Description

  The present invention relates to a cigarette box. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cigarette box having a structure that lifts up a cigarette row in a stepped manner in order to easily take out cigarettes (cigarettes) accommodated therein.

  Such a cigarette box is provided with a lid via a hinge provided at the upper edge of the box body (box body portion). Therefore, when taking out the cigarette, the lid is opened and one is taken out from the inside. However, in a state where cigarettes are fully packed, particularly immediately after opening, it is difficult to take out one of them. If this is forcibly taken out, there will be inconveniences such as crushing the suction port (filter) or unnecessarily touching the cigarette filter around the one to be taken out.

  As described above, for example, Patent Document 1 has proposed that one cigarette be taken out from a packed cigarette box. This Patent Document 1 discloses a structure for pulling up a cigarette. In this structure, a part of the packaging material for wrapping the cigarette is adhered to the bottom wall of the box body, and the “knob tab (42)” formed at one end is pinched and pulled. This makes it easy to take out the cigarette on the front row side by pushing up the part that has not been bonded (raising the bottom) and pushing up the cigarette on the front row relative to the other cigarettes.

JP H02-19245

However, in the cigarette box according to Patent Document 1, when the lid is opened, the cigarette remains in a flat state as in the previous cigarette box. After opening the lid, pulling the “knob tab” as described above raises some cigarettes.
Thus, the cigarette box according to Patent Document 1 requires a two-stage operation of further pulling the tab after opening the lid. In addition, since the packaging material is a thin paper material, it is expected to be damaged if it is pulled beyond the allowable force. Conversely, if the pulling force is too weak, the lift-up amount of the cigarette is small or the cigarette is Inconvenience such as going back is also expected.

  The present invention has been made in view of the situation as described above, and its purpose is that the user simply opens the lid, and when the lid is opened, the inner row of cigarettes is lifted up stepwise. The present invention is to provide a cigarette box which is in a state and can easily take out one cigarette.

Hereinafter, a cigarette according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 and 2 show the cigarette box CB-1 according to the first embodiment, FIG. 1 is a side view showing a state when the lid is closed, and FIG. 2 shows a state when the lid is opened. It is a side view.

  1 and 2, the cigarette box CB-1 includes a box body 10 and a lid 20 that is rotatably provided via a hinge 11 provided on the upper end (one side) thereof. More specifically, the cigarette box CB-1 has a front wall 12, a back wall 13, and left and right side walls 14R and 14L positioned between the left and right sides (in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the inner cigarette CR can be confirmed. Therefore, a peripheral wall is formed by (not shown), and the bottom side below it is closed by the bottom wall 15. The upper side is open, the upper end of the back wall 13 becomes the hinge 11, and the lid 20 opens and closes at the upper edge of the box body 10.

The cigarette box CB-1 is provided with a mechanism for lifting up a plurality of cigarettes CR housed in the box body 10. A configuration for realizing this mechanism will be described in order below.
First, the entire bundle of cigarettes CR is wrapped with a sheet-like inner packaging material 16 to form an inner pack PC. Conventionally, the inner packaging material 16 may be the same as the material that wraps the cigarette, and for example, a sheet material in which paper and metal foil are laminated can be suitably used.
However, the inner packaging material 16 employed in the cigarette box CB-1 is disposed in a continuous form along the inner surfaces of the front wall 12, the bottom wall 15, and the back wall 13, respectively. More specifically, the inner packaging material 16 has front and rear surfaces 16-1 and 16-2 that respectively cover the front and rear of the cigarette bundle, and a single bottom surface 16-3 that covers the lower end surface of the cigarette bundle. And the upper part becomes the closed surface (surface which folded the edge part of the inner packaging material and closed) 16-4 formed by folding and closing the upper end surface of a cigarette bundle so that opening was possible.

Incidentally, the present cigarette box CB-1 is characterized in that a configuration for easily pulling out one cigarette CR is provided when the cigarette CR is fully packed immediately after opening. Therefore, FIG. 1 shows the side surface in a state where the cigarette CR is clogged.
Therefore, when viewed from the side, the inner packaging material 16 is arranged in a U shape along the outside of the bundle of cigarettes CR in a clogged state. The end of the inner packaging material 16 is set to be long so that it can be folded as described above, and the opening portion of the cigarette CR (here, the filter FL) is used as the inner packaging material before the cigarette box CB-1 is opened. The above-described closing surface 16-4 is formed in a state of being wrapped by the flaps (tip side flap portion 16a and end side flap portion 16b) folded at the end of 16.

Note that both side portions of the inner packaging material 16 in the width direction (perpendicular to the paper surface in FIG. 1) are formed wider than the bundle of cigarettes CR, and folding the extra length as a folding allowance of the cigarette CR. The bundle is also wrapped from the side, and eventually, the state where the entire cigarette CR is covered with the inner packaging material 16 is formed.
In addition, the cigarette box CB-1 of FIGS. 1 and 2 has, for example, 20 cigarettes CR stored therein, and the first row along the front wall has seven in RW-1, facing the back wall. There are six rows in the second row RW-2 and seven rows in the third row RW-3.

