Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to the field of packaging for tobacco products.
  • the present invention relates to a new type of cigarette pack, and a blank for forming the pack.
  • Cigarette packs of a wide variety of constructions are well known.
  • One particularly well known construction is a pack made of sturdy cardboard with a pronounced edge and comprising a hinged lid which opens from the top to allow a user access to the cigarettes inside.
  • cardboard packs have an inner case as well as an outer shell to ensure sufficient rigidity, as well as to improve the aesthetic appearance of the pack.
  • the inner shell extends into the region covered by the hinged lid to ensure rigidity of the pack and adequate closure of the pack when the lid is in the closed position.
  • the present invention seeks to overcome this problem.
  • a cigarette pack comprising:
  • the side walls of the inner frame are bent inwardly as they extend towards the top face of the lid in the closed position they avoid engagement with the side faces of the lid lid such that inner frame biting during closure of the lid in use is avoided.
  • the pack still retains, however, the rigidity of prior art packs by the ability to employ an inner frame.
  • a blank for forming the pack according to the invention is also provided.
  • a conventional cardboard cigarette pack 1 has an outer box 2 formed from a cardboard blank and comprising a bottom face (not shown) and parallel front face 3 and rear face 4 as well as longitudinal parallel side faces 5, 6.
  • the front, rear and side faces 3, 4, 5, 6 of the box define together with the bottom face an internal compartment C adapted to receive a cigarette bundle as represented in figure 1 .
  • the pack 1 further comprises an inner frame 7 having front and side walls 8, 9, 10 glued to the inner surface of the front face 3 and side faces 5, 6 of the box 2 respectively.
  • the pack 1 has a lid 11 formed from the same cardboard blank as the box 2.
  • the lid 11 is hingedly attached to the rear face 4 of the box 2 such that the lid 11 can be closed over an opening in the box 2 to form a closed pack.
  • the lid 11 has side walls 12, 13 which, when the lid 1 is closed extend over and run parallel to the faces of the side walls 9, 10 of the inner frame 7.
  • the side walls 9, 10 then act as a support to ensure that the pack 1 remains rigid and that the lid 11 does not move sideways when in a closed position.
  • the top face 14 of the lid 11 forms the top face of the box 2.
  • the pack 1 is shown having curved front corners 15, 16 and right-angled rear corners 17, 18.
  • all of the corners of the pack 2 can be rounded or all could be right angled, or any combination of round, bevelled or right-angled corners.
  • Figure 2 shows a side view 2 of Figure 1 with the lid 11 in a partially closed position and in which the problem of inner frame biting referred to above is shown.
  • the side wall 10 of the inner frame 7 can be seen as the side wall 13 of the lid 7 has passed inside the inner surface of the side walls 10 of the inner frame 7. This prevents proper closure of the lid 11, may deteriorate both the inner frame 7 and the lid 11 and is frustrating to a user.
  • Figure 3 shows a plan view of a pack 1 according to the present invention. Where components correspond to those of the prior art they have been numbered identically.
  • the pack 1 of the present invention has a similar construction with an outer box 2 and inner frame 7.
  • the pack 1 of the present invention is formed such that the side walls 9, 10 of the inner frame 7 are bent or curved inwardly towards a sagittal plane S of the pack, as they extend in the direction of the top face 14 of the pack.
  • the lid 11 however is formed in the same manner as the prior art.
  • the curvature of the inner frame sidewalls 9, 10 does not have to be great, perhaps resulting only in an inward curvature from the base of 0.3 to 0.5mm in a conventional pack.
  • the bending or curvature of the inner frame's side walls 9,10 is forced by the box side walls 5, 6 urging it inwardly towards the top of the rear face 4 of the box 2.
  • said rear face 4 being non-rectangular and more specifically by the hinge line H connecting the top part of the rear face 4 of the box 2 and the lid 11 of a shorter length L H than the length L B of the bottom side B of the rear face 4 as well as preferably of the bottom and top sides of the front face 3.
  • the longitudinal side faces 5, 6 are urged away from being parallel to each other towards the sagittal plane S on the top rear end of the box 2, which mechanically urges the side walls 9, 10 of the inner frame 7 being attached to the inner surface of said side faces 5, 6 inwardly towards said sagittal plane S.
  • the length LH of the hinge is made sufficiently shorter than the length LB of the bottom side.
  • the length L H of the hinge can only be of between 0,2 and 5 mm shorter than the length L B of the bottom side of the rear face, and preferably between 0,4 and 2 mm shorter.
  • the distance D R between the rear corners 17, 18 defining the longitudinal sides of the rear face 4 of the box 2 varies, and more preferably decreases, continuously or discontinuously, linearly or non-linearly, from the bottom side B of the box 2 to the hinge line H between the length L B of said bottom side B to the length L H of the hinge line H.
