Definitions

  • This invention relates to the art of food-processing industry and concerns to manufacture and packing of piece tobacco products.
  • Cigarettes made, at least partially, of finely cut tobacco wrapped in thin ("tissue") paper are the most widespread type of piece tobacco products.
  • cigarette includes one popular in Russia called “papyroce”.
  • the papyroce has a portion about one-third in length filled in finely cut tobacco and another portion about two-thirds in length of basically empty paper tube with or without filtering substance wrapped together in the tissue paper.
  • the paper tube part of the papyroce serves as a mouthpiece.
  • Cigars made of compact rolls of tobacco leaves are a little less widespread type of piece tobacco products.
  • the simplest cigarette consists wholly of finely cut tobacco wrapped in the tissue paper.
  • More widespread types of cigarettes are filled in finely cut tobacco only partially and are provided by an end portion of nicotine filter or mouthpiece.
  • Cigarettes made of finely cut tobacco relates to piece tobacco products of mass demand which are relatively quickly consumed. They are packed for retail trade, as a rule, in packs containing not less than 10 pieces. Cigars made of compact rolls of tobacco leaves relates to piece tobacco products of more restricted demand which are relatively slowly consumed. They are packed for retail trade, as a rule, in pieces or in packs containing 3-5 pieces.
  • Piece tobacco products having a portion not filled in finely cut tobacco are placed (oriented) in a pack in such a manner that just these portions become accessible after opening the pack.
  • hygienic protector in the form of a cartridge or a cup, which shall be easily removed before the use.
  • the hygienic protector can cover the part of cigarette curve surface adjacent to the end portion, or it can cover the end portion with the adjacent curve surface.
  • Such piece tobacco products as cigarettes are packed in packs directly, but in most cases the cigarettes which are the content of the pack, have additional shell, common for all or for a part of the content.
  • Such individual shell is made, as a rule, from a foil.
  • the additional shell may be considered as an element of the common packing.
  • Individual cigars may be wrapped from all sides in separate covers which are made of a material denser than the tissue paper, for example, from cellophane.
  • Each such individual compartment with piece tobacco product is separated from the next compartment by a sealing seam, hermetizing the corresponding compartment, and by longitudinal line of perforations which allows to separate an individual tobacco product, not opening the next compartments containing the other tobacco products.
  • the described method of piece tobacco products packing allows to preserve their aroma and freshness.
  • any piece tobacco product may be considered as the constituent element of a set of uniform products incorporated by the continuous common shell, and may not be considered as an individual independent unit.
  • the known piece tobacco products have the inherent classical forms, and the known methods of their packing provides for placing of such products directly in a pack.
  • the tobacco products which are made, at least partially, of finely cut tobacco and placed in the shell of a tissue paper may additionally have only such individual shell, which only partially cover corresponding product, and only tobacco products made from compact roll of tobacco leaves may have individual shells, covering the appropriate product from all sides.
  • the individual shells covering corresponding tobacco products partially or completely, are made from uniformely coloured and homogeneous material, without any images on their surfaces.
  • Common and individual shells of all known piece tobacco products are made from a material which may differ on density, but are identical on appearance.
  • tobacco products being the minimal commodity units as carriers of an information, mainly of advertising nature, provide for placing this information on elements of common packing of tobacco products or on the separate sheets (inserts) placed in a pack, but not on the tobacco products itself.
  • the main aim solved by the present invention is to make more attraction to piece tobacco products and to increase consumers demand, simultaneously improving their consumers properties.
  • the aim in view is achieved by means of covering the piece tobacco products by individual shells made of material which surface bears, in most cases, images in the form of texts and/or pictures which shall be attractive to a consumer.
  • a part, at least, of tobacco products which are placed in common packing should be covered by individual shell, and at least a part of that shell shall have surfaces which bear images.
  • Such images shall be not identical in preferred mode of realization of the method.
  • the additional shell has an aroma corresponding to that of the respective tobacco used for the production of the tobacco products.
