Description

【Technical field】
[0001]
The present invention relates to a rigid container for tobacco products.
[Background]
[0002]
In the following description, reference is made to a rigid container defined by a cigarette or cigarette packet, merely as a non-limiting example and for the sake of brevity.
[0003]
Cigarette hinged hard parcels are typically rectangular hexagonal parallelepiped shapes that connect two major side walls defined by the front and rear walls, with sharp and perpendicular longitudinal edges to both major side walls, respectively. Two small side walls.
[0004]
The above type, i.e. a rectangular parallelepiped rigid parcel, has several disadvantages due to its shape not suitable for the human body and the immediate wear of any garment fabric that the parcel contacts. Have
[0005]
In addition, a parallel hexahedron shaped hard parcel with a rectangular cross-section is very stiff on the small side wall and right-angled longitudinal edge, but not so much on the large side wall, so a transparent cellophane encapsulation is applied to the parcel Have the disadvantage of tending to deform inwardly when contracted (by applying heat).
[0006]
The inward deformation of the large side wall caused by the inward pressure exerted on the parcel by the transparent enveloping compresses the cigarette in the parcel and holds it in its compressed shape, so that in particular the first cigarette is extracted. Have difficulty. In addition, deformation of the large side wall, especially the rear side wall, deforms the hinge that connects the lid to the bottom case, so that the lid can be opened unless all of the transparent envelope (usually torn) is removed from the package. Is difficult.
[0007]
The above disadvantages are due to the type of parcel described in EP 0204933 and EP 0205766, that is to say four chamfered or rounded longitudinal edges and eight sharp right angles. At least partially eliminated by a parcel having a transverse edge. However, a parcel of the above type having chamfered or rounded edges is difficult to form by matching two rounded or chamfered edges, so that the lid is cup-shaped. The bottom container cannot be properly closed and is relatively difficult to handle because the shape is not suitable for the human body.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
[0008]
An object of the present invention is to provide a hard cigarette parcel with a hinged lid configured to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks.
[0009]
According to the present invention, there is a generally parallelepiped-shaped rigid container for tobacco products, two end walls at the top end and bottom end, respectively, and side surfaces bordering these end walls, which are at the front surface and the rear surface, respectively. Two large side walls as well as a side surface defined by two small side walls, four longitudinal edges each defined between the large side wall and the small side wall, and each defined between the end wall and the side wall In a container with only eight transverse edges, at least one longitudinal edge and at least one transverse edge are non-perpendicular edges, whereas the other longitudinal edge and transverse direction A container is provided, characterized in that the edge is a sharp right-angled edge.

The side surface 6 comprises two flat smaller side walls or small side walls 9 parallel and facing each other, and two flat large side walls or large side walls 10 and 11 that intersect the small side wall 9 and face each other. To do. More specifically, one of the large side walls 10 defines the front wall of the parcel 1 and the other of the large side walls 11 defines the rear wall of the parcel 1.
[0015]
The parcel 1 also includes a collar 12 that partially projects outside the end 3 and that corresponds to the interior of the lid 4 when the lid 4 is closed (as shown in FIG. 1). It is bent into a U shape so as to engage with the surface, and is attached (adhered) to the inside of the cup-shaped container 2.
[0016]
Four longitudinal edges 13 are defined between the small side wall 9 and the large side walls 10, 11. Eight transverse edges 14 are defined between the end walls 7, 8 and the side walls 9, 10, 11, the larger transverse edge or transverse large edge 14 a and the smaller transverse edge. And is divided into transverse small edges 14 b and intersect with the longitudinal edges 13. The two transverse large edges 14a of the front wall 10 and the two longitudinal edges 13 of the rear wall 11 are respectively rounded edges connecting the corresponding walls 7-11 with a constant radius of curvature, That is, each is an edge defined by a quarter cylindrical surface, while the other edges 13, 14 are sharp, right-angled edges.
[0017]
In another embodiment, not shown, the transverse large edge 14a of the front wall 10 and the longitudinal edge 13 of the rear wall 11 are not chamfered edges but chamfered edges, ie corresponding respectively. It is an edge that is defined by a flat surface that forms an angle of 45 ° with the walls 7-11 and connects the corresponding walls 7-11 together.
