Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a pouch for tobacco comprising a pocket for containing the tobacco and having an opening that is provided with a zipper closure, wherein the zipper closure has intermittent structural alterations to provide an intermittent sensory perception, like e.g. an audible and/or tactile sensation, when the zipper is opened or closed.
- Consumables like e.g. tobacco are often sold in form of a pouch package.
- Pouches for tobacco as well as methods of manufacturing the same are well known in the art.
- Exemplary embodiments of pouches for tobacco are disclosed in NL 1 001 009 C2 and EP 1 215 973 A1 .
- a typical example of a classical pouch for tobacco comprises a pocket and a flap which allows for closing of the pocket of the pouch by folding the flap over the pocket.
- Such pouches are filled with tobacco, sealed and wrapped for sale.
- the pouches of the prior art comprise means to releasably close or seal the pocket of the pouch.
- Pouches or bags especially made of thermoplastic materials having a so-called zipper as releasable closure member are known in the prior art.
- Zippers consist of complementary rib and groove profiles wherein the rib profile is forced into the opposing groove profile to effect closure of the zipper.
- reliable closing of such zippers requires good eyesight because it is difficult to line up the rib and groove profile so that they are in an adequate position for interlocking. Thus, it may happen that a zipper is not or only partially closed.
- the closing of the zipper has been attempted, the user is not certain if the pouch is really closed and the content of the pouch is securely packed inside.
- the present invention provides a pouch for tobacco comprising a pocket for containing the tobacco and having an opening providing access to the interior of the pocket, wherein the opening of the pocket is provided with a zipper closure for releasably sealing the opening, and wherein the zipper closure comprises two opposing, longitudinally-extending and interlockable rib and groove profiles, characterized in that at least a part of one of the profiles has intermittent structural alterations along the length of the profiles to provide an intermittent sensory perception, like e.g. an audible and/or tactile sensation, when opening or closing the zipper closure of the pouch.
- the present invention also provides a pouch for tobacco comprising a pocket for containing the tobacco and having an opening providing access to the interior of the pocket, a flap for covering of the pocket of the pouch, wherein the pouch is provided with a zipper closure for releasably sealing the pouch, and wherein the zipper closure comprises two opposing, longitudinally-extending and interlockable rib and groove profiles, wherein one of the profiles is arranged on a surface of the flap and the respective opposing profile is arranged on an outer surface of the pouch, characterized in that at least a part of one of the profiles has intermittent structural alterations along the length of the profiles to provide an intermittent sensory perception, like e.g. an audible and/or tactile sensation, when opening or closing the zipper closure of the pouch.
- an intermittent sensory perception like e.g. an audible and/or tactile sensation
- the structural alterations of the profiles provide an intermittent audible and/or tactile sensation when the rib profile is pressed into the groove profile to close the zipper thereby indicating or confirming to the user that the zipper is properly closed.
- the audible sensation which is produced by closing the zipper can be perceived by e.g. a clicking sound.
- the structural alterations of the profiles provide an intermittent audible and/or tactile sensation when the complementary profiles are pulled apart along their length to open the zipper thereby confirming the user that the zipper is properly opened. Therefore, these structural alterations of the reclosable zipper of the pouch for tobacco provide an intermittent sensory perception, like e.g. an audible and/or tactile sensation, when the zipper is opened or closed. Hence, even under difficult conditions like e.g. in places with poor visibility, the user gets confirmation that the pouch for tobacco is properly opened or closed due to the intermittent sensory perception obtained by the intermittent structural alterations.
- the pouch of the invention can be manufactured by methods known in the art for the manufacture of classical pouch packages.
- the inventive pouch for tobacco comprises a pocket which may be formed by a front wall and a back wall which are opposed to each other. Usually, the side edges of the front and back walls are sealed together, leaving an opening through which the interior of the pocket of the pouch is accessible.
- the pocket also may be formed of a front wall, a back wall and a bottom wall as well as optionally one or more side walls, like e.g. in a block pouch, block-bottom pouch or stand-up pouch.
- the pouch may comprise a flap which can be arranged as part of the front, back or side wall or which may be provided as separate wall of the pouch. The flap may be arranged at the opening region and allows for covering of the pocket of the pouch by folding the flap over the pocket at or near the opening. Usually, the flap has a length sufficient to cover the opening of the pocket.
- the present invention is not limited to a certain type of pouch and in principle works with all known pouch architectures in which the zipper closure is integrated.
- the pouch For releasably closing the pouch of the present invention, the pouch comprises a zipper closure provided at the opening of the pocket which makes it possible for the consumer to reclose the pocket after accessing the content of the pocket thereby further preventing loss of contents by spillage from the pocket.
- the reclosable zipper also further reduces ingress of air into the pocket and loss of moisture from the contents of the pocket ensuring that the content remains moist and does not dry out.
- tobacco within the pocket is kept fresh (by the preservation of aroma and moisture) over a prolonged period of time after the time of first use.
- the pouch comprises a flap and a zipper closure wherein one of the two opposing rib and groove profiles forming the zipper closure is arranged on a surface of the flap and the respective opposing rib or groove profile is arranged on an outer surface of the pouch.
- the zipper closure of the inventive pouch for tobacco comprises two opposing, longitudinally-extending and interlockable rib and groove profiles wherein the longitudinal extension of the profiles is substantially parallel to the rim of the opening of the tobacco pouch. It is also possible that the longitudinal extension of the profiles is substantially parallel to the rim of the flap and to the longitudinal extension of the base of the tobacco pouch, respectively.
- rib profile means the male part of the zipper which is complementary to the groove profile forming the corresponding counterpart to the rib profile.