  • Individual shells may cover the appropriate product either partially, or from all sides, forming a closed space inside the individual shell.
  • a cavity formed by the individual shell can be tight (hermetical).
  • the "individual shell” means a shell covering a finished tobacco product having already the wrapping of tissue paper (if any) which creates and supports the appropriate form of the product.
  • tobacco products of finely cut tobacco may have individual shells which necessarily bear images on their surfaces, if these shells cover products only partially, and may bear or not bear images on their surfaces, if they cover products from all sides.
  • the tobacco products which are compact rolls of tobacco leaves, may have individual shells necessarily bearing images on their surfaces, if these shells cover the products from all sides, and may bear or not bear images on their surfaces, if these shells cover the products only partially.
  • FIGS 1 to 4 show schematically the various types of patented tobacco products: a papyroce (Fig. 1), a traditional cigarette without the filter (Fig. 2), a traditional cigarette with the filter (Fig. 3), and a cigar (Fig. 4). These figures illustrate one of the possible modes of realization of the invention.
  • Cigarettes have part 1, filled in finally cut tobacco, and mouthpiece part 2 or nicotine filter 3. They are covered with wrapping 4 of the tissue paper creating and supporting the traditional form of these products. Cigars are wholly made as compact roll of tobacco leaves 5.
  • Each product is additionally covered from all sides by an individual shell 6, which size exceeds a little the size of the product itself.
  • Fig. 5 shows the unfolded surface of the external part of the individual shell 6. Images 7, which may be texts and/or pictures, are placed on this surface.
  • Fig. 6 shows the individual packing 8 of cigarettes 9 with filters placed in individual shells 4, which unfolded surfaces 10, 11, 12 bear non-identical images 13, 14, 15.
  • the "piece tobacco products” means, within the framework of this invention, cigarettes, cigars and similar products.
  • the individual shell shall cover a corresponding tobacco product, preferably from all sides, creating inside a closed space.
  • the shell should be made of a material which is denser than the tissue paper.
  • Images which are placed on a surface of the individual shell may be in the form of texts which shall be integral on sense and plot, and shall attract attention of a consumer and cause his (her) interest and positive emotions, by its content and form.
  • the leading principle of attracting consumers to images on individual shells of tobacco products is to make these images entertaining, interesting and useful from the point of view of the consumer. It can be made through the images content.
  • Images of only decorative character can be used as auxiliary elements of the design of an individual shell surface.
  • the "text” means the independent image bearing a readable information which occupies, at least; a part of a material surface; and the “picture” means all other independent images, except for textual.
  • the text may contain an information of educational, entertaining, instructive, training or other nature, which can cause consumer's interest and positive emotions.
  • the texts may, for example, contain riddles, proverbs, sayings, aphorisms, signs, wishes, parting words and similar texts.
  • Pictures may, for example, be puzzle ones, rebuses, chess tasks and etudes, conundrums.
  • the reverse surface of the shell may bears key words and answers to tasks.
  • the images, which are placed on an individual shell surface of the separate tobacco products shall be mainly not identical. They shall be regularly updated.
  • the individual shells may differ from each other by colour and texture.
  • Such individual shells may have an aroma of the corresponding brand of tobacco.
  • Tobacco products placed in individual shells which constitute the tight closed internal spaces may be sterilized, for example, by radiation method.
  • the proposed method of piece tobacco products packing includes placing a number of piece tobacco products in a common pack. At least, parts of the products are placed previously in individual shells. At least, part of the shells has surfaces which bear images in the form of pictures and/or texts.
  • the optimum mode of realization of the proposed method provides for placing in common packing the piece tobacco products covered with individual shells with only unequal images on their surfaces.
  • Piece tobacco products such as cigarettes, cigars and similar products are placed now in common packing which traditionally have an identical appearance, i.e., for example, any cigarette in a pack by no means differs from any other cigarette from this pack.
  • the basic inventive idea which is the basis of this invention, is to preserve the identical qualities of all piece tobacco products which are placed in a common packing, and to give unequal appearance, at least, to parts of the tobacco products.
