Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to a pouch for tobacco which, in addition to a first compartment to house tobacco, further comprises a second compartment which is suitable to accommodate objects or articles like e.g. give-aways, commercial products, lighter, matches or a booklet of cigarette paper.
  • 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.
  • the consumer willing to enjoy a cigarette usually needs further articles in order to prepare and ignite a cigarette prepared from the tobacco in the pouch. It would be advantageous to provide means associated with the tobacco pouch which allows the consumer to carry said additional articles together with the pouch.
  • Pouches with a second compartment to house articles in addition to tobacco are known in the art. Exemplary embodiments are disclosed in GB 213 773 A , GB 178 341 A , DE 20 2011 001 898 U1 , NL 8701152 and EP 1 913 826 B1 .
  • the pouch packages described in the prior art always require the use of additional pieces of flexible flat material which is then welded to a classical pouch in order to form the further pocket.
  • the use of such additional pieces of flexible flat material is cost intensive and the need for additional welding steps lead to more complicated manufacturing processes with increased failure rates.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a pouch comprising a second compartment which requires less material and which does not complicate manufacturing processes.
  • the present invention provides a pouch for tobacco with at least two compartments, the pouch comprising a first flexible sheet part forming a pouch front wall and a second flexible sheet part forming a pouch back wall, wherein pouch front wall and pouch back wall are sealed together along opposing first and second side edges of the pouch by first and second pouch side seals, respectively.
  • the pouch comprises a first compartment defined by the pouch back wall, the pouch front wall, as well as the first and the second pouch side seals.
  • the pouch of the present invention is characterized in that at least one of the first and second flexible sheet part is at least in part a layered material with at least a first layer and a second layer, wherein the first layer comprises a tongue of extra material which has no corresponding counterpart in the second layer.
  • the pouch comprises a second compartment formed by folding the tongue of extra material against a part of the first layer of the layered material and by sealing opposing first and second tongue side edges by first and second tongue side seals, wherein the first and second tongue side seals form part of the first and second pouch side seals.
  • the second compartment is defined by the tongue and a part of the first layer of the layered material forming front and back wall of the second compartment and by first and second tongue side seals.
  • the present invention provides a pouch for tobacco with at least two compartments, the pouch comprising a first flexible sheet part forming a pouch front wall and a second flexible sheet part forming a pouch back wall, wherein pouch front wall and pouch back wall are sealed together along opposing side edges of the pouch by first and second pouch side seals.
  • the pouch comprises a first compartment defined by the pouch back wall, the pouch front wall, as well as the first and the second pouch side seals, wherein an access opening of the first compartment is defined by the pouch back wall and an upper edge part of the pouch front wall.
  • the first flexible sheet part is at least in part a layered material with at least a first layer, a second layer and at least one additional layer being arranged between the first and second layer.
  • the first and second layer extend over the additional layer and form a layered tongue of extra material which has no corresponding counterpart in the additional layer.
  • the tongue forms integral part of the first and second layer and, thus, consists of first and second layer material.
  • the pouch further comprises a second compartment formed by folding the layered tongue of extra material and by sealing opposing first and second tongue side edges by first and second tongue side seals.
  • the layered tongue is folded twice such that a second compartment is formed which is defined by layered tongue material forming the front and back wall and by first and second tongue side seals, wherein the first and second tongue side seals form part of the first and second pouch side seals.
  • the second compartment is formed into one of the walls of the pouch which is formed of a flexible sheet part, e.g. the second compartment is integrated into a part of the flexible sheet that is formed of a layered material which is used to form a flap, front wall and/or back wall of the pouch.
  • Front and/or back wall of the second compartment are formed by a tongue of extra material which is integral part of the first or the first and the second layer of the layered material of the flexible sheet part.
  • the second compartment is integrated into the pouch without the need for arranging additional pieces of material.
  • the pouch of the present invention can be produced without the need for further welding steps. It is not necessary that the second compartment is located at a position which allows for successful placement of additional pieces of material.
  • the process of manufacturing the pouch of the invention is less prone to failure compared to the manufacturing process of prior art pouches comprising an additional pocket because arrangement of extra pieces of material for the second compartment are avoided. Since in the pouch of the present invention, the second compartment is formed from material which does not comprise all layers of the layered part of the flexible sheet, the total amount of material used is reduced.
