Definitions

  • Embodiments described here concern a rigid-type pack for smoking articles able to contain, for example, tobacco-based products, such as traditional smoking articles, like cigarettes or small cigars.
  • Embodiments described here also concern a blank, to produce said pack.
  • Packs for smoking articles of the rigid type, having a hinged lid are known. These traditional cigarette packs have the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped and comprise a container or box-like body to which the lid is hinged.
  • An internal envelope to contain the cigarettes is also provided.
  • the internal envelope can be a laminated metal film on a paper substrate or a metallized paper that is wrapped around the cigarettes and folded at the ends of the cigarettes.
  • a collar may also be present, generally made of cardboard or rigid paper, which at least partly surrounds the internal envelope.
  • Such packs are generally easy to produce starting from a conventional blank, that is, from a sheet-like material such as cardboard, thin cardboard, paper or suchlike, suitably shaped and worked, and are easy and practical to use, protecting the smoking articles placed inside them.
  • the pack is typically covered with a transparent film of the disposable type, for example cellophane, polyethylene, or other similar material, which then forms an external packaging envelope or wrapper for the pack.
  • a transparent film of the disposable type for example cellophane, polyethylene, or other similar material, which then forms an external packaging envelope or wrapper for the pack.
  • this film is not welcome, especially when it is desired to avoid using a plastic material for wrapping the pack.
  • the pack also generally comprises a label, a revenue stamp, or a government stamp, positioned on the surface of the pack and intended to be tom when the pack is first opened.
  • the government stamp might not always be present in the form of a physical adhesive label.
  • these specific anti-tampering elements can be formed by removable or tear-off portions. In this case, the opening of the pack is allowed only after these removable or tear-off portions have been removed.
  • these removable or tear-off portions are temporarily connected both to the lid and also to the containing body, by means of a respective tear-off line, perforated or weakened.
  • the anti-tampering elements are generally disposed on the front wall of the pack and, because of their location and disposition, they can be inconvenient for the user to grasp. Furthermore, since the front wall of the pack is the one on which writings, logos or information images are affixed, the location of the anti-tampering elements in known packs can compromise the correct readability of such messages or images, given that they could be modified considerably, after the removal of the tear-off portion when the pack is first opened, with the result of also having an aesthetically unpleasant front wall.
  • the blanks used to produce the packs that have said removable portions require the creation of a pair of tear lines in a position interposed between a panel of the container and a panel of the lid, with consequent design constraints.
  • one purpose of the present invention is to provide a pack for smoking articles that has at least one breakable anti-tampering element that is easy to make and that at the same time is easy to remove and that does not disfigure the final appearance of the pack. It is also a purpose of the present invention to make available a blank that is easy to work, that allows the operations to produce the pack to be made faster and less laborious and that can be worked on traditional wrapping machines for cigarette, without needing to make changes to traditional wrapping machines.
  • the Applicant has devised, tested and embodied the present invention to overcome the shortcomings of the state of the art and to obtain these and other purposes and advantages.
  • the present invention is set forth and characterized in the independent claims, concerning, respectively, a rigid pack for smoking articles with a polygonal cross-section and a blank to produce a rigid pack for smoking articles with a polygonal cross-section formed by a single piece.
  • the dependent claims describe other characteristics of the invention or variants to the main inventive idea.

  • - fig. 14 shows a blank to produce the pack of figs. 9-11.
  • the embodiment shown in figs. 1-8 concerns a rigid pack 10 for smoking articles 500 with a polygonal cross-section.
  • the pack 10 has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped.
  • smoking articles we mean for example cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos or other similar and comparable articles.
  • the pack 10 comprises a container 11 and a closable lid 12 hinged to the container 11.
  • the container 11 has a container front wall 13 and an opposite container rear wall 14, a first container lateral wall 15 and a second container lateral wall 16, opposite and facing each other, and a lower wall 17 disposed perpendicular to the first container lateral wall 15 and to the second container lateral wall 16, figs. 1- 2.
  • the container 11 defines an internal cavity 18 configured to house the smoking articles 500, fig. 3.
  • the lid 12 has a lid front wall 19, a first lid lateral wall 20 and a second lid lateral wall 21 opposite and facing each other, and an upper wall 22 disposed perpendicular to the first lid lateral wall 20 and to the second lid lateral wall 21.
