Description
- The present invention relates to an upsliding package for accommodating products, such as cigarettes or filter cigarettes, and also relates to a blank set of the upsliding package.
- An upsliding package of this type and its blank set are disclosed, for example, in
Patent Document 1 described below. The upsliding package disclosed inPatent Document 1 includes an outer box having an opening end at the top thereof, and an inner box accommodated in the outer box, the inner box including a main body and a hinge lid connected to the main body via a hinge line. - When the inner box, that is, the hinge lid of the inner box is projected upward from the opening end of the outer box, the hinge lid is rotated about the hinge line so as to be opened. Therefore, a user can take out a product accommodated in the inner box without directly accessing the hinge lid.
- In order to enable the opening operation of the hinge lid described above, the upsliding package of this type is further provided with a lid-opening device for opening the hinge lid in conjunction with the projection of the inner box from the outer box.
- Specifically, the lid-opening device includes a lid flap which is extended downward from the top wall of the hinge lid so as to be inserted between the outer box and the inner box, and which has a folding line extended across the lid flap in its width direction. On the other hand, the lid-opening device further includes an engagement mechanism which regulates further projection of the lid flap at the time when the hinge lid is projected from the outer box together with the lid flap to such an extent that the folding line of the lid flap is exposed from the outer box. Therefore, in the state where the further projection of the lid flap is regulated in this way, when the hinge lid is further projected, the hinge lid is rotated about the hinge line so as to be opened.
- Patent Document 1:
WO 2010/081527 A1
DE 10 2005 058720 A1 discloses a smoking article packet, comprising an inner packet part for accommodating the smoking articles and an outer packet part for accommodating the inner packet part, which outer packet part has one essentially open face through which the inner packet part can be pushed out of the outer packet part, and with at least one slide aperture in the outer packet part wherein the slide aperture lies essentially on a face of the outer packet part that does not lie opposite the open face. -
US 3 311 283 A discloses a carton having an automatically opening cover, said carton comprising an outer sleeve-like casing having an unapertured rear panel which extends the full length of the outer casing, a tab attached to the edge of the rear panel at the upper edge thereof and bent downwardly along the inside surface of the rear panel, an inner casing slidable within said outer casing and having a top panel, and at least a cover rear panel and cover side panels depending therefrom, the cover rear panel being hinged to the upper edge of the rear panel of the inner casing, and an actuating member hingedly secured to the rear edge of the cover top panel and extending downwardly between the rear panels of the inner and outer casings, said actuating member having an aperture therein at a point spaced below the edge thereof hinged to said cover top panel and in which said tab engages to stop upward movement of said inner casing relative to said outer casing when the inner casing is urged upwardly, said actuating member lying entirely within said outer casing when said inner casing is within said outer casing with the cover closed and the cover top panel level with the upper edge of the rear panel of the outer casing, whereby the cover is pivoted rearwardly on further upward movement of said inner casing relative to said outer casing. -
WO 2009/010851 A2 discloses a rigid pack of essentially parallelepiped appearance, designed to contain cigarettes, being composed of an inner packet with a hinged lid, and an open- fronted box or case affording a recess in which the packet is nested with the back, top, bottom and flanks offered in contact respectively to the back, transverse walls and longitudinal walls of the case, and with the inner packet anchored along the front corner edge between the front wall and the bottom, to the free edge presented by a corresponding transverse wall of the outer case; the inner packet is able to pivot on this corner edge, which functions as a hinge, between the nested position and a position partially extracted from the case. Also forming part of the pack is a linkage element operating between the case and the packet in such a way as will cause the lid to flip open automatically when the pack is opened. - Generally, the above-described engagement mechanism includes a locking tab formed at the distal end of the lid flap and folded toward a root of the lid flap, and a stopper flap arranged in the outer box and folded downward. When the hinge lid is projected from the outer box, the root of the locking tab is engaged with the distal end of the stopper flap to thereby regulate further projection of the lid flap.
- In the case where the inner box including the lid flap is formed of a sheet of an inner blank, the above-described locking tab is formed by folding the lid flap. However, the folding of the lid flap complicates the folding of the inner blank.
