Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to slide packages suited for containing cigarettes.
- As packages for containing cigarettes, a hinge lid type cigarette package, for example, has been widely known which comprises a rectangular body and a lid joined to the body by a hinge.
- There has also been proposed a cigarette package capable of producing an audible sound when the lid is opened or closed, in order to make the user realize that the lid is being opened or has been completely closed.
- In
Patent Document 1, for example, a part of the box body is allowed to project across the hinge, and when the lid is opened, the projecting part bends to produce an audible sound. - On the other hand, in
Patent Document 2, an engaging means is provided between the lid and the box body, and when the lid is opened and closed, the engaging means produces an audible sound. The engaging means also has the function of engaging the lid with the box body, to prevent the lid from opening accidentally while the lid is closed, thereby preventing the cigarettes from dropping out of the package. -

H11-49149 - In recent years, cigarette packages with various shapes, besides the hinge lid type cigarette packages, have come to be increasingly used. A sliding type cigarette package (slide package), for example, has been proposed which comprises a rectangular outer box opening at a top thereof and an inner box slidably accommodated in the outer box.
- There has also been a demand for a sliding type cigarette package which has the function of producing an audible sound, like the cigarette packages of
Patent Documents Patent Documents - Also, in the case of sliding type cigarette packages, a gap is liable to be created between the inner and outer boxes, and small fragments of tobacco shreds of cigarettes, for example, may possibly pass through the gap to the outside. Thus, there has been a demand for a structure which is simple yet capable of preventing the passage of such small fragments.
- The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a slide package capable of producing an audible sound by means of a simple structure when an inner box is slid back into an outer box, and also capable of reducing a gap between the inner and outer boxes while the inner box is accommodated in the outer box, thereby improving sealing performance of the slide package.
- The above object is achieved by a slide package of the present invention, which includes: a rectangular outer box having an opening; and an inner box accommodated in the outer box and slidable outward from the opening, the inner box having a wall section closing the opening of the outer box and a rear wall extending from the wall section in a sliding direction, part of the inner box being exposed when the inner box is slid outward from the opening, to open a front side of the slide package, wherein the rear wall of the inner box has a protrusion projecting rearward toward the outer box, the outer box has an engaging hole with which the protrusion can be engaged, and the protrusion is engaged with the engaging hole and urges the inner box frontward against the outer box while the inner box is accommodated in the outer box with the opening closed with the wall section, and disengages from the engaging hole when the inner box is slid outward.
- Preferably, the protrusion is supported on the inner box so as to be pivotable in the sliding direction, and the protrusion is engaged with the engaging hole with a distal end thereof directed outward and urges the inner box frontward with the distal end in contact with the rear wall of the outer box while the inner box is accommodated in the outer box with the opening closed, and disengages from the engaging hole with the distal end reversed when the inner box is slid outward.
- Preferably, the inner box includes a box body, a lid section connected to a rear end of the box body and pivotable back and forth, the lid section including the wall section, and a lid opening device which pulls a rear part of the lid section to cause the lid section to pivot rearward when the inner box is slid outward.
- The lid opening device preferably includes an engaging member extending from the rear part of the lid section in the sliding direction and engaging with the outer box.
- The protrusion is preferably provided on the engaging member.
- With the slide package according to the present invention, an audible sound is produced when the protrusion of the inner box being accommodated in the outer box engages with the engaging hole, whereby the user can be notified of the accommodation of the inner box and is also encouraged to put the inner box in the completely accommodated position.
- Also, while the inner box is accommodated in the outer box, the protrusion urges the inner box frontward against the outer box, so that the gap between the front part of the outer box and the inner box is reduced, making it possible to improve sealing performance.

