Description

  The present invention relates to a side open type package.

  Conventionally, a soft package, a hard package (box type package), etc. are well-known as a package (package) which accommodates things, such as a cigarette. As one form of the hard package, a side open type package is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Normally, this type of side-open type package has an inner box that houses a cigarette bundle, and an outer lid that can open and close a cigarette outlet formed in the inner box, and a hinge along the vertical direction of the side wall of the inner box. It is connected via a pivot. Moreover, in general, cigarette packages often house an inner pack formed by enclosing a cigarette bundle with an inner packaging material in an accommodating portion.

  By the way, when manufacturing a side open type box package, for the purpose of protecting cigarettes (winding), preventing cigarettes from being scattered, etc., a flap piece covering a part of the opening is formed at the upper end of the inner box. There is. This type of flap piece is often formed along the width direction of the inner box so as to cover the rear part while leaving the front part of the opening end of the inner box as a cigarette outlet.

  However, in the conventional side open type package, when the outer lid is closed, a contained object such as a cigarette bundle, an inner packaging folded so as to wrap the cigarette, or the flap piece itself interferes with the outer lid. The fact is that it is easy. That is, the side open type package is configured such that when the outer lid is closed, the upper wall on the side of the outer lid for covering the take-out port overlaps at least a part of the upper surface of the flap piece. In the process of closing, the upper wall portion on the outer lid side tends to collide with the flap piece on the inner box side or the object to be accommodated in the inner box, and there is a risk that these will be damaged. In particular, when the object to be contained includes a cigarette and an inner packaging material that wraps the cigarette, the end of the inner packaging material folded back by the collision with the upper surface wall is sandwiched between the upper surface wall and the flap piece, and the outer lid is opened and closed. If it is repeatedly performed, the inner packaging material may be broken, and there is a concern that the appearance (appearance) of the package is impaired (deteriorated).

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and in the side open type package, when the outer lid is closed, the outer lid is prevented from interfering with an object to be accommodated or a flap piece. Thus, it is an object of the present invention to provide a technique capable of suppressing damage to the objects to be accommodated and the flap pieces and preventing the appearance of the package from being damaged.

  In the present invention, in order to solve the above-described problem, the side open-side package connects (joins) the flap pieces in the inner box to the front wall in at least a part of the connecting section in the width direction of the inner box. did.

  Specifically, the side open type package according to the present invention includes a substantially rectangular parallelepiped inner box having an open end at the top, and a flap portion that covers the remaining portion while leaving a part of the open end as a take-out port for the contained object. An outer lid that is pivotally connected to the inner box via a hinge formed along one side wall in the width direction of the inner box, and that covers the take-out port when closed. An outer lid having at least a portion, and the flap piece is connected to the front wall of the inner box in at least a part of the connecting section in the width direction of the inner box.

  The side open type package (lateral opening type package) is extended and arranged in a direction in which the hinge is orthogonal to the plane direction of the flap pieces in the inner box. On the other hand, on the outer lid side, when the outer lid is closed, an upper surface wall portion for covering the take-out port of the inner box is formed. The upper surface wall portion is arranged in parallel with the flap piece of the inner box, and gradually approaches the flap piece when the outer lid is closed. Then, the upper wall portion of the outer lid slides while partially overlapping with the flap pieces of the inner box, and finally covers the entire outlet, thereby completing the closing operation of the outer lid.

  On the other hand, in the side open type package according to the present invention, the flap piece is connected to the front wall of the inner box in the connecting section which is at least a section in the width direction of the inner box. When the outer lid is closed, it is difficult for the upper surface wall portion of the outer lid to enter the lower side of the flap piece (on the accommodation space side of the object to be stored) or to collide with the flap piece. For this reason, it is suppressed that a flap piece bends or breaks. Further, in the above-described connection section, the upper part of the object to be accommodated in the inner box is covered with the flap piece, so that the upper surface wall portion on the outer lid side may interfere (collision, contact) with the object to be accommodated. It is suppressed. As described above, a side open type package that can prevent damage to the target object and the flap piece or damage the appearance of the package is provided.

  Here, in the side open type package, the outer lid is opened and closed around a hinge extending in the height (up and down) direction of the package. For this reason, when closing the outer lid, the closer to the hinge, the closer the upper surface wall of the outer lid approaches the object accommodated in the inner box, and these tend to interfere with each other. There is. Therefore, in the present invention, the flap piece may be connected from the hinge side end of the inner box to a midway position in the width direction of the inner box. In this case, the region proximal to the hinge in the width direction of the inner box is set as a connecting section that connects the front wall and the flap piece. According to this, since the object to be stored is covered with the flap piece in the region adjacent to the hinge in the inner box, even if the upper surface wall part approaches the object to be stored at a steep angle, the upper surface wall part is covered. It is possible to more suitably suppress damage to the object without colliding with the object.

  The flap piece may extend from the upper end edge of the front wall in the connecting section and be folded toward the open end with a fold line formed along the upper end edge as a boundary. According to this, it arrange | positions so that the flap piece connected from the front wall side may wrap around to the opening end side over the connection area of an inner box. According to this, the upper wall portion of the outer lid is not formed with a gap, a recess, or the like that the tip of the upper wall portion is caught at the joint portion between the flap piece and the front wall in the connecting section of the inner box. It can suppress more reliably that a flap piece bends or breaks by interference with.