- Furthermore, in the state where the further projection of the lid flap is regulated, three of the lid flap, the locking tab and the stopper flap overlap each other between the outer box and the inner box. Therefore, a gap allowing the overlapping of the three of the lid flap, the locking tab and the stopper flap needs to be secured between the outer box and the inner box. Such gap causes the size of the outer box to be increased.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an upsliding package in which an inner blank forming the inner box of the upsliding package can be easily folded and in which an increase in the size of the outer box of the upsliding package can be avoided, and also is to provide a blank set of the upsliding package.
- The above-described object can be achieved by an upsliding package according to
claim 1, the upsliding package comprising: - an outer box having an opening end at a top thereof;
- an inner box accommodated in the outer box so as to be able to slide upward from an opening end of the outer box, the inner box including a main body and a hinge lid connected to the main body via a hinge line, the hinge lid having a top wall for closing the opening end when the inner box is accommodated in the outer box, and a lid rear wall formed between the top wall and the hinge line; and
- a lid-opening device for opening the hinge lid when the hinge lid of the inner box is projected from the outer box.
- The lid-opening device includes:
- a lid flap configured to extend downward from a rear edge of the top wall along the lid rear wall so as to be inserted between an outer rear wall of the outer box and an inner real wall of the inner box, and having an opening;
- an insertion tab provided in the outer box, the insertion tab having a distal end portion inserted into the opening from above, and configured to engage a lower edge of the opening with a root of the insertion tab so as to regulate further projection of the lid flap when the hinge lid is projected from the outer box together with the lid flap; and
- a first folding line formed in the lid flap and in parallel with the hinge line, the first folding line being configured to be located above the opening end of the outer box and extended across the lid flap in its width direction so as to allow the lid flap to be folded in a state where the further projection of the lid flap is regulated,
- In the upsliding package of the present invention, when the inner box is further projected from the outer box after the further projection of the lid flap is regulated, the hinge lid is rotated about the hinge line in conjunction with the projection of the inner box, the hinge lid is opened. At this time, the lid flap is folded along the first folding line so as to allow the rotation of the hinge lid.
- When the hinge lid is in the closed state, the first folding line is located below the hinge line. Therefore, when the hinge lid is in a state projected from the outer box until further projection of the lid flap is regulated, the rotation of the hinge lid about the hinge line is not hindered by the lid flap so that smooth opening operation of the hinge lid is secured.
- The lid flap further includes a second folding line which is located between the first folding line and the lower edge of the lid flap. In this case, a folding tendency can be given to the lid flap along the second folding line. The folding tendency facilitates insertion of the insertion tab into the opening.
- The outer box further includes an aperture for exposing a part of the inner box, and the aperture is arranged, for example, at the front wall of the outer box. In this case, a user can project the inner box from the outer box while pressing his or her thumb against the inner box through the aperture.
- Furthermore, the present invention provides a blank set according to claim 6 for forming the upsliding package described above, and the blank set includes an outer blank and an inner blank. The outer blank forms the outer box and the insertion tab of the lid-opening device, and the inner blank forms the inner box and the lid flap of the lid-opening device.
- In the upsliding package and the blank set of the upsliding package according to the present invention, projection of the lid flap can be regulated only by a simple structure in which the opening is formed in the lid flap of the inner box and, on the other hand, the insertion tab inserted into the opening is provided at the outer box. Therefore, the inner blank for forming the inner box can be easily folded. Furthermore, in order to insert the insertion tab into the opening, a large gap is not needed between the outer box and the inner box, and hence an increase in the size of the outer box can be avoided.

