Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tobacco container comprising tobacco and a folded blank for forming a container for smoking articles.
  • Roll-Your-Own RYO
  • MYO Make-Your-Own
  • GB 2510914 A discloses a case for a cigarette packet comprising hinged intersections which enable the case to be folded flat.
  • the container for smoking articles is formed of a material having one of more cuts, creases, scores, or gaps, or any combination thereof along said continuous fold line.
  • the 'continuous' aspect of the fold line refers to the fact that the fold line extends all of the way around the container back to a starting point.
  • the material of the container that underlies this continuous fold line is not necessarily continually creased or cut, for example, and may have interrupted creased and/or cut segments there along, however the container itself is foldable about said continuous fold line.
  • said continuous fold line is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal-axis of the container.
  • the container may have the shape of a common cigarette packet, for example a generally cuboidal cardboard packet with a hinged lid integrally formed at an upper end.
  • the cigarettes may be disposed along the longitudinal-axis such that a user can remove the cigarettes by their ends when the container is open.
  • said continuous fold line preferably bisects the housing substantially half way along the length of the container, as defined in the longitudinal-axis of the container. The term 'substantially halfway' allows for some leeway from the exact midpoint, for example plus or minus ten per cent.
  • said container is simultaneously collapsible about a second fold line and a third fold line, wherein said second fold line extends along a joining edge between the front face and a first side face; and wherein said third fold line extends along a joining edge between the back face and a second side face, said second side face being different from the first side face.
  • This step reduces the three dimensional container into a two dimensional object, or 'collapsed container', which can then be folded about the continuous fold line so as to reduce its footprint.
  • the continuous fold line extending across the front face and the first side face overlies the continuous fold line extending across the back face and the second side face.
  • the container preferably further comprises a lid.
  • Said lid may be formed of a separate body from the housing which is then glued to said housing.
  • one side of the lid may be glued to the back face of the housing and a crease further provided to the lid in order to enable it to pivot between an open and a closed position.
  • said container forms a flip top lid configuration, wherein the longest part of the lid extends substantially half way along the length of the container as defined in the longitudinal-axis of the container.
  • Smoking articles may be disposed longitudinally within the container such that a user can remove the smoking articles by their ends from an open top surface of the container when the lid is open.
  • the lid is not necessarily formed of a separate body from the housing and may alternatively be integral with the material forming the housing.
  • Said housing preferably defines an inner space for storing smoking articles.
  • the inner space is an empty substantially cuboidal volume.
  • the dimensions of the inner space (and indeed the container and housing) may be different depending on the number and type of smoking articles which it is designed to hold.
  • the housing preferably accommodates twenty smoking articles.
  • the blank preferably further comprises additional panels that form an inner frame, wherein the continuous fold line also extends along the inner frame.
  • the inner frame provides enhances the rigidity of the container, which is advantageous because contents of the container are generally fragile.
  • Inner frames are typically not provided in cartons, for example.
  • the blank is preassembled into a partially formed container in the form of a folded blank.
  • This folded blank has a small footprint and may be packaged and sold inside existing packaging, such as tins or pouches of loose tobacco, without increasing (or substantially increasing) the volume of packaging required.
  • Said folded blank is preferably enclosed in a sealed wrapper or paper sleeve. This protects the folded blank and helps to retain it in its folded state.
  • the sealed wrapper may typically be formed of a common plastic material that may be opened by a user tearing or cutting said wrapper.
  • a method for forming the folded blank comprises, folding the blank along joining edges between the front panel, the back panel, the side panels so as to form a collapsed housing and folding said collapsed housing about the continuous fold line.
  • This method would preferably be performed by a manufacturer following the mass production of the blank and not by an end user.
  • the most complex steps of assembling the container for example including applying cuts, creases, folds or glue to areas of the blank) are already performed before an end user receives the folded blank.
  • the remaining steps of unfolding the folded blank so as to form a container in accordance with the present invention are relatively straight forward and intuitive for an end user to perform.
  • a method for forming the container comprises unfolding the folded blank.
  • the folded blank may be sold in combination with a container of loose tobacco so that a user, having purchased a quantity of loose tobacco, may have somewhere to store their pre-rolled RYO/MYO cigarettes.
