Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packet of smoke articles configured for housing a group of smoke articles of reduced dimension, i.e. a group of smoke articles having a longitudinal dimension that is less than or the same as a larger transverse dimension of the packet.
  • a rigid hinged-lid packet of cigarettes comprises an inner package of metal foil that completely wraps a group of cigarettes, and an outer container that houses the inner package internally and is provided with a hinged lid.
  • the outer container is cup-shaped, houses the group of cigarettes and has an open top end, whereas the lid, which is also cup-shaped, is hinged to the outer container to rotate, with respect to the outer container, between an open and a closed position of the open end.
  • An inner frame is further provided, which is folded as a "U" and is connected inside the outer container to protrude partially outside the open end and engage a corresponding inner surface of the lid when the lid is positioned in the closed position.
  • the packets of traditional type are unsuitable for housing a group of cigarettes of reduced longitudinal dimension inasmuch as, when only a few cigarettes are present, they could fall into positions from which it is difficult to extract the cigarettes.
  • twin packets In order to overcome this drawback, packets of cigarettes have been developed that are known as “twin packets” or “double pocket packets".
  • a twin packet consists of two inner semi-packets that are provided with respective metal foil inner packages, are coupled with a single inner frame a central portion of which is folded as a book and is interposed between the semi-packets, and are arranged alongside within the same outer container provided with a hinged lid.
  • tobacco is very sensitive to the effects of the external environment, inasmuch as in contact with the atmosphere its organoleptic characteristics tend to vary both by the effect of variations in humidity (tobacco may dry excessively or absorb too much moisture) and by the evaporation of the volatile substances with which the tobacco has been impregnated (especially in the case of cigarettes with particular aromas such as menthol).
  • the aforesaid twin packets are then cellophane-wrapped, i.e. they are wrapped in a heat-sealable overwrapping of airtight plastic material. Nevertheless, the heat-sealable overwrapping might not be sufficient to fully preserve the organoleptic characteristics of the tobacco contained in a packet of cigarettes, in particular when the packet of cigarettes is consumed some time after manufacture. Further, when the packet is first opened, the overwrapping is removed and thus exposing the tobacco of the cigarettes contained in the packet to the outer environment; if the cigarettes contained in the packet are not consumed rapidly after the first opening of the packet, the organoleptic characteristics of the tobacco contained in the residual cigarettes can be noticeably deteriorated.
  • packets have been developed known as "sealed twin packets" of the type disclosed in international patent applications WO2010/026020A1 and WO02/30790A2 .
  • WO2010/026020A1 and WO02/30790A2 disclose rigid packets of cigarettes comprising an outer container provided with a hinged lid that houses two separated groups of cigarettes. Such packets are provided with an airtight inner package, which is heat-sealed and comprises a sheet of heat-sealable material that forms an airtight barrier.
  • the inner package has two cigarettes extraction openings, one for each separate group of cigarettes, which are closed by respective reclosable adhesive panels.
  • the reclosable adhesive panels are each provided with a reusable adhesive strip that does not dry that enables the respective panel to be locked several times in a closed position of the corresponding cigarettes extraction opening.
  • a rigid inner frame is arranged inside the inner package.
  • the rigid inner frame embraces the group of cigarettes, has a front wall, a pair of lateral walls and a central portion folded as a book, and has the function of protecting the cigarettes during folding and heat-sealing of the inner package sheet of heat-sealable material, and, by the folded central portion, separating the two groups of cigarettes.
  • the packets disclosed in WO2010/026020A1 and WO02/30790A2 enable one group of cigarettes to be consumed first and, subsequently, the remaining group of cigarettes to be consumed, thus preserving better over time the organoleptic characteristics of the tobacco contained in the group of cigarettes consumed subsequently.
  • a drawback of the packets disclosed in WO2010/026020A1 and WO02/30790A2 is that in order to extract a cigarette from the packet, the user has to open the lid firstly and subsequently has to open one of the two reclosable adhesive panels, grasping a graspable tab with which such panels are provided.
  • the operation of opening the reclosable adhesive panels can be quite laborious, especially in the case of a user who has reduced manual dexterity, because the graspable tabs of the panels have reduced dimensions, i.e. of a few millimetres.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a packet of smoke articles that is free from the drawbacks described above, i.e. that is at the same time easy and inexpensive to manufacture.
  • number 1 indicates as a whole a rigid packet of cigarettes extending along a longitudinal axis A parallel to a longitudinal axis of prevalent extent of the cigarettes.
  • the packet of cigarettes 1 comprises an outer container 2, a lid 3, which is hinged behind to the outer container 2 along a hinge 4 to rotate between a closed position (illustrated in figures 1 and 2 ) and an open position (illustrated in figures 3 and 4 ), a first inner package 5, that encloses a first group 6 of cigarettes and is housed inside the outer container 2, and a second inner package 7, that encloses a second group 8 of cigarettes and is housed inside the outer container 2 alongside the first inner package 5.
  • the container 2 is of rigid type, i.e. is formed by a rigid wrapping material, is cup-shaped, has a parallelpipedon shape and has an open top end 9, a bottom wall 10 opposite the open top end 9, a front wall 11 and a rear wall 12 that are parallel to and opposite one another, and a first lateral wall 13 and a second lateral wall 14 that are parallel to one another and interposed between the walls 11 e 12.
  • the length of the diagonal of the bottom wall 10 of the container 2 is greater than or the same as the longitudinal dimension, i.e. measured parallel to the longitudinal axis A, of the cigarettes constituting the first group 6 and the second group 8 of cigarettes.
