Definitions

  • the invention relates to a package for a smokeless tobacco product and to the use of this package.
  • smokeless tobacco products A variety of different tobacco products is offered on the market and there is a class of goods which does not require combustion of the tobacco. These shall be referred to as smokeless tobacco products.
  • Some smokeless tobacco products are intended for oral administration. Examples are chewing tobacco, moist snuff and in particular so called “snus”. Snus is a moist tobacco product, which is provided in loose form or in individually wrapped pouches.
  • Smokeless tobacco products are often particularly sensitive to environmental impacts, such as changes in temperature or humidity. In order to provide a product which retains freshness and which is protected against negative environmental impact on the product performance, smokeless tobacco products are delivered in substantially air tight packages.
  • a typical package for example for snus, is a substantially cylindrical can or container, which is made from metal or resilient plastic material.
  • An attractively designed and durable package further protecting the sensitive tobacco product is desirable.
  • the package should be easy to handle and allow convenient opening and access its interior space.
  • US 3,161,315 A discloses a cosmetic container with the base and a cap.
  • the base has a sidewall half.
  • the sidewall half has a first end, a second end, a lower pivot element and a lower engagement element.
  • the lower pivot element is formed on the first end.
  • the lower engagement element is defined on the second end.
  • the cap is mounted pivotally on the base and has a sidewall half.
  • the sidewall half is mounted pivotally on the lower pivot element of the base and has a first end and an upper engagement element.
  • the upper engagement element engages with the lower engagement element of the base and is formed on the first end of the sidewall of the cap.
  • the sidewall half of the cap contacts a table surface on which the cosmetic container is put to prevent the cosmetic container from falling down.
  • a resilient and user friendly package for a smokeless tobacco product in particular for snus pouches.
  • the access opening can be widely opened to allow comfortable access to an interior space inside the can.
  • the user of the package can for example access the stored smokeless tobacco product from above and can first visually inspect the product to then select and collect the desired tobacco product from the interior space. Because the lid and the can are swiveled in a direction, which is almost perpendicular to the access opening, there is no risk of an accidental loss of tobacco products, upon opening of the package. This renders the package very user friendly.
  • the can of the package for the smokeless tobacco product comprises at least a first can and a second can.
  • the first can provides a first storage space, for example for smokless tobacco products.
  • the second can provides a second storage space. This can be used for storing a different type or a different flavor of tobacco products.
  • the second storage space can be a waste compartment. This waste compartment can be suitable for accommodating consumed smokeless tobacco products, for example snus pouches.
  • the first can is coupled to the lid via a first hinged connection in that the first can is swivelable about a first swiveling axis, for opening and closing a first access opening, providing access to the first storage space.
  • the second can is coupled to the lid via a second hinged connection, wherein the second can is swivelable about a second swiveling axis, which is defined by the second hinged connection. This is to open and close a second access opening to the second storage space.
  • the first and the second swiveling axis project substantially perpendicularly to the access openings of either one or both of the first and the second storage space.
  • the package according to this embodiment of the invention is enhanced such that the user is provided with fresh tobacco products and has easy access to a waste compartment, which can be integrated in the package. This relieves the user from the need to find a waste deposit for the consumed tobacco products.
  • the at least one can is eccentrically coupled to the lid.
  • the first and the second swiveling axis are in line with each other or they are spaced from one another.
  • the first and the second can are swivelable about a single and common swiveling axis.
  • the two axes are not identical or coincident to each other.
  • the axes can project substantially parallel to each other. In other words, the axes are aligned in a same or common direction.
  • the package is configured in that the first and the second swiveling axis are arranged on opposite sides of the package.
  • the swiveling axes can be opposite to each other with respect to a center axis of the package or either one or both of the first and the second storage space. This configuration applies, when the package is closed. Furthermore, a first distance between the first swiveling axis and the center axis and a second distance between the second swiveling axis and the center axis can be at least substantially equal.
  • the package according to one or more of the above-mentioned embodiments allows the first can and the second can to be opened in either a same or in opposite directions.
