Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

  The present invention relates to tobacco products, and in particular to tobacco boxes, and to a cardboard blank from which the above boxes can be made.

  A conventional cigarette box is a rectangular parallelepiped extending along a long axis, and includes a storage body and a closing body attached to the storage body in a hinged manner via a hinge.

  The storage body includes a front wall, a rear wall, two side walls, and a base wall. The closure body has a front surface, a rear surface, two side surfaces and a top surface. The hinge described above is disposed between the rear wall of the storage body and the rear surface of the closure body.

  Smokers appreciate the above box for its rigidity to avoid cigarette damage, even when the box is impacted or even when the box is in the consumer's pocket or bag .

  The above-mentioned types of boxes disclosed are made from sturdy cardboard blanks.

  Lightly put a line that is pre-folded into a blank and fold along the line to form a box.

  In order to encourage smokers to prefer aesthetically pleasing boxes rather than traditional-looking boxes, there is a recent trend to customize boxes with conventional hinged closure bodies. Therefore, tobacco manufacturers feel that it is necessary to change to a box that has a sensibility appearance that makes consumers feel “fancy boxes” and “attractive boxes”.

  For the above reasons, a box is manufactured in which the length of the front surface of the closing body is the same as the length of the front wall of the storage body or exceeds the length of the front wall when measured along the long axis. Yes.

  Therefore, in such a box, the side of the closure body has a length that exceeds the length of the side of the lid of a conventional box when measured along the long axis.

  This type of box is disclosed, for example, in WO 2004/065235 and WO 2009/020383. Specifically, DE-A-2334190 discloses a box having a storage body for storing cigarettes, and a closure body connected to the storage body by a hinge disposed at an end on the storage body. . The closure body includes a front surface and a pair of side surfaces. The pair of side surfaces are opposed to each other, and extend from the opposite side portions on the front surface. The side surface is formed by a simple wall made of cardboard, and the front surface includes an outer wall and an inner wall. The outer wall and the inner wall are respectively adhered to increase the rigidity of the front surface. EP-A-0764594 discloses a hard cigarette box with a hinged lid. The box is defined by a bowl-shaped container and a bowl-shaped lid. The lid is hingedly attached to the container so as to rotate between an opening position for opening the container and a closed position for closing the container. The box includes a front wall and two side walls connected to the front wall by two connection walls. The connecting wall has a curved cross section having a radius of curvature approximately 1.5 times that of a normal cigarette.

  The disadvantage of such a box is that the side of the closure body tends to bend outward. That is, since it is not exactly closed, various problems occur when opening and closing the closed main body, which causes discomfort.

  A simple fold reaction on a thin paperboard causes the sides to bend.

  In particular, the wider width of the side surface causes the folded lines from which the side surface is obtained to be separated by a large distance, which is even if the material rebound is gradual. Causes significant deflection. One object of the present invention is to improve tobacco products, in particular tobacco boxes, and to improve the cardboard blanks used to obtain such boxes.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a cigarette product, particularly a cigarette box, having a closure body that is more durable than conventional boxes.

  Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a box for cigarette products, particularly tobacco, having a closure body with a sturdy side compared to the conventional side.

  Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a box for tobacco products, particularly tobacco, which has a wide surface that can be used for communicating information to consumers, advertising messages, and the like.

  Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a box for tobacco products, especially tobacco, which has a favorable aesthetic appearance.

  A first aspect of the present invention is a tobacco product, particularly a tobacco box, as disclosed in independent claim 1.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a box for a tobacco product that has a stronger closure body compared to a conventional box.

  In fact, the fixing portion (specifically, the portion glued and fixed to the inner surface of the front surface) is in contrast. The problem that the side surface is bent outward is considerably solved and the side surface is maintained in a substantially straight state. Further, the side is robust because it is at least partially formed by the inner wall and the outer wall. By the above, it is improved to the box which has aesthetic appeal, and the improvement to the closure main body which is easy to handle is also seen.

  Further, since the side surface is more robust than the side surface of the known box, the front surface can be enlarged to the same size as the front wall of the storage body as compared with the known box. Thereby, the surface which can be used for information transmission (for example, message advertisement etc.) to consumers can be expanded.

  In particular, in an embodiment of the present invention, the message may be pre-printed on the fixed part that extends substantially across the entire width of the inner surface.

  The second aspect of the present invention is a cardboard blank disclosed in the independent claim 31.

  Since the cardboard blank in the second aspect of the present invention is a blank having the same outline as the outer contour in the conventional blank, the box according to the first aspect of the present invention can be easily obtained with a conventional machine. Can be manufactured. The present invention may be understood and practiced by reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate other embodiments of the invention using non-limiting examples.

  Thus, like a conventional box, a smoker may be able to open the third box 301 and take out the cigarette by rotating the lid 396 about the hinge 305.

  After removing the cigarette, the smoker rotates the lid 396 around the hinge 305 and closes the third box 301 until the lid 396 engages with the wing 397.

  Instead, as described above, the smoker may slide the closing main body 304 with respect to the storage main body 303. Holding the storage body 303 with one hand and holding the closure body 304 with the other hand, a force is applied to slide the closure body 304 relative to the storage body 303. In this method, the closure body 304 is slid relative to the storage body 303 with the inner housing 306 and the closure body 304 attached via the further wings 382 that engage the respective longitudinal passages 378.

The first tip region is close to the base wall 307 of the storage body 303 and serves as a stop or tip cushion for a pair of additional wings 382.

  The closure body 304 is at least partially slid relative to the storage body 303 and the lid 396 is rotated around the hinge 305 to allow the user to remove the cigarette.

  After removing the one or more cigarettes, the user again closes the closure body 304 until a further wing 382 is placed against the storage body 303 at the top that contacts the second tip region of the longitudinal passage 378. Slide. The second tip region is opposed to the first tip region and serves as a stop or tip cushion for a further pair of additional wings 382.

  Subsequently, the user closes the lid 396 and maintains the closed state by interlocking the V-shaped notch included in the lid 396 with the wing 397. With the above, again, the third box 301 returns to the shape of a conventional sturdy box.