A part of the inner packaging material 16 facing the bottom wall 15 is fixed to the bottom wall 15 in the vicinity of the boundary line BL-1 between the front wall 12 and the bottom wall 15. More specifically, a part of the inner packaging material 16 is linearly fixed on the bottom wall 15 along the boundary line BL-1 to form a fixed portion FP-1. The fixing portion FP-1 may be one in which a part of the inner packaging material 16 is bonded and fixed to the bottom wall 15 using an adhesive or the like used for assembling the box body 10.
When such a fixing portion FP-1 is provided and the inner packaging material 16 is pulled up along the back wall 13 on the side opposite to the fixing portion FP-1, the bottom surface 16 of the inner packaging material 16 facing the bottom wall 15 is provided. -3 is inclined toward the upper right with the fixed portion FP-1 as the base point (center).

  As described above, the fixed portion FP-1 is arranged in a linear shape (either a solid line shape or a dotted line shape) along the boundary line BL-1. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 2, the state which lifts up cigarette CR for every row | line | column can be formed. Here, it is not preferable to set the line width of the fixed portion FP-1 unnecessarily wide (for example, a width exceeding the radius of the cigarette CR). If the width of the fixing portion FP-1 is too wide, the region of the inclined inner packaging material 16 is reduced, and it becomes difficult to lift up in a stepwise manner for each row. From this point, it is preferable that the line width of the fixed portion FP-1 is about 2 to 6 mm, or 75% or less of the diameter of the cigarette CR to be stored.

  Moreover, in this cigarette box CB-1, the inner frame 30 mentioned later which is attached to the inner side of the box body 10, has higher rigidity than the inner packaging material 16, and reinforces the box body 10 from the inner side is provided.

  Furthermore, a pulling mechanism for pulling up the inner packaging material 16 will be described. When the lid 20 is opened, this pulling mechanism is along the back wall 13 on the opposite side of the fixed portion FP-1 with respect to the central axis (the axis extending in the vertical direction) of the cigarette box CB-1. The inner packaging material 16 is pulled up. As a result, the inner packaging material 16 on the bottom surface 16-3 that has been in contact with the bottom wall 15 as described above is inclined with respect to the fixed portion FP-1 as shown in FIG. 2, so that the cigarette rows RW-1, RW -2 and RW-3 can be lifted up stepwise.

  The lifting mechanism illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 has one end portion of the inner packaging material 16 extending from the back wall 13 to the lid 20, and the tip end portion (terminal side flap portion 16 b) is the lid 20. The inner surface 20a is fixed (coupled) with an adhesive portion 21. The end side flap portion 16b functions as a first operation element (Claim 1) that reciprocates as the lid 20 opens and closes. Therefore, when the lid 20 is closed and the lid 20 is opened as shown in FIG. 2, assuming that the inner packaging material 16 arranged in a U-shape as described above is not bent (FIG. 1), the inner packaging material 16 is opened. The inner packaging material 16 is pulled based on the opening operation of the lid 20. That is, the operation of opening the lid 20 is linked to the operation of pulling up the inner packaging material 16. As a result, since the inner packaging material 16 that has been in contact with the bottom wall 15 is inclined with the fixed portion FP-1 as the base point, it can be lifted up stepwise for each cigarette row. Furthermore, with reference to FIG. 3, the raising mechanism which cigarette box CB-1 has is demonstrated in detail.

  FIG. 3 is an external perspective view showing a state when the cigarette box CB-1 is opened and the lid 20 is first opened. The cigarette box CB-1 includes a pulling mechanism that interlocks with the opening operation of the lid 20. Therefore, the user only needs to perform the conventional operation of opening the lid 20, and does not need to perform an additional operation to take out the jammed cigarette. Moreover, since the movement amount of the inner packaging material 16 is based on the opening degree of the lid 20, the tension state of the inner packaging material 16 does not change and is stable. Once the lid 20 is opened, it is normally kept open unless it is forcibly closed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, since the cigarette is also lifted up stepwise for each row, it is sufficient to slowly take out one cigarette.

