"Rigid package of smoking articles provided with a filler element"

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention ? relating to a rigid package of smoking articles provided with a filler element. In particular, the present invention relates to a rigid package having a hinged lid.

The present invention finds advantageous application to a packet of cigarettes, to which the following description will refer explicit reference without losing generality. In this text, in fact, will it be done? without distinction to the specific example of ?cigarettes? rather than the pi? generic expression ?articles for smoking?, without, however, losing in generality? in relation to other types of items (such as cigars, cigars or cigarillos, electronic cigarettes or ecigs, ancillary products such as filters, refills for ecigs and other tobacco-based products or alternative components or substitutes for tobacco). EARLIER ART

Rigid cigarette packs with hinged lids are currently the most popular cigarette packs in the world. widespread on the market as they are simple to make, are easy and practical to use, and offer good protection to the cigarettes contained within them.

A rigid packet of cigarettes with a hinged lid and a filler element ? described in patent application EP3166860.

This package includes a group of smoking articles and an internal foil wrapper which wraps the group of smoking articles. This internal wrapping? contained in an external container do you have a greater thickness than the thickness of the wrapping and which has one end? open top from which the internal wrapping protrudes. A lid ? hinged to the external container and ? mobile to open and close the end? open top of the outer container. Also, the package includes a filler element that is ? inserted in the external container to compensate for the difference in thickness between the external container and the internal wrapping and has a front wall which is arranged in contact with the internal wrapping.

This packet provides for wrapping the group of cigarettes inside foil which has a removable part (called ?pull?) which is removed by the smoker when the packet is first opened.

Therefore, once the pack is opened, the cigarettes must be consumed in a short time in order to preserve their aroma and the right humidity. of tobacco.

To allow the smoker to preserve the aroma of the cigarettes for a longer time, packets of smoking articles are known which envisage wrapping the cigarettes in a waterproof wrapping which has an opening for extracting the cigarettes which is? closed by a reusable resealable label. The resealable label? permanently glued to an inner surface of a front wall of the lid such that when the lid is opened or closed the resealable label is also simultaneously opened or closed. An example of such a package ? described in the document EP2155568 owned? of the same Applicant.

It is known that in this type of packages, so that? is the label correctly closed, ? necessary to reduce the extraction opening of the wrapper: in fact, to command the progressive closure of the label ? it is necessary that at maximum opening of the lid and, therefore, of the resealable label, it still maintains a portion glued to the upper wall and that this latter portion is substantially tangential to the upper wall itself.

Therefore, providing an internal wrapping with a resealable label in a package which includes a filling element (and in which therefore the internal wrapping has a reduced thickness) would lead to a reduction in the extraction opening of the internal wrapping and this would determines difficulty? in the extraction of cigarettes.

To facilitate the extraction of cigarettes from the packets, it is not ? possible to increase the transversal dimension of the extraction opening, as the extraction label would be without a guide and would be deformed in an undesirable way towards the inside of the lid, not allowing it to close regularly and uniformly on the upper panel of the wrapping internal.

Four longitudinal edges are defined between the front, rear 42 and 43 side walls 41 of the outer container 4, while four transverse edges are defined between the walls 41, 42, 43 and the lower wall 40 of the outer container 4.

The lid 5 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, ? shaped like a cup, and has one end? open bottom (facing the open top end of the outer container 4 when the lid 5 is in the closed position), an upper wall 50 (which is parallel and opposite to the lower wall 40 of the outer container 4 when the lid 5 is in the closed position) , a front wall 51 (which is parallel and aligned with the front wall 41 of the outer container 4 when the lid 5 is in the closed position), a rear wall 52 (which is parallel and aligned with the rear wall 42 of the outer container 4 when the lid 5 is in the closed position and is hinged to the rear wall 42 of the outer container 4 along the hinge 44), and two mutually parallel and opposite side walls 53 (which are parallel and aligned, in particular coplanar and adjacent, to the side walls 43 of the external container 4 when the lid 5 is in the closed position). Four longitudinal edges are defined between the front, rear 52 and 53 side walls 53 of the lid 5, while four transverse edges are defined between the walls 51, 52, 53 and the upper wall 50 of the lid 5. The longitudinal edges of the lid 5 are parallel and aligned with the corresponding longitudinal edges of the outer container 4 when the lid 5 is? in the closed position and the transverse edges defined by the upper wall 50 of the lid 5 are parallel to the transverse edges defined by the lower wall 40 of the outer container 4 when the lid 5 ? in the closed position.

