Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine des cahiers de papiers à cigarettes.The present invention relates to the field of cigarette paper books.

Les cahiers de papiers à cigarettes sont formés d'un emballage comprenant une réserve de feuilles de papiers à cigarettes conçues pour être mises aisément à disposition d'un utilisateur qui souhaite réaliser par lui-même des cigarettes en roulant un volume choisi de tabac dont il dispose en vrac par ailleurs, dans une feuille respective.The cigarette paper books are formed of a package comprising a reserve of sheets of cigarette papers designed to be readily available to a user who wishes to make cigarettes himself by rolling a selected volume of tobacco which he loose in a separate sheet.

A cet effet comme on le voit sur la figure 1 annexée, la plupart des cahiers de papiers à cigarettes connus comprennent un emballage cartonné 10 définissant une chambre 12 dans laquelle la réserve de papiers à cigarettes 20 est disposée, pliés en V et enchevêtrés tête-bêche deux à deux. La chambre 12 possède une fenêtre 14 par laquelle la feuille supérieure 22 est accessible de sorte que l'extraction de la feuille supérieure 22 entraîne automatiquement la feuille sous-jacente dans la fenêtre 14 pour une mise à disposition ultérieure et ainsi de suite. Le plus souvent la chambre 12 et la feuille émergente 22 sont protégées par un rabat ou volet de protection 16 pivotant venu de matière, par pliage, avec le cartonnage constituant ladite chambre.For this purpose as we see on the figure 1 attached, most known cigarette paper notebooks include a cardboard package 10 defining a chamber 12 in which the cigarette paper bank 20 is disposed, V-folded and entangled head-to-tail in pairs. The chamber 12 has a window 14 through which the topsheet 22 is accessible so that extraction of the topsheet 22 automatically drives the underlying sheet into the window 14 for subsequent provisioning and so on. Most often the chamber 12 and the emergent sheet 22 are protected by a flap or protective flap 16 rotated integrally, by folding, with the carton constituting said chamber.

Différentes variantes du cahier illustré sur la figure 1 existent, par exemple des cahiers comprenant deux réserves de feuilles, afin d'augmenter la capacité de réserve d'un cahier sans augmenter son épaisseur.Different variants of the illustrated notebook on the figure 1 exist, for example notebooks comprising two reserves of sheets, to increase the reserve capacity of a notebook without increasing its thickness.

Par ailleurs généralement chaque feuille est munie d'une bande longitudinale de colle permettant à l'utilisateur de refermer en toute sécurité la feuille sous forme d'un fourreau, après activation de la colle par humidification.Furthermore, generally each sheet is provided with a longitudinal strip of glue allowing the user to securely close the sheet in the form of a sheath, after activation of the glue by humidification.

De tels cahiers de papiers à cigarettes sont connus de très nombreuses décennies.Such notebooks of cigarette papers are known for many decades.

Ils donnent globalement satisfaction.They give overall satisfaction.

Cependant les cahiers de papiers à cigarettes connus souffrent d'un inconvénient majeur. Ils ne permettent pas à l'utilisateur de connaître aisément le nombre de feuilles restantes dans le cahier. Et il arrive fréquemment qu'un utilisateur croyant disposer encore d'une réserve conséquente de papiers, se retrouve en pénurie, arrivant au terme de sa réserve. Sur le plan commercial une telle situation est désastreuse.However, notebooks of known cigarette papers suffer from a major disadvantage. They do not allow the user to easily know the number of leaves remaining in the notebook. And he It often happens that a believing user still has a substantial reserve of papers, is in short supply, reaching the end of his reserve. In commercial terms, such a situation is disastrous.

On a tenté de pallier cette difficulté en introduisant dans les cahiers de papiers à cigarettes un feuillet ou signet spécial formé d'un feuillet en papier de nature différente des papiers à cigarettes, typiquement un feuillet épais de couleur, vers le fond de la réserve, par exemple dix feuilles avant la fin de la réserve, afin d'alerter l'utilisateur sur l'imminence de la fin du cahier.
Un exemple d'un cahier de papiers à cigarettes de l'art antérieur est décrit dans le document FR-628530 .An attempt has been made to overcome this difficulty by introducing in the notebooks of cigarette papers a special slip or bookmark formed of a paper slip of a different nature from the cigarette papers, typically a thick sheet of color, towards the bottom of the reserve, for example ten sheets before the end of the reserve, to alert the user about the imminence of the end of the notebook.
An example of a prior art cigarette paper notebook is described in the document EN-628530 .