  Further, the predetermined hinge proximal region including the hinge side end portion of the upper surface wall portion has a smaller depth dimension than the predetermined hinge distal region located farther from the hinge than the hinge proximal region. It may be configured. According to this configuration, when the outer lid is closed, the depth dimension of the hinge proximal region in which the upper wall of the outer lid approaches the object to be accommodated in the inner box at a steep angle is determined by the distance from the hinge. Compared to the case where the depth dimension of the hinge proximal region is equal to that of the hinge distal region by making it relatively small compared to the position region, the hinge proximal region and the flap piece of the inner box and Interference with the contents is less likely to occur. Therefore, it is possible to suitably avoid damage to the flap pieces of the inner box and the objects to be accommodated, and to suitably prevent the appearance from being damaged. Further, the hinge distal region in the upper surface wall portion is relatively less likely to interfere with the upper surface wall portion and the flap piece or the object to be accommodated when the outer lid is closed, compared to the hinge proximal region. For this reason, in the hinge distal region in the upper wall portion, the above-described problem of interference is difficult to be manifested even if the depth dimension is increased as compared with the hinge proximal region. And in the hinge distal region of the top wall, by making the depth dimension larger than the hinge proximal region, the depth opening width of the extraction port formed in the region corresponding to the hinge distal region is sufficiently secured Will be able to. Thereby, it becomes possible to contribute to the improvement of the easiness of taking out the contained object through the take-out port.

  Further, as described above, when the depth dimension of the hinge proximal region is made smaller than the hinge distal region of the upper surface wall portion, the hinge proximal region of the upper surface wall portion is closer to the hinge side end portion. You may form so that a depth dimension may become small. According to this, among the hinge proximal region in the upper surface wall portion, the depth dimension is gradually reduced as it approaches the hinge side end, so that the hinge proximal region in the upper surface wall portion, the flap piece of the inner box and the accommodation Interference with an object can be suitably avoided. Further, according to this configuration, since the free end side edge portion in the hinge proximal region of the upper surface wall portion is formed as an inclined edge portion, a steep step is formed in the free end side edge portion in the middle of the hinge proximal region. It will not be done. As a result, when the outer lid is closed, there is an advantage that the free end side edge portion of the upper surface wall portion is not easily caught on the flap piece, the object to be accommodated, or the like. On the other hand, in the hinge proximal region, by gradually increasing the depth dimension as the distance from the hinge side end is increased, it is possible to sufficiently secure the depth opening width of the extraction port in the region far from the hinge. There is. For this reason, within the range which can avoid the interference with the flap piece of the inner box and the object to be stored, the ease of taking out the object through the outlet can be suitably improved.

  The depth dimension at the hinge side end of the upper surface wall may be substantially zero. In this case, the hinge proximal region in the upper surface wall portion is configured such that the depth dimension gradually decreases as it approaches the hinge proximal region and becomes substantially zero at the hinge side end. According to this, interference with the hinge proximal region in the upper surface wall portion and the flap piece of the inner box or the object to be accommodated can be more preferably avoided.

  Moreover, in this invention, the said hinge may be formed along the edge part which makes the boundary of the said front wall and one side wall in the said inner box. In this way, by forming a hinge along the edge between the front wall and the side wall of the inner box, the side end of the front wall part that covers the front wall of the inner box when the outer lid is closed is formed. It can be directly hinged to the inner box. According to this configuration, when closing the outer lid, compared to the case where the hinge is formed along the edge between the rear wall and the side wall of the inner box, the flap piece of the inner box and the object to be contained are closed. The upper surface wall of the outer lid can be approached at a gentle angle. Therefore, when closing the outer lid, it is possible to more suitably avoid interference between the flap piece of the inner box or the object to be accommodated and the upper surface wall portion. Furthermore, by connecting the outer lid to the inner box via a hinge formed along the edge that forms the boundary between the front wall and the side wall in the inner box, the depth dimension at the hinge side end of the upper surface wall is substantially reduced. Even in the case of zero, the side end of the front wall portion of the outer lid can be directly hinged to the inner box. As a result, it can suppress that the rigidity of an outer lid falls.

  Further, the side open type package according to the present invention includes a film gauge provided on the front wall of the inner box, and a background display sheet on which a background image is displayed while being superimposed under the film gauge. Further comprising slit animation means for generating a moving image by sliding the screen, and an end portion of the sketch display sheet is fixed to a front wall portion of the outer lid connected to the inner box via the hinge In addition, the background display sheet and the film gauge may be configured to slide relative to each other in conjunction with the opening / closing operation of the outer lid. According to this, each time the operator opens and closes the outer lid, the background display sheet and the film gauge can be relatively slid in conjunction with the opening and closing operation, and the visual effect that causes the slit animation is achieved. can get. Therefore, added value can be given to the package, and consumers' willingness to purchase can be enhanced.

  In addition, although the to-be-contained object accommodated in the side open type package which concerns on this invention is not specifically limited, For example, a tobacco product can be illustrated suitably as a to-be-contained object. Examples of tobacco products include cigarettes (filter cigarettes, double-cut cigarettes (no filter)), cigars (cigars), cigarillos, snus, snuff, chewing tobacco, and electronic cigarettes. Of course, the side open type package according to the present invention may accommodate articles other than tobacco products such as confectionery and gum.

  Further, means for solving the problems in the present invention can be employed in combination as much as possible.

  According to the present invention, in the side open type package, when the outer lid is closed, the outer lid is prevented from interfering with the object to be accommodated and the flap piece or the like, thereby damaging the object or the flap piece. It is possible to provide a technique capable of suppressing inviting or damaging the appearance of the package.

<Embodiment>
An embodiment of a side open type package according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. An object to be accommodated in a package to which the present invention is applied is not limited to a specific object, but here, a case where a cigarette is accommodated in a package will be described as an example.

[Package structure]
1 and 2 are perspective views of a side open type package (hereinafter simply referred to as “package”) 1 according to the embodiment. 1 and 2 are perspective views of the package 1 as viewed from the front side. The package 1 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole, and includes an inner box 2 and an outer lid 3 connected via a hinge. FIG. 1 shows the package 1 with the outer lid 3 opened relative to the inner box 2. On the other hand, FIG. 2 shows the package 1 in a state in which the outer lid 3 is closed, and a cigarette (contained object) outlet 26 in the inner box 2 is exposed (opened) to the outside. Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, the front side of the package 1 is defined as “front” and the back side is defined as “rear”.

