Description

Cigarette case with protrusion

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of cigarette case of the goods that are used to hold smoking, particularly cigarette.

Background technology

Cigarette case is known in the art, and it is made with paper board material or similar material.They are packaged in cellophane film or the transparent membrane successively,, and before using, these films are removed by the user for use in retail.

A kind of like this cigarette case generally includes the microscler box body that is used to hold cigarette, and it has the upper shed that is used to take out cigarette.Described box body also has front panel, rear panel, two relative side panels and base plate.By hinged joints lid is connected on the described box body, makes that in this way the upper shed of described box body can be closed.This lid also has front panel, rear panel, two relative side panels and top panel.The hinge that connects described box body and lid is arranged on the rear panel of described cigarette case usually, and the feather edge of the rear panel of the top edge of the rear panel of described box body and described lid is interconnected with one another.Cigarette case also has wrapper usually, and described wrapper is arranged on the inside of described box body, is positioned at the position (or zone) of upper shed.

Open in order to prevent that lid is unexpected, wrapper known in the art (or packing material) makes progress up to now, and it keeps lid to be in its position by the upper shed of the described box body of friction sealing.

Since the repetition opening and closing of described cigarette case, the top meeting rapid wearing of wrapper, but, the side panel of described lid may be lost their hardness, and the feasible frictional fit that keeps lid to be in closure state is no longer reliable.If described lid is opened by accident, for example the cigarette aromatic that just might drop from described cigarette case or should remain in the tobacco-containing material might run off.In addition, the ＂ lid of ＂ closure is normally opened slightly, if described cigarette case had used the long time already, this looks it does not have attractive force, and can cause evaporation, and makes cigarette exsiccation.

When described lid complete opening, for the cardboard lid it can also slightly deformed, thereby one or two side panel of described lid sticks to the inboard of wrapper sidewall when lid pivots backward, stop cigarette case to be closed thus.If adhere to described side like this, the side of wrapper can not come off by the user with noticing, may cause the part distortion of described cigarette case or even destroy fully in down periods applied force again, this means some or all function that to lose described cigarette case.

Summary of the invention

The purpose of this invention is to provide the cigarette case that overcomes the problems referred to above commonly known in the art.

Above-mentioned purpose can realize by the cigarette case of the described type of claim 1.Dependent claims defines the preferred embodiments of the present invention.

Cigarette case proposed by the invention has at least one protrusion of at least one side panel that is positioned on described box body and/or the lid, and when described cigarette case was closed, the wiring that virtually connects that it is crossed between described hinge and the front lid feather edge was stretched.When the side of described cigarette case is seen, this connection lead is connected to the hinge on the rear panel of described cigarette case or hinge on the lid feather edge and box body top edge of front panel of described cigarette case.

According to prior art, this connection lead is respectively the lid feather edge also usually, is positioned at the box body top edge on the side panel of cigarette case.Because the hinge on the rear panel of described cigarette case is set to be higher than front lid feather edge usually, in other words, the top panel of more approaching described lid, this connection lead diagonal angle extend through each of two side panels of described cigarette case.For existing cigarette case, described lid and box body are close to each other with the position of side lid feather edge and box body top edge in front.

For cigarette case proposed by the invention, one or more protrusions can be set on one or two panel, when described cigarette case is closed, it extends beyond described connection lead, and lid and box body can have one or more protrusions and be positioned on one or two side panel of described cigarette case.

The advantage of this or these protrusion is, they provide extra surface (preferably each protrusion has two surfaces), and it can play a part friction surface on big face area.Therefore, described lid obtains special actv. by the frictional fit that is produced by a certain locational protrusion and fixes, and wherein, it has closed the opening of described box body.When described lid opening and make position between when mobile, it can also be by the described relatively box body guiding of one or more protrusions, on the one hand, this makes the described cigarette case of its easier control, on the other hand, guarantees that it can realize its function.

A protrusion will be described below.Very natural can expect be, for cigarette case proposed by the invention, can have several protrusions, under this occasion, the single protrusion of each protrusion or a plurality of protrusions can be combined with specific structure (or shape or configuration).

Described protrusion can print in the process of producing cigarette case, maybe can give its specific shape or outward appearance, so that it can be as the information source that offers the user.At this on the one hand, described protrusion can also only be the part of information sides, and its overall dimension is bigger.