En variante on a tenté de réaliser dans l'emballage, une fenêtre permettant de voir l'épaisseur des feuilles restantes à l'intérieur du carnet de papiers.In a variant, an attempt has been made to produce a window in the package that makes it possible to see the thickness of the remaining sheets inside the paper book.

Cependant de tels moyens ne donnent pas totalement satisfaction. Ils entraînent un surcoût puisque le signet précité n'a aucune fonction dans le fumage proprement dit et est jeté lorsqu'il est atteint. Sur le plan écologique un tel signet ne donne pas non plus totalement satisfaction en ce sens qu'il est fréquemment jeté sur la place publique. Et enfin et surtout, il est fréquent qu'une fois le signet retiré, le propriétaire du cahier oublie l'état de son cahier ou encore, que si le signet est retiré par un utilisateur mais que le cahier est ensuite prêté à un autre utilisateur, ce dernier ignore totalement le nombre de feuilles restantes dans le cahier dont il dispose.However, such means do not give complete satisfaction. They entail an additional cost since the aforementioned bookmark has no function in the actual smoking and is discarded when it is reached. Ecologically such a bookmark also does not give complete satisfaction in that it is frequently thrown in the public square. And last but not least, it is common that once the bookmark removed, the owner of the notebook forgets the state of his notebook or, if the bookmark is removed by a user but the notebook is then loaned to another user , the latter completely ignores the number of leaves remaining in the notebook at his disposal.

La présente invention a maintenant pour objectif de proposer des moyens permettant de perfectionner les cahiers de papiers à cigarettes connus. La présente invention a en particulier pour objectif de proposer des moyens permettant de remplacer les systèmes connus précités de contrôle du nombre de feuilles restantes dans un cahier.The present invention now aims to provide means for improving the notebooks of known cigarette papers. The present invention particularly aims to provide means for replacing the aforementioned known systems for controlling the number of leaves remaining in a notebook.

L'objectif précité est atteint dans le cadre de la présente invention grâce à un cahier de papiers à cigarettes dans lequel, certaines au moins des feuilles de papiers à cigarettes, choisies vers la fin de la réserve, comportent un marquage visible dont la teneur permet à l'utilisateur d'identifier le nombre de feuilles restant dans le cahier.The aforementioned objective is achieved in the context of the present invention by means of a notebook of cigarette papers in which, at least some of the sheets of cigarette papers, chosen towards the end of the reserve, comprise a visible marking whose content allows the user to identify the number of leaves remaining in the notebook.

L'homme de l'art comprendra que la présente invention permet d'améliorer notablement le confort d'utilisation des cahiers de papiers à cigarettes dans la mesure où elle permet de connaître aisément, de manière certaine et sans opération ou manipulation particulières, le nombre de feuilles restantes dans le cahier.Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention makes it possible to significantly improve the comfort of use of the notebooks of cigarette papers insofar as it makes it possible to easily know, with certainty and without any particular operation or manipulation, the number leaves remaining in the notebook.

Dans le cadre de la présente invention, le marquage est de préférence placé sur la bande de colle. Ainsi il n'est plus visible une fois la cigarette roulée et ne perturbe en aucune façon l'usage par la suite.In the context of the present invention, the marking is preferably placed on the adhesive strip. Thus it is no longer visible once the cigarette rolled and does not in any way disturb the use thereafter.

Other features, objects and advantages of the present invention will appear on reading the detailed description which follows and with reference to the appended drawings given by way of non-limiting examples and in which:
  • the figure 1 previously described represents a notebook of cigarette papers according to the state of the art,
  • the figure 2 schematically represents a notebook of cigarette papers according to a first embodiment of the present invention,

  • the figure 7 schematically represents a notebook of cigarette papers according to another embodiment of the present invention.