  The inner box 2 is a storage box that has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and can store the inner pack 6 including the cigarette 61 and the inner packaging material 62. Details of the inner pack 6 will be described later. The inner box 2 includes a rectangular rear wall 21, a front wall 22 disposed opposite to the rear wall 21, a pair of side walls 23 </ b> A and 23 </ b> B that mutually connect both side edges of the rear wall 21 and the front wall 22. 24 and the opening end formed in the upper part thereof is partially blocked by the flap piece 25. The bottom wall 24 is connected to lower ends of the rear wall 21, the front wall 22, and the pair of side walls 23A and 23B. Here, the front wall 22 and the rear wall 21 are defined by the height and width of the inner box 2, the pair of side walls 23A and 23B are defined by the height and depth of the inner box 2, and the bottom wall 24 is defined by the width of the inner box 2. Defined by depth. FIG. 2 shows the vertical (height) direction, the left / right (width) direction, and the front / rear (depth) direction of the inner box 2 defined in this specification. As shown in the drawing, the vertical (height) direction, the left / right (width) direction, and the front / rear (depth) direction of the inner box 2 are orthogonal to each other.

  Here, reference numeral 4 denotes a hinge formed at an edge portion that forms a boundary between the side wall 23 </ b> A and the front wall 22 in the inner box 2. The hinge 4 is formed along one side wall 23 </ b> A in the inner box 2, and the inner box 2 and the outer lid 3 are hingedly connected to each other via the hinge 4. That is, the hinge 4 is extended and arranged along the height direction (vertical direction) of the inner box 2. In the width direction (left-right direction) of the inner box 2, the edge 5 that forms the boundary between the side wall 23B on which the hinge 4 is not formed and the front wall 22 has a round shape (round shape). It is formed as. Further, the other edge in the inner box 2, that is, the edge that forms the boundary between the side wall 23A and the front wall 22, the edge that forms the boundary between the side wall 23A and the rear wall 21, and the side wall 23B and the rear wall 21 The edge part which forms a boundary is formed as a square edge (square corner) having a square shape. In the above configuration example, the edge 5 in the inner box 2 is a round edge and the other edge in the inner box 2 is a square edge. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the edge of the inner box 2 may be a chamfered edge. For example, the interference between the side wall 32 and the edge portion 5 of the outer lid 3 can be suppressed by forming the edge portion 5 that forms the boundary between the side wall 23B and the front wall 22 in the inner box 2 with a round edge or a chamfered edge. And the outer lid 3 can be smoothly closed.

  Further, the inner box 2 accommodates (stores) the cigarette 61 in the form of an inner pack 6 formed by wrapping a bundle of cigarettes 61 with the inner packaging material 62. The inner packaging material 62 is, for example, a sheet-like aluminum vapor-deposited paper having a rectangular shape, and includes a paper base material and an aluminum film vapor-deposited on the surface thereof. The aluminum film protects the cigarette 61 from moisture, prevents the release and dissipation of fragrance from each cigarette 61, and is effective for maintaining the shape of the cigarette 61 bundle.

  Next, the flap piece 25 in the inner box 2 and the outlet 26 for the cigarette 61 will be described. The flap piece 25 is a member that covers the remaining portion of the open end while leaving a part of the open end of the inner box 2 as the takeout port 26 of the cigarette 61 that is an object to be accommodated. That is, the flap piece 25 can also be regarded as a top wall (top plate) disposed opposite to the bottom wall 24 of the inner box 2 in which the takeout port 26 for taking out the cigarette 61 is opened. When the opening end is viewed from above the inner box 2, the flap piece 25 covers the rear side (portion near the rear wall 21) at the opening end. Further, the flap piece 25 also covers a part of the front side (portion near the front wall 22) at the opening end, specifically, the front portion of the region proximal to the end where the hinge 4 is located. Yes.

  Furthermore, a notch recess 27 is formed on the front wall 22 and the side wall 23B of the inner box 2 so as to straddle both. As shown in FIG. 1, the cutout recess 27 is formed at the upper right corner of the front wall 22 when the inner box 2 is viewed from the front side. Further, the notch recess 27 defines the outline (outer shape) of the take-out port 26 together with the edge of the flap piece 25. That is, the outlet 26 of the inner box 2 is defined as an opening region surrounded by the flap piece 25 and the cutout recess 27. The notch recess 27 is not provided so as to straddle the upper part of the front wall 22 and the upper part of the side wall 23B in the inner box 2, and is formed only in the region of the upper part of the front wall 22 or only the upper part of the side wall 23B. It may be. However, as in the present embodiment, the notch recess 27 in the inner box 2 is formed so as to straddle the upper part of the front wall 22 and the upper part of the side wall 23B, thereby being accommodated in the inner box 2. Increased exposure of objects. As a result, it becomes possible for the handler to take out the object to be stored more easily.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the flap piece 25 extends from the end on the hinge 4 side of the inner box 2 (hereinafter referred to as “hinge side end”) to the inner box 2 with respect to the front wall 22 of the inner box 2. Are connected (connected) to the middle in the width direction. Hereinafter, a section where the flap piece 25 and the front wall 22 in the inner box 2 are connected is referred to as a “connected section”, and is indicated by a symbol Zc in the drawing. The upper end of the front wall 22 and the front end of the flap piece 25 are connected over the connecting section Zc and are connected (joined) to each other, so that the connecting edge portion 7 is an edge common to the flap piece 25 and the front wall 22. Is formed.

