Definitions

  • the invention concerns a packaging assembly for articles to be packaged, as well as to a pack of such articles.
  • the packaging assembly of the invention is especially suited to the packaging of inhaler devices, such as electronic vapor delivery systems, electronic cigarettes, or "e-cigarettes " as they are also known.
  • the invention particularly also provides a pack of those articles.
  • the packaging assembly of the invention is not limited to this specific packaging application, but may be suited to, and employed for, a range of other articles.
  • Inhaler devices of the above types like personal vaporizers, e-cigarettes and electronic vapor delivery systems, have been proposed as alternatives to traditional smoking articles, such as cigarettes, cigarillos, cigars and the like. Although these inhaler devices are still relatively new in the market ⁇ place, some efforts have already been made to develop new and convenient packaging concepts for them.
  • One example of such a packaging concept is described in WO 2013/142671 Al .
  • the present invention is directed to the task of providing a new, convenient, and user-friendly packaging concept which is especially suited to inhaler devices, such as e-cigarettes or personal vaporizers.
  • a packaging assembly having the features as recited in claim 1 is provided.
  • a number of preferred and/or advantageous features of the invention are recited in the dependent claims.
  • the invention provides a packaging assembly for packaging one or more articles, which comprises :
  • a container having at least one inner compartment for receiving and accommodating an article and an opening for accessing the inner compartment;
  • a cover member mounted on the container and movable between a closed position in which it covers the opening to prevent access to the inner compartment, and an open position which permits access to the compartment via the opening; and a mechanism which is configured to move the cover member from the open position to the closed position upon insertion or introduction of an article into the inner compartment via the opening.
  • the invention provides a packaging assembly with a simple and convenient mechanism for closing the cover member to prevent access to the one or more articles in the at least one inner compartment of the container.
  • a user handles the packaging assembly and places or inserts an article into the inner compartment, it is not necessary for the user to additionally handle the cover member of the packaging assembly in order to close the container. Rather, merely by introducing or placing the article into the compartment, the user is able to close the cover member.
  • the mechanism of the packaging assembly is thus configured to close the cover member automatically.
  • the mechanism includes an actuating member that is activated by the article upon introduction of the article into the inner compartment.
  • the actuating member is preferably connected to the cover member and configured to transfer an impulse imparted by the article upon its introduction into the inner compartment to move the cover member to the closed position. Accordingly, the act of inserting the article into the container operates the closure mechanism.
  • the actuating member comprises an abutment member for engagement by the article upon insertion or introduction thereof into the compartment.
  • the actuating member is preferably arranged or provided in the compartment and may comprise a part of the container itself.
  • the container may include an inner part which defines or encloses the inner compartment and an outer part which at least partially encompasses the inner part.
  • the inner part of the container may thus comprise or form the actuating member such that introduction of the article moves the inner part relative to the outer part from one position to another position thereby to move the cover member from the open position to the closed position.
  • the article upon its insertion into the inner compartment, the article makes contact with, and imparts a force or an impulse to, the inner part of the container which, in turn, is connected to the cover member via the closure mechanism.
  • the mechanism transforms the movement of the inner container part relative to the outer container part into a movement of the cover member to the closed position.
  • the outer part of the container is movable relative to the inner part between a first position and a second position to move the cover member between the closed position and the open position.
  • the present invention can provide a packaging assembly with a simple and convenient mechanism for opening and closing the cover member to permit or prevent access to the one or more articles contained in the inner compartment.
  • the outer part of the container is configured to be grasped and/or held by a user.
  • the outer part may include a gripping portion, e.g. with one or more grip elements to promote a comfortable and secure handling of the outer part by a user.
  • the gripping portion e.g. having the one or more grip elements, may thus facilitate easier manual movement of the outer part relative to the inner part.
  • the gripping portion including any grip element (s) may, for example, have a contoured surface profile and/or may comprise a relatively soft or resilient synthetic material to enhance a user' s grip on the outer part.
  • the inner part of the container is configured to accommodate one or more elongate articles in the inner compartment.
  • the inner compartment is preferably configured to receive and hold one or more e- cigarette.
  • the inner part of the container may be configured and arranged in the packaging assembly, e.g. with respect to the outer part, such that a proffering or a presentation of the articles is performed or achieved by the opening of the cover member when the outer part is moved to the second position relative to the inner part.
