Description
~12~135 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention rela-tes to a new and improved construction of package for smoking articles, includlng Matches, the package having a box-like sleeve and an lnsert arranged within such sleeve.
Such smoking article packages are known to the art.
The matches are arranged such that there is occupied one entire flat side of the box-shaped sleeve in a manner that there is appreciably impaired its value as part of the outer package dis-play. Heretofore known solutions additionally required a dis-turbing volume increase of the package in relation to smoking article packages devoid of matches. Finally, with the state-of-the-art smoking article packages containing matches there was unsolved the problem of the matches or the like becoming dampened or wet.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Therefore, with the foregoing in mind it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a new and improved construction of smoking article package containing matches which is not associated with the aforementioned drawbacks and limita-tions of the prior art proposals.
A,~
1~'5135 Another and more spec~fic objectof the present invention a~ ;
at providing a smoking article package with matches which is not afflicted with the aforementioned drawbacks and shortcomings of the prior art constructions and requires very few changes at existing packages which are devoid of matches.
Now in order to implement these and still further objects of the invention, which will become more readily ap-parent as the description proceeds, the smoking article package of the present development is manifested by the features that the box-like sleeve is provided at the region of at least one of its outer edges with a substantially slot-shaped passage or passageway. The matches are arranged between the insert and the sleeve in such a manner that their rearward ends protrude into such passageway.
Between the insert and the sleeve there is preferably arranged a striking or friction strip which extends transversely with respect to the matches.
This arrangement, in contrast to the heretofore known packages of this type, affords the advantage that the sleeve can remain unchanged up to the edge portion, and therefore, can be used as a unit for forming the package. Furthermore, there is retained the stability of the package, without there being re-quired the provision of additional reinforcements. Since the ~2~35 match heads are ccvered by the sleeve, there is only a very slight danger that the matches or the like will beeome wet. Finally, there are needed only relatively small changes of standard and conventionally employed smoking article packages, in order to construct an inventive package with matches. Hence, the presently employed packaging machines need not be appreciably altered for the eonstruction of the inventive smoking article packages containing matches.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Describing now the drawings, the smoking article package 1, shown in Figure l,is assumed to be intended for use with cigarettes. However, the cigarettes have not been shown in the drawings in order to improve the clarity of illustration, and also the standard wrapper or pack for retaining the smoking articles fresh has been omitted. The cigarette package will be seen to comprise a relatively stiffi box 2 having a flip-top cover 3 and . :112~135 constructed as a sleeve. This box 2 is formed in conventional manner, with the exception of the slot-shaped passage or passage-way 4. The box-like sleeve or box 2 has a cover 6 at the region of its outer edge 5. This cover 6 forms an integrated part of the box 2. As particularly well seen by referring to Figure 3, the shape of the cover 6 is determined by a perforation or tear line 8 provided at the box 2, the cover 6 and box 2 being separ-able along the perforation or tear line 8. On the other hand, the connection of the cover 6 with the box or box-like sleeve 2 is maintained at the region of the fold or fold line 7, even afte~
the cover 6 has been opened. Formation of the fold 7 can be ac-complished during such time as the package is fabricated under conditions which ensure that the cover 6 closes for the duration of use of the box 2. In order to facilitate the initial opening of the cover 6, it is possible that the perforation 8 merges with a grab or gripper tab or flap 9 at one of the perforation cutaway sections, as best seen by referring to Figure 3. A
further possibility of constructing the passage or passageway 4 for the matches 16, has been shown by way of example in Figure 4.
Here, a tear strip 10, which is removed upon initial use of the package, renders accessible the match ends which remain uncovered during the entire use of the smoking article package or the like.
Finally, in certain instances it also may be advantageous to leave the match ends uncovered right from the start. This is particularly possible for those types of embodiments such as, for lZ5135 instance, shown in Figure ~ where the match ends are bent about an outer edge of the package.