[0018]
As shown in FIG. 10, the parcel 1 of FIGS. 1 and 2 is formed from a corresponding blank material 15 that is flat and generally rectangular in shape, and that portion is as far as possible from the corresponding portion of the parcel 1. The same reference numerals are shown with a superscript.
[0019]
The blank 15 (having the longitudinal central axis 16) comprises two longitudinal crease lines 17 and a plurality of transverse crease lines 18. These transverse crease lines 18 form between the two longitudinal crease lines 17 a panel 10 ′ forming the top of the front wall 10 (particularly the part forming part of the lid 4) and the top end wall 7. A panel 7 ′, a panel 11 ′ forming the rear wall 11, a panel 8 ′ forming the bottom end wall 8, and a panel forming the bottom of the front wall 10 (particularly, a part forming part of the container 2). 10 ″.
[0020]
Each panel 10 ′, 10 ″, 11 ′ is arranged on both sides of the corresponding panel 10 ′, 10 ″, 11 ′ and is separated from the panels 10 ′, 10 ″, 11 ′ by longitudinal fold lines 17. With two side wings 9 'and 9 ". The panel 10 'has a reinforcing flap 19, and each wing 9' and 9 "of the panel 11 'is a rectangular longitudinal attachment arranged at both ends of the wing 9', 9" and aligned with each other in the longitudinal direction. It has a piece 20.
[0021]
Between the panels 10 ′ and 7 ′ and between the panels 8 ′ and 10 ″, there are a plurality of transverse directions in order to round or curve each of the two transverse large edges 14 a of the front wall 10. A crease line 18 is provided, and a plurality of longitudinal crease lines are provided between the panel 11 ′ and the corresponding wings 9 ′ and 9 ″ to round each of the two longitudinal edges 13 of the rear wall 11. 17 is provided.
[0022]
When each parcel 1 is formed, the side wings 9 'and the side wings 9 "are overlapped and bonded to each other to define the small side wall 9 of the parcel 1, and each longitudinal attachment piece 20 corresponds thereto. Are folded at right angles to the side wings 9 'or 9 "and overlapped and glued onto the inner surface of the corresponding panel 7' or 8 'so that the inner part of the corresponding end wall 7 or 8 of the parcel 1 is Defined.
[0023]
Various tests have confirmed that the cigarette parcel 1 as described above has been shaped to significantly reduce the wear on the clothing fabric in contact with the parcel 1 while being easy to handle and suitable for the human body. .
[0024]
Furthermore, the parcel 1 has a relatively low degree of stiffness at the small side wall 9 and the rounded or chamfered longitudinal edge 13, thus preventing excessive compression of the cigarette in the parcel 1. Therefore, the first cigarette can be easily taken out from the package 1 and the lid 4 can be easily opened.
[0025]
Finally, the longitudinal edge 13 of the front wall 10 is a sharp right-angled edge and it is relatively easy to form two right-angled edges together so that the lid 4 is a cup-shaped bottom container. 2 will close correctly.
[0026]
In another embodiment shown in FIG. 11, when the lid 4 is closed, the bottom edge 21 of the lid 4 and the top edge 22 of the container 2 do not contact each other, but only a predetermined distance. It is dimensioned so that it is spaced apart from each other and the strips 23 of the collar 12 inside are exposed. More specifically, the exposed band 23 of the collar 12 may extend along only the front wall 10 or may extend along a part of the small side wall 9.
[0027]
In another embodiment shown in FIG. 12, the bottom edge 21 of the lid 4 and the top edge 22 of the container 2 are straight and not parallel to the transverse edge 14, and are somewhat curved, especially at the front wall 10. .
[0028]
In the parcel 1 shown in the accompanying drawings, the two large transverse edges 14a of the front wall 10 and the two longitudinal edges 13 of the rear wall 11 are rounded or chamfered. However, the change may be made such that the two transverse large edges 14a of the rear wall 11 of the parcel 1 and the two longitudinal edges 13 of the front wall 10 are rounded or chamfered. Alternatively, the two large transverse edges 14a of the rear wall 11 of the parcel 1 and the two longitudinal edges 13 of the rear wall 11 may be rounded or chamfered. Alternatively, the two large transverse edges 14a of the front wall 10 of the parcel 1 and the two longitudinal edges 13 of the front wall 10 may be rounded or chamfered. More generally, the parcel 1 includes one or more chamfered or rounded longitudinal edges 13 and one or more chamfered or rounded transverse edges 14. Can be provided.
