Description
A Package for Tobacco Products Description The present invention relates to a package for tobacco products, and in particular, for smoking articles such as cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos and loose tobacco.
For convenience, these will be referred to as "cigarettes" in this specification.
In particular, the package of the present invention is a soft cup package which is re-sealable.
Soft cup packages are well known in the art, for example, from US 4,776,461. A
soft cup package comprises a soft cup, typically made of paper, which is open at the top.
A charge of cigarettes is surrounded by a wrapping, typically of metal foil, and is located in the soft cup. In US 4,776,461, the soft cup pack may have a conventional closing strip or revenue stamp extending over the open top of the soft cup.
The closing strip or revenue stamp may or may not be re-attachable once opened.
The closing strip or revenue stamp may prevent cigarettes from falling from the package, but does not provide for the re-sealing of the package. Re-sealing of the package is particularly useful in hot countries where humidity can affect the quality of the cigarettes. Thus, once the package of US 4,776,461 is opened, the cigarettes may deteriorate.
WO 02/066341 describes an enclosure surrounding cigarettes, which can be re-sealed. The enclosure is not a soft cup package having an outer cup located around an inner enclosure. The re-sealable cover is located on the inner enclosure.
The present invention provides, in a first aspect, a soft cup package for tobacco products, comprising: a cup-shaped outer container having an open face;
an inner enclosure located in the outer container and configured to surround the tobacco products; a moveable cover connected to a first side of the outer container;
the package further comprising an adhesive arranged to releasably secure the cover to a second side of the outer container with the cover extending over the open face, wherein the cover extends across the majority of the width of the open face.
For convenience, these will be referred to as "cigarettes" in this specification.

Figure 1 shows a soft cup package I for tobacco products, preferably cigarettes. The soft cup package I has a soft cup 2 forming an outer layer. The soft cup 2 is made of paper, and is open at the top. The soft cup has two major faces (front face 20, rear face 22), two side faces 24 and an end face (bottom face 28). An aperture or open face 26 is formed at the top of the soft cup 2, in place of a top end face.
A smoking article charge is located in the soft cup 2. The smoking article charge comprises an enclosure 4 of flexible material wrapped around the tobacco products.
The smoking article charge has two major (front and rear) faces, two side faces and two (top and bottom) end faces. Tobacco products can be removed through a top face of the smoking article charge, and through the aligned aperture 26 of the soft cup 2.
The soft cup package I has a moveable cover 6 extending over the aperture 26 at the open top of the soft cup, and over the smoking article charge. The cover 6 is releasably attached to an exterior surface of the front face 20 of the soft cup 2. A
permanently tacky adhesive is located on the front face 20 and/or on the cover 6 to allow the cover to be repeatedly opened and re-sealed. The permanently tacky adhesive is a pressure sensitive adhesive. The cover 6 is provided with a graspable tab 8 which is not provided with adhesive. The tab 8 can be grasped by a user to open the cover 6.
Figure 2 shows the cover 6 in an open state allowing withdrawal of a cigarette. The inner enclosure 4 extends over the open face of the outer container. The inner enclosure 4 is openable to allow access to the tobacco products through the open face of the outer container. The enclosure 4 comprises a plurality of flaps of material extending over the open face. The enclosure 4 has a top face formed by rear flap 10, front flap 12 and side flaps 16. The flaps 10,12,16 are folded against each other, and are not adhered together.
A part of the inner enclosure 4 extending over the open face is attached to the moveable cover 6, such that opening of the moveable cover 6 opens said part of the inner enclosure 4. The part of the enclosure 4 attached to the moveable cover is a flap extending adjacent the side of the outer container to which the cover is connected.
Preferably, the rear flap 10 is connected to an interior surface of the cover 6. As the cover 6 is lifted, the rear flap 10 is also lifted, away from the front flap 12. A
tobacco product can be easily withdrawn between the rear and front flaps 10,12. The rear flap 10 is preferably connected to the cover 6 by a permanent adhesive, and preferably by a line of adhesive 18 extending laterally across the cover 6 and rear flap 10. The permanent adhesive is sufficiently strong to permanently attach the cover 6 to the soft cup 2.
Figure 3 shows the enclosure 4, without the soft cup 2, in a closed state corresponding to the cover 6 being closed. The rear flap 10, front flap 12 and side flaps 16 overlap to inhibit ingress of air into the enclosure 4. The enclosure 4 may be constructed as conventionally known from a blank, and may optionally have a line of adhesive 18 on the rear flap 10 for attachment to the cover 6. The enclosure 4 is formed from a single sheet of material, folded around the tobacco products.