Figure 7] Figure 7 is a view showing an inner blank for the inner box and the lid flap. - As shown in
Figure 1 , an upsliding package according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided with anouter box 10. Theouter box 10 is formed into a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and includes anouter front wall 12, an outerrear wall 14, a pair ofouter side walls 16, and anouter opening end 18 at the top of theouter box 10. Anaperture 20 is formed in theouter front wall 12, so as to be arranged at the center of theouter front wall 12. - An
inner box 22 is accommodated in theouter box 10 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction.Figure 1 shows a state in which a part of theinner box 22 is projected upward from theouter opening end 18 of theouter box 10. Theinner box 22 is also formed into a rectangular parallelepiped shape and includes amain body 24. Themain body 24 has an innerfront wall 26, an innerrear wall 28, a pair ofinner side walls 30, and an inner bottom wall. - A part of the inner
front wall 26 is exposed through theaperture 20. Furthermore, anotch 32 is provided at the upper edge of the innerfront wall 26 and has a shallow U-shape. The height of the upper edge of the innerrear wall 28 from the inner bottom wall is lower than the height of the upper edge of the innerfront wall 26. Therefore, the upper edge of each of the pair ofinner sidewalls 30 is inclined downward toward the upper edge of the innerrear wall 28. - The upper edges of the inner
front wall 26, the innerrear wall 28 and the pair ofinner sidewalls 30 define aninner opening end 34 at the top of themain body 24, and the inner openingend 34 is opened and closed by ahinge lid 36. - That is, the
inner box 22 further includes thehinge lid 36 connected to the rear edge of the inner openingend 34 via ahinge line 38. Thehinge lid 36 is rotated about thehinge line 38 so as to open and close the inner openingend 34. - Specifically, the
hinge lid 36 includes atop wall 40, a lidrear wall 42 and a pair oflid side walls 44. When thehinge lid 36 is in a closed position, the pair oflid side walls 44 meet together the corresponding side edges of the inner openingend 34 and, on the other hand, thetop wall 40 covers the inner openingend 34 from above. Therefore, the lower edge of the pair oflid side walls 44 is also inclined downward toward the rear edge of the inner openingend 34, that is, thehinge line 38. - Furthermore, each of the pair of
lid side walls 44 has afront edge 44f. When thehinge lid 36 is in the closed position, thefront edges 44f secure a predetermined gap between thetop wall 40 and the upper edge of the innerfront wall 26. - As is apparent from
Figure 1 , a product, for example, an inner pack A is accommodated in theinner box 22. The inner pack A includes a bundle of filter cigarettes FC and a wrapping material (not shown) for wrapping the bundle. - When the
inner box 22 is in the accommodated position where theinner box 22 is completely accommodated in theouter box 10, thehinge lid 36 is in the closed position, and thetop wall 40 of thehinge lid 36 is positioned at the outer openingend 18 so that thetop wall 40 serves as an outer lid for closing the outer openingend 18. - When the user grasps the upsliding package with a single hand and presses, through the
aperture 20 of theouter box 10, the thumb of the hand against theinner box 22 at the accommodated position so as to slide theinner box 22 upward, thehinge lid 36 is rotated about thehinge line 38 while being projected upward from the outer openingend 18, and is thereby opened as shown inFigure 1 . Therefore, the user can take out a filter cigarette FC from the inside of themain body 24. - In order to enable the above-described opening operation of the
hinge lid 36 in conjunction with the sliding of theinner box 22, the upsliding package includes a lid-opening device which will be described below. - The lid-opening device includes a
lid flap 46. As is apparent fromFigure 2 , thelid flap 46 is extended downward from the rear edge of thetop wall 40 along the lidrear wall 42 so as to be inserted between the outerrear wall 14 and the innerrear wall 28. A pair ofopenings 48 are formed in thelid flap 46. Theopenings 48 are each formed into a long rectangular shape in the extending direction of thelid flap 46, and are separated from each other in the width direction of thelid flap 46. - Furthermore, a
first folding line 50 is formed in thelid flap 46 so as to be in parallel with thehinge line 38 so that thefirst folding line 50 is extended across thelid flap 46 in its width direction and divided by the pair ofopenings 48. Therefore, thelid flap 46 is allowed to be folded along thefirst folding line 50. - Furthermore, as shown in