  • the packaging assembly may not only provide a simple and convenient mechanism for opening and closing a pack of articles, but may also be configured to proffer or to present those articles to a user when the packaging is opened.
  • the inner part of the container is movable in translation or a sliding displacement relative to the outer part of the container from the said one position to the other position to move the cover member from the open position to the closed position via the mechanism.
  • the said one position may correspond to the second position of the outer part relative to the inner part, or vice versa, (i.e. with cover member in the open position)
  • said other position may correspond to the first position of the outer part relative to the inner part, or vice versa, (i.e. with the cover member is in the closed position) .
  • the outer part of the container preferably forms an upper portion of the packaging and the inner part of the container preferably forms a lower or base portion of the packaging.
  • the translational relative movement may thus be effected by applying downward pressure to the inner part with the article as it is inserted into the inner compartment.
  • the inner part may be configured for rotary or rotational movement relative to the outer part between the first and the second positions.
  • the outer container part is thus preferably configured for translational or sliding movement relative to the inner part between the first position and the second position. In this way, a user may grasp the outer part and slide, translate or displace that outer part relative to the inner part for movement between the first position and the second position.
  • the outer container part preferably forms an upper portion of the packaging and the inner container part preferably forms a lower or base portion of the packaging, whereby a translational relative movement may be effected by applying downward pressure to the outer part.
  • the outer container part may be configured for rotary or rotational movement relative to the inner container part between the first position and the second position.
  • the container includes a retainer means for inhibiting or preventing the one or more articles in the at least one inner compartment from inadvertently falling out of the container when the cover member is in the open position.
  • the retainer means may be arranged in the inner compartment and may be configured to contact the article and to impart a resistance to removal of the article therefrom, e.g. frictional resistance.
  • the retainer means may include fibers or hairs provided in the inner compartment for contacting the article and for providing a frictional resistance to movement of the article.
  • the retainer means may include jaw members that hold the article against unintended removal.
  • the packaging assembly includes a sealing element configured to form a substantially airtight closure or seal of an opening in the outer container part and/or of the inner compartment in the inner part in the closed position.
  • the sealing element may be provided on an inner face of the cover member.
  • the cover member may itself be provided in the form of a lid or cap, for example, at an upper end region of the packaging assembly.
  • the sealing element may be arranged at or around an edge or rim of the lid or cap for sealing against the outer part and/or inner part, when that lid or cap is in the closed position.
  • the sealing element may be provided (e.g. as a sealing gasket) on an upper rim or edge of the outer part and/or the inner part of the container.
  • the cover member is connected to the outer part of the container and is configured to move between the closed position and the open position when the outer part is respectively moved relative to the inner part between the first position and the second position. More particularly, the cover member may be pivotally connected to the outer part, e.g. via a hinge connection, for pivoting movement between the closed position and the open position when the outer part moves relative to the inner part between the first position and second position, respectively. In this regard, the cover member is pivotally connected to the outer part via an outer pivot axis.
  • the cover member is pivotally connected to the inner part, e.g. via a hinge connection, so that the cover member pivots between the closed and open positions relative to the inner part.
  • the cover member is thereby pivotally connected to the inner part via an inner pivot axis.
  • the cover member may thus be pivotally connected to both the inner part and the outer part.
  • the inner pivot axis is typically substantially parallel to, but laterally and/or inwardly offset from, the outer pivot axis.
  • one of the inner and outer pivot axes is preferably displaceable relative to the respective inner or outer part.
  • the inner container part forms an inner casing defining the at least one inner compartment to receive an article and the outer part forms an outer casing that at least partially surrounds, encompasses, or encloses the inner casing, e.g. in the manner of a sleeve.
  • the outer casing may thus be configured to be moved, i.e. to translate and/or to rotate, relative to the inner casing which receives and contains the article (s) .
  • either or both of the inner part and the outer part include (s) stop means which are configured to define the first and second positions and which serve to stop or limit movement of the outer part relative to the inner part between those first and second positions.
  • Each stop means typically comprises one or more abutment member, such as a projection or shoulder, which interact or inter- engage to prevent further relative movement at the first and second positions.
  • the packaging assembly may further include a biasing means, such as at least one spring member, which is configured and arranged to bias or to urge the outer part towards the first position relative to the inner part.