In particular, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the inner frame 30 is positioned on the front wall 12 side of the cigarette box CB-1 and is fixed so as to protrude from the upper end thereof.
On the other hand, in the cigarette box CB-1, a plate-like folded tacker 31 is disposed between the back wall 13 and the bundle of cigarettes CR. The folded tacker 31 is provided so as to protrude upward from the upper end of the box body 10 on the rear surface side of the inner pack PC. As described above, the end flap portion 16b, which is one end of the inner packaging material 16, is coupled to the inner surface 20a of the lid 20, but when pulled out from the box body 10, the upper edge 31a of the folded tacker 31 The rear surface 16-2 is folded back. That is, the rear surface 16-2 of the inner packaging material 16 has an improved structure (interlocking means) so as to be folded back in contact with the upper end 31a of the folded tacker 31 when being pulled up, and to increase the amount of lifting. If such a structure is employ | adopted, an inner packaging material can be reliably pulled up with the opening operation | movement of the lid | cover 20. FIG.
In this way, when the structure is in contact with the upper edge 31a of the folded tacker 31, the lift-up amount of the galette CR row (ie, the inclination angle α at the fixed portion) is appropriately set based on the height position of the upper edge 31a. Can be adjusted.
It should be noted that the outer blank for manufacturing the cigarette box CB-1 may be modified so that the box body 10 and the lid 20 and the folded tacker 31 are also formed from a single outer blank.

By the way, the conventional inner frame is for box reinforcement, and generally has a U-shaped cross section (top view shape) that supports the inner surfaces of the front wall and the left and right walls. On the other hand, in the cigarette box CB-1 according to the first embodiment, the above folded tacker 31 is preferably arranged so as to protrude from the back wall 13 on the rear surface side of the inner pack PC.
Therefore, in the cigarette box CR-1, as a more preferable structure, a structure functioning as a folding tacker is integrally connected to the rear side (back part) of a normal inner frame structure, and the inner pack PC cooperates with each other. A new inner frame is formed in a ring shape surrounding the outer periphery of the frame. That is, the inner frame 30 illustrated here is a ring-shaped inner sleeve having a folded tacker 31 on the back. Thereby, the height of the folding tacker 31 added to the back wall 13 can be adjusted and the lift-up amount can be adjusted appropriately while further strengthening the reinforcement of the cigarette box CR-1. That is, the height position of the upper edge of the folded tacker 31 may be determined according to the lift-up amount of the bottom surface of the inner packaging material.

  As described above, the cigarette CB-1 according to the first embodiment does not have to be troublesome for the user to pull out one from a jammed cigarette, and does not need to consider itself, and only performs a normal operation of opening the lid. Since the cigarettes in a clogged state are arranged in a step shape, one cigarette can be taken easily without any trouble.

Further, a cigarette box CB-2 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
4 and 5 are views showing the cigarette box CB-2 according to the second embodiment, FIG. 4 is a side view showing a state when the lid is closed, and FIG. 5 is a view when the lid is opened. It is a side view which shows the state.

  4 and 5, the cigarette box CB-2 includes a box body 40 and a lid 50 that is rotatably provided via a hinge 41 provided on the upper end (one side) thereof. More specifically, the cigarette box CB-2 has a front wall 42, a back wall 43, and left and right side walls 44R and 44L positioned between the left and right sides (in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the inner cigarette CR can be confirmed. Therefore, a peripheral wall is formed by (not shown), and the bottom side below it is closed by the bottom wall 45. The upper side is open, the upper end of the back wall 43 is a hinge 41, and the lid 50 opens and closes at the upper edge of the box body 40.

The cigarette box CB-2 is also provided with a mechanism for lifting up a plurality of cigarettes CR housed in the box body 40. A configuration for realizing this mechanism will be described in order below.
First, the entire bundle of cigarettes CR is wrapped with a sheet-like inner packaging material 46 to form an inner pack PC. Conventionally, the inner packaging material 46 may be the same as the material that wraps the cigarette. For example, a sheet material in which paper and metal foil are laminated can be suitably used.
However, the inner packaging material 46 employed in the cigarette box CB-2 is disposed in a continuous form along the inner surfaces of the front wall 42, the bottom wall 45, and the back wall 43. More specifically, the inner packaging material 46 has front and rear surfaces 46-1 and 46-2 that respectively cover the front and rear of the cigarette bundle, and a single bottom surface 46-3 that covers the lower end surface of the cigarette bundle. And the upper part is formed by folding and becomes a closed surface 46-4 that closes the upper end surface of the cigarette bundle so as to be openable (a surface closed by folding the end of the inner packaging material).

Incidentally, the present cigarette box CB-2 is characterized by providing a configuration for easily pulling out one cigarette CR when the cigarette CR is fully packed immediately after opening. Therefore, FIG. 4 shows the side surface in a state where the cigarette CR is clogged.
Therefore, when viewed from the side, the inner packaging material 46 is arranged in a U shape along the outside of the bundle of cigarettes CR in a clogged state. The end portion of the inner packaging material 46 is set to be long so that it can be folded as described above, and the opening portion of the cigarette CR (here, the filter FL) is used as the inner packaging material before the cigarette box CB-2 is opened. The closed surface 46-4 described above is formed in a state of being wrapped by the flaps (tip side flap part 46a and terminal side flap part 46b) folded at the end of 46.