-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the external appearance of a slide-up package 1 as a slide package according to a first embodiment of the present invention.FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the structure of a rear part of the slide-up package of the first embodiment. - The slide-up
package 1 is suited for containing rod-shaped smoking articles such as cigarettes. - As illustrated in
FIGS. 1 and2 , the slide-uppackage 1 of this embodiment includes aninner box 2 and anouter box 3. Theouter box 3 is in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped and has anouter front wall 12, an outer rear wall 14 (rear wall), and a pair ofouter side walls 16. Anopening 18 is formed at an upper end of theouter box 3. Theouter front wall 12 has an opening, or anaperture 20, formed in a central portion thereof. - The
inner box 2 is vertically slidably accommodated in theouter box 3.FIG. 1 illustrates a state in which part of theinner box 2 is projecting upward from the opening 18 of theouter box 3. Theinner box 2 also is in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped and includes aninner box body 24. Theinner box body 24 has aninner front wall 26, an innerrear wall 28, a pair ofinner side walls 30, and an inner bottom wall, not shown. - The
inner front wall 26 is partly exposed through theaperture 20. Also, a shallow U-shapednotch 32 is cut in an upper edge of theinner front wall 26. - An
inner opening 34 is formed at an upper portion of theinner box body 24 and has its verges defined by the respective upper edges of theinner front wall 26, the innerrear wall 28 and the twoinner side walls 30. - The
inner box 2 further includes a hinge lid 36 (lid section) connected to the rear verge of theinner opening 34 via ahinge line 38. Thehinge lid 36 is pivotable around thehinge line 38 to open and close theinner opening 34. - Specifically, the
hinge lid 36 includes a top wall 40 (wall section), a lidrear wall 42, and a pair oflid side walls 44. When thehinge lid 36 is in a closed position, the twolid side walls 44 are located inside the upper portions of the respectiveouter side walls 16 while thetop wall 40 covers theinner opening 34 from above. - As is clear from
FIG. 1 , a product, for example, an inner pack A, is contained in theinner box 2. The inner pack A includes a bundle of filter cigarettes FC and a wrapper (not shown) wrapping the bundle therein. - When the
inner box 2 is in a completely accommodated position where theinner box 2 is contained in its entirety in theouter box 3, thehinge lid 36 assumes the closed position with itstop wall 40 located so as to close up the opening 18 of theouter box 3. - On the other hand, when the user holding the slide-up
package 1 with his/her hand slides theinner box 2 in the accommodated position upward (outward) with his/her thumb pressed against theinner box 2 through theaperture 20 of theouter box 3, thehinge lid 36 projects upward (outward) from the opening 18 of theouter box 3 while pivoting around thehinge line 38, with the result that thehinge lid 36 is opened as illustrated inFIG. 1 . The user can therefore take a filter cigarette FC out of theinner box body 24. - To enable the
hinge lid 36 to open in conjunction with the sliding movement of theinner box 2, the slide-uppackage 1 is equipped with a lid opening device (opening/closing device). The lid opening device will be explained below. - The lid opening device includes a lid flap 46 (engaging member). As is clear from
FIGS. 2 and3 , thelid flap 46 extends from the rear edge of thetop wall 40 downward along the lidrear wall 42 to a location between the outerrear wall 14 and the innerrear wall 28. Thelid flap 46 has anopening 48 formed therein. Theopening 48 has a nearly rectangular shape and has a lower verge extending in the width direction of the slide-up package. - Also, the
lid flap 46 has afirst folding line 50 extending parallel with thehinge line 38, namely, in the width direction across thelid flap 46. Thus, thelid flap 46 is foldable along thefirst folding line 50. - Further, as shown in
FIG. 3 , thelid flap 46 has asecond folding line 52 formed therein, where necessary. Thesecond folding line 52 also extends in the width direction across thelid flap 46 and is located between thefirst folding line 50 and the lower edge of thelid flap 46. For example, thesecond folding line 52 is located near the lower verge of theopening 48 and is divided by theopening 48 into two segments. - The
lid flap 46 is folded along each of the first andsecond folding lines first folding line 50 is raised from the innerrear wall 28. - On the other hand, the
outer box 3 has aninner flap 54. InFIG. 3 , only the outerrear wall 14 of theouter box 3 is illustrated. Theinner flap 54 extends from the upper edge of the outerrear wall 14 downward along the inner surface of the outerrear wall 14. - The
inner flap 54 is formed such that a width thereof gradually decreases from the upper edge to an intermediate portion of the outerrear wall 14, and a lower end portion of theinner flap 54 has a width smaller than that of theopening 48. - The lower end portion of the
inner flap 54 is inserted into the opening 48 from above, as indicated by a dot-dash line inFIG. 3 , and thus while theinner box 2 is accommodated in theouter box 3, theinner flap 54 and thelid flap 46 are crossed. - The lower portion of the
lid flap 46 is raised as stated above, and thus as the innerrear wall 28 and the outerrear wall 14 are superimposed with thelid flap 46 therebetween, the lower end portion of theinner flap 54 is inserted into theopening 48. - The width of the
inner flap 54 and the vertical position of the lower verge of theopening 48 are set such that when theinner box 2 is slid upward from theopening 18 of theouter box 3 to the extent that thehinge lid 36 as well as part of thelid flap 46 are exposed from theouter box 3 as shown inFIG. 2 , theinner flap 54 abuts against, or engages with, the side verges of theopening 48 and is prevented from being further inserted into theopening 48. Accordingly, the abutment of theinner flap 54 against the side verges of theopening 48 stops further projection of thelid flap 46 from theouter box 3. - As the
inner box 2 is further slid upward from theouter box 3, thehinge lid 36 pivots rearward around thehinge line 38 because further projection of thelid flap 46 is restricted, so that thehinge lid 36 is opened as shown inFIG. 1 . - The