Arranged within the box or box-like sleeve 2, is an insert 11, the construction of which is particularly apparent from the showing of Figure 2. This insert 11 has a carrier or support surface 12 for the matches 1~ or other lighting means.
Merging with the support or carrier surface 12 are two flexed or bent guide surfaces 13 and 14, wherein the one guide surface, here the guide surface 14, located at the side of the match ends, extends essentially over the entire side surface of the box 2.
These guide surfaces 13 and 14 impart to the support or carrier surface 12 the requisite rigidity within the box or box-like sleeve 2, even if a large part of the cigarettes previously contained therein have been consumed, and therefore, the sup-porting effect of the cigarettes at the box is no longer present.
Moreover, the guide surfaces 13 and 14 together with the support surface 12 serve as a seat for the flip-top cover or top 3 of the box 2 and therefore, at this region, assume the task of the already known inserts.
Continuing, it will be seen that there is arranged a striking or friction strip 15, constituting a striking or frictior surface , at the support surface 12. The striking or friction strip 15 can either be adhesively bonded or can consist of a 112::~,13S
friction material which is directly applied to the support sur-face 12. The friction or striking strip 15, even after the passage 4 is opened, remains at least partially covered by the box or box-like sleeve 2. Such protects it from becoming wet, contaminated and worn, such as rnight possibly happen when the cigarette package is carried around for a longer period of time. Arranged over the striking or friction strip 15 are the matches 16 upon the support or carrier surface 12, and specifi-cally, in such a manner that the matches, when pulled at their ends, can be easily detached from the support surface 12. Attach-ment may be accomplished, by way of example, by providing a spot of glue or the like at the region between the friction or striking strip 15 and the match head. Of course, other attach-ment techniques for securing the matches at the support or carrier surface 12 are conceivable, such as for instance partial-ly pressing the matches into such support surface. The matches 16 are flattened, so that the volume of the inventive cigarette package is not disturbingly increased in relation to standard packages. This has the advantage that the heretofore used, con-ventional shipment boxes can still be employed. The shaft orstem of the matches 16 is formed of wood, cardboard, or any other suitable flammable material. Since such match stem, with the embodiment under discussion, is only tensionally loaded, it can have a relatively light structure. This affords the attendant advantage of a saving in material and space.
~1~5~35 As likewise seen by referring to Figure 2, the insert 11 is provided at the edge between the support surface 12 and the guide surface 14 with a slot-shaped opening or passage 17 es-sentially corresponding to the passage or passageway 4 at the sleeve 2. This opening 17 serves for engaging the match ends, .
protruding into the passageway 4, by means of the user's fingers, something particularly evident by referring to the sectional .
showing of Figure 5. .
. I
As seen from the showing of Figures 1 and 5, the insert 11 is inserted into the sleeve 2 and is located, in the condition of use, between the fresh retention wrapper or package 18 and the sleeve 2 (Figure 5). It is not necessary, although possible, to connect the insert 11 with the sleeve 2, since the inserted insert 11, during the normal condition of use, does not shift within the sleeve 2.
In order to use the cigarette package with the matches 16, initially the passage 4 is exposed, for instance by opening l the cover 6. Thereafter, a match 16 is seized at its end pro- .
trudingintothe passageway 4 and is drawn in the lengthwise direction out of the box. In order to overcome the attachment of the matches 16 at the support or carrier surface 12, the withdrawing movement is to be performed with a certain intensity, resulting in the match heads wipingly contacting the striking or friction strip 15 with the speed necessary for lighting the 1~ L35 withdrawn match. In order to prevent the risk of match duds, with improper use of the cigarette package, the region of the sleeve 2, situated opposite the friction strip 15 at the insert 11, likewise can be provided with a friction or striking strip, so that the match head of a match which is to be used is moved .
between two such striking or friction strips.