Note that both side portions of the inner packaging material 46 in the width direction (perpendicular to the paper surface in FIG. 4) are formed wider than the bundle of cigarettes CR, and folding the extra length as a folding allowance of the cigarette CR. The bundle is also wrapped from the side, and eventually, the state in which the entire cigarette CR is covered with the inner packaging material 46 is formed.
In addition, the cigarette box CB-2 in FIGS. 4 and 5 has, for example, 20 cigarettes CR stored therein, and the first row along the front wall has seven in RW-1, facing the back wall. There are six rows in the second row RW-2 and seven rows in the third row RW-3.

A part of the inner packaging material 46 facing the bottom wall 45 is fixed to the bottom wall 45 in the vicinity of the boundary line BL-2 between the back wall 43 and the bottom wall 45. More specifically, a part of the inner packaging material 46 is linearly fixed on the bottom wall 45 along the boundary line BL-2 to form a fixed portion FP-2. The fixing portion FP-2 may be one in which a part of the inner packaging material 46 is bonded and fixed to the bottom wall 45 using an adhesive or the like used for assembling the box body 40.
When such a fixing portion FP-2 is provided and the inner packaging material 46 is pulled up along the front wall 42 on the opposite side of the fixing portion FP-21, the bottom surface 46 of the inner packaging material 46 facing the bottom wall 45. -3 is inclined toward the upper left with the fixed part FP-2 as the base point (center).

  As described above, the fixed portion FP-2 is arranged in a linear shape (either a solid line shape or a dotted line shape) along the boundary line BL-2. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 5, the state which lifts up cigarette CR for every row | line | column can be formed. Here, it is not preferable to set the line width of the fixed portion FP-2 unnecessarily wide (for example, a width exceeding the radius of the cigarette CR). If the width of the fixing portion FP-2 is too wide, the region of the inclined inner packaging material 46 is reduced, and it is difficult to lift up in a stepwise manner for each row. From this point, the line width of the fixed portion FP-2 is preferably about 2 to 6 mm or 75% or less of the diameter of the cigarette CR to be stored.

  And in this cigarette box CB-2, it has inner rigidity of the inner packaging material 46 inside the box body 40, the inner body mentioned later which guides the movement of the inner packaging material 46 while reinforcing the box body 40 from the inner side. A frame 60 is provided.

Further, a pulling mechanism for pulling up the inner packaging material 46 will be described. In the conventional cigarette box CB-2, the conventional inner frame has a U-shaped cross-sectional shape (as viewed from above) that generally supports the front wall and the inner surface of the wall for reinforcement. Divert.
The pulling mechanism here includes an inner frame 60 that can slide along the inner surface of the box body 40 in the ascending / descending direction (vertical direction in the figure). The inner frame 60 functions as a second operation element (claim 1).
In addition, an adhesive portion 60 a is provided as a connecting portion that connects the inner frame 60 and the front surface 46-1 of the inner packaging material 46 and brings up the front surface 46-1 as the inner frame 60 is pushed up. That is, a part of the inner packaging material 46 is fixed to the inner frame 60 by the adhesive portion 60 a inside the front wall 42. Therefore, the sliding operation of pushing up the inner frame 60 is linked to the operation of pulling up the inner packaging material 46.
When the inner frame 60 is slid and pushed up, the pulling mechanism is located on the front side opposite to the fixed portion FP-2 with respect to the central axis (axis extending in the vertical direction) of the cigarette box CB-2. The inner packaging material 46 is pulled up along the wall. As a result, the inner packaging material 46 of the bottom surface 46-3 that has been in contact with the bottom wall 45 as described above is inclined with respect to the fixed portion FP-2 as shown in FIG. 5, so that the cigarette rows RW-1, RW -2 and RW-3 can be lifted up stepwise.

  Furthermore, the inner frame 60 is not only formed as a U-shaped slide member that slides inside the front wall 42 and the left and right walls, but also with the lid 50 closed at the upper end (see FIG. 4). A contact portion 61 that contacts the inner surface of the lid 50 is provided. Therefore, when the operation of pushing up the inner frame 60 is performed, the operation of pulling up the inner packaging material 46 while the cover 50 is flipped up is integrally executed. That is, the operation of pushing up the inner frame 60 is interlocked with the operation of flipping up the lid 50 and pulling up the inner packaging material 46.

  In the cigarette box CB-2, the lid 50 is closed, and the inner packaging material 46 arranged in a U-shape is not bent as described above (FIG. 4). Here, when the inner frame 60 is slid upward to open the lid 50, the inner packaging material 46 is pulled along with this, as shown in FIG. That is, the operation of opening the lid 50 through the inner frame 60 is integrated with the operation of pulling up the inner packaging material 46. As a result, when the lid 50 is opened, the inner packaging material 46 that is in contact with the bottom wall 45 is inclined with respect to the fixed portion FP-2, so that it can be lifted up stepwise for each cigarette row. Furthermore, with reference to FIG. 6, FIG. 7, the raising mechanism which cigarette box CB-1 has is demonstrated in detail.