  • the lid 3 is cup-shaped, has a parallelpipedon shape, and has a top wall 12, parallel to and opposite the bottom wall 10 of the container 2 when the lid 3 is arranged in the closed position, a front wall 16, coplanar with the front wall 11 of the container 2 when the lid 3 is arranged in the closed position, a rear wall 17, hinged by means of the hinge 4 to the rear wall 12 of the container 2 and coplanar with the rear wall 12 of the container 2 when the lid 3 is arranged in the closed position, a first lateral wall 18, coplanar with the first lateral wall 13 of the container 2 when the lid 3 is arranged in the closed position, and a second lateral wall 19, coplanar with the second lateral wall 14 of the container 2 when the lid 3 is arranged in the closed position.
  • the lid 3 between the respectively front and rear walls 16 and 17 and the lateral walls 18, 19, four longitudinal edges are defined that are arranged parallel to the cigarettes of the first group 6 and of the second group 8 of cigarettes.
  • four transverse edges are defined that are arranged perpendicularly to the cigarettes of the first group 6 and of the second group 8 of cigarettes.
  • all the edges are sharp; according to other embodiments that are not illustrated and are completely equivalent part of the longitudinal and/or transverse edges can be chamfered or rounded.
  • the first inner package 5 in particular of the sealed type, has a parallelpipedon shape and has a top wall 20 and a bottom wall 21 that are parallel to and opposite one another and face respectively, when the lid 3 is arranged in the closed position, an inner surface of the top wall 15 of the lid 3 and an inner surface of the bottom wall 10 of the container 2, a front wall 22 and a rear wall 23 that are parallel to and opposite one another and face respectively, when the lid 3 is arranged in the closed position, inner surfaces of the front walls 11, 16 respectively of the container 2 and of the lid 3 and an inner surface of the rear wall 12 of the container 2, and a first lateral wall 24 and a second lateral wall 25 that are parallel to one another and interposed between the walls 22 and 23 that respectively face, when the lid 3 is arranged in the closed position, an inner surface of the first lateral wall 13 of the container 2 and an inner surface of the first lateral wall 18 of the lid 3, and an outer surface of a first lateral wall 26 of the second inner package 7.
  • the first inner package 5 is made by folding a wrapper sheet 27, illustrated in figure 15 made of metal or transparent foil, i.e. of heat-sealable soft inner package material devoid of rigidity, around the first group 6 of cigarettes (such as to be in direct contact with the cigarettes of the first group 6 of cigarettes) and is stabilised by heat-sealing.
  • the first inner package 5 further comprises a first cigarettes extraction opening 28, which is arranged at the top wall 20 and at the front wall 22 of the first inner package 5 and is bounded by a separating line 29, illustrated by a dotted line in figures 6 and 7 .
  • the separating line 29 can be separated from the start from the remaining part of the first inner package 5 or can be tearable, can be typically a perforated line, to be torn completely at the first opening of the packet 1 of cigarettes. Generally, it is preferable that the separating line 29 is tearable to simplify handling of the wrapper sheet 27 used to form the first inner package 5.
  • the length of the diagonal of the bottom wall 21 of the first inner package 5 is less than the longitudinal dimension of the cigarettes constituting the first group 6 of cigarettes, this preventing the cigarettes of the first group 6 of cigarettes falling and getting stuck on the bottom of the first inner package 5 and making extraction of even the last cigarettes easy.
  • the packet of cigarettes 1 comprises a first sealing flap 30 that is reusable for closing the first cigarettes extraction opening 28 of the first inner package 5.
  • the first sealing flap 30 is of the "open & close” type, covers, when the lid 3 is arranged in the closed position, the first extraction opening 28 of the first inner package 5, and is superimposed on the rear wall 23, on the top wall 20 and on the front wall 22 of the first inner package 5.
  • the first sealing flap 30 is fixed to the first inner package 5 by a repositionable adhesive that does not dry (i.e. always remains sticky), i.e.
  • the first sealing flap 30 adheres, when the lid 3 is arranged in the closed position, to the first inner package 5 to close (seal) the first extraction opening 28 and can be temporarily lifted from the first inner package 5 to free the first extraction opening 28 and thus enable a cigarette to be extracted through the first extraction opening 28.
  • the presence of the repositionable adhesive that does not dry, which is applied to a lower surface of the first sealing flap 30, causes temporary gluing (i.e. that is separated in use) between the portion of the first inner package 5 that surrounds the separating line 29, i.e. that surrounds the first extraction opening 28, and the first sealing flap 30, to enable the first sealing flap 30 to be partially separated several times (i.e. at every opening of the packet 1 of cigarettes) from the first inner package 5 and then be fixed again to the first inner package 5.
  • the first sealing flap 30 further comprises a permanent adhesive that causes the permanent gluing, i.e. that is never separated even in use, of the portion of the first inner package 5 enclosed inside the separating line 29, i.e. at the first extraction opening 28, to the first sealing flap 30; thus, when the first sealing flap 30 is raised from the first inner package 5 the portion of the first inner package 5 enclosed inside the separating line 29, i.e. at the first extraction opening 28, lifts up together with the first sealing flap 30, freeing the first extraction opening 28.

More precisely, the outer surface 32 of the first connecting tab 31 of the first sealing flap 30 is glued by spots of permanent glue to a reinforcing flap 33 of the lid 2.
  • the first connecting tab 31 of the first sealing flap 30 remains spread and separated from the remaining part of the first sealing flap 30 and, during opening of the lid 3, the first sealing flap 30 forms an "S" shape (illustrated schematically in figure 5 ).
  • one portion of the first sealing flap 30 that is different from the first connecting tab 31 could be glued in a permanent and non-separable manner to the inner surface of the lid 3 in addition to or in replacement of the first connecting tab 31; in the latter case, the first sealing flap 30 could be devoid of the first connecting tab 31.
