Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a novel container, which finds particular application as a container for elongate smoking articles such as cigarettes.
  • a container having a flat wall, a substantially opposed curved wall and a cross section consisting of a curved portion and a straight portion between the ends of the curved portion, the container comprising: a shell; and a receptacle within the shell and having an opening therein, the receptacle being moveable between a closed position, in which the opening of the receptacle is covered by the shell and an open position in which the receptacle projects from the shell at least partially exposing the opening.
  • the provision of a curved wall at the rear of the container results in a more ergonomic container design, which fits more comfortably and snugly in the palm of the hand while the container is opened or closed and while items within the container are removed.
  • the curved portion of the cross section of the container is a simple convex curve and more preferably, a semi-circular curve.
  • the cross section of the container may be, for example, a semi-ellipse, semi-circle or semi-oval, or may be a variants of such shapes in which the curved edge comprises one or more minor straight portions.
  • the inner transverse cross section of the shell is of substantially the same dimensions as the outer transverse cross section of the receptacle so that in the closed position, the receptacle fits snugly inside the shell with the outer surface of the receptacle in contact with the inner surface of the shell.
  • frictional forces generated between the outer surface of the receptacle and the inner surface of the shell resist movement of the receptacle relative to the shell between the closed position and the open position, thereby advantageously preventing opening and closing of the container without the application of a positive force by the consumer.
  • the receptacle is mounted within the shell for rotational movement relative thereto between the closed position and the open position.
  • the receptacle rotates about an axis extending across the flat wall of the container between opposed end walls of the container.
  • the axis runs along an edge of a flat wall of the shell.
  • a cut-out is provided in the flat wall of the shell along an edge opposed to the said edge along which the axis runs.
  • a consumer may advantageously apply a rotational force to the receptacle through the cut-out portion in the flat wall of the shell in order to move the receptacle relative thereto from the closed position to the open position.
  • the receptacle is slidably moveable between the closed position and the open position.
  • the opening is in a flat wall of the receptacle.
  • the receptacle comprises a flap in an end wall thereof adjacent the opening, the flap being pivotable between a closed position, in which the flap closes the said end of the receptacle, and an open position, in which the interior of the receptacle is accessible through the said end.
  • the flap closes the end of the receptacle so that elongate smoking articles or other consumer goods contained therein are not exposed.
  • the flap may be moved by the consumer from the closed position to the open position in order to facilitate the removal of consumer goods from the receptacle.
  • the flap covers at least a portion of the opening adjacent the end of the receptacle.
  • the receptacle of a container according to the invention contains elongate smoking articles such as cigarettes
  • the provision of a flap that extends over at least a portion of the opening adjacent the end of the receptacle advantageously protects the ends of the smoking articles.
  • the receptacle rotates about an edge of the flat wall of the container.
  • the straight edge is the straight edge of an end wall of the container and preferably, the receptacle and the shell are connected along the edge about which the receptacle rotates.
  • At least one cut-out is provided along a straight edge of the curved wall of the shell. More preferably, a pair of opposed cut-outs are provided along opposite edges of the curved wall of the shell.
  • a consumer may grasp the receptacle through the cut-out(s) provided along the edge(s) of the shell in order to pivot the receptacle relative to the shell from the closed position to the open position.
  • the provision of one or more cut-outs in the shell thereby advantageously facilitates movement of the receptacle from the closed position to the open position by the consumer.
  • the opening of the receptacle is located at an end of the receptacle and is defined by the edges of flat and curved walls of the receptacle, wherein the flat wall of the receptacle extends beyond the curved wall thereof at the said end.
  • Variation in the height of the edges of the receptacle that define the opening advantageously facilitates removal of elongate smoking articles or other consumer goods from the receptacle in the open position.
  • Containers according to the invention find particular application as packs for elongate smoking articles such as, for example, cigarettes, cigars or cigarillos. It will be appreciated that through appropriate choices of the dimensions of the shell and receptacle thereof, containers according to the invention for different numbers of conventional size, king size, super-king size, slim or super-slim cigarettes may be designed.
  • the shell and receptacle of the container may be formed from any suitable materials including, but not limited to, for example cardboard, paperboard, plastic, metal, or any combination thereof.
  • the shell and receptacle of the container are formed from folded laminar blanks, more preferably from folded laminar cardboard blanks.
  • the external surfaces of the shell and receptacle may be printed, embossed, debossed or otherwise embellished (for example, using labels or stickers) with manufacturer or brand logos, trade marks, slogans and other consumer information and indicia.
  • the smoking articles are preferably wrapped in an inner liner of, for example, metal foil or metallised paper.
  • containers according to the invention may be shrink wrapped or otherwise over wrapped with a transparent polymeric film of, for example, polyethylene or polypropylene in a conventional manner.
  • the over wrapper may include a tear tape.
  • a first blank for forming the receptacle or the shell of a container comprising a receptacle and a shell, the blank comprising a first wall panel, foldably connected to a second wall panel, and a third wall panel having a curved edge and a straight edge between the ends of the curved edge, the third wall panel being foldably connected along its straight edge to the first wall panel.
  • a second blank for forming the receptacle or the shell of a container comprising an housing and a shell, the blank comprising: a first wall panel, a second wall panel and a third wall panel, the second and third wall panels each having a curved edge and a straight edge between the ends of the curved edge and being foldably connected along their curved edges to respective opposite edges of the first wall panel.
  • 'longitudinal' is used throughout the following description of the embodiments to mean the direction parallel to the axis of the elongate smoking articles inside the container.
  • 'transverse' is used throughout the following description of the embodiments to mean the direction orthogonal to the axis of the elongate smoking articles inside the container.
  • a container 2 of cigarettes 26 according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figures 1 and 2 .
