Description

  The present invention relates to a container for bundled consumer goods. This container has particular application as a container for elongated smoking articles such as cigarettes.

  Smoking articles such as cigarettes and cigars are generally packaged in a rigid hinged lid container having a box and a lid coupled to the box around a hinge line extending across the rear wall of the container. Such hinged lid containers are usually constructed from a single piece of layered cardboard blank. In use, the lid rotates about the hinge line to open the container, providing access to the stack of smoking articles disposed within the box.

  A bundle of smoking articles disposed in a box is usually wrapped in an inner liner of metallized paper, metal foil or other flexible sheet material. To access the bundle of smoking articles in the inner liner of the unopened container, the consumer usually first opens the lid of the container and removes the pre-punched upper portion or pull tab of the inner liner.

  European Patent EP 2 155 568 discloses a hinged lid container with a sealed bundle, which sealed bundle opens automatically when the lid of the container is opened. However, sealed bundles are relatively expensive and also require non-standard machinery to make at high speed. It is desirable if there is a simple possibility to create a pack that opens automatically. One object of the present invention is to provide a container for consumer goods which simplifies the opening of the container.

  According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a container for consumer goods, wherein the container comprises a housing comprising a box and a lid, wherein the lid is hinged to the box along a lid hinge line, The lid also includes a front wall. In addition, the container comprises a bundle of consumer goods disposed within the housing. The bundle comprises an upper wall protruding from the box, and wherein the bundle further comprises an inner liner that is folded around the consumer article to form a bundle. The inner liner forms an envelope fold on the top wall of the bundle. According to the invention, the envelope fold is an inner liner upper front flap, wherein the inner liner upper front flap is subordinate to the inner liner's front panel, and an inner liner upper rear flap, wherein the inner liner upper rear flap is Subordinate to the rear panel of the inner liner. The inner liner upper front flap and the inner liner upper rear flap are arranged such that the inner liner upper front flap and the inner liner upper rear flap at least partially form an overlapping portion.

  In addition, the inner liner comprises a front withdrawal section which is subordinate to the inner liner front panel along a front line of weakness, wherein the front withdrawal section forms part of the inner liner upper front flap. Furthermore, the inner liner comprises a rear tearing section which is subordinate to the inner liner rear panel along the rear weakness line, wherein the rear tearing section forms part of the inner liner upper rear flap in the overlapping area. In addition, the inner liner further comprises a rear flap adhesive area in the overlap area, wherein the rear flap adhesive area permanently attaches the forward tear away section to the rear tear away section in the overlap area. Thus, the opening flap assembly is created such that the opening flaps allow access to the consumer goods stored in the bundle.

  According to the present invention, the opening flap is a standard inner liner bundle used by consumers to open and close the bundle, simply by providing two lines of weakness forward and backward and applying an adhesive. Created from At the same time, additional filter outside of the opening flap is provided, for example for the filter end of the smoking article outside the access opening created by the opening flap assembly, so that additional protection for consumer goods is provided. Protective inner liners are held around the top front of the bundle. In addition, a more visible inner liner is retained on the front wall of the inner liner bundle, for example, as compared to conventional hinged lid packs for smoking articles (e.g., Flip-top.RTM. Type). It can be used for communicating information to consumers. In some embodiments, the adhesive area extends to an overlap outside the area of the rear tear away section and the front tear away section. In this manner, the remaining portions of the envelope folds remain attached to one another even after opening the opening flap assembly. In such embodiments, the remaining adhered portion of the envelope fold creates a well-defined access opening. In addition, the connection between the remaining parts of the envelope fold generally increases the structural strength of the bundle, thus enhancing the protection of the consumer goods stored in the bundle.

  Any suitable technique or combination of techniques may be used to attach the front tear away section to the rear tear away section, for example by adhering the front tear away section to the rear tear away section by means of a permanent adhesive, a releasable adhesive or a microsuction structure . An adhesive may be applied to the front tear away section prior to contacting the rear tear away section. Alternatively or additionally, an adhesive may be applied to the rear tear away section prior to contacting with the front tear away section.

  Depending on the shape of the line of weakness, the opening flap assembly can take any suitable shape or combination of shapes and can have any suitable dimensions. The line of weakness may be continuous or non-continuous (eg, perforated). Additionally, the lines of weakness may be formed using any suitable technique or combination of techniques, such as laser cutting or mechanical cutting (eg, die cutting, kiss cutting). The line of weakness may comprise any suitable depth in a direction transverse to the inner and outer surface of the wrapper. Preferably, the line of weakness has a depth of at least about 90 percent of the total thickness of the wrapper. More preferably, the line of weakness has a depth of about 100 percent of the total thickness of the wrapper. After the lines are formed, any suitable percentage of material may remain along the line of weakness. Preferably, about 5 percent to about 25 percent of the inner liner material remains along the line of weakness after the lines are formed.

  The bundle can be more reliably sealed along the line of weakness until the container is opened for the first time. This can extend the shelf life of the consumer goods contained in the container.

  The inner liner may comprise any suitable material or combination of materials, and may comprise any suitable number of layers. The inner liner is preferably formed of metal foil or metallized paper. The inner liner may be formed as a laminate of a metallized polyethylene film and a liner material. The inner liner can have a thickness of about 10 microns to about 50 microns, with a thickness of about 20 microns to about 80 microns being preferred. In addition, the inner liner may be provided with a print receptive topcoat.

