Definitions

  • This invention relates to packaging for tobacco.
  • the invention relates to a packet and a blank for making the packet.
  • cut tobacco that is used by consumers in roll-your-own (RYO) products is packaged in tobacco pouches.
  • the consumer removes a portion of tobacco from the pouch before constructing a smoking article, such as a cigarette, with use of a separate cigarette paper.
  • More recently packaging has been developed wherein tobacco is contained in a packet having similar dimensions and characteristics to a conventional hinged-lid cigarette pack.
  • An advantage of such a packet is that the packet is suitable for containing tobacco and after rolling the cigarettes they can be stored in the packet.
  • a first aspect of the present invention provides a packet for containing a tobacco product, the packet comprising: a container portion having a top surface with an opening for providing access inside the container portion; a lid, hingedly attached to the container portion, wherein the lid is operable to cover the opening when the lid is in a closed position and to be substantially coplanar with the top wall when the Hd is in an open position; and a web of panels attached to the lid, wherein when the Hd is closed the web is folded to be substantially wholly contained between the Hd and the top wall and when the Hd is open the web is unfolded and it is substantially coplanar with the Hd and the top surface.
  • the unfolded web provides an extended surface area onto which tobacco may be dispensed and upon which tobacco may rest whilst the consumer is rolling a smoking article.
  • the extended surface area can also provide a surface upon which the consumer can roll a smoking article.
  • the web of panels suitably comprises a plurality of shaped panels that are joined to adjacent panels at lines of weakening.
  • the arrangement of the lines of weakening and the panels is such that the panels fold in opposite directions on closing the packet.
  • One of the plurality of panels may be substantially the same shape and size as the top or footprint of the packet such that the web is easily located and attached to the inside surface of the lid.
  • the web of panels is also attached to the top surface of the container, thereby limiting travel of the lid. When open, the lid and web of panels are substantially coplanar with the top surface. Attachment of the web of panels to both the lid and to the top surface of the container restricts the extent of travel of the lid.
  • the packet is intended to contain cut tobacco, which may be contained in a pouch.
  • the pouch may be a laminated plastic pouch having a resealable label that covers an opening on the pouch.
  • the opening on the pouch is aligned with the opening on the packet so that tobacco can be removed from the pouch and packet.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a closed packet
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of packet of Figure 1 shown in an open position
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of the packet of Figures 1 and 2, viewed from one side and shown partially open;
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of the packet of Figures 1, 2 and 3 shown partially closed;
  • Figure 5 is a plan view of a first blank for making the packet of Figures 1 to 4;
  • Figure 6 is a plan view of a second blank for making the packet Figures 1 to 4;
  • Figure 7a is a perspective view of an open packet, according to a second embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 7b is a perspective view of an open packet, according to a third embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 8 is a plan view of a first blank for making the packet Figure 7a.
  • Figure 9 is a plan view of a second blank for making the packet Figure 7a.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a packet B in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
  • the packet B may be made of any suitable material, for example, paper, plastic or card.
  • packet B is illustrated in a closed position.
  • the packet B comprises a container portion 1 and a lid 12.
  • the container portion 1 comprises two side walls 2 and 4, a front wall 6, a rear wall 8 (not visible in Figure 1), a top wall 10 and a bottom wall 9 (not visible in Figure
  • the packet B is intended to contain cut tobacco, which may be used to make "roll your own” (RYO) or make-your-own smoking articles such as cigarettes.
  • the tobacco may be contained in a pouch (not shown) located within the container portion 1.
  • the pouch may be a laminated plastic pouch and may have a resealable label that covers an opening on the pouch.
  • the pouch can be positioned in the container so that the opening on the pouch corresponds with an opening in the packet (as discussed in more detail below), thereby allowing tobacco to be removed from the pouch through the packet opening.
  • the side walls 2 and 4 are disposed opposite and parallel to each other, the front and rear walls 6 and 8 are disposed opposite and parallel to each other, and the top and bottom walls 9 and 10 are disposed opposite and parallel to each other.
  • the relative dimensions of corresponding panels are such that when the Hd is in the closed position, the packet B takes the form of a regular rectangular box.
  • the length of the pack L is defined as the length of the side panels 2 and 4 and the width of the packet is defined as the dimension W of the front and rear panels 6 and 8.
  • the length L of the packet in the embodiment illustrated is shown to be greater than the width W.
  • the packet is shown to have these relative dimensions for illustrative purposes only.