  • front, rear, lateral, upper and lower refer to the orientation of the pack 10 during its typical use.
  • front refers to the front part of the pack 10 from which the cigarettes or smoking articles 500 contained therein can be accessed once the lid 12 has been opened.
  • the lid 12 is hinged to the container 11 in order to rotate between a closed position, to prevent access to the internal cavity 18 of the container, fig. 2 and fig. 4, and an open position, to allow access to the internal cavity 18 of the container
  • the lid 12 includes a removable portion 24 defined by a respective tear line 25 and which extends from an edge of the lid 12.
  • the removable portion 24 is joined to the container 11 only by gluing, so that it has to be tom from the lid 12 along the tear line 25 at the first opening of the pack 10.
  • the lid 12 includes only one removable portion, connected to the first lid lateral wall 20.
  • the lid 12 includes, on the other hand, two removable portions, one connected to the first lid lateral wall 20 and one to the second lid lateral wall 21.
  • the only tear line is the one that binds the removable portion 24 to the lid 12.
  • the temporary attachment of the removable portion 24 to the container 11 is ensured only by a glue point 35.
  • the removable portion 24 advantageously acts as an anti-tampering element.
  • the pack 10 can generally be supplied or sold to the final consumer with the lid 12 closed and connected, as stated by glue, to the container 11 by means of the at least one removable portion 24. If the removable portion 24 is intact, that is, not tom from the lid 12, this indicates to the final consumer that the pack 10 has not already been opened by others. Conversely, if the removable portion 24 of the pack 10 is tom or removed from the lid 12 before the first use by the final consumer, this indicates that the pack 10 has been tampered with.
  • the at least one removable portion 24 is an extension of the first lid lateral wall 20 and/or of the second lid lateral wall 21.
  • the removable portion 24 can be a flap, a tab, a wing, a fold that extends from an edge of the lid 12. This extension is temporary, since the removable portion 24 is bound to the lid along the tear line 25 and has to be tom off in order to open the lid 12.
  • the at least one removable portion 24 is normally coplanar with the respective first lid lateral wall 20 and/or with the second lid lateral wall 21.
  • the tear line 25 delimits the lid lateral wall 20 with respect to the removable portion 24 defining respective edges.
  • the tear line 25 is able to separate the lid lateral wall 20 from the removable portion 24.
  • the tear line 25 can be, for example, made by having perforations, notches, dotting or weakening able to facilitate the detachment of the removable portion 24 from the first lid lateral wall 20 and/or from the second lid lateral wall 21.
  • the tear line 25 can define a first free lid lateral edge 20a and/or a second free lid lateral edge 21a respectively of the first lid lateral wall 20 and of the second lid lateral wall 21, for the entire length of the edge or only for a part of it, and a first removable portion edge 24a of the removable portion 24, fig. 6.
  • the first removable portion edge 24a which before the removable portion 24 is tom from the lid 12 lies on the tear line 25, has a shorter length than that of the first free lid lateral edge 20a and/or of the second free lid lateral edge 21a from which the removable portion 24 extends.
  • the first container lateral wall 15 includes a first container internal lateral wall 15a and a first container external lateral wall 15b joined and overlapping each other.
  • the second container lateral wall 16 includes a second container internal lateral wall 16a and a second container external lateral wall 16b joined and overlapping each other, see for example the section shown in fig. 8.
  • the at least one removable portion 24 is glued, as described above, onto the first container internal lateral wall 15a and/or onto the second container internal lateral wall 16a.
  • At least one of either the first container internal lateral wall 15a or the second container internal lateral wall 16a has a greater extension respectively than the first container external lateral wall 15b and the second container external lateral wall 16b, figs. 3-3a, fig. 4 and fig. 8.
  • the difference in extension defines a protruding portion of first container internal lateral wall 15a and/or of second external lateral wall 16a, and which therefore exceeds the above respective first container external lateral wall 15b and second container external lateral wall 16b, which therefore ends earlier; this protruding portion delimits a positioning zone 36, outlined with a dashed line in fig. 3a so as to be easily identified, on the first container internal lateral wall 15a and/or on the second container internal lateral wall 16a, suitable to allow to position and glue the removable portion 24.
  • the removable portion 24 can have a polygonal shape, preferably with a rounded gripping zone or edge. However, it is not excluded that the removable portion 24 can also have a different shape.