  • a container of loose tobacco is provided in the form of a tin.
  • FIGS 1 to 4 show a front, left, back and right perspective views respectively of an example of a container 1.
  • the container 1 is formed of a housing 10 and a lid 7 that are formed from cutable and creaseable material.
  • the lid 7 and housing 10 are formed from a single sheet of card in the form of a blank 20 (later discussed with reference to Figure 5 ) which is cut, glued, creased / folded and unfolded so as to form the container 1.
  • the lid 7 is therefore integral with the housing 10 and is configured to open and close the container 1 by movement about a horizontal pivot line 13 provided on a back surface of the container 1 (shown in Figure 3 ).
  • the lid 7 is shown at its open position in Figures 1 and 2 and at its closed position in Figures 3 and 4 .
  • Coordinate axes are further provided in Figures 1 and 2 for reference.
  • the ordinate y-axis is aligned with the vertical-axis and the abscissa x-axis is aligned with horizontal-axis of the container 1.
  • a z-axis, which is perpendicular to the x and y axes is also shown.
  • the housing 10 comprises a front face 2 and a back face 6, which are each aligned in the xy plane, as well as a left side face 4 and a right side face 8, which are each aligned in the yz plane.
  • the housing 10 further comprises a bottom face 9, which is aligned in the xz plane.
  • the lid 7 has a top surface 11 which is aligned in the xz plane when the lid 7 is closed.
  • FIG. 10 The interior of the housing 10 defines an inner space for storing smoking articles, such as cigarettes.
  • Figure 1 shows a plurality of vertically orientated cigarettes 3 which are disposed within the housing 10 and may be removed from a top surface of the container 1, where they are visible through an open window shown in Figure 1 .
  • a continuous fold line 5, in the form of crease or cut material forming the housing 10 extends across the two side faces 4, 8, the front face 2 and the back face 6 such that it entirely encircles the housing 10 in a straight line through the horizontal / transverse xz plane.
  • the container (or cigarette pack / packet) 10 has a flip top lid wherein the longest part of the lid 7 extends to the midpoint of the container 1 wherein it meets the continuous fold line 5.
  • the continuous fold line 5 is horizontal and bisects the housing 10 at its midpoint in the vertical direction.
  • the housing 10 may be collapsed and then folded in half about the fold line 5.
  • the continuous fold line 5 is continuous in the sense that it extends from a starting point all of the way around the housing 10 and back to the starting point.
  • the material that underlies the fold line 5 is not itself necessarily entirely creased or cut along this line 5, so long as there is a line 5 comprising creased and/or cut segments which extends around the housing 10 about which the container 1 may be folded.
  • the front, back and side faces may comprise one or more layers of material, as will later become evident (due to the provision of an inner frame).
  • a dashed line indicates where a crease has been made in a layer of material, whereas a solid line extending across a face of the container 1 indicates a boundary between two layers of material (i.e. where a cut has been made).
  • a crease may be provided in a material underlying this cut however to enable the container 1 to be folded about the continuous fold line 5.
  • Figure 5 shows an illustration of a blank 20 for forming the container 1.
  • the blank 20 is formed from a single sheet of card that has been cut around a perimeter so as to form the two dimensional shape shown.
  • the lines in the image that extend across the surface of the blank 20 illustrate where cuts, folds or creases need to be made in order to form the container 1 from the blank 20. These lines also divide the blank 20 into a plurality of segments referred to as panels and flaps.
  • the panels form the eventual faces of the container 1.
  • the labelling of each panel i.e. "front”, “back”, “left”, “right”, “top” or “bottom” correspond to the eventual position that each panel will occupy on the container 1 in its normal orientation and correspond to the faces and sides of Figures 1 to 4 .
  • the flaps are designed to be folded or 'tucked' into the housing by the lid 7 and the base 9 to entirely enclose the interior of the housing 10 when the container 1 is closed.
  • the panels referred to as 'hidden' are hidden in the sense that they are fully or partially obscured from an outside view when the container 1 has been assembled from the blank 20.
  • the hidden upper left panel 104a is partially obscured by the upper left panel 104c.
  • the lower front panel 102c is wrapped on top of the hidden lower front panel 102b so as to fully obscure it.