6 and 7 are external perspective views showing a state corresponding to FIGS. 4 and 5 of the cigarette box CB-2.
6 and 7, an access opening 47 not shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is shown. The access opening 47 here is a U-shaped notch provided in the front wall 42 of the box body 40. It is formed as. Since the slidable inner frame 60 is exposed in the access opening 47, a sliding force can be applied to the inner frame 60 as shown by the arrows in FIG. Such an access opening is provided so that the user can apply a sliding force by bringing a finger (for example, a thumb) into contact with the inner frame 60, and thus the shape thereof is shown in FIGS. It is not necessary to make the notch reaching the upper end as illustrated. That is, the access opening 47 may be a notch such as a circle, an ellipse, or a rectangle.
In the second embodiment shown for the cigarette box CB-2, the adhesive portion 60a as the connecting portion and the access opening 47 described above are used for the forward movement of the inner frame 60 serving as the second operator and the lifting of the inner packaging material 46. The interlocking means for interlocking is configured.

In the cigarette box CB-2 having the above-described configuration, when the user pushes the inner frame 60 upward as indicated by an arrow from the state where the lid 50 shown in FIG. 6 is in the closed position, as shown in FIG. The lid 50 is opened and the cigarette is lifted up stepwise for each row. In the cigarette box CB-2, the front row RW-1 rises the most, so the rear RW-2 and RW-3 are not shown in FIG. 7 (see FIG. 5).
As described above, the pulling mechanism incorporated in the cigarette box CB-2 simultaneously performs the operation of pulling up the inner packaging material 46 by the operation of opening the lid 50 by the inner frame 60 (opening operation of the lid).

  According to the cigarette CB-2 according to the second embodiment described above, the user only needs to slide the inner frame 60 upward to open the lid 50, and take out the full cigarette. There is no need to add new actions. Further, once the inner frame 60 that has been lifted is not forcibly returned, it remains in that position. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, since the state where the cigarettes are lifted up stepwise for each row is maintained, one cigarette may be taken out slowly.

Further, a cigarette box CB-3 according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
8 and 9 are views showing the cigarette box CB-3 according to the third embodiment. FIG. 8 is a side view showing a state when the lid is closed, and FIG. 9 is a view when the lid is opened. It is a side view which shows the state.

8 and 9, the cigarette box CB-3 is divided into a body outer 70-1 and a body inner 70-2.
More specifically, the outer body 70-1 of the cigarette box CB-3 includes a front wall 72, a back wall 73, and left and right side walls 74R, 74L positioned between them (in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the inner cigarette CR). (Not shown in the figure), a peripheral wall is formed, and the bottom side below it is closed by a bottom wall 75. A part of the body inner 70-2 is accommodated in the body outer 70-1 so as to be relatively movable (up and down) in the vertical direction. Therefore, the cigarette box CB-3 has a structure in which the body inner 70-2 including the lid 80 can move relative to the body outer 70-1 in the vertical direction.

The body inner 70-2 has a lower body lower 81 accommodated in the body outer 70-1, and a lid 80 thereon. The body inner 70-2 has an upper end and an open lower end, and has a structure in which a lid 80 is connected to the upper end side via a hinge 71.
The body lower 81 of the body inner 70-2 is disposed so as to surround the inner pack (PC) around the trunk in cooperation with an inner frame described later. The body lower 81 is coupled to the inner packaging material of the inner pack via the inner frame.

The outer body 70-1, the inner body 70-2, and the inner frame 90 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing the shapes of the body outer 70-1, the body inner 70-2, and the inner frame 90, and the positional relationship thereof so that it can be easily confirmed. In addition, these can be produced by folding and assembling a single sheet-like blank.
As described above, the outer body 70-1 includes the front wall 72, the back wall 73, the left and right side walls 74R and 74L positioned between them, and the bottom wall 75. It is a hollow box. The back wall 73 of the outer body 70-1 has a structure in which an extension 73ex is folded back at an upper end 73tp. The extension portion 73ex is folded back along the inner surface of the back wall 73 (that is, the extension portion 73ex is accommodated inside the body outer 70-1). A protrusion 73pr that protrudes outward (downward in FIG. 10) is provided at the center of the tip of the extension 73ex.

Next, as described above, the body inner 70-2 is provided with the lid 80 on the body lower 81 via the hinge 71. The botany 81 is accommodated in the body outer 70-1 so as to be movable up and down. The back wall 73 of the body outer 70-1 and the back wall 82 constituting the body lower 81 are assembled so as to contact each other.
Here, a rectangular opening 83 is provided at the center of the back wall 82 of the body lower 81. Therefore, by setting so that the protruding portion 73pr protrudes to the front side through the opening 83, the lower end 73be of the extension portion 73ex is brought into contact with the lower opening edge 83be of the opening 83 so that the movement is restricted. The Thereby, the structure which controls the raising position of the body inner 70-2 is implement | achieved.
The lowered position of the body inner 70-2 is regulated by the end edge 80ed of the lid 80 coming into contact with the upper end edge 70-1ed of the body outer 70-1 (see FIG. 8).