Figure 3 , asecond folding line 52 is formed in thelid flap 46 as required. Thesecond folding line 52 is also extended across thelid flap 46 in its width direction and positioned between thefirst folding line 50 and the lower edge of thelid flap 46. For example, thesecond folding line 52 is positioned near the lower edge of the pair ofopenings 48 described above so that thesecond folding line 50 is divided by theopenings 48. - As is apparent from
Figure 3 , thelid flap 46 is once valley folded along each of the first andsecond folding lines lid flap 46 and thefirst folding line 50 is in a state of being lifted from the innerrear wall 28. - On the other hand, the
outer box 10 is provided with aninner flap 54. It should be noted that only the outerrear wall 14 of theouter box 10 is shown inFigure 3 . Theinner flap 54 is extended downward from the upper edge of the outerrear wall 14 along the inner surface of the outerrear wall 14, and has a lower edge in parallel with the upper edge of the outerrear wall 14. - A pair of
insertion tabs 56 are further extended downward from the lower edge of theinner flap 54 and separated from each other in the width direction of the outerrear wall 14. Each of the pair ofinsertion tabs 56 has a pointed lower end. - When the
inner box 22 is accommodated in theouter box 10, the distal end portions of the pair ofinsertion tabs 56 are respectively inserted, as shown by the dot and dash lines inFigure 3 , into the correspondingopenings 48 from above, and are in a state of intersecting thelid flap 46. - Here, since the lower portion of the
lid flap 46 described above is lifted, the pair ofinsertion tabs 56 are inserted into the correspondingopenings 48 only by overlapping the outerrear wall 14 and the innerrear wall 28 with each other via thelid flap 46. - In detail, as is apparent from
Figure 4 , when theinner box 22 is in a state of being completely accommodated in theouter box 10, the distal end portions of the pair ofinsertion tabs 56 are positioned in the upper portions of the correspondingopenings 48. At this time, thefirst folding line 50 of thelid flap 46 is positioned below thehinge line 38. A distance A1 of at least the thickness of thehinge line 38 or more, for example, 0.5 mm or more, is secured between thefirst folding line 50 and thehinge line 38. -
-
- On the other hand,
Figure 5 shows a state in which theinner box 22 is projected upward from the outer openingend 18 of theouter box 10 so that thehinge lid 36 is exposed to the outside of theouter box 10 together with a part of the lid flap 46 (seeFigure 2 ). At this time, the root of each of theinsertion tabs 56 is abutted against the lower edge of thecorresponding opening 48, respectively. Such abutment regulates further projection of thelid flap 46 from theouter box 10. - Furthermore, at this time, as is apparent from
Figure 5 , thefirst folding line 50 is positioned above the upper edge of theinner flap 54, that is, the upper edge of the outerrear wall 14, and a distance Δ2 (= L3 - L2) is secured between thefirst folding line 50 and the upper edge of the outerrear wall 14. - When the
inner box 22 is further projected from theouter box 10 from the state shown inFigure 5 , the further projection of thelid flap 46 is regulated. Hence thehinge lid 36 is rotated about thehinge line 38 toward the rear side in accordance with the further projection of thehinge lid 36, that is, the lift of thehinge lid 36 so that thehinge lid 36 is opened as shown inFigure 1 andFigure 2 . On the other hand, thelid flap 46 is folded rearward along thefirst folding line 50. - As described above, in the state shown in
Figure 5 , that is, when the further projection of thelid flap 46 is regulated, thefirst folding line 50 is located above the upper edge of the outerrear wall 14 by the distance Δ2 and, on the other hand, thehinge line 38 is located above thefirst folding line 50 by the distance Δ1. - Therefore, the rotation of the
hinge lid 36 about thehinge line 38 is not hindered by thelid flap 46, and also the folding of thelid flap 46 along thefirst folding line 50 is not hindered by the outerrear wall 14. As a result, thehinge lid 36 is smoothly opened in conjunction with the further projection of theinner box 22. - On the other hand, in the case where the
outer box 10 and theinner box 22 are respectively formed by an outer blank and an inner blank described below, the pair ofinsertion tabs 56 are only inserted into the correspondingopenings 48, respectively. Therefore, thelid flap 46 needs only to have at least a folding tendency along thefirst folding line 50, and hence the folding of the inner blank including thelid flap 46 is not complicated. - Furthermore, even when the
insertion tabs 56 are respectively inserted into theopenings 48, a gap allowing overlapping of theinsertion tab 56 and thelid flap 46 needs only to be secured between theinner box 10 and theouter box 20, and hence the overlapping of theinsertion tab 56 and thelid flap 46 does not cause the size of theouter box 10 to be increased. -