On aperçoit sur la figure 2 annexée un cahier de papiers à cigarettes conforme à la présente invention. La structure générale de ce cahier comprenant un emballage 100 cartonné définissant une chambre 112 qui loge une réserve de papiers 150 émergeant par une fenêtre 114 et protégée par un volet de rabat 116 est connue en soi et ne sera donc pas décrite dans le détail par la suite. La présente invention n'est d'ailleurs pas limitée au mode de réalisation particulier représenté sur les figures annexées.We can see on the figure 2 attached a notebook of cigarette papers according to the present invention. The general structure of this notebook comprising a carton 100 defining a chamber 112 which houses a stock of papers 150 emerging through a window 114 and protected by a flap flap 116 is known per se and therefore will not not described in detail later. The present invention is also not limited to the particular embodiment shown in the accompanying figures.

Comme indiqué précédemment la présente invention se caractérise par le fait de marquer directement sur certaines au moins des feuilles de papier à cigarettes, un motif ou des motifs et/ou un texte ou des textes alphanumériques permettant à l'utilisateur d'identifier le nombre de feuilles restantes dans le cahier.As indicated above, the present invention is characterized by the fact of marking directly on at least some sheets of cigarette paper, a pattern or patterns and / or text or alphanumeric texts allowing the user to identify the number of leaves remaining in the notebook.

Un tel marquage est référencé 170 sur une feuille individuelle 160 sur les figures annexées.Such marking is referenced 170 on an individual sheet 160 in the accompanying figures.

Ce marquage 170 peut être réalisé par un dépôt d'encre sur le papier par tout moyen connu à ce jour dans l'impression du papier comme par exemple l'héliographie, la flexographie, ou l'impression jet d'encre. Il peut aussi être réalisé par brûlure ou perforation du papier par laser ou par un moyen mécanique de type embossage, ou perforation par aiguilles par exemple.This marking 170 can be achieved by depositing ink on the paper by any means known to date in the printing of paper such as, for example, heliography, flexography, or inkjet printing. It can also be achieved by burning or perforation of the paper by laser or by a mechanical means such as embossing, or perforation by needles for example.

Le marquage 170 peut être réalisé sur n'importe quelle partie de la feuille 160, comme on l'a schématisé sur la figure 3. Dans le cadre de l'invention, il est réalisé de préférence comme illustré sur la figure 4 sur la partie gommée 162 servant au collage de la cigarette. Ainsi comme on l'a indiqué précédemment et comme cela apparait à l'examen de la figure 5, le marquage 170 n'est plus visible une fois la cigarette réalisée et il ne perturbe pas l'esthétique final de la cigarette obtenue.The marking 170 can be made on any part of the sheet 160, as shown schematically on the figure 3 . In the context of the invention, it is preferably carried out as illustrated on the figure 4 on the gummed portion 162 for bonding the cigarette. Thus, as indicated above and as it appears in the examination of the figure 5 the marking 170 is no longer visible once the cigarette is made and it does not disturb the final aesthetics of the cigarette obtained.

Le lieu du marquage peut cependant être choisi d'une manière plus générale de sorte que :

  • ▪ Lorsque la feuille n'est pas extraite du cahier, le motif marqué 170 peut être visible parce qu'il est situé sur une partie de la feuille qui est sortie du cahier (voir figure 2 et 6) ou qui est visible à travers une fenêtre 118 (ouverture) de la couverture du cahier (voir figure 7),
  • ▪ ou encore le motif marqué 170 peut être visible uniquement lorsque la feuille est extraite du cahier.
The place of marking may, however, be chosen more generally so that:
  • ▪ When the sheet is not extracted from the notebook, the pattern marked 170 may be visible because it is located on a part of the sheet that came out of the notebook (see figure 2 and 6 ) or which is visible through a window 118 (opening) of the notebook cover (see figure 7 )
  • ▪ or the pattern marked 170 can be visible only when the sheet is extracted from the notebook.

Comme mentionné précédemment de préférence le marquage 170 est placé sur une partie de la feuille qui n'est plus visible lorsque la cigarette est roulée car la zone marquée est recouverte par du papier non marqué ou non perforé. Ainsi le marquage 170 est non visible, et ne modifie pas les caractéristiques de fumage de la cigarette roulée.As mentioned previously preferably the marking 170 is placed on a part of the sheet which is no longer visible when the cigarette is rolled because the marked area is covered with unlabelled or unperforated paper. Thus the marking 170 is not visible, and does not change the smoking characteristics of the rolled cigarette.

Le marquage 170 peut indiquer directement le nombre de feuilles restantes dans le carnet pour renseigner le consommateur sur la fin prochaine de son cahier comme illustré sur les figures 6 et 7.The marking 170 can directly indicate the number of leaves remaining in the notebook to inform the consumer about the end of his notebook as illustrated on the Figures 6 and 7 .