  The flap piece 25 has a first flap piece 25a and a second flap piece 25b. The second flap piece 25b is overlapped (stacked) on and bonded to the upper surface (outer surface) of the first flap piece 25a. In FIG. 1, the part covered with the 2nd flap piece 25b among the 1st flap pieces 25a is shown with the broken line. As illustrated, the horizontal projected area of the first flap piece 25a is larger than that of the second flap piece 25b, and the outer shape of the flap piece 25 is substantially defined by the first flap piece 25a. The second flap piece 25b extends from the upper edge of the front wall 22 at the hinge side end of the inner box 2 and is folded toward the open end of the inner box 2 with a fold line 28 formed along the upper edge. It is. In other words, the second flap piece 25b is a flap piece that extends from the connecting edge portion 7 of the front wall 22 as a base end, and is folded (folded back) from the connecting edge portion 7 to the first flap piece 25a side. It overlaps with the outer surface (upper surface) of one flap piece 25a. And the 2nd flap piece 25b is being fixed to the 1st flap piece 25a integrally by sticking to the 1st flap piece 25a with an adhesive material.

  Next, the detailed configuration of the outer lid 3 will be described. A front wall portion 31 connected to the inner box 2 via a hinge 4 and a side wall portion 32 erected perpendicularly to the front wall portion 31 from an end of the front wall portion 31 opposite to the hinge 4. And an upper surface wall portion 33 connected orthogonally to the upper ends of the front wall portion 31 and the side wall portion 32 and a lower surface wall portion 34 connected orthogonally to the lower ends of the front wall portion 31 and the side wall portions 32, respectively. And having.

  The outer lid 3 configured as described above can freely open and close the take-out port 26 of the inner box 2. FIG. 3 is a top view of the package 1 in a state where the outer lid 3 is opened. FIG. 4 is a top view of the package 1 in a state where the outer lid 3 is closed. FIG. 3 corresponds to the state shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 corresponds to the state shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, when the outer lid 3 is closed, the take-out port 26 of the inner box 2 is blocked by the upper surface wall portion 33 and the front wall portion 31 of the outer lid 3. Further, when the outer lid 3 is closed, the front wall portion 31, the side wall portion 32, the upper surface wall portion 33, and the lower surface wall portion 34 of the outer lid 3 respectively correspond to the corresponding front wall 22 on the inner box 2 side, The side wall 23 </ b> B, the flap piece 25, and the bottom wall 24 are arranged at positions facing each other.

  As shown in FIG.1 and FIG.3, the upper surface wall part 33 of the outer cover 3 has a substantially trapezoid shape. The upper surface wall portion 33 includes an end portion on the hinge 4 side (hereinafter referred to as “hinge side end portion”) 33a, and a region from the hinge side end portion 33a to a predetermined predetermined section in the width direction of the upper surface wall portion 33. This is referred to as “hinge proximal region 33b”. It can be said that the hinge proximal region 33b is a region located relatively proximal from the hinge side end portion 33a. In addition, a region of the upper surface wall portion 33 that is located farther from the hinge 4 (hinge side end portion 33a) than the hinge proximal region 33b is referred to as a “hinge distal region 33c”.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the hinge distal region 33c in the top wall 33 has a generally rectangular shape, and the hinge proximal region 33b has a triangular shape. And as for the upper surface wall part 33, the depth dimension of the hinge proximal region 33b is formed smaller than the hinge distal region 33c. More specifically, the hinge proximal region 33b of the upper surface wall 33 is formed such that the depth dimension becomes smaller as the portion closer to (closer to) the hinge side end portion 33a. Moreover, the depth dimension in the hinge side edge part 33a among the upper surface wall parts 33 is substantially zero. As a result, the edge on the free end side in the hinge proximal region 33b (the edge opposite to the front wall portion 31 and hereinafter referred to as “free end side edge”) is the front surface at the hinge side end 33a. It is substantially in contact with the wall portion 31. And the free end side edge part of the hinge proximal region 33b in the upper surface wall part 33 has a projecting dimension (depth direction) that is larger from the front wall part 31 as it is separated from the hinge side end part 33a in the width direction.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the depth dimension of the first flap piece 25a changes in three stages along the width direction of the inner box 2. When the first flap piece 25a is divided into the first area 251, the second area 252, and the third area 253 from the hinge 4 side, the first area 251 is an area corresponding to the connecting section Zc, and the depth dimension thereof is the inner box. It corresponds to the depth dimension of 2. That is, the first region 251 in the first flap piece 25 a covers the open end of the inner box 2 from the front wall 22 to the rear wall 21. Thereby, the movement of the flap piece 25 can be suppressed, and it can suppress more reliably that the flap piece 25 interferes with the outer cover 3 and the to-be-contained object. The second region 252 in the first flap piece 25a is a region sandwiched between the first region 251 and the third region 253, and the depth dimension gradually decreases as the distance from the hinge 4 increases. The second region 252 has a minimum depth dimension at the boundary with the third region 253. The third region 253 is arranged on the end side opposite to the hinge 4 in the inner box 2, and has a certain depth dimension regardless of the distance from the hinge 4.

  Further, the side wall portion 32 of the outer lid 3 is formed with a clue portion 35 as a substantially semicircular recess. The clue part 35 is provided to assist the opening operation of the consumer (the person who handles the package 1) by placing a finger when opening the outer lid 3. In addition, as a position which arrange | positions the clue part 35 in the side wall part 32, it is preferable to avoid the vicinity of the center of the height direction of the side wall part 32, and to provide in the position which approached either the upper part or the lower part. In the package 1 in the present embodiment, the clue part 35 is arranged at a height slightly lower than the center of the side wall part 32. This is to prevent the opening tape and the clue part 35 from interfering with each other when a sealing film opening tape (not shown) for sealing the package 1 is provided near the center of the height of the package 1. Moreover, the edge part 36 which makes the boundary of the front wall part 31 and the side wall part 32 in the outer cover 3 is formed as a round edge (round corner) which has a round shape (round shape).

  Further, the package 1 includes a slit animation section 7 (slit) including a film gauge 71 provided on the front wall 22 of the inner box 2 and a sketch display sheet 72 that is superimposed under the film gauge 71 and displays a sketch. Animation means). The slit animation unit 7 uses the sketch displayed on the sketch display sheet 72 and the film gauge 71 to be as if the picture is moving on the principle similar to flip-book (video is moving). It has the function of giving a visual effect (as occurs).

  FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the film gauge 71 and the background display sheet 72. The film gauge 71 is obtained by printing “black elongated strips” on a transparent substrate such as a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film at a predetermined interval, in this example, an equal interval “X”. In the illustrated film gauge 71, the “width of the belt-like regions” and the “interval between the belt-like regions” are both equal to “X”. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a gauge window hole 22 a for placing a film gauge 71 is formed in the front wall 22 of the inner box 2 so as to close the gauge window hole 22 a of the front wall 22. The film gauge 71 is attached to the front wall 22 (the edge of the gauge window hole 22a). In the present embodiment, the gauge window hole 22a is formed in a rectangular shape, but may have another shape. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the film gauge 71 is installed so that the extending direction of the band-like region (lattice) in the film gauge 71 is parallel to the vertical direction (height direction) of the front wall 22 in the inner box 2. Has been.

  The sketch display sheet 72 has a substantially rectangular shape, and a sketch 72a composed of a composite image is displayed by printing or the like. The sketch display sheet 72 is disposed on the inner space 2 of the inner pack 6 (cigarette 61) in the inner box 2 so that the display area of the sketch 72a overlaps the film gauge 71. Specifically, the background display sheet 72 is disposed between the outer surface of the inner pack 6 and the film gauge 71 so that the background 72a of the background display sheet 72 faces the film gauge 71 side. .

  The sketch 72a displayed on the sketch display sheet 72 is composed of the composite image as described above. This composite image is, for example, an image obtained by combining a plurality of intermediate images obtained by repeating “afterimage” and “missing” by thinning out an image having a certain form as a motif at a predetermined interval. FIG. 5 shows an example in which a composite image is created by combining a first intermediate image with a star-shaped motif and a second intermediate image with a circular motif. Here, the first intermediate image and the second intermediate image are thinned out at equal intervals “X”. Then, when the first intermediate image and the second intermediate image are combined, the “afterimage” portion of the second intermediate image matches the “missing” portion of the first intermediate image, A composite image is formed.

  When the film gauge 71 is overlaid on the composite image of the sketch 72a and the sketch display sheet 72 and the film gauge 71 are slid relative to each other, as shown in FIG. 5, the “afterimage” of the first intermediate image becomes the film gauge. When located in a transparent region provided between the belt-like regions 71, a pattern represented by the first intermediate image, that is, a star pattern is visually recognized (A in FIG. 5). On the other hand, when the “afterimage” of the second intermediate image is located in a transparent region provided between the belt-like regions of the film gauge 71, a pattern represented by the second intermediate image, that is, a circular pattern is visually recognized (in FIG. 5). , B).

  When the relative slide operation between the sketch display sheet 72 and the film gauge 71 is performed at an appropriate speed, it is visually recognized by human eyes as if the star pattern and the circular pattern are dynamically changing. Therefore, a visual effect that produces a moving image is obtained. Note that the technology itself related to the slit animation is well known, and detailed description thereof is omitted here, but the number of intermediate images incorporated in the composite image can be three or more.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the front wall 22 of the inner box 2 is elongated between the gauge window hole 22 a and the hinge 4 along the vertical direction of the front wall 22 (that is, the extending direction of the hinge 4). A rectangular slit opening 22b is formed. The opening dimension in the longitudinal direction of the slit opening 22 b is slightly narrower than the opening dimension of the gauge window hole 22 a in the height direction of the front wall 22. More specifically, the lower end position of the slit opening 22b is substantially equal to the lower end position of the gauge window hole 22a. The upper end position of the slit opening 22b is arranged at a position slightly lower than the upper end position of the gauge window hole 22a. In the present embodiment, a slit opening 22 b is disposed at the hinge side end of the front wall 22.

  Further, the height dimension at one end of the sketch display sheet 72 is narrower than the opening dimension in the longitudinal direction of the slit opening 22b, and the end of the sketch display sheet 72 is inserted into the slit opening 22b. ing. As a result, the background display sheet 72 leaves the most part including the area where the background 72 a is displayed inside the inner box 2, while the end region exposed to the outside through the slit opening 22 b is the front wall of the outer lid 3. It is bonded and fixed to the inner surface of the portion 31.

  Here, in the sketch display sheet 72, an end region bonded and fixed to the inner surface of the front wall portion 31 is referred to as a “fixed end region 72b”. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the fixed end region 72 b in the sketch display sheet 72 is fixed at a position close to the hinge 4 in the front wall portion 31. In this way, by fixing one end of the sketch display sheet 72 to the front wall portion 31 of the outer lid 3, when the outer lid 3 is opened from the closed state, it is interlocked with the opening operation of the outer lid 3. The sketch display sheet 72 is pulled out from the slit opening 22b by a predetermined amount. On the contrary, when the outer lid 3 is closed from the opened state, the sketch display sheet 72 is drawn into the slit opening 22b by a predetermined amount in conjunction with the closing operation of the outer lid 3. That is, the package 1 in the present embodiment is configured such that the background display sheet 72 and the film gauge 71 slide relative to each other in conjunction with the opening / closing operation of the outer lid 3. In this way, each time the operator opens and closes the outer lid 3, the sketch display sheet 72 and the film gauge 71 can be slid relative to each other in conjunction with the opening and closing operation, which will be described with reference to FIG. A visual effect that produces a slit animation is obtained. Therefore, added value can be given to the package 1 and the consumer's willingness to purchase can be promoted.