As shown in figure 5, packet 1 of cigarettes ? without a rigid collar. According to a variant embodiment, the packet 1 of cigarettes can include a rigid collar (not shown), which is connected (by gluing) folded into a ?U? inside the external container 4 to partially protrude outside the end? open top of the outer container 4 and engage a corresponding inner surface of the lid 5, when the lid 5 itself is? placed in the closed position. Preferably, the collar comprises a front wall, which is connected to the front wall 41 of the outer container 4 and is placed in contact with the front wall 51 of the lid 5 when the lid 5 ? in the closed position, and two side walls, which are connected to the side walls 43 of the outer container 4 and are arranged in contact with the side walls 53 of the lid 5 when the lid 5 is in contact. in the closed position. The anterior wall of the collar? provided with an extraction opening through which access to the contents of packet 1 of cigarettes is facilitated. Furthermore, the front wall of the collar can? be provided with a pair of nails which protrude laterally to engage the lateral walls 53 of the lid 5 by interference when it ? in the closed position so as to keep the cover 5 in the closed position.

As illustrated in the attached figures, the packet 1 of cigarettes comprises an internal wrapping 2 (illustrated in figure 3) which ? housed in the external container 4 to partially protrude outside the end? top open and encloses a group of parallelepiped-shaped cigarettes.

The inner wrapping 2 has a substantially parallelepiped shape. The inner wrapping 2 has: an upper wall 21 and a lower wall 24 opposite and parallel to each other; a front wall 25 and a rear wall 22 opposite and parallel to each other; two lateral walls 26 mutually opposite and parallel.

As visible in figure 5, the external container 4, which houses the internal wrapping 2, has a greater thickness S1 than the thickness S2 of the internal wrapping 2. The thickness S1 of the outer container 4 ? the dimension of the outer container 4 measured along the perpendicular direction to the front wall 41 and the rear wall 42 of the outer container 4; in other words, the thickness S1 of the external container 4 ? equal to the width of the side wall 43 of the outer container 4. The thickness S2 of the internal wrapping 2 ? the size of the inner wrapping 2 measured along the perpendicular direction to the front wall 25 and to the rear wall 22 of the inner wrapping 2; in other words, the thickness S2 of the inner wrapping 2 ? equal to the width of the side wall 26 of the inner wrapping 2.

Package 1 further comprises a filling element 6 which ? inserted in the outer container 4 to compensate for the difference in thickness between the outer container 4 and the inner wrapping 2.

According to a possible embodiment, the internal wrapping 2 can present inside a reinforcing element (not shown), which ? made of cardboard or rigid cardboard (completely similar to the cardboard or rigid cardboard constituting the external container 4), ? shaped to ?U? and ? placed inside the internal wrapping 2 in contact with the group of cigarettes. The reinforcing element comprises a front wall of rectangular shape, which is contacting a front wall of the cigarette stack and a pair of sidewalls, which are connected to opposite sides of the front wall and are contacting the sidewalls of the cigarette stack. The front wall has a window that is placed above? bounded by a border, ? shaped like a ?U?, and facilitates the extraction of the cigarettes from the stack of cigarettes as it leaves an upper area of the front wall of the stack of cigarettes exposed. According to an alternative embodiment, the internal wrapping 2 ? without the reinforcing element.

In summary, are there any implementation forms in which package 1 is foreseen? provided: with the collar only (i.e., cigarette packet 1 is without the stiffener), with the stiffener only (i.e., cigarette packet 1 is without the collar) or with both the collar and of the reinforcing element (that is to say, packet 1 of cigarettes has both, i.e. the collar and the reinforcing element).

