The specific embodiment

Referring to Fig. 1, label 1 is integrally represented rigid pack, and it is designed to hold a plurality of cigarette bags 2, and especially as the cigarette bag of disclosed type in No. the 1240088th, the European patent, this patent is hereby expressly incorporated by with reference to so that complete description to be provided; Single cigarette bag 2 comprises the outer wrapper 3 of the prism that is rendered as the fundamental triangle cross-sectional plane, therefore the end face 5 that has three of basic rectangular profile 4 and two fundamental triangles in abutting connection with the side 4 all is arranged to be parallel to prismatic main longitudinal axis 5 in abutting connection with the side for these three.

Package 1 can be with reference to the main longitudinal axis of being arranged to transverse to the axis 5 of cigarette bag 2 that is denoted as " L ", and is rendered as the prism in basic trapezoidal longitudinal cross section.

Especially, can see that package 1 has the longitudinal cross-section that can be identified as isosceles trapezoid on profile, and this trapezoidal profile is illustrated by front 7 and back 8.

More particularly, the above-mentioned front 7 of package 1 and back 8 are parallel to main longitudinal axis " L " and extend, in abutting connection with two corresponding long limits 9 of the bottom surface 10 of basic rectangle and two be arranged to transverse to 10 the relatively short limit 12 in abutting connection with the bottom surface similarly, 11 of 11, two sides, side of these three

faces

7,8 and 10.Therefore, the long limit 9 of bottom surface and minor face 12 overlap with the bottom comers limit of package 1.

Package 1 also has the inlet of the rectangular profile that is denoted as label 13, and it has occupied the plane that is parallel to bottom surface 10, and the passage that can pass it and shift out the cigarette bag 2 that is contained in the package 1 is provided.

As shown in the figure, the front 7 of isosceles trapezoid profile and back 8 occupy perpendicular to the plane by occupied plane, bottom surface 10.In two

trapezoidal faces

7 and 8 each all has in abutting connection with the bottom surface the basic limit 7b of weak point and 8b and two each the hypotenuse 7c and the 8c in abutting connection with the respective side outside of belly 11 on the long limit of the basic limit 7a of length on 10 long limit and 8a, adjacent openings 13.

Two flank faces 11 are rectangular profile, and with respect to the plane inclination that occupies by bottom surface 10.Equally, each flank face 11 have in abutting connection with the top margin 11a of inlet 13 corresponding minor face, in abutting connection with the bottom surface base 11b of 10 minor face 12 and two each in abutting connection with corresponding front 7 or the side 11c of hypotenuse 7c of

back

8 or 8c.

In fact, suppose side 11 towards upwards convergence of opening 13, each base 11b overlaps with edge of acute angle, and each top margin 11a and obtuse angle coincident.

In the example of Fig. 1, rigid pack 1 has end face 14, and the profile of this end face 14 cooperates with the profile phase of opening 13.In brief, end face 14 has the rectangular profile with opening 13 same sizes, and its size is less than the size of bottom surface 10.

The end face 14 of package 1 is connected to next 8 along the hinge " A " that overlaps with above-mentioned minor face 8b, and can therefore between off position (not shown in figures) and open position (as shown in Figure 1), move, end face 14 is arranged to be parallel to bottom surface 10 and is sealed opening 13 at this off position, and separates in this open position and opening 13.

In the example of Fig. 3, rigid pack 1 is not provided with end face 14 as shown in Figure 1.In this example, opening 13 keeps not being capped, and exposes and see the cigarette bag 2 that is contained in the package 1.