  The opening flap assembly separates the opening flap assembly from the inner liner along a line of weakness along with the opening in the lid and hinges along the opening flap assembly hinge line to the remainder of the inner liner As is preferred, it is attached to the inner surface of the lid by the front adhesive area. This advantageously allows the consumer to open the container and the inner liner in a single operation. In addition, attachment of the opening flap assembly to the lid allows the opening flap assembly to retract back to its original position when the pack can be opened, potentially partially closing the access opening. prevent. The opening flap assembly is preferably attached to the lid in such a way that the opening flap assembly is S-shaped when viewed from the side. In the embodiment of the pack according to the invention in which the S-shape is attractive and, for example, the pack must be opened for the first time and the line of weakness still needs to be broken, the S-shape additionally additionally makes the lid smooth and continuous. Promote an open mouth. Under these circumstances, the S-shape is superior to the C-shape of the opening flap assembly which requires simultaneous breaking of the line of weakness along its entire length, for example, during the initial opening operation.

  Any suitable technique or combination of techniques may be used to attach the front withdrawal section to the inner surface of the lid, for example by means of a permanent adhesive, a releasable adhesive or a microsuction structure, the front withdrawal section to the inner surface of the lid Glue. An adhesive may be applied to the front pull away section prior to contacting the inner surface of the lid. Alternatively or additionally, an adhesive may be applied to the inner surface of the lid prior to contact with the anterior tearing section.

  The container may take any form suitable for containing the consumer goods. For example, as already mentioned, the container may be a hinged lid container having one or more hinged lids connected to a box containing the consumer goods. In one or more embodiments, the container may be a slide and shell container having an inner slide for receiving consumer goods mounted within the outer shell. If the container is a slide and shell container, the outer shell or inner slide may include one or more hinge lids. The container, inner frame, bundle, and outer inner liner may be formed of any suitable material including, but not limited to, cardboard, cardboard, plastic, metal, or combinations thereof. The cardboard may have a weight of about 100 grams per square meter to about 350 grams per square meter.

  The rear tearing section is preferably below the front tear away section in the overlap area. Furthermore, the rear tearing section preferably extends from the bundle rear wall to the inner liner upper rear flap. Such a design enlarges the access opening of the bundle. This method allows easier access to the consumer goods contained in the bundle.

  The aft line of weakness preferably includes a C-shaped end section in the bundle back wall that terminates the line of weakness on either side. The C-shaped end section of the line of weakness prevents the tear along the line of weakness from advancing further towards the bottom of the back wall of the bundle. Thus, a clearly defined position of the hinge of the opening flap assembly is realized.

  Preferably, the forward withdrawal section extends from the bundle front wall to the inner liner upper front flap. With such a design, the access opening of the bundle can be enlarged, allowing easier access to the consumer goods contained within the bundle. In particular, the combination of the features of the rear tearing section extending in the rear wall can make an opening allowing access to the consumer goods from three sides. This may be particularly advantageous when trying to remove rod-shaped articles from a bundle, such as smoking articles.

  Preferably, the lateral width of the front tear away section is greater than the lateral width of the rear tear section. This can prevent the rear tearing section from catching on the end of the opening in the inner liner in the overlap area when the front upper flap of the inner liner is over the rear upper flap of the inner liner. It is particularly advantageous.

  In addition, this is particularly advantageous as it creates a larger opening in front of the bundle. Therefore, access to consumer goods within the bundle is improved.

  A further advantage is that the alignment between the envelope fold parts at the top of the bundle is simplified. This is particularly important in the application of adhesives. For example, when applying the adhesive to the outside of the inner section of the envelope fold in the smaller rear tearing section, the possibility of the adhesive coming out of the side is more as the outer section of the envelope fold has a larger forward withdrawal section Low.

  Preferably, the inner liner further comprises an envelope fold at the bottom wall of the bundle. Alternatively, or additionally, the inner liner further includes envelope folds on one or more side walls of the bundle. Preferably, at least a portion of the outer surface of the bundle is permanently affixed to the corresponding portion of the inner surface of the rear wall of the box. Preferably, at least a portion of the outer surface of the bundle is permanently affixed to the corresponding portion of the inner surface of the front wall of the box. This may overall improve the structural strength of the bundle.

  The container may also include an inner frame disposed within the box. The inner frame may be disposed between the bundle and the front wall of the box or in the bundle. When disposed within the bundle, the inner frame is positioned such that the front wall of the bundle is between the inner frame and the front wall of the box. The inner frame includes a front wall and a pair of opposing side walls. Preferably the inner frame is U-shaped. The term "U-shaped" as used herein means a shape comprising three parts, wherein the first and third parts are parallel to one another and the second part and the second part. It extends in the same direction at right angles.

  The front wall of the inner frame is preferably arranged such that the front wall of the bundle is between the front wall of the inner frame and the front wall of the box. Advantageously, the large surface area inner frame provided adjacent the front wall of the bundle increases the structural strength of the container.

  Preferably the inner frame comprises a cutout at the top of the front wall. The cutout preferably corresponds substantially to the access opening, and is provided to allow for easier access of the consumer goods in the bundle. If the inner frame includes a cutout, the height of the inner frame is defined as the distance from the bottom of the inner frame to the cutout.

  The inner frame may include an inner reinforcement on the inside of the bundle. The inner reinforcement, when present, preferably comprises at least one material layer, such as a cardboard similar to that utilized to make the inner frame.