Le marquage peut apparaître de façon aléatoire, voire répétitive sur la longueur de chaque feuille concernée (voir figure 2), ou être phasé, c'est-à-dire être placé en un lieu précis, constant et répétitif des feuilles concernées, par exemple dans un angle des feuilles concernées, afin que l'emplacement du motif soit toujours au même endroit sur la feuille (voir figure 6).The marking may appear randomly or even repetitively over the length of each leaf concerned (see figure 2 ), or be phased, that is to say placed in a precise, constant and repetitive place of the sheets concerned, for example in an angle of the sheets concerned, so that the location of the pattern is always at the same place on the leaf (see figure 6 ).

Ainsi selon un mode de réalisation particulier de la présente invention, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, chaque cahier de papiers à cigarettes comporte trois feuilles correspondant aux rangs 6, 4 et 2 avant la fin du cahier et qui comportent sur une extrémité de la bande de colle, un marquage numérique « 6 », « 4 », puis « 2 ». Un tel marquage 170 permet d'attirer directement l'attention et est compréhensible par tout utilisateur.Thus, according to a particular embodiment of the present invention, given by way of non-limiting example, each notebook of cigarette papers has three sheets corresponding to rows 6, 4 and 2 before the end of the notebook and which comprise on one end of the glue strip, a numerical marking "6", "4", then "2". Such a marking 170 can attract the attention directly and is understandable by any user.

Bien entendu la présente invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation particuliers qui viennent d'être décrits, mais s'étend à toutes variantes conformes à son esprit.Naturally, the present invention is not limited to the particular embodiments which have just been described, but extends to all variants that are in keeping with its spirit.

A titre d'exemple, dans le cadre de la présente invention, l'on peut procéder simultanément au marquage des feuilles permettant d'identifier le nombre de feuilles restantes, à un marquage d'authentification de l'origine des feuilles destiné à éviter une contrefaçon. Dans ce cas le marquage d'authentification peut être réalisé sur toutes les feuilles, sans grever le coût de production puisqu"il est réalisé avec le même équipement que celui mis en oeuvre pour la réalisation du marquage identifiant le nombre de feuilles restantes.By way of example, in the context of the present invention, it is possible to simultaneously proceed to the marking of the sheets making it possible to identify the number of leaves remaining, to an authentication marking of the origin of the sheets intended to avoid a infringement. In this case the authentication marking can be performed on all sheets, without burdening the cost of production since it is made with the same equipment as that used for the achievement of marking identifying the number of remaining sheets.

Le domaine des papiers à cigarettes a donné lieu à une littérature abondante quant à des principes, objectifs ou modalités de marquage. On citera à titre non limitatif les documents suivants WO 2008/146158 , DE 102007013384 , KR 20000054723 , FR 2763080 , US 4854332 , DE 19839982 , FR 628530 , FR 774194 et EP 0409566 . Cependant aucun des documents connus ne proposent des moyens comparables à ceux de la présente invention.The field of cigarette papers has given rise to abundant literature on the principles, objectives or modalities of marking. The following documents may be cited as non-limiting WO 2008/146158 , DE 102007013384 , KR 20000054723 , FR 2763080 , US 4854332 , DE 19839982 , FR 628530 , FR 774194 and EP 0409566 . However none of the known documents offer means comparable to those of the present invention.

On observe en particulier que le document FR 628530 divulgue un étui compteur et indicateur pour papier à cigarettes comprenant des moyens indicateurs permettant de connaître le nombre de feuilles de papier à cigarettes restant dans l'étui sous forme d'une feuille imprimée ajoutée entre les feuilles de papier à cigarettes.It is observed in particular that the document FR 628530 discloses a meter and indicator case for cigarette paper comprising indicator means for knowing the number of sheets of cigarette paper remaining in the case in the form of a printed sheet added between the sheets of cigarette paper.

Le document FR 774194 propose des moyens indiquant le nombre de feuilles de papier à cigarettes restant, par indication du nombre de feuilles restantes sur une bande de papier qui sert d'emballage.The document FR 774194 proposes means indicating the number of sheets of cigarette paper remaining, by indicating the number of leaves remaining on a strip of paper that serves as packaging.