The inner wrapping 2 has at the top and front an opening 20 for extracting the cigarettes (illustrated in figure 6) closed by a resealable label 3 (illustrated in figures 3, 4, 5 and 7). According to a possible embodiment, the resealable label 3 ? made of plastic material or of a multilayer material comprising for example an internal layer of paper material and an external layer of aluminium.

Preferably, the opening 20 for extracting the cigarettes extends upwards as far as a rear corner 23 (indicated for example in Figure 5) comprised between an upper wall 21 and a rear wall 22 of the inner wrapping 2.

As shown in figures 3-5, the resealable label 3 ? fixed to the internal wrapping 2 by repositionable glue 31 which does not dry (illustrated in figure 4), which ? applied to an internal surface 3a of the resealable label 3 (ie the surface of the resealable label 3 facing the internal wrapping 2) and ? disposed all around the extraction opening 20 to allow the resealable label 3 to come more? times (that is, at each opening of the packet 1 of cigarettes) partially separated from the inner wrapping 2 and then again fixed to the inner wrapping 2 (at each closure of the packet 1 of cigarettes).

Preferably, the resealable label 3 ? fixed to the inner wrapping 2 by means of a permanent glue at the rear wall of the inner wrapping 2.

In particular, the resealable label 3 ? fixed to the internal wrapping 2 and ? movable between an opening position A (illustrated in figure 5), in which ? allowing access to the smoking articles through the extraction opening 20, and a closed position B (illustrated in figures 1, 3), in which it closes the extraction opening 20 preventing access to the smoking articles.

The resealable label 3 ? fixed to the internal wrapping 2, it closes the opening 20 for extracting the cigarettes and has an extremity 30 connected, in particular glued, to a wall of the lid 5 (in particular, to the front wall 51). In this way, by moving the lid 5 the resealable label 3 ? moved between the opening position A and the closing position B and vice versa.

Preferably, the? extremity? 30 of the resealable label 3 ? fixed to the wall of the cover 5 by means of glue (shown in figure 4) which ? in particular a glue 32 strong, which ? applied to an external surface 3b of the resealable label 3 (ie the surface of the resealable label 3 facing the lid 5). The resealable label 3 ? preferably permanently connected through the glue 32 to the front wall 51 of the lid 5 in such a way as to raise the resealable label 3 when opening the lid 5 and, similarly, to lower the resealable label 3 when closing the lid 5.

The filling element 6 has a box shape. The filling element 6 has a front wall 61 which ? arranged facing (in particular in contact) with the inner wrapping 2, in particular with the rear wall 22 of the inner wrapping 2.

To ensure the progressive correct closing of the resealable label 3 ? it is necessary that when the lid 5 is fully opened and, therefore, of the resealable label 3, it is substantially tangential to the upper wall 21 itself, as shown in figure 5. In other words, in order to correctly reposition the resealable label 3 (i.e. to connect progressively the label 3 resealable to the internal wrapping 2 during the closure of the lid 5 so as to correctly close the extraction opening 20) ? it is necessary that, with the lid 5 completely open, the resealable label 3 remains substantially tangential to the upper wall 21 of the inner wrapping 2.

This condition is ensured by the accompanying flap 60 which protrudes from the front wall 61 of the filling element 6 towards the front wall 41 of the external container 4 to keep the resealable label 3 folded towards the front wall 41 of the external container 4. This accompanying flap 60 thanks to its conformation and its positioning avoids, when the lid 5 is in the open position, the complete and uncontrolled detachment of the resealable label 3, especially near? of the rear edge 23 of the inner wrapping 2.

In other words, the accompanying flap 60 thanks to its shape and positioning avoids, when the lid 5 is in the completely open position, the complete detachment of the resealable label 3 from the upper wall 21 of the inner wrapping 2, in particular near the? of the rear corner 23 of the inner wrapping 2, and allows to maintain a resealable portion of the label 3, at the last point of adhesion, substantially tangential to the upper wall 21 or forming an angle with the upper wall 21 which, in its maximum extension, is less than about 30?.

