Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates generally to a packet or case for containing articles, such as for example smoke articles, like cigars or cigarettes. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a blank, that is a sheet or panel duly provided with creasing or folding lines and cuts, intended to be folded for making said case/packet. The present disclosure also relates to a case including said blank, a method and a relative equipment for making the blank.
  • a packet for cigarettes formed by a die-cut sheet including a first portion, or main containing portion, which is intended to be hold with one hand by a user, and a second portion, or lid portion, which is hinged, in a rear area to the main containing portion, and is intended to be lifted with the other hand by the user to gain access inside the case.
  • the packet Between the main containing portion and the lid portion, at the mouth of the packet in a frontal zone, the packet includes a so-called collar, which has the function of guiding the closing of the lid portion and of maintaining in a stable closed position the lid portion.
  • the collar in the frontal zone at the mouth of the packet, the collar has a substantially U-shaped profile to facilitate the access inside the packet and the taking out, by the user, of the articles contained therein, such as the cigarettes.
  • the lid portion in a closed position overcomes the collar up to hide it completely.
  • the collar is formed by a sheet, structurally independent from the die-cut sheet mentioned above, which is subsequently glued inside the main containing portion, during a step of packaging of the case.
  • a packet or case made according to the known art does not allow to make use in an optimum manner of the entire visible surface of the blank to customize the packet with writings, drawings or more generally promotional messages printed on the visible surfaces of the packet.
  • the case of the known art does not allow to print writings, logos or other indications exploiting at the most the surface of the case.
  • the Inventors of the present disclosure have recognized that writings and drawings have to be printed in an independent manner on the main containing body of the die-cut sheet, and on the collar.
  • a writing or drawing can be printed on the containing portion and another writing or drawing can be printed on the collar, inevitably leaving unprinted or empty spaces.
  • Such a print would have an unacceptable aesthetic appearance.
  • a technical problem at the basis of the present disclosure resides in providing a blank for making a case or packet being able to overcome said drawback of the known art and/or being able to achieve further advantages and/or to have additional features.
  • the blank includes a collar which is a single piece with the first portion, i.e. with the main portion intended to form the containing body of the case.
  • the collar stems from a same sheet or starting panel from which the first portion stems.
  • the collar is therefore part of a same sheet with the first portion and with the second portion which define the containing body and the cap body of the packet. It follows, from a structural point of view, that the collar represents an integral extension of the first portion.
  • the packet or case can be made by means of single equipment that bends the blank in an appropriate way, to obtain both the first portion and the collar.
  • the collar defines a plane or different level relative to a plane defined by the first portion, and relative to a plane of the second portion.
  • This plane of the collar is a plane that, when the blank is folded and shaped to a packet, is located innermost relative to the plane of the first portion and of the second portion.
  • the collar is a recessed area relative to the first portion and the second portion.
  • the sheet is positioned in a die cutter comprising a matrix and a plate intended to be pressed against the matrix, and having the function of counter-matrix.
  • the one between the matrix and the plate have a male or raised portion relative to the adjacent zone intended to form the first portion.
  • the male or raised portion is adapted to be coupled with a complementary female area, which is a recessed area, of the other between the matrix and the counter-matrix.
  • the area of the sheet interposed between the raised area and the recessed area, intended to define the collar can be positioned on a different plane relative to the remaining part of the sheet.
  • this technique is called debossing.
  • the collar is connected to the first portion by a fold which is determined by the coupling relief/recess of the matrix and of the counter-matrix.
  • the die cutter to make the said relief (male portion), includes a plate body in a region of the collar.
  • the plate body is positioned on a plane or level protruding relative to the adjacent area of the die cutter intended to form the first portion.
  • the plate body includes a plate central portion, a first plate side portion and a second plate side portion. Further ribs are provided between the central plate portion and the first plate side portion and between the plate central portion and the second plate side portion. These ribs permit the making of bending areas in the collar.
  • the plate body also comprises two slots in which some blades are housed.
  • the blades are intended to define cutting lines of limited extension in the collar.
  • the matrix further comprises a blade which surrounds and follows the profile of the plate body (male portion) on the outer side and serves to make the outer profile of the collar.
  • the plate comprises, as a recessed area, a depression, or hollow, obtained by milling and having shape and profile complementary to the above-mentioned plate body.
  • the depression comprises a recessed central portion, a first recessed side portion and a second recessed side portion, and two grooves positioned one between the recessed central portion and the first recessed side portion and the other between the recessed central portion and the second recessed side portion.
  • a blank according to respective embodiments of the present disclosure is denoted by reference numbers 1, 101.
  • the blank 1, 101 is a sheet or panel or wall, suitably cut and provided with areas intended for a folding or a crease.
  • the blank 1, 101 when folded and closed takes the shape of a parallelepiped.
  • the blank 1, 101 is made of a material suitably workable and mouldable, such as card, cardboard, paper, a material based on fibres, like wood-fibres or similar.
  • the blank 1, 101 can be provided with appropriate prints on a visible surface and a metalized envelope containing articles inside, such as cigarettes, for making a packet or case of cigarettes.
  • the blank 1, 101 comprises a first portion 2 intended to form a containing body of the cigarettes and intended to be hold with one hand by a user.
  • the first portion defines a mouth 3 from which it is possible to gain access inside the containing body for taking out the cigarettes.
  • the blank 1, 101 comprises a second portion 4 intended to define a closing lid or cap for the mouth 3.