- the rib profile comprises a stem and a thickened protrusion.
- the rib profile may be arrow-shaped or be in the form of a hook.
- the zipper closure of the inventive pouch for tobacco also comprises a groove profile.
- groove profile denotes the female part of the zipper which is complementary to the rib profile forming the corresponding counterpart to the groove profile.
- the groove profile comprises a mouth and a cavity for enclosing the thickened protrusion of the rib profile.
- each, the rib and the groove profiles are adapted to interengage with their respective corresponding counterpart to form the resealable zipper closure of the opening of the tobacco pouch. It is preferred that the rib and groove profiles jointly form a tight seal along their length in order to form a substantially leak-proof zipper closure.
- each, the rib and the groove profiles are adapted to interengage with their respective corresponding counterpart to form the resealable zipper closure of the tobacco pouch having a flap to which one of the profiles is attached and wherein the respective opposing profile is attached to an outer surface of the pouch. It is preferred that the rib and groove profiles jointly form a tight seal along their length.
- one side of the pocket preferably at or near the opening, is provided with either the rib or the groove profile. Accordingly, the opposite side of the opening of the pocket is then provided with the respective complementary profile.
- the zipper closure fixes the flap to an outside surface of the pouch
- the flap in the manufacture of the pouch for tobacco the flap, preferably at or near its rim, is provided with either the rib or the groove profile.
- an outer surface of the pouch preferably at the front or back wall of the pocket, is then provided with the respective complementary profile.
- the attachment of the profiles to the pouch may be realized by several fixing methods known in the art.
- the rib and groove profiles are attached to the pouch material by thermal bonding or adhesion.
- the rib and groove profiles further comprise respective supports. Such a support is intended to enlarge the basis of the profile thereby providing a larger surface that can be attached to the material of the pouch.
- the complementary profiles are sealed together at their ends, e.g. by ultrasonic crushing, to provide permanent closure of the zipper at its ends which prevents detachment of the zipper from the tobacco pouch.
- At least a part of one of the profiles has intermittent structural alterations along the length of the profiles.
- structural alterations of the profiles mean that the form or shape of said profiles is not uniform but instead it is irregular, i.e. it comprises structural deformations along the length of the profiles.
- the structural alterations are intermittently present on the profiles.
- the profiles exhibit these structural alterations at distributed spacings so that the structurally altered parts of the profiles are adjacent to parts of the profiles which do not have structural alterations.
- the spacings can be at regular intervals or at irregular intervals.
- the structural alterations are arranged at regular intervals along the length of the profiles. It is also preferred that the intermittent structural alterations are arranged along the complete length of the profiles. More preferably, the structural alterations are arranged at regular intervals along the complete length of the profiles. This has the advantage that a constant audible and/or tactile sensation over the whole length of the profiles can be perceived upon opening or closure of the zipper.
- indentations may be indentations.
- the term "indentation” shall be understood as a recess or notch on the edge or surface of the profiles of the zipper closure.
- these indentations are crushings.
- indentations in the form of incisions wherein the incisions can be either with or without removal of material.
- the incisions may be produced by a blade, a laser, an ultrasonic or other similar means known in the art.
- the depth of the indentations is at least 10%, preferably 25%, more preferably 50%, even more preferably 75%, most preferably 100% of the height of the profiles.
- the depth of the indentations is measured towards the base of the profiles starting from the side of the profile that is opposite to the profile's base. The deeper the indentations of the profiles are, the better the audible and/or tactile sensation can be perceived by the user when opening or closing the zipper.
- the indentations are arranged in the profile in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the profile.
- the structural alterations of the profiles may also be flarings.
- flaring shall be understood as a widening in the shape e.g. of the edges or surfaces of the profiles of the zipper closure. Preferably, these flarings are bulges.
- the width of the profiles in the area of the flarings is 10% to 200% broader than the width in the adjacent areas of the profiles which do not have flarings.
- the width of the profiles in the area of the flarings is 50% to 150%, more preferably 75% to 125% broader than the width in the adjacent areas of the profiles which do not have flarings.
- said structural alterations may be arranged in an offset position to each other when the zipper closure is closed.
- the structural alterations are indentations, like e.g. incisions, it is preferred that the indentations are arranged in an offset position to each other when the zipper closure is closed since this arrangement minimizes the likelihood of spilling the content of the pouch through the closed zipper. This is especially preferred in embodiments where the zipper closure is located at or near the opening of the tobacco pouch.
- both the rib profile and the groove profile of the zipper closure have the intermittent structural alterations it is also possible that said structural alterations are arranged in a directly opposing position to each other when the zipper is closed.
- the structural alterations are flarings, like e.g. bulges, it is preferred that the indentations are arranged in a directly opposing position to each other when the zipper is closed since this arrangement minimizes the likelihood of spilling the content of the pouch through the closed zipper. This is especially preferred in embodiments where the zipper closure is located at or near the opening of the tobacco pouch.
- the profile may e.g. exhibit flarings and incisions.
- the flarings and incisions may be arranged along the longitudinal extension of the profile side by side, wherein the flarings and incisions may be arranged at regular and/or irregular intervals.
- the flarings and incisions may be arranged in an alternating way along the length of the profile. It is possible that profile parts which do not have structural alterations are adjacent to the profile parts exhibiting the flarings or incisions. Alternatively, the flarings and incisions can also be arranged on the same spot of the profile resulting in a profile part with flarings which themselves comprise one or more incisions.
- the supports of the profiles may comprise further modifications.
- these modifications are elevations like e.g. ribs.
- the ribs are arranged in a substantially parallel position to the profiles.