  • the proposed piece tobacco product is a product which is made, at least partially, of finely cut tobacco, wrapped in tissue paper, and which is additionally covered by an individual shell, or it is a product which is a compact roll of tobacco leaves, also covered by an individual shell.
  • the individual shell can cover piece tobacco products only partially (the curved surface along all or part of the length of the product, closing or not closing one of a flat end face surface), or completely (all surfaces, including the end face surfaces), the last is preferable.
  • the tobacco product can be covered with the individual shell with one or several layers; the shell may be fastened on the product or can settle down freely.
  • said shell should be made of a material, which is denser than the tissue paper.
  • a paper based material is preferable, but any other material may be used, in particular, it may be cellophane or foil.
  • the size of the shell should exceed the size of piece tobacco products so to allow to open the individual shell without touching the piece tobacco product itself, and freely extract it from the individual shell.
  • images shall be placed on the individual shell surface or on a part of it.
  • the images shall be in the form of pictures and/or texts completed in a sense and plot, which contents and form may attract a consumer's attention and cause his positive emotions.
  • the piece tobacco products formed of a finely cut tobacco may have individual shells with or without images on the shells surfaces.
  • the images on the shells surfaces may or may not be present.
  • the tobacco products which are compact rolls of tobacco leaves, shall be covered by the individual shells bearing or not bearing images on their surfaces.
  • the images on the shells surfaces may or may not be present.
  • Known tobacco products of finely cut tobacco may have individual shells which cover the product partially, but which bear no images on its surfaces; and the known tobacco products which are compact rolls of tobacco leaves may have individual shells covering products from all sides, but which bear no images on the surfaces.
  • tobacco products from finely cut tobacco covered by individual shells from all sides, and tobacco products which are compact rolls of tobacco leaves covered with individual shells only partially, are not described at all.
  • a particular semantic content is the main characteristic of the images on surfaces of individual shells. It is the basic element called to increase attractiveness of the products.
  • the images which may be texts and/or pictures shall positively influence the consumer's mood; they shall be useful, interesting and attractive to him.
  • the text may contain an information of educational, entertaining, instructive, reference, or other nature, which may be positively perceived by a consumer and cause the consumer's positive emotions.
  • proverbs sayings, aphorisms, short poems or fragments of poems and prose may be cited, interesting facts and observations may be indicated, advice may be given, wishes and parting words may be expressed.
  • Pictures may, for example, be puzzle ones, rebuses, chess tasks and etudes, or conundrums.
  • the reverse surface of the shell may bear key words or answers to tasks, indications of authorship and titles of literary works, which (or which fragments) are placed on the face surface of the shell.
  • the images on surfaces of individual shells of piece tobacco products may contain images of decorative nature to augment the images bearing semantic sense.
  • Patterns, vignettes, ornaments, abstract figures, other works of decorative art may be used as the images of decorative nature.
  • Images may be present on surfaces of individual shells of tobacco products which simultaneously include texts and pictures.
  • Individual shells may have different colour and (or) texture; they may have an aroma of corresponding brand of tobacco.
  • the individual shell covers piece tobacco product from all sides and make it tight, such product may be prepared sterile by means of sterilization, for example, by a radiation method.
  • the proposed method of piece tobacco products packing consists in that a number of piece tobacco products are placed in a common packing. At least, part of piece tobacco products are placed in individual shells. At least, part of the shells bear images in the form of pictures and/or texts having a content which shall be attractive to a consumer.
  • the proposed method of packing shall be considered as being used also in a case, when even a minimal part of packed piece tobacco products is represented by piece tobacco products covered by individual shells, as it is described above.
  • surfaces of the individual shells of piece tobacco products packed in a common pack must bear unequal images.
  • images inequality means the non-coincidence of the complete corresponding images, though separate elements of the images may coincide.
  • the images on surfaces of the individual shells of tobacco products in common packing would be linked logically, for example, by a common idea, by a uniform subject, or by another in a similar way.