The edges of the material overlap, and are not sealed or joined together.
Figure 4 shows the cover 6 of the first embodiment of the invention. The cover 6 is affixed to the rear face 22 of the soft cup, preferably with a permanent adhesive. A
first portion 30 of the cover is coated with the permanent adhesive in order to connect the cover to the soft cup 2. A second portion 32 of the cover 6 is not provided with adhesive. The second portion 32 extends over the top face, access aperture 26, of the soft cup. A third portion 34 is provided with a re-sealable, removable, permanently tacky, adhesive. The third portion 34 is arranged to releasably attach to the front face of the soft cup 2. The tab 8 forms part of the third portion 34, and is not provided with adhesive.
The cover 6, and in particular the second portion 32, is dimensioned to extend over /0 the majority of the width of the access opening 26 formed by the open face of the soft cup. The second portion 32 extends laterally across substantially the whole width of the soft cup 2. The cover 6 preferably extends slightly less than the whole width of the soft cup, and at the lateral extremities, the access opening 26 is covered by the underlying side flaps 16 and optionally also the rear and front flaps 10,12.
The second portion 32 may be wider than the first portion 30.
The second portion 32 may have permanently tacky adhesive extending along the interior surface, adjacent the lateral edges, and preferably extending from the portion 30 to the portion 34 on each side. Such adhesive is configured to releasably secure the cover to the top face of the inner enclosure, and so improve the seal around the tobacco products.
The cup-shaped outer container 2 and enclosure 4 forming a known soft-cup package are conventional, and can be made using the same manufacturing apparatus known for manufacturing a soft-cup package without a cover 6. The cover 6 is applied to the cup-shaped outer container 2 after the outer container 2 and enclosure 4 have been formed. Embodiments of the present invention have the advantage that no modification is required to the manufacturing apparatus for forming the outer container 2 and enclosure 4. The cover 6 can be readily affixed to the finished conventional soft-cup package, to form the re-sealable soft-cup package of the present invention. The outer container (soft cup) 2 and cover 6 therefore comprise two parts affixed together.
The cover 6, and in particular the second portion 32, is dimensioned to extend over /0 the majority of the width of the access opening 26 formed by the open face of the soft cup. The second portion 32 extends laterally across substantially the whole width of the soft cup 2. The cover 6 preferably extends slightly less than the whole width of the soft cup, and at the lateral extremities, the access opening 26 is covered by the underlying side flaps 16 and optionally also the rear and front flaps 10,12.
The second portion 32 may be wider than the first portion 30.
The second portion 32 may have permanently tacky adhesive extending along the interior surface, adjacent the lateral edges, and preferably extending from the portion 30 to the portion 34 on each side. Such adhesive is configured to releasably secure the cover to the top face of the inner enclosure, and so improve the seal around the tobacco products.
The cup-shaped outer container 2 and enclosure 4 forming a known soft-cup package are conventional, and can be made using the same manufacturing apparatus known for manufacturing a soft-cup package without a cover 6. The cover 6 is applied to the cup-shaped outer container 2 after the outer container 2 and enclosure 4 have been formed. Embodiments of the present invention have the advantage that no modification is required to the manufacturing apparatus for forming the outer container 2 and enclosure 4. The cover 6 can be readily affixed to the finished conventional soft-cup package, to form the re-sealable soft-cup package of the present invention. The outer container (soft cup) 2 and cover 6 therefore comprise two parts affixed together.
Figure 5 shows part of a package 50 forming a second embodiment of the present invention. Package 50 is substantially the same as the first embodiment of the package, unless otherwise described. Package 50 has a moveable cover 56 extending over a top face of the soft cup. The cover 56 comprises a covering part integrally formed with a rear major face 52 of the outer soft cup. The moveable cover 56 is releasably connected to a front major face 66 with a re-sealing strip 60. The re-sealing strip 60 is affixed to the moveable cover 56 with a permanent adhesive located on portion 64. The re-sealing strip 60 releasably attaches to the front face 66 of the soft cup with a permanently tacky adhesive located at portion 62. The re-/0 sealing strip 60 has a graspable tab 58 which is not provided with adhesive. The tab 58 can be lifted in order to release the re-sealing strip 60 from the front face 66, and lift the movable cover 56.
The cover 56 comprises two parts affixed together. The cover 56 comprises a covering portion extending over the open face of the outer container, and a fastening portion 60 attached to the covering portion. The covering portion forms a seal over the top face of the soft cup.

In particular, the movable cover and rear flap may be connected by a line 68 of permanent adhesive.