  • the biasing means preferably comprises a component of the mechanism for moving the cover member from the open position to the closed position upon insertion of an article into the compartment via the opening.
  • this bias or force e.g. spring bias
  • the packaging assembly may act or tend to return the outer part of the container to the first position.
  • the inner and outer parts include complementary latching means that are configured and arranged to engage and releasably interlock with each other when the outer part is moved to the second position relative to the inner part, thereby to hold the cover member in the open position.
  • the complementary latching means include at least one first latching element on an inner side or surface of the outer part and at least one second latching element respectively provided on an outer side or surface of the inner part.
  • the first and second latching elements of the complementary latching means are configured to engage and releasably interlock with each other when the outer part is moved to the second position and preferably also to disengage or release from each other when a predetermined pressure or traction force is exerted on the inner part, e.g.
  • the insertion of an article into the inner compartment may exert a force on the inner part of the container which, in turn, acts to disengage the complementary latching means and, under the action of the biasing means, to move the cover member from the open position to the closed position upon insertion of an article into the compartment via the opening.
  • a weight of the articles e.g. e-cigarettes
  • Each article or e-cigarette may have a mass in the range of 1 to 50 gram, more preferably in the range of 2 to 20 gram; e.g. about 5 gram.

  • the packaging assembly 100 of this embodiment is specifically designed for elongate cylindrical-shaped articles C, such as e-cigarettes.
  • the packaging assembly 100 comprises a container 1 having an inner part 2 in the form of an inner casing which includes three aligned tubular receptacles 3, each of which has a respective upper opening 3' and each of which defines an inner compartment 4 for receiving a respective one of the elongate articles C or e-cigarettes.
  • the container 1 of the packaging assembly 100 includes an outer part 5 in the form of an outer casing which substantially surrounds or encompasses an upper portion or upper region of the inner casing 2.
  • the outer casing 5 has a geometry that is similar to, but slightly larger than, that of the inner casing 2.
  • the outer casing 5 is configured to be mounted over an upper region of the inner casing 2 in the manner of a sleeve. That is, the inner casing 2 fits with a small amount of play within a cavity enclosed by the outer casing 5.
  • the inner casing 2 includes an end cap or bottom cap 6 designed to fit snugly over a lower end region of the inner casing 2 in a snap-fit via fastening clips 30, each of which respectively comprises a groove 31 (i.e. on front and rear outer sides of the inner casing 2) and a complementary tongue element 32 on opposite inner sides of the end cap 6.
  • the end cap 6 is fixed to the inner casing 2 and forms a base of the container 1 and of packaging assembly 100 as a whole.
  • the packaging assembly 100 includes a cover member 7 mounted on the container 1.
  • the cover member 7 is in the form of an oval-shaped lid which is pivotally connected via a hinge connection 8 to the outer casing 5.
  • This cover member or lid 7 is pivotable via this hinge connection 8 between a closed position shown in Fig. 1 to prevent access to the inner compartments 4 and thus to the articles C contained therein, and an open position as shown in Fig. 2 to permit access to the inner compartments 4 and to the e-cigarettes C they contain.
  • the hinge connection 8 of the packaging assembly 100 includes a hinge element 9 on the cover member or lid 7 which is received between and cooperates with complementary hinge elements 10 on a rear side of the outer casing 5.
  • a corresponding pin 11 is inserted through the respective hinge elements 9, 10 to define an outer pivot axis 0 for this hinge connection 8.
  • the inner casing 2 can be seen to have upstanding rod-like connecting elements 12, each of which includes at an upper end thereof a transverse slot 13 for receiving one respective end of a corresponding stud pin 14.
  • An opposite end of each stud pin 14 is inserted in a corresponding bore of additional hinge elements 15 provided on an inner side of the cover member or lid 7.
  • the lid 7 is pivotally connected not only to the outer casing 5 via the hinge connection 8 about the outer pivot axis 0, but also to the inner casing 2 at an upper end the connecting elements 12 via a second hinge connection 16 about an inner pivot axis X.
  • This double hinge connection is perhaps most clearly apparent from the cross-sectional views shown in Figs. 7(b) and 7(h).