first folding line 50 is located above the upper edge of the outerrear wall 14 when theinner flap 54 abuts against the side verges of theopening 48 to stop further projection of thelid flap 46, and thehinge line 38 is located above thefirst folding line 50. - Accordingly, the pivotal motion of the
hinge lid 36 around thehinge line 38 is not obstructed by thelid flap 46, and also the bending of thelid flap 46 along thefirst folding line 50 is not obstructed by the outerrear wall 14. As a result, thehinge lid 36 can be smoothly opened in conjunction with the further projection of theinner box 2. - Further, the
lid flap 46 has a click tab 60 (protrusion) adjoining the upper verge of theopening 48. Theclick tab 60 is formed by cutting thelid flap 46 from the upper verge of theopening 48 upward, to form a pair ofslits 61 spaced apart from each other in the width direction and having a length of about 2 mm, for example, and raising the distal end (lower end) of the cut part rearward along atab folding line 62 connecting the upper ends of the twoslits 61. - Furthermore, the
inner flap 54 of theouter box 3 has an opening 65 (engaging hole) into which theclick tab 60 can be inserted. As shown inFIG. 4 , while theinner box 2 is completely accommodated in theouter box 3, theclick tab 60 is inserted into theopening 65 and is acutely bent with its distal end reversed, or directed upward. - When the
inner box 2 is slid upward from the accommodated state in which theinner box 2 is completely accommodated in theouter box 3, the distal end of theclick tab 60 comes into engagement with the upper verge of theopening 65 of theinner flap 54. As theinner box 2 is further slid upward, theclick tab 60 reverses and its distal end is directed downward, so that the engagement between theclick tab 60 and theinner flap 54 is released. This permits further upward movement of theinner box 2. - As the
inner box 2 in the fully slid-up state is slid down into theouter box 3, the distal end of theclick tab 60 comes into contact with the upper end of the outerrear wall 14 of theouter box 3 and then reverses, so that theclick tab 60 is forced into the space between the outerrear wall 14 and theinner box 2 with its distal end directed upward. The vertical position of theopening 65 and of theclick tab 60 is set so that theclick tab 60 may be inserted into theopening 65 immediately before theinner box 2 is completely accommodated in theouter box 3. - Thus, the accommodated state of the
inner box 2 is maintained by the engagement of theclick tab 60 with theinner flap 54. - Also, when the
click tab 60 enters theopening 65, the distal end of theclick tab 60 strikes the outerrear wall 14 of theouter box 3, producing a click sound (audible sound). Such an audible sound permits the user to easily confirm that theinner box 2 has been completely accommodated in the outer box. - While the
inner box 2 is accommodated in theouter box 3, theclick tab 60 is reversed with its distal end kept in contact with the outerrear wall 14 of theouter box 3 as shown inFIG. 4 , and because of reaction force to the bending of theclick tab 60, thelid flap 46 is urged frontward away from the outerrear wall 14. As a result, theinner box 2 is pressed against the outerfront wall 12 of theouter box 3, and thus thetop wall 40 of thehinge lid 36 and the front edges of theinner side walls 30 are brought into close contact with the outerfront wall 12, improving sealability of the slide-uppackage 1 while theinner box 2 is accommodated in theouter box 3. - Referring now to
FIGS. 5 and6 , a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. - As illustrated in
FIG. 5 , aslide package 71 according to the second embodiment of the present invention has a shape resembling a matchbox. - The
slide package 71 has a construction such that aninner box 72 is slidably accommodated in theouter box 3, as in the foregoing first embodiment; however, theinner box 72 has no hinge lid and its top wall 73 (wall section) is not pivotable. - When the user holding the
slide package 71 with his/her hand slides theinner box 72 in the accommodated position upward with his/her thumb pressed against theinner box 72 through theaperture 20 of theouter box 3, theinner box 72 projects upward from theopening 18 of theouter box 3, so that the user can take out a filter cigarette FC from the front side of theinner box 72. - In this embodiment, a lid flap 76 (engaging member) extending downward from the rear edge of the
top wall 73 of the inner box has theclick tab 60, as shown inFIG. 6 , but does not have an opening into which the lower end portion of theinner flap 54 is inserted. Also, theinner flap 54 has theopening 65 formed therein but does not extend substantially downward from theopening 65. - Although the slide package of the second embodiment is constructed in such a manner that the upper part of the
inner box 72 is not pivotable, theinner box 72 is provided with theclick tab 60 and theouter box 3 has theopening 65 for engagement with theclick tab 60, as in the first embodiment. Thus, when theinner box 72 is accommodated in theouter box 3, theclick tab 60 engages with theopening 65, enabling theinner box 72 to be held in the accommodated state, and also a click sound can be produced when theinner box 72 is accommodated in theouter box 3. In addition, while theinner box 72 is totally contained in theouter box 3, the distal end of theclick tab 60 is in contact with and urges the outerrear wall 14 of theouter box 3, so that the front edges of theinner box 72 can be brought into close contact with theouter box 3, making it possible to improve the sealing performance of the slide package. - In the second embodiment, the
click tab 60 may be provided on the innerrear wall 28 of theinner box 72. This makes it possible to omit thelid flap 76. - The present invention is not limited to the foregoing embodiments and may of course be modified in various ways without departing from the scope of the invention in the appended claims.
- In the above description of the embodiments, the present invention is embodied as the slide-up
package 1 or theslide package 71. It is to be noted, however, that the present invention is applicable to a wide range of slide boxes having a construction such that an inner box is slidably accommodated in an outer box. -