  • the packet B has similar dimensions to a conventional cigarette packet, which may be displayed in a vending cabinet or alternatively sold from a vending machine, and which may contain cigarettes that are 83mm long or cigarettes that are 100mm long (for example).
  • Other known packet sizes and shapes are suitable for packet B.
  • packet B may have rounded or bevelled edges, rather than the sharp edges shown in Figure 1.
  • a lid 12 is integral with the container 1 and is hinged about an upper edge 13 that is defined by the coincident edges of the rear wall 8, the top wall 10 and the lid 12.
  • the Hd 12 is operable to rotate about the edge 13 between a closed position ( Figure 1) and a fully open position ( Figure 2).
  • a tab 14 is hingedly attached to the centre of the edge of the Hd 12 opposite the upper edge 13 of the rear wall 8. The tab 14 is operable to engage in a slot 15 at the junction of the front wall 6 with the top wall 10 when the lid 12 is closed.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the packet B in an open position in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
  • the packet B further comprises a web portion Q comprising a plurality of panels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33 that are attached via suitable means to both the top wall 10 and to the lid 12.
  • One of the panels 27 is dimensioned substantially the same as the Hd 12 and facilitates fixing the web portion Q to the packet B.
  • another one of the panels 20 is dimensioned substantially the same as the top wall 10 of the packet B and has a hole 16 that provides access to the contents of the container.
  • the plurality of panels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33 are each adjoined to a neighbouring panel such that on closing the packet B (see Figure 3) the web portion Q folds inwards so as to be substantially wholly contained between the lid 12 and the top wall 10. Conversely, on opening the packet B (see Figure 2) the web portion Q extends outwards.
  • the position of the lid 12 and the web portion Q in the open position are such that both are substantially coplanar with the top wall 10 of the packet.
  • the web portion Q is operable to limit the travel of the lid portion 12.
  • the lid 12 is substantially coplanar with the top wail 10 and provides two wing-like portions that extend beyond the edges of the lid 12 and the container portion 1 in the open position, thereby providing an enlarged surface area that is larger than the surface area of the lid 12 and the top wall 10.
  • the extended surface may provide the consumer with a table upon which to roll a cigarette.
  • FIG 2 broken lines are used to illustrate the lines on the web portion Q about which it folds to be contained between the lid 12 and the top wall 10 in the closed position.
  • the dashed lines a' to s' each represent lines of weakening on the web portion Q to facilitate folding.
  • the lines of weakening a' to s' may be provided by crease lines, by lines of perforations, by lines of scoring or other lines of weakening.
  • the lines of weakening a' to s' are arranged such that the web folds generally converge on a point 34, which coincides substantially with the centre of the rear edge 13 about which the lid 12 rotates.
  • the hole 16 in panel 20 allows the consumer to grasp panel 20 and raise it so as to gain access to the contained tobacco via hole 11.
  • the hole 16 also allows tobacco to be easily swept back into the pouch/container without having to raise the panel 20 of the web portion Q.
  • tobacco may be removed from the container portion 1 of the packet B through both hole 16 and hole 11 (if hole 16 is suitably dimensioned).
  • the web portion Q when fanned out provides a surface upon which tobacco can rest whilst the consumer makes a roll-your-own or make-your-own smoking article.
  • the nature of the folding of the web portion Q facilitates moving any unused tobacco to the centre area of the web portion Q as the lid 12 is closed, which allows the consumer to sweep any unused tobacco back into the container, therefore minimising loss and waste of tobacco.
  • Panel 20 is attached to the inner lid panel 35 and rests on top of the top wall 10.
  • Panel 27 is attached to the inside surface of the lid 12.
  • the remaining panels are arranged symmetrically between panels 27 and panel 35 and extend therefrom in the form of two wing- like structures.
  • the panels 21 to 26 and 28 to 33 each have a triangular or a quadrilateral form with each panel 21 to 26 and 28 to 33 being joined to at least one neighbouring panel by a fold line a' - s'.
  • Panel 33 is substantially triangular-shaped and is attached to panel 20 along one edge by fold line n'. Panel 33 also attaches to another substantially triangular shaped panel 32 at an edge m' that links to fold line n'. Panel 32 adjoins panel 31 at one edge 1', which links to edge m'. Panel 31 is substantially quadrilateral and adjoins panel 35 about one edge p', and adjoins to a quadrilateral-shaped panel 30 about edge k'. Panel 30 also adjoins panels 27 and 29 about edges s' and j' respectively. Panel 29 is substantially triangular shaped and adjoins panel 28 about edge i'. Panel 28 is triangular shaped and adjoins panel 27 about edge h' to complete one of the wing-like portions of the web portion Q.