  • the pouch of the invention is made from a first and a second sheet part forming front and back wall of the pouch, wherein first and second sheet part may be integral part of one continuous flexible sheet or wherein first and second sheet parts are separate pieces of flexible sheet. Opposing lateral edges of the pouch front wall and the pouch back wall are sealed together to form first and second pouch side seals, respectively.
  • first and second sheet parts may be integral part of one continuous flexible sheet or wherein first and second sheet parts are separate pieces of flexible sheet.
  • Opposing lateral edges of the pouch front wall and the pouch back wall are sealed together to form first and second pouch side seals, respectively.
  • Typical pouch architectures comprise a rolled pouch, a block pouch and a stand-up pouch.
  • the present invention is not limited to a certain type of pouch and in principle works with all known pouch architectures.
  • the pouch can comprise a flap configured to cover an opening of the first compartment.
  • Said flap can form integral part of the first or the second flexible sheet part.
  • the flap is built from the second flexible sheet part forming the back wall of the pouch
  • the first compartment is built by arranging the first and second sheet parts relative to each other and by sealing the first and second sheet parts together along opposing side edges of the pouch by first and second pouch side seals.
  • first sheet part and the second sheet part of the pouch of the invention are integral part of one continuous flexible sheet
  • first compartment if formed by folding the second sheet part against the first sheet part and by welding of first and second pouch side seals along opposing first and second side edges of the pouch, respectively.
  • the first compartment is formed by arranging the second sheet part on the first sheet part, by welding of first and second pouch side seals along opposing first and second side edges of the pouch and by welding first and second sheet part with a bottom seal along a bottom edge of the pouch.
  • the second compartment of the pouch of the invention is built by folding the tongue of extra material against a part of the pouch and by sealing opposing tongue side edges by first and second tongue side seals.
  • the second compartment is preferably formed by folding the tongue against a part of the first layer of the layered material of the flexible sheet part and by subsequent sealing of first and second tongue side seals.
  • the second compartment is preferably formed by folding the tongue twice, wherein the tongue is first folded against a part of the flexible sheet and subsequently a part of the tongue is folded back against the tongue itself. Then, first and second tongue side seals are formed.
  • the first and second tongue side seals formed simultaneously with the first and second pouch side seals and, thus, the first and second tongue side seals form part of the first and second pouch side seals. No additional sealing steps are required and the production can be performed on machinery and equipment already available and used for production of classical tobacco pouches without a second compartment as provided by the pouch of the invention.
  • the second compartment can be arranged at any site of the pouch, provided the tongue of extra material is positioned and folded accordingly.
  • the second compartment may be arranged on an outer surface of the pouch, e.g. on an outward surface of the pouch front wall or the pouch back wall. It is also possible to arrange the second compartment within the first compartment e.g. by arranging the second compartment on an inward surface of the pouch front wall or the pouch back wall.
  • the dimension of the second compartment is defined by the dimension of the tongue of extra material and by the folding strategy.
  • the tongue of extra material exhibits a width w t that extends in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the first and second pouch side seals.
  • the exact value of w t depends on the overall width of the pouch.
  • the width w t of the tongue extends from the first side edge of the pouch to the second side edge of the pouch. By doing so, it is possible to form the first and second pouch side seals simultaneously with the first and second tongue side seals.
  • the tongue of extra material exhibits a height h t that extends in a direction parallel to the direction of the first and second pouch side seals.
  • the exact value of the height h t depends on the overall height of the pouch.
  • the height h t of the tongue is selected such that a height of the resulting second compartment does not exceed a height of the first compartment.
  • At least one of the first and second flexible sheet parts comprises or consists of a layered material.
  • Said layered material comprises at least a first layer and a second layer.

  • the first layer and the second layer can be directly or indirectly affixed to each other so that a movement of the first layer relative to the second layer is inhibited or prohibited.
  • Fixation is a direct fixation if at the site of fixation there is no further layer or material between the first and second layer.
  • Fixation is an indirect fixation if at the site of fixation there is some additional material or layer present. Such direct or indirect fixation can be achieved simply by sealing the first and second pouch side seals.
  • the first and second layers are affixed prior to formation of the pouch.
  • the first and second layers can be affixed to each other over virtually the whole area of the layered material e.g. in order to build a laminate.