[blank]
Next, a package blank constituting the package 1 will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the first blank B1, and FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the second blank B2. The first blank B1 is a sheet material that forms the inner box 2 by being folded (assembled). The second blank B2 is a sheet material that forms the outer lid 3 by being folded (assembled). That is, it can be said that the first blank B1 and the second blank B2 are sheet materials obtained by developing the inner box 2 and the outer lid 3, respectively. And the package 1 shown in FIG. 1 is shape | molded by folding 1st blank B1 and 2nd blank B2, and adhere | attaching an appropriate place. The first blank B1 and the second blank B2 can be made of a paper material such as card paper or Manila cardboard, or a resin such as a plastic sheet, but is not limited thereto. In the description of the blank in FIGS. 6 and 7, the description will be made with reference to the vertical and horizontal directions of the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the first blank B1 has a rear wall panel P1 that becomes the rear wall 21 of the inner box 2, and side walls 23A and 23B of the inner box 2 are formed on both side edges of the rear wall panel P1. The inner side panels P2A and P2B are connected through a folding line. In addition, a first top panel P3 serving as the first flap piece 25a of the flap piece 25 is connected to the lower end edge of the rear wall panel P1 via a folding line. Moreover, the bottom wall panel P4 used as the bottom wall 24 of the inner box 2 is continued to the upper end edge of the rear wall panel P1 via the folding line. Reinforcing panels P5A and P5B, which are bonded to the first top panel P3 for reinforcement, are connected to the lower end edges of the inner side panels P2A and P2B via folding lines. Further, reinforcing panels P6A and P6B, which are bonded to the bottom wall panel P4 for reinforcement, are connected to the upper end edges of the inner side panels P2A and P2B through folding lines.

  In addition, a front wall panel P7 which is the front wall 22 of the inner box 2 is connected to the upper end edge of the bottom wall panel P4 via a folding line. The front wall panel P7 is formed with openings that become gauge window holes 22a and slit openings 22b. Further, side wall panels P8A and P8B which become the side walls 23A and 23B of the inner box 2 are connected to both side edges of the front wall panel P7 through folding lines. A plurality of folding lines are arranged at a short pitch between the front wall panel P7 and the side wall panel P8B, thereby forming an edge 5 having a round shape. Moreover, the 2nd top panel P9 used as the 2nd flap piece 25b of the flap piece 25 is continued to the upper end edge of the front wall panel P7 via the folding line. In addition, the round shape which the edge part 5 exhibits may be formed of several pressure lines instead of several folding lines.

  Next, 2nd blank B2 shown in FIG. 7 has the front cover panel P10 used as the front wall part 31 of the outer cover 3. As shown in FIG. And the side cover panel P11 used as the side wall part 32 is continued to the one side edge in the front cover panel P10 via the folding line. A plurality of folding lines are arranged at a short pitch between the front cover panel P10 and the side cover panel P11, and an edge portion 36 having a round shape is thereby formed. Moreover, the inner side panel P12 used as the side wall part 32 of the outer cover 3 is continued through the folding line to the side edge on the opposite side to the front cover panel P10 among the side cover panels P11. The inner side panel P12 is folded back with respect to the side cover panel P11, and both are overlapped with each other. The inner side panel P12 reinforces the side cover panel P11 and serves as an inner wall of the side wall portion 32. And the inner side panel P12 forms the side wall part 32 of the outer cover 3 with the side cover panel P11. The inner side panel P12 folded back with respect to the side cover panel P11 may or may not be bonded to the side cover panel P11. When the inner side panel P12 is not bonded to the side lid panel P11 but is simply folded and overlapped, the inner side panel P12 is moved inwardly of the outer lid 3 by the repulsive force of the folding (the inner side panel P12 is the side lid panel). It tries to spread in the direction away from P11). According to this, after the assembly of the package 1, the inner side panel P12 is pressed against the inner box 2 when the outer lid 3 is closed, thereby generating a high frictional force between the inner side panel P12 and the inner box 2. Can be made. As a result, it is possible to suppress the opening of the outer lid 3 not intended by the handler. Note that a clue portion 35 is formed in the side cover panel P11 and the inner side panel P12. Reinforcing panels P13 and P14 are connected to the upper edge and the lower edge of the side cover panel P11 through folding lines, which will be described later.

  On the upper end edge of the front cover panel P10, an upper surface cover panel P15 serving as the upper surface wall portion 33 and an inner top panel P16 are sequentially connected via a folding line. In addition, a lower surface lid panel P17 and an inner bottom panel P18, which serve as the lower surface wall portion 34, are successively connected to the lower end edge of the front surface lid panel P10 via folding lines. In addition, a side wall panel P19 and a rear wall panel P20 are successively connected via a folding line to an edge of the front lid panel P10 opposite to the side lid panel P11.

  The inner top panel P16 is folded back with respect to the top cover panel P15, and both are overlapped with each other. The inner top panel P16 reinforces the upper surface cover panel P15 and serves as an inner wall of the upper surface wall portion 33. Here, the reinforcing panel P13 is bonded to both panels while being sandwiched between the top cover panel P15 and the inner top panel P16. Further, the reinforcing panel P14 is bonded to both panels in a state of being sandwiched between the bottom cover panel P17 and the inner bottom panel P18. The side wall panel P19 is bonded to the outer surface of the side wall panel P8A of the first blank B1, thereby forming the outer wall surface of the side wall 23A of the inner box 2. Moreover, the rear wall panel P20 forms an outer wall surface of the rear wall 21 of the inner box 2 by being bonded to the outer surface of the rear wall panel P1 of the first blank B1.

  1st blank B1 and 2nd blank B2 comprised as mentioned above are each folded in the folding line shown by the broken line in FIG.6 and FIG.7. And in 1st blank B1, reinforcement panel P6A, P6B is piled up on bottom wall panel P4. The inner side panels P2A and P2B are bonded to the inner surface sides of the side wall panels P8A and P8B, respectively. Further, the reinforcing panels P5A and P5B are bonded to the inner surface side of the first top panel P3, the second top panel P9 is overlapped to the outer surface side of the first top panel P3, and both are bonded. The first blank B1 is folded in a state in which the separately prepared inner pack 6 is placed on, for example, the rear wall panel P1. At that time, a sketch display sheet 72 may be placed on the inner pack 6. When the first blank B1 is folded, a separately prepared film gauge 71 is adhered to the edge of the gauge window hole 22a opened in the front wall panel P7.

