Description

Packaging for smoking articles

Technical field

The invention relates to a package for smoking articles, eg cigarettes and other products, made of cardboard blank and intended especially for sale in a unit pack.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Two types of packaging have been used to produce cigarette packets. One is a hard box, the so-called box, whose basic element is a slice of thin cardboard. This type of box usually consists of a base part and a lid that is hinged relative to the base part so that the box can be reopened and closed repeatedly. The advantage of this type is its relative strength and protection of cigarettes. The second type is a soft wrapper, the basic element of which is a blank made of thin paper. Typically, the wrapper is provided with a tear tab, by which a portion of the wrapper can be torn off, thereby allowing the consumer access to cigarettes. As a rule, such a box cannot be resealed.

Currently, cigarettes packaged by both of the above methods are commercially available, the package comprising twenty or ten cigarettes.

Packing of lump cigarettes is also known. For example. according to the Czech utility model 1265, each cigarette is contained in a package consisting of at least one cylinder corresponding to the length and diameter of the size of the inwardly placed cigarette, which is closed at one end and opened at the other end and provided with a stopper. Inside the package, between the closed end and the inserted cigarette, a resilient insert is placed which, when the plug is opened, flexes and slides the cigarette out of the tube so that it is easily grasped. A thin tape extends from the stopper outside the package to allow easy opening of the package.

The cigarette pack according to the Czech utility model 3818 is made of cardboard blank and contains a main compartment for storing cigarettes, above which there is a hinged lid, and in close proximity to the main compartment contains a socket for storing matches. The cigarette wrapper is provided with a double bottom where the drawer is slidably mounted between the top bottom and the bottom bottom of the double bottom of the cigarette wrapper or when the cigarette wrapper is provided with a double ceiling arranged in the hinged lid. cigarette cover.

Czech utility model 5294 discloses a cigarette pack intended to be packed in one or two pieces, said pack comprising a plurality of bonded packs consisting of two strips of moisture-resistant material with at least one cigarette between them, along the edges and • 9 9 9 9 9 9 9

9 · 9 9 9 9 «·· 9 99 9 99 between the packed cigarettes, a perforation is guided between the packed cigarettes, and at least one of the strips is transparent between the packed cigarettes.

It is also known to pack cigarettes of up to five pieces according to PAT CZ 284 963, which consists in that the wrapper is formed by at least one tray-shaped pocket formed in the bottom transparent film. At least one cigarette is inserted into the pocket and the pocket is thermally connected to the cap provided with a closure. A duty stamp is affixed over the cap.

Currently, it is not allowed to sell individual cigarette pieces divided from a larger number of pieces in a box. It is necessary, if individual cigarettes are sold, that they be stamped individually. Each of the aforementioned known cigarette packs has certain disadvantages, both in terms of manufacturing costs, in terms of the complexity of the machinery, and in terms of raw materials and residual waste, which is not environmentally and biodegradable in the case of plastic film.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the invention to provide an alternative packaging of smoking articles, in particular lump cigarettes, in such a way that the packaging complies not only with hygiene regulations but also with the legal conditions for the sale of this kind of goods. not least that the proposed packaging enables the use of recyclable and / or biodegradable material, while maintaining the quality of the goods being sold.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The above-mentioned disadvantages largely eliminate and solve the smoking article packaging, in particular cigarettes according to the invention, formed from a cardboard blank formed into fold-separated sectors for two front, two side walls, a connecting strip for connecting the front wall to the side, and at least two oppositely arranged sectors for the upper and lower bottom of the package, the essence of which is that one of the bottom sectors is provided with a flap for application to one of the walls. The bottom flap sector is the fold line separated from one of the wall sectors and is an integral part of the blank for making the wrapper formed into the fold line-separated sectors for one of the front, two side walls and fronts of the wrapper insert. The flap is equipped with an auxiliary tongue. At least one match is removably attached to the inside of the flap and at least one of the wall sectors of the wrapper and / or of the wrapper and / or flap is a match primer. The flap may be provided with a safety protective means. The package formed from the present carton blank consists of a main space formed by the interconnection of the sectors and an integrally hinged lid formed by one of the bottom sectors with means for closing and opening the package, in this case a flap provided with an auxiliary tongue.

The advantage of the wrapper for smoking articles according to the invention is that it is relatively easy to manufacture, with the possibility of using several variants of the final wrapper, and recyclable and / or biodegradable material can be advantageously used for preparing cardboard blanks.

Overview of the drawings

The wrapper for smoking articles according to the invention is illustrated in more detail with the aid of schematic drawings, wherein FIG. 1 represents the shape of a blank for forming a package from one piece of this blank; FIG. 2 another possible variation of wrapping this time using two different cardboard blank.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Example 1.

The wrapper for smoking articles, especially cigarettes, is formed from a single cardboard blank (FIG. 1), which is formed into sectors for the front walls 2,4, the side walls 3,5, the connecting strip 6 for connecting the front wall to the side, and opposing bottom sectors 7, 8, 9 for the top and bottom bottoms of the package. One of the bottom sectors 7, 7, 9, 9 is provided with a flap 10 for applying to one of the walls 2,3,4,5. In an exemplary embodiment, the flap is provided with a bottom sector 9. The individual sectors are separated from each other by fold lines 12.

The packaging formed from the carton blank described and shown in FIG. 1 consists of a main compartment formed by the interconnection of sectors

2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8 and an integrally hinged lid formed by the bottom sector 9 with means for closing and opening the package, in this case a flap 10 provided with an auxiliary tongue 11. The package is assembled in a known and conventional manner, i. by folding sectors in bending lines and gluing. The packaging generally has a linear shape when viewed.

It is removably attached to the flap 10, preferably on the inside of the flap 10, e.g. at least one match. To activate the match, an activating compound is applied to the surface of the package, e.g. on one of the wall sectors 2,3,4,5 of the container and / or the flap 10.