[0029]
In another embodiment, not shown, of the parcel 1, all longitudinal edges 13 are sharp edges, whereas the two transverse large edges 14a of the front wall 10 are rounded (or chamfered). )ing.
[0030]
As shown in FIG. 13, the front wall 10, the small side wall 9, and the end walls 7 and 8 are flat walls, whereas the rear wall 11 projects outwardly and has a corresponding sharp longitudinal edge 13. Are connected to the two small side walls 9, and together with the two small side walls 9, respectively, each form a substantially obtuse dihedral angle.
[0031]
The rear wall 11 comprises a flat, substantially rectangular central part 24 and two lateral bands 25 arranged on either side of the central part 24 between the central part 24 and the corresponding longitudinal edge 13. Each side band 25 is pre-creased inward by a longitudinal crease line 26 so that it is curved to form an inward recess and the central part 24 is connected to the corresponding small side wall 9 A sharp longitudinal edge 13 is formed, and an obtuse dihedral angle is formed with the small side wall 9.
[0032]
The rear wall 11 may be flat, the front wall 10 projecting outward and connected to the two small side walls 9 along the corresponding sharp longitudinal edges 13 and may be modified. 9 may be formed with a substantially obtuse dihedral angle.

[0034]
In the preferred embodiment, the longitudinal crease line 17 (also referred to as the longitudinal major crease line) is more fragile than the longitudinal crease line 26 (also referred to as the secondary longitudinal crease line). This is because the longitudinal crease line 26 acts as a slightly curved side band 25 without sharp edges, whereas the longitudinal crease line 17 defines a sharp longitudinal edge 13. In order to obtain varying degrees of vulnerability, the longitudinal crease lines 17 and 26 are each configured by an incision in one or both of various shapes and dimensions.
[0035]
For this reason, in the parcel 1, at least one longitudinal edge 13 and at least one transverse edge 14 are non-right or non-right angle edges, whereas the other longitudinal edges 13 and The transverse edge 14 is a sharp right-angled edge. Preferably, the two longitudinal edges 13 of the rear wall 11 and the two transverse large edges 14a of the front wall 10 are non-perpendicular edges, whereas the other transverse edges 14 and longitudinal edges. Part 13 is a sharp right-angled edge.
[0036]
The non-perpendicular longitudinal edge 13 can be formed in three ways. A rounded longitudinal edge 13 may be formed, or a chamfered longitudinal edge 13 may be formed. Alternatively, each side wall 9, 10 or 11 that borders the longitudinal edge 13 has at least one half-surface portion that projects outwardly and another adjacent side wall 9, 10 that borders the longitudinal edge 13. Or together with its adjacent side walls 9, 10 or 11 respectively forming a generally obtuse dihedral angle (in this case the longitudinal edge 13 is a sharp edge).
[0037]
The non-perpendicular transverse edge 14 can be formed in four ways. A rounded transverse edge 14 may be formed, or a chamfered transverse edge 14 may be formed. Alternatively, each side wall 9, 10 or 11 that borders the transverse edge 14 has at least one half-surface portion that projects outwardly and an adjacent end wall 7 or 8 that borders the transverse edge 14. Together with their adjacent end walls 7 or 8 respectively forming a generally obtuse dihedral angle (in this case the transverse edge 14 is a sharp edge). Alternatively, the end wall 7 or 8 bordering the transverse edge 14 has at least one half-surface portion projecting outward and connected to the adjacent side wall 9, 10 or 11 bordering the transverse edge 14. Together with its adjacent side walls 9, 10 or 11 respectively forming a generally obtuse dihedral angle (in this case the transverse edge 14 is a sharp edge).
[0038]
According to the numerous advantages of the cigarette parcel 1 described above, the method of forming the parcel 1 may be fully applied to the manufacture of cigarette cartons. This carton is substantially identical to the parcel 1 described above except that it houses a group of cigarette packages rather than a group of cigarettes (not shown).