  Further, when the second blank B2 is folded, as described above, the reinforcing panel P13 is adhered to both panels in a state of being sandwiched between the top cover panel P15 and the inner top panel P16, and the reinforcing panel P14 is The outer lid 3 is formed by being adhered to both panels while being sandwiched between the lower surface lid panel P17 and the inner bottom panel P18. Further, the outer lid 3 and the inner box 2 are integrated by bonding the side wall panel P19 and the rear wall panel P20 to the outer surface of the side wall panel P8A of the first blank B1 and the outer surface of the rear wall panel P1 as described above. . And the edge part of the sketch display sheet 72 which penetrated the slit opening 22b in the front wall panel P7 of 1st blank B1 is adhere | attached on the inner surface in front cover panel P10 of 2nd blank B2. Thereby, the slit animation part 7 is formed and the assembly of the package 1 is completed.

[Effect]
Next, the operation contents and effects when the package 1 is opened and closed will be described. In the package 1 according to the present embodiment, as described above, the flap piece 25 composed of the first flap piece 25a and the second flap piece 25b leaves a part of the opening end of the inner box 2 as the take-out port 26, and the remaining part. It is blocking. By installing the flap piece 25 in the inner box 2, it is possible to prevent the cigarette (winding) 61 from being protected and the tobacco from being scattered.

  Since the package 1 is a side open type (lateral opening type) package, the hinge 4 is extended and arranged in a direction orthogonal to the planar direction of the flap piece 25 in the inner box 2. On the other hand, the upper surface wall portion 33 of the outer lid 3 is disposed in parallel with the flap piece 25 of the inner box 2 and gradually approaches the flap piece 25 when the outer lid 3 is closed. Then, the upper wall portion 33 of the outer lid 3 slides while partially overlapping the flap piece 25 of the inner box 2, and finally covers the entire outlet 26 to complete the closing operation of the outer lid 3. To do.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a conventional side open package 1A. In the conventional package 1A, the front side of the opening end of the inner box 2A is left as the takeout port 26A, and the remaining rear side is covered with the flap piece 25A. The outer lid 3A is pivotally connected to the inner box 2A via a hinge 4A formed along an edge that forms a boundary between the rear wall and the side wall of the inner box 2A. In such a conventional package 1A, when the outer lid 3A is closed, the edge portion on the free end side of the upper surface wall portion 33A easily interferes with the flap piece 25A and the inner packaging material 62A that wraps the cigarette. As a result, in the conventional package 1A, the flap piece 25A and the inner packaging material 62A are bent or damaged due to interference with the upper surface wall portion 33A of the outer lid 2A, and the appearance is likely to deteriorate. In addition, the end of the inner packaging material 62A folded by the collision with the upper surface wall portion 33A may be sandwiched between the upper surface wall portion 33A and the flap piece 25A, and the opening and closing of the outer lid 2A is repeatedly performed. This also causes the inner packaging material 62A to be broken.

  On the other hand, in the package 1 according to the present embodiment, the section from the end of the inner box 2 on the hinge 4 side to the middle position in the width direction of the inner box 2 is defined as the connecting section Zc, and the flap piece 25 is used as the front wall 22. It was connected to the top of the. According to this, the upper part of the inner pack 6 (the cigarette 61 and the inner packaging material 62) accommodated in the inner box 2 is covered with the flap piece 25 in the connecting section Zc in the width direction of the inner box 2. For this reason, interference (collision, contact) between the upper surface wall 33 on the outer lid 3 side and the inner pack 6 is suppressed. That is, it is possible to prevent the inner packaging material 62 in the inner pack 6 from being bent or torn when the inner packaging material 62 is sandwiched between the upper surface wall portion 33 and the flap piece 25.

  Further, in the connecting section Zc, since the upper surface wall portion 33 of the outer lid 3 does not sink under the flap piece 25, it is possible to avoid the flap piece 25 from being bent. As described above, according to the package 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the inner pack 6 and the flap piece 25 from being damaged and the appearance of the package from being damaged.

  In particular, in the side open type package 1, the outer lid 3 is opened and closed around the hinge 4 extending in the height (up and down) direction of the package. Therefore, when the outer lid 3 is closed, the region closer to the hinge 4 is closer. The upper surface wall 33 of the outer lid 3 approaches the inner pack 6 (cigarette 61 and inner packaging material 62) accommodated in the inner box 2 at a steep angle.

  On the other hand, according to the package 1 according to the present embodiment, the inner pack 6 is connected to the front wall 22 and the flap piece 25 in the region adjacent to the hinge 4 in the inner box 2. Covered by the flap piece 25. Thereby, when the outer lid 3 is closed, even if the upper surface wall portion 33 approaches the inner pack 6 at a steep angle, the upper surface wall portion 33 does not collide with the inner pack 6. Can be suitably suppressed.

  Furthermore, in the package 1, the flap piece 25 which covers a part of the opening end in the inner box 2 is configured as a laminated structure of the first flap piece 25a and the second flap piece 25b. Then, in the connecting section Zc of the inner box 2, the second flap piece 25b is extended from the upper end edge of the front wall 22 and folded to the open end side with a fold line 28 formed along the upper end edge as a boundary. The second flap piece 25b is bonded and fixed to the upper surface of the first flap piece 25a.

  According to this, in the connection zone Zc of the inner box 2, it arrange | positions so that the 2nd flap piece 25b connected from the front wall 22 side of the inner box 2 to the opening end side may wrap around. As a result, there are no gaps, recesses, etc. at the joint between the flap piece 25 and the front wall 22 so that the tip of the upper surface wall 33 is caught when the outer lid 3 is closed. It can suppress more reliably that the flap piece 25 bends or breaks by interference with 33. FIG.