Further, the body inner 70-2 is formed as a structure (hereinafter also referred to as a connection structure) in which the inner frame 90 is connected to the front side of the body inner 70-2, and then the body outer 70-. 1 is accommodated.
More specifically, the inner frame 90 includes side walls 92R and 92L on the left and right of the front wall 91. Each of the side walls 92R and 92L is disposed in contact with the inside of each of the left and right side walls 84R and 84L of the body inner 70-2, and is connected with their lower end positions aligned. Therefore, the connection structure in which the body inner 70-2 and the inner frame 90 are connected and integrated has a wall around the inside so as to surround (hold) a certain space, and the cross-sectional shape is low. The structure part which is a cylindrical shape of a character shape is included. Therefore, the lower side of this connection structure has a form having an open lower end. The position of the opened lower end is indicated by a dotted line EL in FIGS.
Based on the relationship between the body outer 70-1, the body inner 70-2, and the inner frame 90 described with reference to FIG. 10, the cigarette box CB-3 will be further described.

The body outer 70-1 accommodates the body lower 81 with the lid 80 exposed as shown in FIG. 8, a lowered position where the bottom surface 76-3 of the inner packaging material 76 is located on the bottom wall 75, and FIG. In this manner, the body lower 81 of the body inner 70-2 is accommodated while allowing the bottom wall 75 to move up and down from the raised position where the bottom surface 76-6 of the inner packaging material 76 is separated.
When the body inner 70-2 is in the lowered position and the lid 80 is in a closed state, the body inner 70-2 further includes an upright portion 73st that faces the back surface of the lid 80.
When the lid 80 is closed and the body inner 70-2 is in a lowered position (initial position) where the body inner 70-2 is not moved upward, the body outer 70-1 is opposed to the back surface of the lid 80 of the body inner 70-2. An upright portion 73st is integrally provided on the back wall 73. In other words, when the body inner 70-2 is in the lowered position shown in FIG. 8, the upright portion 73st protruding upward is an obstacle to opening the lid 80. Therefore, it is necessary to open the lid 80 after sliding the body inner 70-2 upward.

The cigarette box CB-3 is also provided with a mechanism for lifting up a plurality of cigarettes CR stored therein. A configuration for realizing this mechanism will be described in order below.
First, the entire bundle of cigarettes CR is wrapped with a sheet-like inner packaging material 76 to form an inner pack PC. Conventionally, the inner packaging material 76 may be the same as the material that wraps the cigarette, and for example, a sheet material in which paper and metal foil are laminated can be suitably used.
However, the inner packaging material 76 employed in the cigarette box CB-3 is disposed in a continuous form along the inner surfaces of the front wall 72, the bottom wall 75, and the back wall 73. More specifically, the inner packaging material 76 has front and rear surfaces 76-1 and 76-2 that respectively cover the front and rear of the cigarette bundle, and a single bottom surface 76-3 that covers the lower end surface of the cigarette bundle. And the upper part becomes the closed surface (surface which folded the edge part of the inner packaging material closed) 76-4 formed by folding and closing the upper end surface of a cigarette bundle so that opening is possible.

Incidentally, the present cigarette box CB-3 is characterized in that a structure for easily pulling out one cigarette CR is provided when the cigarette CR is fully packed immediately after opening. Therefore, FIG. 8 shows a side surface in a state where the cigarette CR is clogged.
Therefore, when viewed from the side, the inner packaging material 76 is arranged in a U shape along the outside of the bundle of cigarettes CR in a clogged state. The end portion of the inner packaging material 76 is set to be long so that it can be folded as described above, and the opening portion of the cigarette CR (here, the filter FL) is used as the inner packaging material before the cigarette box CB-3 is opened. The closed surface 76-4 described above is formed in a state of being wrapped by the flaps (tip side flap part 76a and terminal side flap part 76b) folded at the end of 76.

Note that both side portions of the inner packaging material 76 in the width direction (perpendicular to the paper surface in FIG. 8) are formed wider than the bundle of cigarettes CR, and folding the extra length as a folding allowance of the cigarette CR. The bundle is also wrapped from the side, and eventually, the state in which the entire cigarette CR is covered with the inner packaging material 76 is formed.
In addition, the cigarette box CB-3 in FIGS. 8 and 9 has, for example, 20 cigarettes CR stored therein, and the first row along the front wall has seven in RW-1, facing the back wall. There are six rows in the second row RW-2 and seven rows in the third row RW-3.