  • An inner frame, formed from panels 102a, 102b, 104a, 104b, 108a and 108b is provided which adds additional rigidity to the container 1.
  • the front face 2 is multi-layered in that it comprises a part of the inner frame (in particular front panels 102a and 102b) and the lower front panel 102c that overlays the panel 102b.
  • a dashed back pivot line 113 indicates where a crease in the back face 6 is made so as to form the pivot line 13 of Figure 3 about which the lid 7 rotates.
  • a dashed continuous fold line 105 extends entirely across the midpoint of the blank 20 such that the blank 20 is substantially symmetrically foldable about said fold line 105.
  • the material underlining the continuous fold line 105 comprises a plurality of cut sections 22 which are primarily connected by creases in the card along a straight line. The cut sections 22 improve the ease with which the container 1 may eventually be collapsed and then folded about the continuous fold line 105.
  • Panels 102c and 107b are however separated by a cut line that partially extends along the continuous fold line 105 so as to define the boundary between these panels.
  • the blank 20 is also cut at the boundary between panels 107a and 104c; 107c and 108c; 103a and 107e; 103b and 107e; 103c and 109; 103d and 109 so as to separate these panels and flaps, and partially cut between the edges of 107f and 107e, as well as 103e and 109.
  • FIG. 6 A front view and a back view of the folded blank 30 are shown by Figures 6 and 7 respectively. As shown, the outside material that overlies the front side of the folded blank 30 corresponds to the lower front panel 102c and the lower left panel 104d. The material that overlies the back surface of the folded blank 30 corresponds to the front lid panel 107b, the left lid panel 107a and the upper left panel 104c.
  • the final fold that is made to the blank 20 to produce the folded blank 30 is made about the continuous fold line 105, which now extends along an outer edge of the folded blank 30.
  • a side view of the folded blank 30 is shown in Figure 8 , wherein the front lid panel 107b, the left lid panel 107a and the upper left panel 104c are shown, however the continuous fold line 105 on the opposing side is not.
  • the folded blank 30 has been wrapped in a plastic wrapper and inserted into a tobacco container 34 comprising loose tobacco (commonly referred to as rolling tobacco).
  • the plastic wrapper 32 tightly seals the folded blank 30 and helps to maintain it in its folded configuration.
  • the folded blank 30 may be retained in a paper sleeve.
  • the tobacco container 34 is a cylindrical tin, however the footprint of the folded blank 30 is suitably small so as to fit inside most tobacco containers, including pouches, or potentially boxes.
  • the folded blank 30 fits neatly within the tin 34 and is presented to the user upon opening the tin 34.
  • the folded blank 30 with a tobacco container 34 as a user is most likely to have need of an empty container 1 at the point at which he or she is accessing the tobacco container so as to assemble a RYO/MYO cigarette.
  • a container 1 with the loose tobacco the user is encouraged to assemble a plurality of cigarettes at a convenient time and store these cigarettes in the container 1, which can then be carried on their person, for use at a later time.
  • the user In order to form the container 1 from the folded blank 30, the user must tear the plastic wrapper 32 (or paper sleeve), remove the folded blank 30 and unfold it about the continuous fold line 105 so as to form a flat collapsed housing or 'collapsed container'.
  • the continuous fold line 105 extending across the front face (panels 102a-c) and the right face (panels 108a-d) overlie the continuous fold line 105 extending across the back face (panels 106a, 106b and 107d) and the left face (panels 104a-d) in that the lines are parallel and lie on top of one another.
  • the collapsed housing is then simultaneously unfolded about a second fold line 42 adjoining the back and right faces and a third fold line 44 adjoining the front and left faces so as to produce the partially formed container 41 shown in Figure 10 .
  • the user then has to fold the flaps 103a-e, the top lid panel 107e, the hidden back lid panel 107f and the bottom panel 109 into the interior of the housing 10 in order to form the container 1.
  • the user may then open or close the container 1 at will, or perform the reverse steps of 'un-tucking' the flaps 103a-e and panels 107e, 107f and 109, collapse the housing and fold the collapsed container about the continuous fold line 5 so as to produce the folded blank 30 e.g. for storage.
