Definitions

  • the present invention relates to oral tobacco products that allow users to take in tobacco components via saliva.
  • Cigarettes have so far been popular as one of articles of taste. Recently, smokeless tobacco has been attracting attention because it allows the user to take in tobacco components without the need to light the tobacco.
  • An oral tobacco product called snus which is a kind of smokeless tobacco, includes, as its main constituent, tobacco shreds obtained by finely cutting a tobacco material, and a substantial amount of water is contained in the tobacco shreds.
  • snus of this kind can be classified into a loose type in which the tobacco shreds are not wrapped, and a portion type, or what is called a pouch type, in which the tobacco shreds are wrapped in a wrapper made of nonwoven fabric or the like.
  • a pouch type in which the tobacco shreds are wrapped in a wrapper made of nonwoven fabric or the like.
  • semicircular pouch type has also been known in addition to generally rectangular pouch type, which is commonly known (Patent Document 1).
  • the user directly puts the snus in between the upper lip and the gum of his/her mouth, to enjoy the aroma of tobacco as well as to take intro his/her body through the gum, the tobacco components leaching out from the tobacco shreds into the saliva.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an oral tobacco product which is not only readily distinguishable from other oral tobacco products but also can effectively appeal to users' purchasing motivation.
  • an oral tobacco product comprises a mixture containing tobacco particles made from a tobacco material, a pouch filled with the mixture, the pouch allowing a user to take in tobacco components of the tobacco particles via saliva when put in the user's mouth, and product information relating to the mixture and provided on an outer surface of the pouch.
  • the product information about the mixture is provided on the outer surface of the pouch. Accordingly, the oral tobacco product can be visually distinguished from other similar pouch-type oral tobacco products and also can stimulate users' purchasing interest.
  • the product information may include at least one of a brand name of the tobacco particles, indication of contents of the mixture, and a best-before date. The user can therefore obtain detailed information on the oral tobacco product, with the result the brand image of the oral tobacco product is enhanced.
  • the product information is printed using an edible colorant.
  • safety of the printed product information is ensured, though the oral tobacco product is directly put into the mouth.
  • the pouch may be colored using an edible colorant such that the pouch and the product information are different in color.
  • the product information can be made to stand out, but also the entire outer surface of the pouch can be used to express the brand.
  • the oral tobacco product may further comprises a food flavoring, and the food flavoring may be contained in the edible colorant for the product information.
  • the user can enjoy the flavor of the food flavoring before putting the oral tobacco product into his/her mouth, and can fully enjoy the aroma of the tobacco material itself in addition to the flavor of the food flavoring after the oral tobacco product is put into his/her mouth.
  • the oral tobacco product of the present invention has the product information printed on the outer surface of the pouch, whereby visual distinguishability of the product is enhanced.
  • the oral tobacco product of the present invention can be differentiated from other oral tobacco products, enabling the oral tobacco product of the present invention to stimulate users' purchasing interest.
  • the tobacco product 1 includes a mixture containing a predetermined amount of tobacco particles as a main constituent, and a pouch 2 wrapping the mixture therein, the pouch 2 being made from a sheet of nonwoven fabric.
  • the tobacco particles are obtained by finely cutting or pulverizing a tobacco material and have an average particle size of, for example, 2 mm or less.
  • a predetermined number of tobacco products 1 are contained in a portable case 14, for example.
  • the user takes out the tobacco product 1 from the case 14 and puts the tobacco product 1 in his/her mouth.
  • the tobacco product 1 is held between the upper lip and the gum of the user so that the tobacco components leaching out from the tobacco particles into the saliva may be absorbed in the user's body through the gum.
  • the case 14 on the other hand, includes a case body 16, a mat 17, and a lid 20.
  • the case body 16 is in the form of a flat cylinder with a hollow therein and has an open end 15 at the top thereof.
  • the open end 15 protrudes upward in convex form to define a circular opening and can be opened and closed with the lid 20.
  • the mat 17, which is circular in shape, has an outer diameter nearly equal to the inner diameter of an inner wall 19 of the case body 16 and is placed on a bottom surface 18 of the case body 16.
  • the tobacco product 1 lies on the mat 17 within the case 14.
  • the lid 20 is circular in shape and has an outer diameter equal to that of the case body 16.
  • a generally circular stepped recess 22 is formed in the upper surface of the lid 20, and has a bottom 23 and an annular lid rest 29 surrounding the bottom 23.
  • the lid rest 29 has such a depth as to be shallower than the bottom 23.
  • a hinge 21 is provided in an outer peripheral portion of the lid rest 29, and a round cover 24 is attached to the hinge 21.
  • the cover 24 has an outer diameter nearly equal to that of the lid rest 29. Accordingly, when the cover 24 is fitted in the recess 22, the recess 22 is closed with the cover 24 with the outer peripheral portion of the cover 24 disposed in close contact with the lid rest 29.
  • the cover 24 in the closed state is swung upward about the hinge 21, the recess 22 is exposed and thus is opened.
  • the cover 24 is capable of opening and closing the recess 22. While the recess 22 is closed with the cover 24, the upper surface of the outer peripheral portion of the lid 20 is flush with the upper surface of the cover 24.
  • a knob 25 protrudes from an outer peripheral edge of the cover 24 and is located opposite to the hinge 21 in a diametrical direction of the cover 24.
  • An indentation 35 for receiving the knob 25 is formed in the outer peripheral portion of the lid 20.
  • the knob 25 makes it easy for the user to open the cover 24.
  • two detents 26 protrude from the outer peripheral edge of the cover 24 and are located close to and on both sides of the knob 25, respectively.
  • two engaging holes 27 associated with the respective detents 26 are formed in the outer one of the two inner peripheral surfaces of the lid 20 around the recess 22.
  • the recess 22 has a capacity large enough to accommodate several tobacco products 1 therein.
  • the lid 20 can therefore be used as a waste container for temporarily containing used tobacco products 1. That is to say, the case 14 is capable of containing unused tobacco products 1 and used tobacco products 1 separately.
  • the lid 20 further has a circular recess formed in a lower surface thereof.
  • the recess has an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the aforementioned open end 15 and thus is capable of receiving the open end 15 therein.
  • a ceiling surface 28 (see FIG. 5 ) of the recess also serves as a surface for pushing down the tobacco products 1 contained in the case body 16.
  • product information 4 about the tobacco product 1 is printed on the outer surface of the pouch 2 of the tobacco product 1.
  • the product information 4 may include a character string "AAA" indicating a brand 5 of the tobacco particles and printed on the upper part of the outer surface of the pouch 2.
  • the brand 5 may not necessarily be a character string and may be a pictorial figure or character design instead.
  • the product information 4 may include, in addition to the brand 5, a content indication 6 indicating, for example, the constituents of the mixture, the amount of the mixture contained, or the like.
  • the content indication 6 is printed on the lower part of the outer surface of the pouch 2, for example.
  • the content indication 6 illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 namely, "0.4 g", indicates the amount contained.
  • the brand 5 and the content indication 6 shown in FIG. 2 are printed on the upper part of the outer surface of the pouch 2.