Pressure sensitive adhesive may extend along the interior surface of the cover 56, adjacent the lateral edges. Such adhesive is configured to releasably secure the cover to the top face of the inner enclosure, and so improve the seal around the tobacco products.
The re-sealing strip 60 is described as separate from, and affixed to, the moveable cover 56. Alternatively, the re-sealing strip may be integrally formed with the movable cover. In such an embodiment, a portion of the moveable cover 56 can be releasably attached to the front face of the package with a permanently tacky adhesive on the moveable cover and/or on a corresponding part of the front face.
The cover 56 comprises two parts affixed together. The cover 56 comprises a covering portion extending over the open face of the outer container, and a fastening portion 60 attached to the covering portion. The covering portion forms a seal over the top face of the soft cup.
An interior surface of the movable cover 56 is preferably attached to a rear flap of the inner enclosure, as described for the first embodiment of Figures 1 to 4.
In particular, the movable cover and rear flap may be connected by a line 68 of permanent adhesive.
Pressure sensitive adhesive may extend along the interior surface of the cover 56, adjacent the lateral edges. Such adhesive is configured to releasably secure the cover to the top face of the inner enclosure, and so improve the seal around the tobacco products.
The re-sealing strip 60 is described as separate from, and affixed to, the moveable cover 56. Alternatively, the re-sealing strip may be integrally formed with the movable cover. In such an embodiment, a portion of the moveable cover 56 can be releasably attached to the front face of the package with a permanently tacky adhesive on the moveable cover and/or on a corresponding part of the front face.
A further portion of the moveable cover is not provided with adhesive, and acts as a graspable tab, analogously with tab 8 or tab 58.
Figures 6 to 9 show a third embodiment of the present invention. A soft cup package 70 has an outer container 72 in the form of a soft cup, in which is located an enclosure surrounding a charge of cigarettes. The package 70 has a cover 66 moveable over a top face, analogous to the first embodiment. The cover 66 is affixed to an exterior surface of a rear face of an outer container, soft cup 72. The cover 66 is initially in a folded state, folded against an exterior surface of the rear of /0 the package 70, and does not initially extend over the top face of the package 70.
The cover 66 is folded onto itself against the side of the outer container to which the cover is permanently connected. The cover 66 can be unfolded into an extended state to form a cover analogous to the cover 6 of the first embodiment.
Figure 6 shows the cover 66 in a partially folded state. The cover 66 is initially folded into three sections, a first section 73, second section 74 and third section 76.
The first section is permanently connected to the rear face of the outer container with permanent adhesive in area 80. The first and second sections 74,76 are initially located between the first section 73 and the rear face of the outer container, and are thus held against the rear face of the soft cup. The cover 66 is folded into three overlying portions, corresponding to the first, second and third sections.
The second section 74 is preferably not provided with any adhesive.
Alternatively, the second section 74 may be provided with a permanently tacky adhesive on one or both faces in order to releasably secure the second section to the first and/or third sections 73,76 when the cover 66 is in the folded state.
The third section is provided with a permanently tacky adhesive over area 82.
The permanently tacky adhesive is located to releasably secure the cover 66 to a front face 90 of the outer container, when the cover 66 is unfolded. In the folded state, the adhesive on area 82 releasably secures the cover to the side of the outer container to which the cover 66 is permanently connected.
Figures 6 to 9 show a third embodiment of the present invention. A soft cup package 70 has an outer container 72 in the form of a soft cup, in which is located an enclosure surrounding a charge of cigarettes. The package 70 has a cover 66 moveable over a top face, analogous to the first embodiment. The cover 66 is affixed to an exterior surface of a rear face of an outer container, soft cup 72. The cover 66 is initially in a folded state, folded against an exterior surface of the rear of /0 the package 70, and does not initially extend over the top face of the package 70.
The cover 66 is folded onto itself against the side of the outer container to which the cover is permanently connected. The cover 66 can be unfolded into an extended state to form a cover analogous to the cover 6 of the first embodiment.
Figure 6 shows the cover 66 in a partially folded state. The cover 66 is initially folded into three sections, a first section 73, second section 74 and third section 76.
The first section is permanently connected to the rear face of the outer container with permanent adhesive in area 80. The first and second sections 74,76 are initially located between the first section 73 and the rear face of the outer container, and are thus held against the rear face of the soft cup. The cover 66 is folded into three overlying portions, corresponding to the first, second and third sections.
The second section 74 is preferably not provided with any adhesive.
Alternatively, the second section 74 may be provided with a permanently tacky adhesive on one or both faces in order to releasably secure the second section to the first and/or third sections 73,76 when the cover 66 is in the folded state.
The third section is provided with a permanently tacky adhesive over area 82.
