Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cigarette pack and blanks therefore.
  • the present invention relates to a hinged-cover cigarette pack having an improved closing mechanism.
  • Hinged-lid cigarette boxes made of varying thicknesses of cardboard are known. Typically, these packs comprise lids which open from the top and allow a user to access cigarettes which are situated inside the box.
  • a hinge-cover cigarette pack which comprises:
  • the inner box is an octagonal parallelepiped having a top face, a bottom face, a front face, a rear face, two side face and four bevel faces; and the cover being fixed to both the rear face of the inner box and, via the linking element, to one of the bevel faces of the inner box.
  • the cover when closed, is essentially of the shape of an octagonal parallelepiped having a top wall, a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall, two side walls and three bevel walls; the rear wall of the cover being arrange to be fixed to the rear face of the inner box.

  • the above hinge-cover cigarette pack further comprises:
  • the hinge-cover cigarette pack of any of the preceding claims further comprises:
  • the present invention further provides a blank for producing the above inner box, which blank comprises:
  • the first front panel is provided with a first aperture for accessing the interior of the inner box and the second front panel is provided with a second aperture for accessing the interior of the box, the first aperture having smaller dimensions than the second aperture.
  • the second aperture is covered by a removable panel made of the same material as the inner box.
  • the present invention also provides a blank for producing the above cover, which blank comprises:
  • the present invention provides several advantages over the prior art. For example, because the linking element of the present invention biases the relative position of the cover and the inner pack in a semi-closed position, the pack will close in a two-step action, which will give the impression to the user that pack of high quality.

  • Figure 3 also shows the bevelled edge 16 of the inner pack 1.
  • the rear face 20 of cover 2 is substantially identical in dimensions to the rear face (not shown) of the inner pack 1, though in other embodiments these elements may be of different dimensions.
  • the rear face 20 of the cover 2 defines one of two sides of the rear wall of cover 2, the other side of which (not shown) is fixed to the rear face (not shown) of the inner pack 1.
  • the lip 21, which is part of the cover 2 is also fixed to the bevelled edge 16 of the inner pack 1.

  • An aperture A2 is formed in the surface define by the front face 25 and the top face 24 in order to provide access to the cigarettes inside the pack.
  • Other materials, such as removable metallic wrappers, can also be used to further cover the cigarettes.
  • the surface defined by the front face 25 and top face 24 is part of second front panel 32 and second top panel 35 (see Figure 6 ), beneath which is a surface defined by first front panel 30 and first top panel 34, which comprises an aperture A1 of slightly smaller dimensions to the aperture found in the front face 25 and top face 24.
  • the difference in the dimensions of aperture A1 and aperture A2 allows the front face 71 of the second front panel 30 and the top face 70 of the second top panel 34 to be seen when the cover 2 of the pack 10 is open, thereby producing the impression that the pack is double walled.
  • Figure 4 also shows linking element 28 and linking element 29 which are connected to both the cover 2 and the inner pack 1 in order to bias the relative arrangement of cover 2 and inner pack 1 in a first, semi-open position or in a fully closed position, as described in detail below.

  • linking element 28 and linking element 29 extend from front inner face 27 of the cover 2 to the front left-hand side bevel 72 of the inner pack 1.
  • the linking mechanism of a pack in accordance with the present invention will result in the pack being biased towards not only the closed position, but also to a semi-open position. Therefore, when the pack is closed, it is done so in two distinct stages. This resistive closing action further serves to give the impression to the user that the pack is of superior quality.
