Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a novel side-opening container according to the preamble of claim 1, which finds particular application as a "wing" pack for elongate smoking articles such as cigarettes.
  • US-A-3 881 559 discloses a package for cigarettes corresponding to the features of the preamble of claim 1, comprising an outer shell with an inner shell mounted therein for swinging movement relative to the outer shell.
  • the inner shell is rotatable to and from a first position within the outer shell and a second position angularly disposed relative to the outer shell such that a portion of the top of the inner shell is exposed laterally of the outer shell to provide access to the cigarettes.
  • An abutment means defined by an abutment surface on a tab member, which is integrally formed with a member of a top panel of the outer shell, is provided on the under surface of the top panel of the outer shell for engagement with the top edge of the inner shell to limit the rotation of the inner shell when it has reached its second position.
  • US-A-5 067 615 discloses a box with a hinged portion for opening and reclosing the box.
  • a slot-like opening provided in a flap, which is folded so that it lies on the inside top surface of the hinged portion of the box, engages an edge of a tab, which is provided on an additional section affixed to the non-hinged portion of the box.
  • the edge of the tab in its relaxed condition, extends above the plane of the top surface of the box after the hinged portion is closed, the tab provides a discernible tactile and audible "snap" action when the hinged portion of the box is closed and reopened.
  • EP-A0 928 751 discloses a package for smoking articles comprising a body portion, a lid portion hingedly connected to the body portion and a lifting device for lifting articles arranged in a lifting zone.
  • the lifting device comprises an article lifter arranged within the body portion adjacent to the lifting zone, which is moveable between an inactive position in which the article lifter is arranged close to the bottom of the body portion and an active position in which the article lifter is arranged at a distance from the bottom of the body portion.
  • a side-opening container comprising: an outer shell; and an inner shell mounted in the outer shell for pivotal movement relative thereto between a closed position, in which the interior of the inner shell is not accessible, and an open position, in which at least a portion of the interior of the inner shell is accessible, characterised in that the container further comprises a plurality of substantially parallel corrugations extending from an inner surface of a top wall of the outer shell, wherein the plurality of substantially parallel corrugations are engaged by an upper portion of the side wall of the inner shell to produce a sound during movement of the inner shell from the closed position to the open position.
  • the production of a sound during movement of the inner shell from the closed position to the open position advantageously provides the consumer with an audible indication of opening of the container.
  • the sound produced on opening may, for example, advantageously provide the consumer with an audible indication of tampering with the contents of the container.
  • the plurality of substantially parallel corrugations are also engaged by an upper portion of the side wall of the inner shell to produce a sound during movement of the inner shell from the open position to the closed position.
  • the production of a sound during movement of the inner shell from the open position to the closed position advantageously also provides the consumer with an audible indication of closure of the container.
  • the production of a sound upon closure of the container may, for example, advantageously be employed to provide the consumer with an audible indication that the container has been completely and/or correctly closed.
  • the corrugations are substantially perpendicular to the side wall of the inner shell.
  • the side-opening container further comprises lifting means mounted in the inner shell for, in use, raising contents of the container housed in a portion of the interior of the inner shell that is accessible in the open position relative to the inner shell.
  • the inclusion of lifting means advantageously enables the consumer to more easily remove elongate smoking articles such as cigarettes or other elongate consumer goods housed in the inner shell from the side-opening container.
  • the outer shell and inner shell may be made of any suitable material, including but not limited to, for example, cardboard, plastic and/or metal, and may be formed from a single folded laminar blank or from one or more separate, folded laminar blanks.
  • the outer shell and inner shell are each formed from a separate, single cardboard blank.
