Description

  The present invention relates to a cigarette package with a hinged lid.

  Rigid hinged cigarette packages with lids are now the most widely sold due to their ease of production, practical and easy to use, and by effectively protecting the inner cigarettes Yes.

  A rigid hinged lid cigarette package rotates relative to the cup-shaped container having an open end and an open position that opens the open end and a closed position that closes the open end And a cup-shaped lid hingedly attached to the container along the hinge.

  This container is an orderly cigarette that typically includes 20 cigarettes that are packaged in a sheet of foil wrapping material and arranged in three rows of 7, 6, and 7, respectively. Accommodates tobacco groups. Some consumers prefer a group that contains a smaller number of cigarettes (usually 6 to 10 standard sizes), which is generally because of cigarettes that smoke per day. Naturally, this is easier to implement when only the target number is available.

  To meet this requirement, a small, robust cigarette package that houses 8 to 10 cigarette groups and a plurality of interconnected and each housing 6 to 10 cigarette groups. Rigid cigarette packages with containers are currently on the market.

  However, currently marketed rigid cigarette packages with multiple connected containers (known commercially as “folding packages”) are complex in production and specially designed By requiring the use of both a packaged packaging machine and an L-shaped blank that is difficult to store and fold, it is very expensive.

  Despite accommodating at most half of the number of cigarettes in a conventional rigid cigarette package, 70-80% of the packaging material of a conventional rigid cigarette package is still required, Even a small and robust cigarette package (ie, containing at most 10 standard size cigarettes) is very costly. In addition, consumers prefer groups with a low number of cigarettes, but frequent purchases of 8 to 10 cigarettes at a time (especially if the retailer is not in a convenient location) ) Clearly inconvenient, so consumers tend to purchase a large number of cigarette packages, perhaps in the form of a carton, usually containing 10 packages.

  Patent application US20031833541A1 discloses a hinged lid cigarette carton having the same hinged mounting lid design as the inner cigarette package, and the hinged lid cigarette carton is in two overlapping rows. Containing ten cigarette packages arranged in a shape, each of the two rows being arranged side by side with the front wall of one package contacting the rear wall of an adjacent package Includes five cigarette packages. However, cigarette cartons of the type described in patent application US2003183541A1 are very large and cumbersome and are therefore difficult to carry in a pocket or bag.

  In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 8, and 9, a small amount of mechanical interference caused between the lid 4 and the inner container 18 may cause certain lids to open the lid 4. The outer container 2 is not provided with a collar, as it is sufficient to require an amount of force, and is therefore sufficient to hold the lid 4 in the closed position. However, removing one or more inner containers 18 from the outer container 2 in use (typically when the inner container is empty) can result in a small amount of mechanical between the lid 4 and the inner container 18. The collar attached to the outer container 2 is still useful because it removes the interference. For this reason, in the embodiment of FIGS. 10 and 11, the outer container 2 comprises an integral collar 37, ie a blank forming part that forms the outer container 2, and an equivalent collar is shown in FIGS. 4, 8 and 9 will also be provided.

Preferably, the protrusions 38 form an integral part of the front wall 39 of the collar 37 and project laterally on the opposite sides of the front wall 39.

  12, 13, and 14, the lid 4 includes two seats 41 (only one seat is shown in FIGS. 12, 13, and 14). Each is formed in a respective side wall 12 and comprises an opening 42 facing the outer container 2 and parallel to the side wall 12. The top portion 43 of each side wall 40 of the collar 37 is shaped to fit inside the respective seat 41 through the opening 42 of the seat 41 when the lid 4 is in the closed position. And due to friction between the top portion 43 of each side wall 40 of the collar 37 and the inner surface of the respective seat 41, it is necessary to apply a certain amount of force to open the lid 4. And, therefore, this facilitates holding the lid 4 in the closed position.

  The opening 42 of each seat 41 and the top edge 44 of each side wall 40 of the collar 37 are such that the top edge 44 is inside the opening 42 (eg, when the lid 4 is rotated to the closed position). Progressively fit (in the form of a scissor cut movement), so that when the lid 4 is rotated to the closed position, the top edge 44 presses against the respective seat 41 and stops moving. Designed to prevent that.

  12 and 14 show the lid 4 in the open position, in which the top portion 43 of each side wall 40 of the collar 37 has a respective seat formed on the respective side wall 12. FIG. 13 shows the lid 4 in the closed position, in which the top portion 43 of each side wall 40 of the collar 37 is located on the respective side wall 12. It is located inside each seat 41 formed in the.