  • this allows accessing both cans simultaneously, if desired.
  • the cans are swiveled about different swiveling axes and can be opened in opposite directions.
  • the first storage space, which resides inside the first can is a compartment for storing fresh tobacco products
  • the second storage space, which resides inside the second can is a waste compartment for consumed tobacco products
  • a consumed item can be discarded in the waste compartment while a fresh one is selected and subsequently picked up from the storage space.
  • the package is, however, very compact, when closed. This is advantageous because a package for a smokeless tobacco product is often a portable item. Due to its compact size, the user can very conveniently carry the package, for example in a pocket or in a handbag. No unnecessary storage space for accommodation of the package is wasted.
  • the first can, the second can and the lid are stacked one above the other, when the package is closed.
  • the first can, the second can and the lid are stacked one above the other in this particular order, when the package is closed.
  • the first can is the lowermost member of the package and the lid is the uppermost member of the package.
  • the first and the second can each comprise a bottom wall and at least one peripheral wall.
  • a first peripheral wall of the first can surrounds the first storage space.
  • a second peripheral wall of the second can surrounds the second storage space.
  • the second bottom wall of the second can closes the access opening of the first can when the package is closed.
  • the package according to this embodiment of the invention is particularly compact because the bottom wall of the second can has a double function. It serves as a bottom wall for the second can and closes the access opening of the first can.
  • the first can is coupled to the lid via a first stud, projecting along the first swiveling axis.
  • the second can is coupled to the lid via a second stud, projecting along the second swiveling axis.
  • the first and the second stud form an integral part of the lid.
  • the first stud fits in a first sleeve being coupled to the first can.
  • the second stud fits in a second sleeve, which is coupled to the second can.
  • the first and the second sleeve form an integral part of the first and the second can, respectively.
  • the first and second sleeve can be integrally formed with the first and second peripheral wall of the first and the second can, respectively.
  • All parts and members of the package can be injection molded parts, in particular of a rigid synthetic material. This renders the production of the package economic, fast and effective.
  • the studs can be injection molded together with the lid.
  • the first and second sleeve can be injection molded together with the first and the second can, respectively.
  • the assembly of the package is simple in that the members forming the package can be composed using snap fit connections. According to an embodiment of the invention, the first stud and/or the second stud are locked in their counterpart sleeve, using a snap fit connection. During assembly of the package, the studs of the lid only have to be inserted in the corresponding sleeves.
  • each stud there can be a lug at the lower free end of each stud, which fits with the lower surface of a respective one of the sleeves. This establishes the snap fit connections, which will hold the members in place simultaneously allowing rotation of the first and second can about the first and second swiveling axis.
  • the at least one can is locked when the package is closed.
  • a snap lock can be applied. This advantageously avoids the package being accidentally opened, for example during transport.
  • the use of the package according to one or more aspects and embodiments of the invention is provided.
  • the package is used for packing of a smokeless tobacco product.
  • the package is used for packing of a moist tobacco product.
  • the package is used for packing snus.
  • a diameter of the package 2 is about 20 mm to 120 mm, in particular between 20 mm and 90 mm and further in particular between 40 mm and 80 mm.
  • a height of the package is about 10 mm to 120 mm. In particular, the height of the package 2 is between 12 mm and 100 mm and further in particular between 15 mm and 50 mm.
  • the second can 8 is coupled to the lid 4 via a second stud 20.
  • This second stud 20 projects along a second swiveling axis A2.
  • the second stud 20 fits in a corresponding second sleeve 22, which is coupled to the second can 8.
  • the second sleeve 22 forms an integral part of the second peripheral wall 18.
  • This single stud can project along the common swiveling axis. To fix the cans 6, 8 on the lid, this single stud projects through the second sleeve 22 of the second can 8 into the first sleeve 10 of the first can 6.
  • the single stud can be configured similar to either one of the first and the second stud 40, 20.
  • FIG. 4 there is a simplified perspective view of the package 2.
  • the second can 8 providing for example a waste compartment, is opened.
  • consumed snus pouches 50 are stored in a waste compartment inside the second can 8.