  • the principle of inequality of the images on surfaces of individual shells of tobacco products which lies in the foundation of the proposed method, has, ideally, the purpose that a consumer using any tobacco product will receive various information placed on surfaces of individual shells.
  • a consumer buys the next common packing of such products, he (she) would receive the block piece of tobacco products, which individual shells would bear images different from the images which were placed on surfaces of individual shells in the earlier acquired packs.
  • the preferred mode of realization of the proposed method provides for placing in a common pack only such products which are covered by additional individual shells with non-repeating images on their surfaces.
  • Principles of completing packs by piece tobacco products having individual shells with images on their surfaces may vary, in particular, they may be thematic or topical.
  • Packs of tobacco products provided for the sale may have an information on surfaces of individual shells of tobacco products which relates to the history of corresponding kinds of sports, to prominent sportsmen, to sports successes of playing commands.
  • the mode of packing of the piece tobacco products will have certain advantages when products will be covered from all sides by multi-colored individual shells and placed in a pack in such a manner that the face parts of products having a different color would form some pattern after opening the pack.
  • the additional individual shell had covered the product from all sides. The sizes of this individual shell exceeded the sizes of the product, so that the cigarette can be freely extracted from the additional individual shell after the shell opening.
  • the individual shell was painted, and a part of its external surface bore the textual fragment which was one of the proverbs about work.
  • Cigarettes each of which were covered by such additional individual shell, were placed in a common pack in such a manner that in any pack there were cigarettes with individual shells of different colours, and the proverbs on their surface did not repeat.
  • the information placed on the individual shell surface becomes accessible to a review after the cigarette extraction and after the shell was unfolded.
  • a piece tobacco product being papyroce was made partially of finely cut tobacco wrapped in tissue paper; it had a mouthpiece portion which is free from the tobacco.
  • the product was additional covered by the individual shell of a material which is denser, than the tissue paper.
  • the additional shell contacted directly the tissue paper wrapping.
  • the papyroce had been covered by the individual shell almost on all curved surfaces and on an end face of the mouthpiece portion.
  • a papyroce end face on the part of its portion which is filled in by the tobacco, and some adjacent part of the lateral part remained free from the shell and this free part is used for the papyroce extraction from the individual shell.
  • the individual shell covered the papyroce by several layers, which number depends on the volume of information placed on its surface.
  • An external layer of the individual shell was fixed by glue drops.
  • the shell having such design keeps the form and not to be opened spontaneously during a storage.
  • the shell was painted, it had an aroma of that brand of tobacco, which was used for manufacture of the given papyroces, and all its external side bore picture which was some rebus.
  • the papyroces each of which was covered by such additional individual shell, were placed in a common pack in such a manner that in a pack there were papyroces with the individual shells of different colour, and the rebuses placed on their surfaces did not repeat.
  • the information placed on the individual shell becomes accessible to a review after the papyroce extraction, removal of a face part of the shell and after the shell was unfolded.
  • a piece tobacco product being a cigarette with a nicotine filter was formed partially of finely cut tobacco wrapped in tissue paper; it ended by the nicotine filter.
  • the cigarette was covered by an additional individual shell of a material which was denser than the tissue paper.

The sizes of the additional shell exceed the sizes of the cigarette so to allow to remove the end part of the shell, not touching the cigarette and to extract it freely from the individual shell, which covers the cigarette in several layers.
  • the shell may or may not be painted; its external surface shall bear the text and corresponding picture concerning the signs about the weather.
  • Each cigarette was covered by the additional individual shell. They were placed in a common pack in such a manner, that face surfaces of individual shells of different colour made some pattern which will be accessible to a review after opening the pack, and the individual images on the shells did not repeat.
  • An individual shell covered the cigar from all sides, including both end faces. The sizes of the individual shell exceed the sizes of the cigar, so as to allow to remove the face parts of the shell, not touching the cigar and to extract it freely from the individual shell.