A part of the inner packaging material 76 facing the bottom wall 75 is fixed to the bottom wall 75 in the vicinity of the boundary line BL-2 between the back wall 73 and the bottom wall 75. More specifically, a part of the inner packaging material 76 is linearly fixed on the bottom wall 75 along the boundary line BL-2 to form a fixed portion FP-2. The fixing portion FP-2 may be one in which a part of the inner packaging material 76 is bonded and fixed to the bottom wall 75 using an adhesive or the like used for assembling the box body 70.
When such a fixing portion FP-2 is provided and the inner packaging material 76 is pulled up along the front wall 72 on the side opposite to the fixing portion FP-21, the bottom surface 76 of the inner packaging material 76 facing the bottom wall 75. -3 is inclined toward the upper left with the fixed part FP-2 as the base point (center).

  As described above, the fixed portion FP-2 is arranged in a linear shape (either a solid line shape or a dotted line shape) along the boundary line BL-2. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 9, the state which lifts up cigarette CR for every row | line | column can be formed. Here, it is not preferable to set the line width of the fixed portion FP-2 unnecessarily wide (for example, a width exceeding the radius of the cigarette CR). If the width of the fixing portion FP-2 is too wide, the region of the inclined inner packaging material 76 is reduced, and it becomes difficult to lift up in a stepwise manner for each row. From this point, the line width of the fixed portion FP-2 is preferably about 2 to 6 mm or 75% or less of the diameter of the cigarette CR to be stored.

In the cigarette box CB-3, the inner frame 90 has higher rigidity than the inner packaging material 76 inside the box body 70 and guides the movement of the inner packaging material 76 while reinforcing the box body 70 from the inner side. Is deployed. The inner frame 90 has been described above with reference to FIG. 10. However, the inner frame 90 is integrated with the body inner 70-2 to form the connection structure described above, and is then accommodated in the body outer 70-1. It plays a role as a pulling mechanism that pulls up.
In addition, the conventional inner frame is for reinforcement, and generally has a U-shaped cross-sectional shape (as viewed from above) that supports the inner surfaces of the front wall and the side wall. In the cigarette box CB-3, The inner frame is used effectively.

  Referring to FIGS. 8 to 10, the pulling mechanism in the cigarette box CB-3 is slidable in the up and down direction (vertical direction in the drawing) along the inner surface of the body outer 70-1 of the box body 70. Contains a structure. This structure has a space inside, and the inner pack PC is arranged in this space. That is, this structure is also a protective structure in which the inner frame 90 and the body inner 70-2 cooperate to surround the inner pack PC around the trunk. The connecting structure is a slide member having a square cross-sectional shape, and the inner frame 90 and the body inner 70-2 constituting this function as a second operating element (Claim 1).

8 and 9, the inner frame 90 and the front surface 76-1 of the inner packaging material 76 are coupled to each other, and bonded as a coupling portion that causes the front surface 76-1 to be lifted as the inner frame 90 is pulled up. A portion 90a is provided. That is, a part of the inner packaging material 76 is fixed to the inner frame 90 by the adhesive portion 90 a inside the front wall 72. Therefore, the slide operation for pulling up the inner frame 90 (connection structure) is linked to the operation for pulling up the inner packaging material 76.
When the inner frame 90 slides, the pulling mechanism is arranged along the front wall on the opposite side of the fixed portion FP-2 with respect to the central axis (axis extending in the vertical direction) of the cigarette box CB-3. The inner packaging material 76 is pulled up. As a result, the inner packaging material 76 of the bottom surface 76-3 that has been in contact with the bottom wall 75 as described above is inclined as shown in FIG. 9 with the fixed portion FP-2 as the base point, so that the cigarette rows RW-1, RW -2 and RW-3 can be lifted up stepwise.

  By the way, as described above, the upright portion 73st of the back wall 73 of the outer body 70-1 exists opposite to the back surface of the inner body 70-2 before the lid 80 is closed and moved (down position). ing. The standing upper portion 73st is provided with an access opening 73de that exposes the back surface of the lid 80 in order to apply a sliding force to the body inner 70-2 (connection structure). The access opening 73de is not shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, but is shown in FIG. 10 described above and FIGS. 12 and 14 described later.

  In the cigarette box CB-3, when the body inner 70-2 is in the lowered position described above and the lid 80 is closed, the inner packaging material 76 arranged in the U-shape does not bend as described above (FIG. 8). It is in. Here, when the body inner 70-2 is slid upward, the inner frame 90 integrated therewith is also slid together. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, the inner packaging material 76 is pulled. That is, the action of pulling up the body inner 70-2 and opening the lid 80 is integrated with the action of pulling up the inner packaging material 76 through the inner frame 90. As a result, when the body inner 70-2 is in the raised position and the lid 80 is opened, the inner packaging material 76 that is in contact with the bottom wall 75 is inclined with respect to the fixed portion FP-2. You can lift up.