  • the shape of the removable portion 24 can favorably be complementary to or mating with the shape of the positioning zone 36, possibly having, as stated, a rounded edge for better comfort when gripping and operating.
  • the removable portion 24 has a thickness substantially equal to the thickness of the step 37. In this way, when the lid 12 is closed, the removable portion 24 is inserted in the positioning zone 36, without protruding from the overall size of the pack 10, and is essentially flush and coplanar with the first container external lateral wall 15b or, respectively, with the second container external lateral wall 16b. This solution allows to obtain a pack 10 without substantial discontinuities and therefore aesthetically pleasing to the eye and pleasant to the touch.
  • the removable portion 24 has the first removable portion edge 24a defined along the tear line 25, and a second removable portion edge 24b that meets an upper edge of the first container external lateral wall 15c and/or an upper edge of the second container external lateral wall 16c, before the first opening of the pack 10.
  • the removable portion 24 has a substantially triangular shape and also has a third removable portion edge 24c substantially aligned with a corresponding lateral edge of the container rear wall 14, before the first opening of the pack.
  • the third removable portion edge 24c is substantially parallel to an edge formed between the first and/or the second container lateral wall 15, 16 and the container rear wall 14, before the first opening of the pack.
  • the removable portion 24 has a substantially triangular conformation and is perimetrically delimited by the first, second and third removable portion edges 24a, 24b and 24c.
  • the removable portion 24 may have, as stated, a rounded gripping zone or edge to facilitate gripping by the user, for example the comer between the second removable portion edge 24b and the third removable portion edge 24c.
  • this rounded gripping zone or edge can be raised with a finger to facilitate the detachment of the removable portion 24 from the container 11.
  • the second and third removable portion edges 24b, 24c meet forming a rounded comer, so as to create a gripping portion 24d comprising the rounded comer; this gripping portion 24d being easily raised with a finger to allow the removable portion 24 to be detached from the container 11 before the removable portion 24 is tom from the lid 12 along the respective tear line 25 at the first opening of the pack.
  • the rounded comer formed between the second and the third removable portion edges 24b, 24c has a radius of curvature comprised between 1 and 4 mm.
  • first and/or the second container internal lateral wall 15a, 16a has/have a zone 15d, 16d not occupied by the removable portion 24, in proximity to the gripping portion 24d of the removable portion 24, before the first opening of the pack 10.
  • the first lid lateral wall 20 and the second lid lateral wall 21 have respectively the first free lid lateral edge 20a and the second free lid lateral edge 21a inclined with respect to a pack upper plane P5 lying on the upper wall 22, figs. 6-7.
  • the removable portion 24 is not present on one of the lid lateral walls 20, 21, the first free lid lateral edge 20a or the second free lid lateral edge 21a is already completely defined, fig. 7. On the lid lateral wall 20, 21 where the removable portion 24 is present, as can be seen from fig. 6, a part of the first free lid lateral edge 20a is defined along the tear line 25.
  • the upper edge of the first container external lateral wall 15c and the upper edge of the second container external lateral wall 16c are inclined with respect to the lid upper plane P5.
  • At least a first segment 15c’ of the upper edge of the first container external lateral wall 15c has the same inclination as the corresponding first free lid lateral edge 20a defining a lateral abutment for the lid 12 in the closed position.
  • the upper edge of the first container external lateral wall 15c has a second segment 15c” having a different inclination with respect to the inclination of the respective first segment 15c’, substantially equal to that of the second removable portion edge 24b, before the first opening of the pack.
  • the second removable portion edge 24b is, therefore, only close to the second segment 15c”. Consequently, the first segment 15c’ meets the first free lid lateral edge 20a and/or the second free lid lateral edge 21a, since it is parallel to them in a condition in which the lid 12 is closed, while the second segment 15c” is parallel and close to the second removable portion edge 24b, before the removable portion 24 is torn from the lid 12.
  • the first and second segments 15c’, 15c” are inclined in a specular manner, with respect to each other, starting from a common vertex V, by an angle of inclination a with respect to a vertical axis passing through the common vertex V (fig- 6).
  • the lid front wall 19 has a lid front wall edge 19a which meets a container front wall upper edge 13a defining a front abutment for the lid 12 in the closed position, fig. 3.