  • Figure 5 shows a blank 20 which can be used to form the box of the pack 1 according to the present invention.
  • the blank 20 has a box forming section 21which can be folded and glued to form the box 2 of the pack 1 and a lid-forming section 29 to form the lid 11 of the pack 1.
  • the box forming section 21 comprises a first main panel 22 to form a front face 3 of the box 2 and a second main panel 23 to form a rear face 4 of the box 2.
  • the first and second main panels 22, 23 are linked or connected to each other by means of a first intermediate panel 24 connected at first ends of the first and second main panels 22, 23 along parallel first and second folding lines l 1 , l 2 .
  • the first intermediate panel 24 forms the bottom face of the box 2 of the pack 1 upon construction of the blank 20.
  • the box forming section 21 further comprises first and second counter panels 25, 26 connected on longitudinal sides of the first main panel 21 along third and fourth folding lines l 3 , l 4 .
  • the third and fourth folding lines l 3 , l 4 form front corners of the box 2 of the pack and can be made of a single folding line or, as represented in Figure 5 of a plurality of creases allowing for the formation of rounded corners.
  • Further third and fourth counter panels 27, 28 are connected on longitudinal sides of the second main panel 23 respectively along fifth and sixth folding lines l 5 , l 6 , which are preferably of single nature as represented in Figure 5 but can be multiple as for folding lines l 3 , l 4 .
  • the first and second counter panels 25, 26 and the third and fourth counter panels 27, 28 are arranged to form longitudinal side faces 12, 13 of the box 2 by superimposition and fastening, preferably by gluing, of counter panels 25, 26 on the counter panels 27, 28 upon construction of the box 2 to hold all panels of the box forming section 21 together and define an internal compartment to receive a cigarette bundle.
  • the third and fourth counter panels 27, 28 are prolonged by flaps 24', 24" articulated along the second folding line l 2 and extending on sides of the first intermediate panel 24.
  • These flaps 24', 24" serve as anchoring elements for the counter panels 27, 28 on the intermediate panel 24 upon construction of the box 2 in order to provide rigidity and structure to the box 2 at its bottom between front, rear, side and bottom faces.
  • the blank 20 further comprises a lid forming section 29 extending at a second end of the second main panel 23 and counter panels 27, 28.
  • the lid forming section 29 comprises a second intermediate panel 30 to form a rear face of the lid 11, which is connected to a second end of the second main panel 23 along a hinge line H parallel to the first and second folding lines l 1 , l 2 .
  • a top panel 31 extends from the second intermediate panel 30 to form the top face of the lid 11 and the pack 1.
  • the top panel 31 is connected to the second intermediate panel 30 along a seventh folding line l 7 parallel to the hinge line H, and a front panel 32 to form a front face of the lid 11 is further connected to the top panel 31 along an eighth folding line l 8 parallel to the seventh hinge line l 7 .
  • a front counter panel 33 articulated along a ninth folding line l 9 is also provided to reinforce the front face of the lid 11 once constructed and provide rigidity thereto.
  • first and second lateral flaps 34, 35 foldable on sides of said second intermediate panel 30 and third and fourth lateral flaps 36, 37 foldable on sides of the front panel 32 are further provided to form side faces of the lid by superimposition and fastening (gluing) of the third and fourth flaps 36, 37 onto the first and second flaps 34, 35 respectively upon construction of the lid.
  • foldable top flaps 31', 31" are also preferably provided on lateral sides of the top panel 31.
  • flaps 31', 31" serve, like the flaps 24', 24", as anchoring elements for the counter panels 34, 35 on the second intermediate panel 30 upon construction of the box 2 in order to provide rigidity and structure to the lid 7 at its top between front, rear, side and top faces.
  • the blank 20 is such that the length L H of the hinge line H is shorter than the length L B of the second folding line l2 between the second main panel 23 and the first intermediate panel 24. Consequently, the folding lines l 5 , l 6 of the counter panels 27, 28 are not formed parallel to each other but rather are inclined from the first intermediate panel 24 to the second intermediate panel 30. Accordingly, as the box 2 of the pack is formed these folding lines l 5 , l 6 ensure that the longitudinal side faces 12, 13 of the box 2, made by superimposition and gluing of counter panels 25, 26 on counter panels 27, 28 respectively urge the side walls 9, 10 of the inner frame 7 inwardly towards the interior of the internal compartment and the sagittal plane S of the pack 1 and away from being parallel to each other.
  • the distance D R between the fifth and sixth folding lines l 5 , l 6 varies, and more preferably decreases, continuously or discontinuously from the second folding line l 2 to the hinge line H between the length L B of said second folding line to the length L H of the hinge line.