  • the stud pins 14 permit pivoting about the inner pivot axis X and are also able to displace laterally within the horizontal slot-like recesses 13 in the connecting elements 12 thereby to permit the lid 7 to rotate to the open position about the outer pivot axis 0 in its hinge connection 8 with the outer casing 5.
  • the hinge connection 8 in this embodiment is formed projecting from a rear side of the outer casing 5, it will be noted that it could alternatively be set into the outer casing 5 in order to provide packaging assembly 100 with a smooth or flush rear surface.
  • the packaging assembly 100 includes a coil spring 18 which is mounted between the inner casing 2 and the outer casing 5 around a central one of the tubular receptacles 3 that define the inner compartments 4.
  • This coil spring 18 is configured to bias the outer casing 5 into the first position A, as shown in Fig. 6. Accordingly, when the outer casing 5 is grasped and moved downwardly by a user in the vertical direction relative to the inner casing 2 towards the second position B, that movement occurs against the urging force of the coil spring 18, which is gradually compressed by that movement (cf. Fig. 6(d) and Fig. 7(d)).
  • the packaging assembly 100 also includes stop elements 19, 20 in the form of projections or abutments which inter-engage to define limits to the movement of the outer casing 5 relative to the inner casing 2, and thus effectively define the first and second positions A, B.
  • the outer casing 5 includes an inwardly directed projection or shoulder 19 which extends into a slot or recess 21 in a rear side of the inner casing 2 and engages a shoulder or complementary abutment member 20 at an upper end of that recess 21 to limit upward movement of the outer casing 5 relative to the inner casing 2 against the bias of the coil spring 18.
  • the inwardly projecting abutment element 19 on an inner side of the outer casing likewise cooperates with a shoulder or lower end 20' of the recess 21 formed in the rear side of the inner casing 2 to form a lower stop or limit to the downward displacement of the outer casing 5 in the second position B.
  • the inner and outer casings 2, 5 have complementary latching elements 22, 23 which are configured and arranged to engage and releasably interlock with one another when the outer casing 5 is displaced downwardly relative to the inner casing 2 to the second position B.
  • the complementary latching elements 22, 23 are designed to hold the outer casing 5 in the second position B relative to the inner casing 2 and thereby hold the lid 7 in the open position, despite the compressed spring 18 acting to bias or urge the outer casing 5 back towards the first position A.
  • the complementary latching elements 22, 23 in this embodiment comprise a pair of prong elements 22 at a front side of the inner casing 2, as is particularly apparent from Fig. 4, and complementary sawtooth-like projections 23 adjacent the prong elements 22 on an inner side of the outer casing 5. As seen in Figs.
  • each of the prong elements 22 presents a tapered or an inclined face 24 and a locking face 25, and each of the sawtooth-like projections 23 similarly presents a tapered or an inclined face 26 and a locking face 27.
  • the locking faces 25, 27 engage and inter ⁇ lock with each other when the outer casing 5 is in the second position B.
  • the complementary latching elements 22, 23 are designed to automatically disengage or release from each other.
  • the prong elements 22 may flex or deflect to facilitate both the interlocking and the release.
  • the mechanism comprising the interconnections of the inner and outer casings 2, 5 with the cover member or lid 7 and the spring element 18 is configured to automatically move the lid 7 back to the closed position upon (re-) introduction or (re-) insertion of one of the e-cigarettes or articles C into a respective one of the inner compartments 4.
  • an end of e-cigarette C contacts and presses against an inner side of the cap 6 which forms a base of the container 1.
  • the user may impart a small force or impulse to the inner casing 2 via the e-cigarette C relative to the outer casing 5, which then acts to release the complementary latching elements 22, 23, such that the inner and outer casings 2, 5 move relative to one another under the action or bias of the coil spring 18 to the first position A and the cover member or lid 7 moves from the open position back to the closed position.
  • the outer casing 5 includes a gripping portion comprising grip elements 28 having a raised profile on opposite sides of the packaging assembly 100 to enhance a user's grip on the outer casing 5 to promote a comfortable and secure handling of the outer casing 5 by a user.
  • the grip elements 28 enable easier manual movement of the outer casing 5 relative to the inner casing 2 between the first and second positions A, B.
  • the grip elements 28 may be injection molded with the outer casing 5 or may be made from strips of a resilient synthetic rubber inserted or extending from recesses formed in sides of the outer casing 5.
