  • closure tab 242 and the housing or complementary cutout 239 are schematically illustrated in the accompanying figures.
  • the closure tab 242 and the housing or cutout 239 can be the subject of many variants known to those skilled in the art.
  • a lid 240 adapted to be alternately open and closed essentially allows the filling of the box 200 in cigarette tubes 100.
  • the presence and use of this lid 240 is also not useful in the context of the invention .
  • the housing 200 further comprises a tongue 270 defined by a cutout 250.
  • the cutout 270 is adapted to delimit a tongue 270 articulated on a wall element of the housing 200, in an angle or corner of the to allow after breaking of the precut 250, to open the housing 200 at the tongue 270 to access the items 100 while allowing the reclosing of the housing 200 by replacement of the tongue 270 in its initial closed position.
  • the precut 250 is placed at a housing angle 200, preferably at an angle opposite the lid 240 and even more preferably still at the front wall 231 and bottom 220 .
  • the cutout 250 is adapted to define an L-shaped fin 270 consisting of two wings 272, 274 perpendicular to each other.
  • the two wings 272, 274 are connected by a line 273 which originally coincides with an edge of the housing, preferably the lower front edge 222 which connects the bottom 220 to the front wall 231.
  • the wing 272 is formed on the bottom 220.
  • the wing 274 is formed in the front wall 231.
  • the cutout 250 is a cutout whose contour corresponds generally to a C.
  • the tongue 270 is thus articulated on the bottom 220 around a straight line 275 parallel to the front edge 222.
  • the hinge edge 275 of the tongue 270 on the bottom 220 is preferably formed of a line of weakness in the thickness of the bottom 220, for example by localized crushing of the material constituting the bottom 220 at this line. articulation 275 in order to reduce the thickness of the wall constituting the bottom 220 at this line 275.
  • the precut 250 is preferably made of non-continuous cutting lines, isolated from each other although aligned. Part of the precut 250 coincides, as can be seen by examining the appended figures, with edges of the housing 200, preferably the edge 224 connecting the bottom 220 to the side wall 232 and the edge 222 connecting the bottom 220 to the front wall 231.
  • the cutout 250 is thus delimited by two straight lines 252, 254 parallel to each other.
  • One of these lines 252 comprises two sections which extend parallel to the edges 224 and 234 respectively connecting the bottom 220 to the side wall 232 and the front wall 231 to the side wall 232, at a distance from these edges 224, 234.
  • the other line 254 comprises two sections which coincide with a portion of the abovementioned edges 224, 234 respectively connecting the bottom 220 to the side wall 232 and the side wall 232 to the front wall 231.
  • the precut 250 also includes a curved segment 256, preferably in a circle sector connecting the ends of the lines 252, 254 opposite the articulation 275.
  • the segment 256 extends as the ends of the lines 252, 254 opposite to the line hinge 275 in the front wall 231.
  • This segment 256 defines a convex tongue 270 and therefore a complementary opening formed in the concave housing.
  • the width L1 of the tongue 270 separating the two rectilinear sections 252, 254 of the precut 250 parallel to each other is greater than the section of articles 100, preferably greater than twice this section.
  • the width L1 of the tongue 270 is of the order of magnitude of 2.5 times the diameter of the cigarette tubes 100.
  • the width L1 of the tongue 270 is preferably between 10 and 30 mm, preferably between 15 and 25 mm and very advantageously of the order of 20 mm.
  • the length L2 of the end flange 274 of the tongue 270 formed in the front wall 231 is greater than the section of the articles 100, preferably greater than twice this section and very advantageously of the order of 2 , 5 times this section.
  • the length L2 is preferably of the order of 2.5 times the diameter of the cigarette tubes.
  • the length L 2 is thus preferably between 10 and 30 mm, advantageously 15 and 25 mm and very preferably of the order of 20 mm.
  • the length L2 is considered between the vertex of the curved segment 256 and the hinge line 273 which coincides with the edge 222.
  • the distance L3 connecting the hinge line 275 of the tongue 270 and the front edge 222, which length L3 corresponds to the length of the wing 272 of the tongue adjacent to the hinge zone 275, is preferably equal to approximately half the length of the filter tips, is typically between 5 and 20 mm and very advantageously of the order of 10 mm.
  • the radius of curvature of the curved segment 256 is preferably equal to half the width L1.
  • the aforementioned means are preferably formed by an edge of the cutout 250 not strictly rectilinear after opening the tongue 270.
  • Such a non-strictly rectilinear edge can be obtained by a discontinuous precut 250.
  • the areas of the precut line which do not correspond to the origin to a complete cut of the material constituting the Case 100 in its thickness thus constitutes a material which is torn off when the tongue 270 is opened and generates slight localized projections constituting means for hooking the tongue 270 on the body of the casing 100 during the repositioning of the tongue 270 .
  • the precut 250 and therefore the tongue 270 are placed on the side of the filter 110 of the cigarette tubes 100.
  • the tubes are placed in the housing 200 with their filter 110 adjacent the front wall 231 and this extending perpendicular to the front wall 231, that is to say parallel to the bottom 220 and the side walls 232 and 233.
  • the housing 200 may be made of any suitable material suitable for cutting 250 and isolating a tongue 270. According to the invention, the housing 200 is preferably made of cardboard.
  • the housing 200 may alternatively be made of composite material.
  • the housing 200 according to the present invention is preferably used by positioning the housing 200 bearing on a horizontal support by its lateral face 232 of smaller dimensions, adjacent to the cutout 250.
  • the invention thus allows, by simple gravity, a flow of almost all the tubes 100 without particular handling.
  • the housing 200 according to the invention may, if necessary, be slightly inclined in equilibrium on its edge 224 so that the tongue 270 is located at the lowest point of the distributor housing.
  • the system according to the present invention which comprises a pre-cut opening in an angle on the front side of the housing makes it possible to open the housing without emitting pressure on the tubes 100.
  • the positioning of the precut 250 on the side of the filter 110 makes it possible not to damage the tubes 100 during their gripping.
  • a re-sealable tongue 270 makes it possible to prevent the remaining tubes 100 from coming out alone after the first use.