  • Panels 21 to 26 are provided in a symmetrical arrangement to panels 28 to 33.
  • Panel 21 is substantially triangular-shaped and is attached to panel 20 along one edge by fold line a' and panel 21 attaches to another substantially triangular shaped panel 22 at a linked edge b'.
  • Panel 22 adjoins panel 23 at one edge c', which is linked to edge b'.
  • Panel 23 is substantially quadrilateral and adjoins panel 35 about one edge q', and adjoins another quadrilateral-shaped panel 24 about edge d'.
  • Panel 24 also adjoins panels 25 and 27 about edges e' and r' respectively.
  • Panel 25 is substantially triangular-shaped and adjoins panel 26 about edge f .
  • Panel 26 is substantially triangular-shaped and adjoins panel 27 about edge g' to complete the other wing-like portion of the web portion Q.
  • the free (outer) edges of panels 22 to 26 and panels 28 to 32 are substantially curved such that the overall shape of the web portion Q is substantially circular.
  • the web portion Q is illustrated as expanding about a centre point 34.
  • the hole 16 provided in the inner lid panel 35 and the panel 20 of the web portion is aligned with, but is smaller in size than, the opening 11 provided in the top wall 12.
  • the hole 16 allows the consumer to grasp panel 20 and raise it so as to gain access to the tobacco via the opening 11 and also allows any excess tobacco to be swept from the web portion Q back into the pouch/container.
  • the opening 11 is generally larger than the hole 16 and is preferably large enough to allow a pouch containing tobacco to be inserted into the container portion. Therefore, the packet B may be reusable.
  • the pouch (not illustrated) may be fixed inside the container, for example by adhesive provided on the bottom surface of the pouch and/or on the inside face of the bottom wall of the container portion.
  • Figures 3 and 4 each illustrate the web portion Q partially folded and are illustrative of how the panels 20 to 33 fold relative to and interleave with each other such that when the lid 12 is in the closed position the web portion Q is substantially wholly contained between the top wall 10 and the Hd 12.
  • the reference numerals a' to s' applied to the fold lines of the web portion Q as illustrated in Figure 2 also apply to the fold lines of the web portion Q in Figures 3 and 4, but they have been omitted so as not to obscure how the web portion Q folds to be contained between the top wall 10 and the lid 12.
  • the panel 20 is shown raised from the top wall 10.
  • the top wall 10 includes an aperture 11 that allows access to the contents of the container.
  • the aperture 11 may initially be covered or closed by a removable panel, e.g. which occupies hole 11.
  • a consumer can tear off (or open) the panel to gain access to the contents.
  • Such a panel helps to strengthen the pack (before use), and also provides a tamper evidence feature, whereby removal or partial breaking of panel would indicate that the pack and possibly its contents might have been tampered with.
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of the packet from the front and shows that in the partially closed condition both sides of the web portion Q are folded by way of a concertina fold, wherein the panels are alternatively folded relative to each other in opposite directions and on one side of the packet B.
  • the panel edges i', k' and m' provide inner folds towards the centre of the packet B
  • panel edges h', j', 1', and n' provide external folds that are formed close to the edges of the packet B.
  • the concertina fold on the opposite side of the packet B is formed by panel edges b', d' and f towards the centre line of the packet B and panel edges a', c', e' and g' as external folds.
  • Figures 5 and 6 illustrate examples of two blanks that are folded and combined to form the packet B as illustrated in Figures 1 to 4.
  • the blank 100 is foldable to form the container portion 1 and the lid 12 of the packet B, and the second blank Q, as illustrated in Figure 6, provides the web portion Q that is attachable to the first blank 100.
  • the blank 100 comprises a plurality of adjoined panels that are arranged such that they are foldable relative to each other to form the container portion 1, the lid 12 and the inner lid 35 of the packet B ( Figures 1 to 4).
  • Main panels 12, 8, 9, 6, 10 and 35 are connected in series and have extension flaps extending from their free edges to facilitate construction of the packet by overlapping with corresponding panels or to provide suitable reinforcement in the erected packet where desired.
  • the blank 100 comprises one panel
