Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a pocket-sized packet for small-sized products such as sweets, tablets, articles for smoking such as for example cigarettes, or other.
  • the main problem in making such types of packets is to make them with as much free surface as possible so that advertising slogans, graphical patterns, in combination with messages for the user can be written on it.
  • a first purpose of the present invention is therefore to free and create new spaces which can be used for written advertisements and publicity, or also for specific messages.
  • Another purpose of the present invention is to obtain a pocket-sized packet in which, in relation to its sizes, there is the maximum surface available to be able to affix writings, images, logos, trademarks or any other information for the user.
  • Another purpose of the present invention is to obtain a pocket-sized packet which is simple, reliable and in which the lid is only opened when the user wants to do so.
  • Another purpose of the present invention is to make a pocket-sized packet in which the products contained therein have their upper part protected too, and not only when the lid is closed.
  • a further purpose of the present invention is to make a pocket-sized packet which can be open and handled with one hand.
  • the Applicant has devised, tested and embodied the present invention to overcome the shortcomings of the state of the art and to obtain these and other purposes and advantages.
  • Said container has a plurality of walls which define an internal compartment, in which small-sized products can be disposed, such as cigarettes, sweets, tablets or other, either haphazardly or in an organized manner, as normally occurs for cigarettes, or similar smoking products.
  • the pocket-sized packet also comprises a lid, hinged or in any case articulated on the container.
  • Said lid is mobile, for example by rotation, between a closed position and an open position, which allows access to the internal compartment.
  • the container comprises an upper element suitable to cooperate with the lid when the latter is in the closed position.
  • said lid comprises both an upper part with two lateral elements configured to cooperate with the upper element of the container, when the latter is in the closed position, and a lower part with a flat wall by means of which the lid is hinged on the container.
  • the upper element comprises a tongue hinged on an upper edge of the container and this is also mobile between a closed position, in which it at least partly covers the upper part of the internal compartment, and an open position, in which it does not interfere with access to the internal compartment.
  • the tongue is suitable to cooperate with the lid in order to prevent the latter from opening involuntarily when both are in the closed position.
  • Said tongue has a width slightly greater than the internal distance between the lateral elements of the lid, in order to prevent the latter from opening involuntarily when both the lid and the tongue are in the closed position.
  • the sizes of the tongue are substantially equal to or slightly less than those of a bottom wall of the container, so as to selectively close the internal compartment even when the lid is in the open position.
  • the tongue in the closed position the tongue is suitable to cooperate, with a slight interference, with two lateral elements of the lid, even when the latter is in closed position.
  • the tongue advantageously has a triple function: when it is in the closed position and the lid is too, it cooperates with the latter to keep it in the closed position; it can cover the upper opening of the internal compartment of the container, protecting the products contained therein, even when the lid is in the open position; and its external surface, but also the internal one if so desired, is available to increase the space on which information can be written for the users.
  • a pocket-sized packet 10 comprises a container 11 and a lid 12 hinged along a hinging edge 13 of the container 11.
  • the container 11 and the lid 12 can be made in any known way, for example using a sheet of sufficiently rigid material, which can be easily folded, such as cardboard, sheet metal, a plastic material, suitably shaped, folded and glued or attached along the edges.
  • the container 11 has the shape of a parallelepiped, with a front wall 15, a back wall 16, two side walls 18 and a bottom wall 19, which define an internal compartment 20 open toward the top.
  • the hinging edge 13 of the lid 12 is located at the intersection of the front wall 15 with the bottom wall 19.
  • the hinging element between the lid 12 and the container 11 can also be a simple fold of the sheet with which they are made.
  • the lid 12 comprises a simple flat wall 21, of a rectangular shape, without stiffening ribs or ridges, an upper wall 22, located at the end opposite the hinging edge 13, and two lateral flanks or ribs 23, of a triangular shape, which keep the upper wall 22 perpendicular to the flat wall 21.
  • a tongue 25 which in the example has a substantially rectangular shape, possibly with one or more rounded or beveled corners, is hinged on an upper edge 26 of the back wall 18.
  • the tongue 25 is made from the same sheet of material with which the container 11 and the lid 12 are made.
  • the tongue 25 is also mobile, by rotation with respect to the upper edge 26, between a closed or lowered position, in which it fits with the lateral walls 18 of the container 11 and closes the opening of the internal compartment 20, and an open position, in which it allows access to the internal compartment 20.
  • the sizes of the tongue 25 are substantially equal to or slightly less than those of the bottom wall 19.
  • the width of the tongue 25, that is, in this case, its bigger side is slightly larger, for example by some tenths of a millimeter, than the internal distance between the two lateral flanks 23 of the lid 12 ( fig. 4 ).
  • a pocket-sized packet 110 also according to the present invention, comprises a lid 112, which is different from the lid 12 only in the lower part.
  • the lid 112 comprises a flat wall 121 which, instead of being rectangular in shape, is trapezoid shaped and instead of being hinged on the hinging edge 13 is hinged on an oblique edge 113, inclined by a determinate angle ⁇ , for example comprised as desired between 30° and 50° with respect to the front edge of the bottom wall 19.
  • a determinate angle ⁇ for example comprised as desired between 30° and 50° with respect to the front edge of the bottom wall 19.
  • the remaining parts of the packet 110 are the same as those of the packet 10 described above.
  • a pocket-sized packet 210 also according to the present invention, comprises a tongue 225, with a length and width equal to those of the tongue 25, but made in two parts 225a and 225b, visible in fig. 8 , identical to each other and made from a first shaped sheet 230, of cardboard for example.
  • the two parts 225a and 225b are suitable to be folded back and possibly, but not necessarily, attached to each other, for example by gluing.
  • a second shaped sheet 231 is suitable to make the front wall 15 and a part of the lateral walls 18.
  • the first shaped sheet 230 also comprises two lateral fins 232 and 233, each as wide as half the width of the flat wall 21 and suitable to be folded back and possibly, but not necessarily, attached, for example by gluing, to the latter.
  • a single lateral fin 333 is provided, with the width equal to that of the flat wall 21 and suitable to be folded back and possibly, but not necessarily, attached, for example by gluing, to the latter.
  • the hinging point of the lid, with respect to the container can be different from those described above.
  • the shape of the container could be different from that of a parallelepiped.