  • the first portion 2 and the second portion 4 are made according to shape and technology settled in the field and know to a person skilled in, the art.
  • the first portion 2 comprises side walls or wings 13, 23, a front wall 33 and a rear wall 43, as well as bottom walls 53, 63, 73.
  • the second portion 4 comprises side walls or wings 14, 24, 34, a rear wall 54, a top wall 64 and a front wall 74, and a front/frontal flap 84.
  • a creasing line 7 connects the first portion 2 to the second portion 4.
  • the blank 1, 101 further comprises a collar 5 associated to the first portion 2.
  • the collar 5, when the blank 1, 101 is folded and closed, is intended to define an abutment and/or a guide for a closing of the second portion 4 defining the lid or cap.
  • Making the packet starting from the blank 1, 101 in a extended or open position is a process shown in Figures 2-10 and can be performed following the sequence shown in Figures 2-10 . It is to be understood that the above-mentioned disposition of cuts and creases and the process for closing the blank to a packet are an exemplary embodiment of the subject-matter of the present disclosure, and that many other configurations of cuts and creases can be provided for making the blank according to the present disclosure.
  • the collar 5 is a single piece with the first portion 2.
  • the collar 5 and the first portion 2 are parts of a same sheet, or body, from which the blank 1, 101 is obtained.
  • the collar 5 defines a plane which is different relative to the plane of the first portion 2 and the second portion 4.
  • this plane is more internal relative to the plane of the first portion 2 and of the second portion 4, so that, when the second portion 4 is positioned on the collar, the second portion 4 is flush or at the same level with the first portion 2, and at the same time overcomes the collar 5, as shown in Figure 10 .
  • the collar 5 is a recessed area, or debossing, relative to the first portion 2 and to the second portion 4. In this way, when the case is shaped to define the parallelepiped packet and the second portion 4 is closed on the first portion 2, the second portion 4 is flush or at the same level with the first portion 2.
  • the collar 5 is separated from the first portion 2 by a folding area 6 determined by the level difference between the first portion 2 and the collar 5.
  • the collar 5 comprises a collar front wall 15, 115, a first collar side wall 25 and a second collar side wall 35.
  • each side wall 13, 23 of the first portion 2 is respectively joined in a single piece with the first collar side wall 25 and the second collar side wall 35.
  • creasing lines of the collar 5 between the collar front wall 15, 115 and the first collar side wall 25 and between the collar front wall 15, 115 and the second collar side wall 35 are denoted with C5.
  • Cutting lines of the collar 5 are denoted with T5.
  • two cutting lines T5 of limited extension are made in the creasing lines C5 between the collar front wall 15, 115 and the first collar side wall 25 and between the collar front wall 15, 115 and the second collar side wall 35.
  • These cutting lines T5 have a limited and shorter extension relative to the extension of the crease C5.
  • These cutting lines T5 serve, when the blank 1, 101 is folded and closed, to create a ledge in the collar 5 which makes adhesion or gripping action with the second portion 4 and favours a stable closing of the second portion 4 on the collar.
  • the collar front wall 15, 115 is U-shaped and has a base region 15A, 15B and two wings 15B, 115B extending towards the second portion 4, when the blank 1, 101 is folded and closed.
  • the blank 101 of Figures 2-10 and the blank 1 of Figure 1 differ for the shape of the collar front wall 15, 115.
  • the wings 115B extend in length beyond the footprint of the collar first side wall 25 and of the collar second side wall 35, while in the blank 1 of Figure 1 the wings 15B have the same extension in length of the collar first side wall 25 and of the collar second side wall 35.
  • a die cutter 20 for making the blank 1, 101 is illustrated.
  • the die cutter 20 comprises a matrix 21 and a plate 22, having the function of counter-matrix.
  • the matrix 21 is fixedly mounted on a frame (not illustrated in the Figures), while the plate 22 is hinged mounted to the frame to move between an open position in which it is in spaced relation from the matrix 21 and a closed position in which the plate 22 is adherent overlapped and presses on the matrix 21.
  • the matrix 21 comprises a support panel 21a on which are fixed a plurality of blades 26 having a cutting profile positioned with arrangement corresponding to the disposition of the cutting lines T3, T4 and T5 and a plurality of bars 27 having rounded profile, positioned with arrangement corresponding to the disposition of the creasing lines 7, C3, C4 and C5 of the blank 1, 101.
  • Protection curbs 28, for example made of foam rubber are positioned at the sides of the blames 26, to protect the starting sheet during the cutting step.
  • the plate 22 has a plurality of grooves 29 having sectional rounded profile, intended for housing the corresponding bars 27.
  • Lines 30 are further marked at of the blades 26 on the plate 22. The lines 30 are due to the milling action determined by the blades 30 when the plate 22 is pressed against the matrix 21. It is to be understood that the above-mentioned disposition of blades and bars are an exemplary embodiment of the subject matter of the present disclosure, and that many other configurations of blades and bars can be provided for making the blank according to the present disclosure.
  • the die cutter 20 comprises a relief defined by a plate body 31 in the exemplary embodiment.
  • the plate body 31 is in particular intended for shaping the sheet for making the collar 5.
  • the plate body 31 defines a different plane or level relative to a plane defined from the remaining part of the matrix 21 intended for the shaping and cutting of the first portion 2 and for the shaping and cutting of the second portion 4.
  • the plate body 31 is shaped so as to include a plate central portion 37, a first plate side portion 36 and a second plate side portion 38.