Furthermore, with reference to FIG. 11 to FIG. 14, how the cigarette box CB-3 is pulled up will be described in more detail. 11 and FIG. 12 are external perspective views showing the state corresponding to the cigarette box CB-3 shown in FIG. 8 from the front side and the back side, and FIGS. 13 and 14 are views of the cigarette box CB-3 shown in FIG. It is the external appearance perspective view which showed the mode which respond | corresponds from the front side and the back side.
In these FIGS. 11 to 14, left and right side walls 74 </ b> R and 74 </ b> L not shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 are illustrated. As shown in FIG. 13, the inner frame 90 and the lower body lower 81 of the body inner 70-2 are in contact with each other at the side walls (84R and 92R / 84L and 92L, see FIG. 10), and at the overlapping portion La Connected with adhesive. Thereby, it can also confirm that the connection structure containing the structure part whose cross-sectional shape becomes a square shape is formed. However, the portion connecting the inner frame 90 and the body inner 70-2 does not have to be limited to the side portion as illustrated here, and a form in which the inner pack PC is surrounded around the trunk by cooperation is realized. Just do it.

Further, an access opening 73de, which is not shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, is shown in FIGS. 12 and 14, and the access opening 73de is formed as a semicircular cutout provided in the rising portion 73st. Has been. Since the back surface of the slidable body inner 70-2 is exposed in the access opening 73de, a sliding force is applied to the body inner 70-2 (connection structure) as shown by the arrow in FIG. Can be made. Since the access opening 73de is provided so that the user can apply a ride force by bringing a finger (for example, a thumb) into contact with the body inner 70-2, the shape thereof is as illustrated in the figure. It is not necessary to have a notch that reaches the top. That is, the access opening may be a notch such as a circle, an ellipse, or a rectangle.
However, the form in which the access opening 73de is provided as described above should be understood as a more preferable form example. When the access opening 73de is not provided in the upright portion 73st, the body inner 70-2 (connection structure) can be moved upward also by placing a finger on both sides of the lid 80 and holding the lid 80 to lift it. .
And in 3rd Embodiment shown about this cigarette box CB-3, the inner frame 90 which also serves as a 2nd operation element, and the forward movement of the body inner 70-2 are the inner packaging material 76 with the adhesion part 90a as a coupling part mentioned above. The interlocking means to be interlocked with the pulling up is constructed.

In the cigarette box CB-3 having the above-described configuration, when the lid 80 is opened as shown in FIGS. 8 to 9, the cigarette is lifted up step by step as shown in FIG. It becomes. However, in this cigarette box CB-3, the front row RW-1 rises the most, so the rear RW-2 and RW-3 are not shown in FIG. 12 (see FIG. 9).
By the way, in the cigarette box CB-3 exemplified above, the connection structure formed by the inner frame 90 and the body inner 70-2 is moved upward in the raised portion 73st provided on the back wall 73 with the lid 80 closed. When there is no lowering position (initial position), the rising height is the same. However, this is an example. The rising height of the rising portion 73st can be arbitrarily determined, whereby the lift-up amount of the bottom surface in the inner package can be determined. That is, the rising height of the rising portion 73st may be determined according to the lift-up amount of the bottom surface of the inner packaging material.

  According to the cigarette CB-3 according to the third embodiment described above, when the user performs an operation of sliding the body inner 70-2 upward and opening the lid 80, the connection structure is accordingly accompanied. Moves and the cigarette is lifted up stepwise for each row. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform an additional new operation to take out a full cigarette. Further, once the connection structure that has been raised does not close the lid 80 and forcibly lower the body inner 70-2, the connection structure remains in that position. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13, since the state where the cigarettes are lifted up stepwise for each row is maintained, one cigarette may be taken out slowly.

Hereinafter, an inner packaging material that is preferably employed in the above-described cigarette box CB will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, the inner packaging material (16, 46, 76) for wrapping the inner pack (PC) is formed in a single sheet shape, and the cigarette is arranged in a U-shaped and unbroken shape in the cigarette box. Each column can be lifted up stepwise.
In the fixing portion fixed to the bottom wall (15, 45, 75) of the box body (10, 40, 70), it is more preferable to provide a cut for smooth movement in a part of the inner packaging material. More specifically, each inner packaging material is linearly fixed with an adhesive or the like on the bottom wall, but since it moves around its fixing part (FP-1 or FP-2), by providing a cut, It is possible to smoothly form the posture in which the bottom surface is inclined so that the inner packaging material is bent without difficulty.

FIG. 15 is a view showing a blank 100 for an inner packaging material provided with the above-mentioned notches. In FIG. 15, FR is assigned to the area corresponding to the front surface, RE is assigned to the area corresponding to the rear surface, and BA is assigned to the area corresponding to the bottom surface.
