularly appreciated by smokers for their great stiffness, which prevents damage to the cigarettes even when the packet is subjected to blows or kept in a pocket or a bag of a consumer .
  • These packets comprise a stiff outer shell or enclosure inside which an internal enclosure with a group of wrapped cigarettes is inserted, which are typically wrapped in a metallic sheet.
  • the outer stiff enclosure which ' is made by folding from a suitable blank made of sheet material, such as card, cardboard, paper or the like, comprises a containing body and a hinged lid. The latter is joined to the containing body by a folded line, that acts as a hinge, made on a wall of the packet .
  • Traditional stiff packets which are entirely formable by folding a single blank, in fact have a parallelpipedon shape, with flat walls, separated by right-angled corners or bevelled or rounded corners .
  • the parallelpipedon shape gives the packet stability and robustness and ensures that the packet closes completely, preventing the product escaping to the exterior.
  • EP 0414532 discloses a stiff packet with a hinged lid that is provided with an outer enclosure in which a front flat wall and a rear flat wall, that are parallel to and opposite one another are connected by curved side walls.
  • the lid is hinged on a rear face of the body of the outer enclosure.
  • the latter is made with a tubular shape that suitably wraps two layers of superimposed and glued sheet material obtained from respective blanks around a shaped shaft.
  • the packet is then completed by gluing closing elements or caps to base and top portions of the tubular outer enclosure.
  • US 4923059 shows a stiff packet with a hinged lid that has an oval cross section, i.e. comprising an outer enclosure including curved walls.
  • the outer enclosure comprises a body formed by an internal sleeve inserted inside an external sleeve, on which the lid is hinged.
  • a base portion of the body and a top portion of the lid of the packet are closed by respective caps or lids, glued on an internal surface of the external sleeve.
  • the caps prevent the product from escaping and maintain the packet stable in the desired curved shape.
  • US 5183523 shows a method and an apparatus for ultrasound welding of closing caps for closing containers for foodstuffs or tobacco comprising an oval cardboard pipe that is open at the ends. Adhesive material is applied to internal surfaces of said ends that enables the caps to be fixed stably.
  • a further drawback of the aforesaid hinged-lid packets consists of the fact that they are made using two layers of superimposed and glued sheet material in order to obtain a suitably stiff and stable shape. Such packets are therefore more expensive to produce than traditional packets.
  • An object of the invention is to improve packets, in particular for smoke articles, such as cigarettes, and the blanks that are usable for making such packets .
  • Another object is to make a stiff packet having great aesthetic appeal comprising ample curved walls, that can easily be produced on traditional packaging machines with substantially conventional productive processes.
  • a further object is to obtain a packet having a stiff outer enclosure comprising curved walls, that is robust and stable and ensures that the contents are contained correctly.
  • Still another object is to obtain a packet that is entirely formable by suitably folding a single blank.
  • a packet is provided, particularly a packet for smoke articles, comprising an outer enclosure including a containing body and a closing body that is rotatable around a hinge obtained on an external wall of said packet, said packet including closing elements associated with main wall means of said internal enclosure for closing a base portion and a top portion of said packet, characterised in that said outer enclosure further comprises a secondary base wall and a secondary top wall connected to said main wall means and arranged for wrapping said closing elements and locking the latter respectively on said base portion and on said top portion.
  • the secondary base wall and the secondary top wall are opposite one another and transverse, in particular substantially orthogonal, to the main wall means, in a closed configuration of said packet.
  • the main walls means comprise a front wall and a rear wall, that are opposite one another, and side walls interposed between and connecting said front wall and said rear wall.
  • the front wall and the rear wall are substantially flat and parallel, whilst the side walls are curved.
  • the outer enclosure comprises, in fact, a containing body and a lid body hinged as in traditional packets.
  • the closing elements can be easily inserted into the outer enclosure during the process of folding the blank, the closing elements being fixed to end edges of the main wall means by the secondary base wall and the secondary top wall.
  • Each closing element comprises a central portion arranged for abutting on the secondary base wall or the secondary top wall, said central portion being interposed between two end portions that are suitable for abutting on the end edges of the main wall means, in particular the side walls.
  • the closing element further comprises first seat means made on said end portions for receiving end edges of said main wall means and second seat means made on said central portion for receiving the secondary base wall or the secondary top wall .
  • a blank for producing a packet in particular a packet for smoke articles, comprising a first portion intended for forming a containing body of said packet, which portion is connected along an intended folded line to a second portion, intended for forming a closing body of said packet, said blank comprising:
  • first transverse panel and a second transverse panel arranged at opposite ends of said first central panel and intended for forming respectively a base wall and a top wall of said packet;
  • the side panels and the transverse panels further form on said blank respective recesses at which the side panels and the transverse panels are devoid of foldable appendages, such as flaps, tabs or the like.
  • the transverse panels are provided with a plurality of respected lines of intended transverse folding so as to form respectively a base wall and a top wall that are at least partially curved.
  • the side panels can be provided with a plurality of respective intended longitudinal folded lines so as to form curved side walls.
  • the blank provided for by the second aspect of the invention thus enables the packet to be produced easily according to the first aspect of the invention even on traditional machines, inasmuch as this blank has an external outline that is similar to that of traditional blanks.