With particular reference to figures 5-7, the filling element 6 has: the front wall 61, two side walls 62 which are opposite to each other, are perpendicular to the front wall 61 and are arranged in contact with the side walls 43 of the container 4 outside, a rear wall 63 which ? opposite and parallel to the front wall 61 and ? arranged in contact with the rear wall 42 of the outer container 4.

The accompanying flap 60 ? hinged to the front wall of the containment element 6 along a folding line; the folding line facilitates the positioning of the accompanying flap 60 protruding towards the front wall 41 of the outer container 4. Preferably, the fold line can be provided with a crease or perforations.

In a preferred embodiment, the accompanying flap 60 has a transverse extension measured parallel to the side walls 43 of the outer container 4 which is? at least equal to 2 mm and in particular ? at least equal to 4 mm.

The filler element 6 shown in figures 5-7 is formed from blank 6? shown in figure 8. This blank 6? includes: a first 61? panel intended to form the front wall 61 of the filling element 6; a second 62? panel and a third 62? panel that develop from opposite sides of the first 61? panel and which are intended to form the side walls 62 of the filling element 6; a quarter 63? panel that develops from the second 62? panel and what ? intended to form at least a part of the rear wall 63 of the filling element 6; the accompanying flap 60 protruding from the first 61? panel. Also, the blank 6? includes a fifth 63? panel that develops from the third 62? panel and what ? intended to form a part of the rear wall 63 of the filling element 6.

In particular, the rear wall 63 of the filling element 6 is formed by two portions planar to each other and parallel to the rear wall 43 of the outer container 4. It is understood that the blank illustrated in figure 8 is only one of the embodiments of a blank suitable for forming the filling element 6 of the package 1 object of the present invention. In alternative embodiments, the filling element 6 could also comprise an upper wall and/or a bottom wall; or the filling element 6 could have a rear wall formed by a single panel.

Blank 6? can? be obtained starting from a strip of wrapping material. In particular, the embodiment of the blank 6? shown in figure 8 allows you not to have waste, cio? waste materials.

The accompanying flap 60 ? part of the filling element 6. It ? made of paper material.

In accordance with the illustrated embodiment, the accompanying flap 60 extends over the entire width of the front wall 61 of the filling element 6. In accordance with alternative embodiments, the flap 60 could extend only a part of the width of the front wall 61 of the filling element 6. The outer container 4 and the lid 5 are made by folding a flat blank (not shown) made of cardboard or rigid cardboard and having a substantially elongated rectangular shape. Such blank? of known type and will not be? therefore described in detail.

In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the inner wrapping 2 is obtained by folding a sheet of heat-sealable wrapping (not shown), which has a rectangular shape, is folded around the group of cigarettes and once folded is stabilized by heat-sealing (that is, the superimposed portions of the sheet of wrapping 2 are connected together in stably by heat sealing). Sheet of wrapping 2 has an incision which ? shaped to ?U? and defines the opening 20 for extracting the inner wrapping 2. Furthermore, to wrapping sheet 2 ? glued the resealable label 3 which completely covers the incision (that is the extraction opening 20). Between the resealable label 3 and the wrapping sheet 2? interposed the repositionable pressure-sensitive glue 31 (that is, which does not dry) and which allows even after a long time and for a large number of times to separate the resealable label 3 from the sheet of wrapping 2 and, therefore, to rejoin the ?label 3 resealable to wrapping sheet 2.

In the embodiments illustrated in the attached figures, the longitudinal and transversal edges are straight; alternatively, the longitudinal and/or transversal edges could be rounded or chamfered.

The embodiments described here can be combined with each other without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.

Is it otherwise? object of the present invention is the method for making packet 1 in accordance with the embodiments described above.

The method comprises the step of: wrapping the group of smoking articles in a sheet of wrapping (not shown) forming the inner wrapping 2, in which the sheet of wrapping has an incision intended to define the extraction opening 20 of the? wrapping and to it ? fixed the resealable label 3.