Therefore when described cigarette case was closed, described protrusion preferably can move or be directed into the admittance position that is specially adapted for it, is used to make lid to remain on closure state described protrusion then, and prevented that cigarette case from unexpectedly opening.Therefore, one or two side of described protrusion can be designed to friction surface, and described friction surface can slide along the side panel of described wrapper and/or described cigarette case or friction.Because greater than the friction surface of the wrapper of cigarette case of the prior art, the stronger frictional fit that is produced can more effectively stop described lid self-opening than prior art to the friction surface of protrusion proposed by the invention in fact.For this reason, one or two side of described protrusion can also be combined with friction and strengthen element, for example, and coarse surface.Particularly, except above-mentioned frictional fit, it can also and be admitted at described protrusion to provide between the position and force or the actv. cooperation, comprise and give described protrusion specific shape, and give described admittance position and be fit to its special shape, this may stop described lid to be opened naturally.For example, enter its some place at protrusion, described admittance position can have the size littler than described protrusion, so that described protrusion cannot move into this narrower point at described admittance position, unless apply extra power.If only need apply the power of this increase through too short distance along the sense of motion of described protrusion, this user advantageously has mark, show described cigarette case because representative type ＂ engages noise ＂ and closure, thereby can also improve the touch feeling of described cigarette case.

Not only can imagine between a protrusion and an admittance position provides such mutual action, but also can provide between the plurality of projections on described lid and the box body, and they interfix each other or hook or the phase mutual friction.

If described admittance position is arranged on the described box body, it can be arranged between described box body and the wrapper.If described wrapper is not gluing fully with the whole surface of the box body that contacts with it, for example, there is not the position of gluing can constitute described admittance position.

Described admittance position can be formed by the position of the blank of described cigarette case, with described protrusion adjacency, and therefore has opposite profile with described protrusion.Because the position in abutting connection with described protrusion on the described blank is the part on cigarette case surface, it is arranged at following (as seen) in the outside of the side panel that is in described cigarette case, in case described cigarette case was folding already and gluing, the surface at the described admittance position that contact with the side friction of described protrusion is that the inside face that the side panel by described wrapper forms with the side panel of described appreciiable cigarette case forms.

But, it is contemplated that also described admittance position is arranged on the lid that in this case, it can be that the position in abutting connection with protrusion by the blank of described lid forms on described lid.

Described protrusion can be with making with the cigarette case identical materials, and therefore formed by the blank of described cigarette case already.This means that it there is no need to connect by algorithm independently, for example, by subsequently to existing cigarette case gluing.Therefore, described protrusion can be arranged on integrated molding on the edge of side panel of described box body or lid.But, also it is contemplated that integrated molding on the edge on the surface of described protrusion below the side panel that is arranged at described box body or lid, described cigarette case is in a single day gluing, and it just no longer as seen.The combination of these two kinds of options is feasible equally.

Described protrusion can also form on the edge of one of them face of the blank of described lid, it be arranged at or gluing one-tenth on the side panel of described cigarette case one at another top, depart from other surperficial edges.In this case, these two kinds of edges can have similar shape or particularly similar profile.

Say that in principle from the lateral projection of described cigarette case, described protrusion can have Any shape, particularly circle or semicircular in shape or have the shape at three or three above turnings substantially.Identical principle is equally applicable to hold the admittance position of described protrusion.

Top edge or feather edge that the bottom of described protrusion and/or top edge can also be parallel to or be parallel to substantially the side panel of described box body extend.

The bottom of described protrusion and/or top edge can also have Any shape or profile, particularly Wan Qu wave-like.

Another aspect of the present invention relates to the one or more protrusions on described lid, and when described cigarette case was closed once more, it can stop described lid to be stuck.

For this reason, the present invention proposes to provide at least one protrusion on described lid, and it is overlapping with the side panel of the wrapper that is arranged on the position (or zone) that the box body inboard is positioned at upper shed, realizes by the specific opening angle that opens to described lid.For this reason, the left side protrusion preferably outwards moves along the left lateral sides plate of described wrapper, and the right side protrusion outwards moves along the right side side panel of described wrapper simultaneously.

This overlapping preferred lid opening angle with 150 ° exists.But, it is contemplated that so that opening angle is overlapping arbitrarily all be feasible, for example, the maximum opening angle almost can be 180 °, and in other words, the rear panel that almost reaches described lid is close to the point of the rear panel of described box body.This means that when cigarette case was closed again, lid no longer may be stuck on described wrapper or the described box body.Described lid is gluing at the ＂ outside of wrapper ＂.

Say that in principle it is overlapping than long ＂ with described wrapper ＂ that the protrusion on the lid described here provides when described lid opens and closes.Certainly, described protrusion or each protrusion can be overlapping with bigger degree with described wrapper, and that extends below their dotted lines between described hinge and front lid feather edge is farther.

Describedly overlappingly can do more outstandingly, be due to the fact that especially at least a portion of described protrusion is arranged at the rear of the side panel of described lid, in other words, it is than the position of the rear panel of the more approaching described cigarette case of front panel of described cigarette case.If the main portion of described protrusion or described protrusion is arranged at the position of the described hinge between lid and the box body, can prevent from especially effectively to get stuck.