  Further, in the package 1 according to the present embodiment, the depth dimension of the vicinity of the hinge 4 in the upper surface wall portion 33 of the outer lid 3 is reduced. That is, the depth dimension (protrusion dimension from the front wall part 31) of the hinge proximal area 33b in the upper surface wall part 33 is made smaller than that of the hinge distal area 33c. According to this, interference with the hinge proximal region 33b in the upper surface wall part 33 and the flap piece 25 and the inner pack 6 in the inner box 2 can be made difficult to occur. Therefore, damage to the flap piece 25 and the inner pack 6 of the inner box 2 can be suitably suppressed, and damage to the external appearance of the package 1 can be avoided.

  On the other hand, as for the hinge distal region 33c in the upper surface wall 33, the interference between the upper surface wall 33 and the flap piece 25 or the inner pack 6 is relatively greater when the outer lid 3 is closed compared to the hinge proximal region 33b. It's hard to happen. For this reason, about the hinge distal area | region 33c in the upper surface wall part 33, even if it makes depth dimension large compared with the hinge proximal area | region 33b, interference with the upper surface wall part 33, the flap piece 25 grade | etc., Is hard to be revealed. And in the hinge distal region 33c of the upper surface wall 33, the depth opening of the outlet 26 formed in the region corresponding to the hinge distal region 33c is made larger than the depth of the hinge proximal region 33b. A sufficient width can be secured. Thereby, it becomes possible to contribute to the improvement of the ease of taking out the cigarette 61 through the takeout port 26.

  Further, in the package 1 of the present embodiment, the depth dimension in the hinge proximal region 33b of the upper surface wall portion 33 is made smaller as it approaches the hinge side end portion 33a. That is, the hinge proximal region 33b of the upper surface wall portion 33 is cut obliquely, and the edge portion on the free end side of the upper surface wall portion 33 is formed as an inclined edge portion. As described above, the depth dimension of the hinge proximal region 33b in the upper surface wall 33 is gradually reduced as it approaches the hinge side end 33a, so that the hinge proximal region 33b in the upper wall 33 and the inner box 2 Interference with the flap piece 25 and the inner pack 6 can be preferably avoided.

  Furthermore, according to the above configuration, since the free end side edge portion of the upper wall portion 33 in the hinge proximal region 33b is formed as an inclined edge portion, the free end side edge portion is sharply formed in the middle of the hinge proximal region 33b. No step is formed. Thereby, when the outer lid 3 is closed, the free end side edge portion of the upper surface wall portion 33 is not easily caught by the flap piece 25, the inner pack 6 or the like. On the other hand, in the hinge proximal region 33b in the upper surface wall 33, the depth dimension is gradually increased as the distance from the hinge side end portion is increased, so that the depth opening width of the extraction port 26 in the region distal from the hinge 4 is sufficiently large. Can be secured. For this reason, there exists an advantage that the ease of taking out of the cigarette 61 through the taking-out opening 26 can be improved suitably within the range which can avoid the interference with the flap piece 25 of the inner box and the inner pack 6.

  Further, according to the package 1 of the present embodiment, since the depth dimension of the hinge side end portion 33a in the upper surface wall portion 33 is substantially zero, the hinge side of the upper surface wall portion 33 is closed when the outer lid 3 is closed. It can suppress more reliably that the flap piece 25, the inner packaging material 62, etc. receive damage with the edge part 33a.

  Further, in the package 1 according to the present embodiment, the outer lid 3 is connected to the inner box 2 via the hinge 4 formed along the edge portion that forms the boundary between the front wall 22 and the side wall 23 </ b> A in the inner box 2. did. According to this, when the outer lid 3 is closed, the side end of the front wall portion 31 that covers the front wall 22 of the inner box 2 can be directly hinged to the inner box 2. Therefore, compared with the case where the outer lid 3 is hinge-connected to the edge portion that forms the boundary between the rear wall 21 and the side wall 23A in the inner box 2, when the outer lid 3 is closed, the hinge proximal region 33b of the upper wall portion 33 is closed. Can be made to approach the inner box 2 (the flap piece 25, the inner packaging material 62, etc.) at a gentle angle. As a result, when the outer lid 3 is closed, the upper surface wall portion 33 becomes more difficult to interfere with the flap piece 25 and the inner packaging material 62, and the inner packaging material 62 is further wound between the upper surface wall portion 33 and the flap piece 25. Can be difficult. Further, by forming the hinge 4 on the front wall 22 side, the rigidity of the outer lid 3 (and hence the package 1) is low when the depth dimension of the hinge side end portion 33a in the upper surface wall portion 33 is substantially zero. Can be suppressed.

  As described above, according to the package 1 according to the present embodiment, when the outer lid 3 is closed, the outer lid 3 is prevented from interfering with an object to be accommodated, a flap piece, and the like. It is possible to prevent the flap piece from being damaged or the appearance from being damaged. In the present embodiment, a section from the end of the inner box 2 on the hinge 4 side to a middle position in the width direction of the inner box 2 is defined as a connecting section Zc so that the flap piece 25 is connected to the upper end of the front wall 22. However, the setting range of the connection section Zc is not limited to the example of the above embodiment. The flap piece 25 should just be connected so that it may continue with the front wall 22 in the at least one part connection area in the width direction of the inner box 2. As shown in FIG. In this way, when the outer lid 3 is closed by connecting the flap piece 25 to the front wall 22 in at least a part of the section of the inner box 2 in the width direction, the upper surface wall portion 33 of the outer lid 3 is flapped. The effect which suppresses entering into the lower side of the piece 25 (accommodation space side of the to-be-contained object) or colliding with the flap piece 25 is acquired. As a result, it is possible to prevent damage to the target object of the package 1 and the flap piece 25 and to impair the appearance of the package 1.

  The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but appropriate modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Moreover, although embodiment mentioned above demonstrated the case where tobacco goods, such as a filter cigarette and a double-cut cigarette, were accommodated in a package as a suitable application example of the to-be-contained object accommodated in the package 1, it is not limited to this. For example, articles such as confectionery and gum may be accommodated in the package 1.