The method further includes the step of supplying the blank 6? (a possible embodiment is illustrated in figure 8) which comprises a first panel 61? intended to form the front wall 61 of the filling element 6, a second panel 62? and a third panel 62? which develop from opposite sides of the first panel 61? and which are intended to form the side walls 62 of the filling element 6, a fourth panel 63? which develops from the second panel 62? or from the third panel 62? is that ? intended to form at least a part of the rear wall 63 of the filling element 6, the accompanying flap 60 which protrudes from the first panel 61?. The method also includes the steps of: folding blank 6? to form the filling element 6; fold the accompanying flap 60 so that the accompanying flap 60 is transverse with respect to the front wall 61 of the filling element 6 and oriented away from a rear wall 63 of the filling element 6 (figures 6 and 7).

The method further comprises the steps of: placing the front wall 60 of the filling element 6 in contact with the rear wall 22 of the inner wrapping 2 (figures 6 and 7); wrapping a blank intended to form the external container 4 and the lid 5 around the internal wrapping 2 and the filling element 6.

Preferably, the step of folding the accompanying flap 60 so that the accompanying flap 60 is transverse with respect to the front wall 61 of the filling element 6 and oriented away from a rear wall 63 of the filling element 6? carried out before the step of placing the front wall 61 of the filling element 6 in contact with the rear wall 22 of the internal wrapping 2.

In accordance with one embodiment, the step of folding the accompanying flap 60 may understand the steps of: folding the accompanying flap 60 against the first 61? blank panel 6? (that is? is folded before the blank 6? is folded to form the filling element 6); release the accompanying flap 60. In accordance with a variant embodiment, the accompanying flap 60 could be folded against the front wall 61 of the filling element 6 (that is, it is folded after the blank 6? has been folded to form the filling element 6).

In accordance with a variant of the method, the step of folding the accompanying flap 60 so that the accompanying flap 60 is transverse with respect to the front wall 61 of the filling element 6? performed after the step of arranging the front wall 61 of the filling element 6 and the rear wall 22 of the inner wrapping 2 in contact.

The packet 1 of cigarettes described above has several advantages.

Mainly, the packet 1 of cigarettes described above allows to obtain an accurate repositioning of the resealable label 3 with the simple addition of the accompanying flap 60, the introduction of which does not complicate the composition of a packaging machine for smoking articles.

In fact, through the accompanying flap 60 a progressively correct gluing (re-closing) of the label 3 on the extraction opening 20 is obtained starting from the rear edge 23 of the internal wrapping 2, even if previously the label 3 was substantially detached from the upper wall 21 of the inner wrapping 2. Through the action of the accompanying flap 60 on the label 3 it is ensured that at least a portion of the label 3 remains substantially tangent to the upper wall 21 of the internal wrapping 2 even if the lid 5 is? arranged in the open position or, alternatively, that the label 3 forms an angle with the upper wall of the inner wrapping 2 which, in its maximum extension, is ? less than 30?.

The pack 1 of cigarettes according to the present invention allows a better extraction of the cigarettes, given that the extraction opening 20 has a larger dimension extending as far as the rear edge of the inner wrapper 2, without negatively affecting the correct repositioning of the label 3 resealable and, therefore, its correct re-gluing to the upper wall of the inner wrapping 2, upon closing the lid 5.

The accompanying flap 60 guides the movement of the resealable label 3 both during its upward path and during its downward path and therefore allows to avoid an undesired deformation of the resealable label 3 towards the inside of the lid 5, which would not allow a its subsequent correct repositioning.

Therefore, the accompanying flap 60 ensures a gradual detachment of the resealable label 3 and allows its subsequent correct repositioning, without curling up.

? therefore, it is evident that the packet of cigarettes according to the present invention has a better conservation of the aroma and of the humidity of the group of cigarettes wrapped by the inner wrapping 2, since the resealable label 3 is always perfectly positioned on the extraction opening 20, with the lid 5 closed.

The cigarette pack also features improved cigarette removal as the opening extends all the way to the rear edge and as it does not open. more It is necessary that at least a portion of the resealable label 3 remains glued to the upper wall when the lid 5 is closed. in the open position.