. l Now in Figure 6 there is shown in sectional view a further exemplary embodiment of the invention. Here, the passage 4 is formed by a narrow slot at the sleeve 2, through which freely protrude the ends 20 of the matches 16. These match ends l 20 are flexed or bent and bear at the outside against a side , surface 19 of the sleeve. In order to light a match, its end 20 i is seized and bent-up. Thereafter, the match, in order to light the same, is moved in the manner already previously described n conjunction with the first disclosed exemplary embodiment.
.' .
According to a further, not particularly shown exem-plary embodiment, the matches, as above described, are arranged upon the insert, which however does not have any friction or striking strip. Such is arranged at a surface of the box 2 which is accessible from the outside, preferably at one of its side surfaces. In this case, there are required two manipulations in order to light a match, namely, initially the withdrawal of the match out of the package and thereafter, the striking of the ~ :L12~135 match at the friction or striking strlp.
Of course, the arrangement of the matches in the package can be accomplished also in a different manner than illustrated in connection with Figures 1 and 2, wherein the .
insert 11 and the passage 4 are to be accommodated appropriately ~
at the box 2. In Figures 7 and 8 there have been schematically ¦
shown further conceivable constructions. Figure 7 illustrates a cigarette package in top plan view. The matches 16 are aligned at the front side of the package towards the side edges in two rows. Their number corresponds at least to the number of 1~ cigarettes in the package. At the corresponding side edges of the box 2 there are mounted the covers 6 which freely expose the match ends. The pulling direction, through which the matches 16 are moved out of the package, has been indicated by the not particularly referenced arrows. The arrangement of Figure 8 possesses a match row aligned towards the lower edge of the box 2 and provided at each of the front side or face and atthe rear side or face (not visible in Figure 8), wherein after open-ing the cover 6, the matches 16 can be withdrawn in the direction of the arrow of Figure 8.
'. , ~' As will be readily understood from the preceeding description, the invention can be realized at existing package sleeves 2, while undertaking small changes or modifications. It s immaeerlal whether there are employed rlgid packaging sleeves ~1~2~35 (boxes) as for instance has been assumed strictly by way of example and not limitation for the preceding exemplary em-bodiments, or soft paper sleeves. When using soft paper sleeves, it is recommended to fabricate the insert 11 from somewhat stronger material, so that there is imparted the necessary :
rigidity or stiffness to the package, even when the package is not full. .
While there are shown and described present pre-ferred embodiments of the invention, it is to be distinctly l understood that the invention is not limited thereto, but may .
be otherwise variously embodied and practiced within the scope of theollowing claims. ACCORDINGLY, .
The present invention rela-tes to a new and improved construction of package for smoking articles, includlng Matches, the package having a box-like sleeve and an lnsert arranged within such sleeve.
Such smoking article packages are known to the art.
The matches are arranged such that there is occupied one entire flat side of the box-shaped sleeve in a manner that there is appreciably impaired its value as part of the outer package dis-play. Heretofore known solutions additionally required a dis-turbing volume increase of the package in relation to smoking article packages devoid of matches. Finally, with the state-of-the-art smoking article packages containing matches there was unsolved the problem of the matches or the like becoming dampened or wet.

In order to facilitate the initial opening of the cover 6, it is possible that the perforation 8 merges with a grab or gripper tab or flap 9 at one of the perforation cutaway sections, as best seen by referring to Figure 3. A

Here, a tear strip 10, which is removed upon initial use of the package, renders accessible the match ends which remain uncovered during the entire use of the smoking article package or the like.
Finally, in certain instances it also may be advantageous to leave the match ends uncovered right from the start. This is particularly possible for those types of embodiments such as, for lZ5135 instance, shown in Figure ~ where the match ends are bent about an outer edge of the package.
Arranged within the box or box-like sleeve 2, is an insert 11, the construction of which is particularly apparent from the showing of Figure 2. This insert 11 has a carrier or support surface 12 for the matches 1~ or other lighting means.