Figure 6 shows an example of an outer blank 58 for forming theouter box 10 and theinner flap 54. - The outer blank 58 has a
bottom panel 60 at the center thereof, and thebottom panel 60 forms the outer bottom wall of theouter box 10. As shown inFigure 6 , arear panel 66 and afront panel 68 are respectively connected to the upper and lower edges of thebottom panel 60 viafolding lines rear panel 66 forms the outerrear wall 14, and thefront panel 68 forms the outerfront wall 12. Theaperture 20 is formed in thefront panel 68 at the center thereof. - Outer side flaps 82 and 84 are connected to both sides of the
rear panel 66 viafolding lines front panel 68 viafolding lines outer side walls 16 is formed by overlapping theouter side flap 82 and theinner side flap 90 with each other. - Furthermore, the other of the pair of
outer side walls 16 is formed by overlapping theouter side flap 84 and theinner side flap 92 with each other. - Furthermore, inner bottom flaps 74 and 76 are respectively connected to the lower edges of the outer side flaps 82 and 84 via
folding lines bottom panel 60. - As shown in
Figure 6 , theinner flap 54 having the pair ofinsertion tabs 56 is connected to the upper edge of therear panel 66 via afolding line 93, and the distance between the upper edge of therear panel 66 and the root of theinner flap 54 is represented as L4 inFigure 6 . -
Figure 7 shows an inner blank 94 for forming theinner box 22 and thelid flap 46. - The inner blank 94 has a
bottom panel 96 which forms the inner bottom wall of theinner box 22. As shown inFigure 7 , a largerear panel 102 and afront panel 104 are connected to the upper and lower edges of thebottom panel 96 viafolding lines rear panel 102 forms the innerrear wall 28, and thefront panel 104 forms the innerfront wall 26. As shown inFigure 7 , thenotch 32 is formed at the lower edge of thefront panel 104. - Outer side flaps 118 and 120 are connected to both sides of the large
rear panel 102 viafolding lines front panel 104 viafolding lines outer side flap 118 and theinner side flap 126 form one of the pair of theinner side walls 30 by being overlapped with each other. - Furthermore, the
outer side flap 120 and theinner side flap 128 form the other of the pair ofinner side walls 30 by being overlapped with each other. - Furthermore, inner bottom flaps 110 and 112 are connected to the lower edges of the outer side flaps 118 and 120 via
folding lines bottom panel 96. - As shown in
Figure 7 , alid panel section 130 is connected to the upper edge of the largerear panel 102 via thehinge line 38. Thelid panel section 130 includes a smallrear panel 132, an innertop panel 134, and an outertop panel 136 in order from the side of thehinge line 38. The smallrear panel 132 forms the lidrear wall 42, and the smallrear panel 132 and the innertop panel 134 are connected to each other via afolding line 138. - The inner
top panel 134 and the outertop panel 136 are connected to each other via afolding line 140, and form thetop wall 40 by being overlapped with each other. - Side flaps 146 and 148 are respectively connected to both sides of the small
rear panel 132 viafolding lines lid side walls 44. - Middle
top flaps folding lines top flaps top wall 40 by being sandwiched between the innertop panel 134 and the outertop panel 136 described above. - The
lid flap 46 is connected to the upper edge of the outertop panel 136 via afolding line 158 as shown inFigure 7 . - Here, when the distance between the
folding line 158 and thefirst folding line 50 is set as L5, and the distance between the upper edge of theopening 48 and thefolding line 158 is set as L6 inFigure 7 , the above-described distance L3 (seeFigure 4 ) can be represented by the following expression. - After a folding tendency is given to the
lid flap 46 along the first andsecond folding lines inner box 22 provided with thelid flap 46. - Then, after the
inner flap 54 is folded along thefolding line 93, the outer blank 58 is folded aroundinner box 22 along the folding lines thereof so as to form theouter box 10 provided with theinner flap 54. At this time, the formation of the upsliding package is completed. - The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and various variations are possible.
- For example, the lid-opening device may include only at least one
opening 48 and oneinsertion tab 56. Furthermore, thehinge lid 36 may be connected to the upper edge of one of theinner side walls 30 via the hinge line. In this case, thehinge lid 36 is rotated in the width direction of theinner box 22 so as to open and close the inner openingend 34. - Furthermore, the
inner box 22 is not limited to accommodate the inner pack A of the filter cigarettes FC and can accommodate various products. -
