Description

Packing and packing method for cigarette bundle

It has been understood for some time that small multiples of tobacco extends the packaging freshness of the cigarette during use as well as during storage. It has been demonstrated that, in the standard packaging of 20 cigarettes, when opening the package, less than 24 hours from the initial opening of the package, the taste of the cigarette is significantly impaired due to moisture loss. Small multiple compartments of cigarettes reduce the number of cigarettes exposed over time, providing tobacco packaging that keeps the cigarette fresher while smoking the entire pack. Moore's US Pat. No. 2,185,604 discloses a container in which a small number of cigarettes are packaged. Individual perforations are provided to expose small multiple cigarettes so that only these cigarettes have reduced moisture over time. The packaging is provided with a lid that further suppresses moisture loss of exposed tobacco. Moreover, the tear tab tilts back beyond the open compartment of the cigarette, further reducing moisture loss.

US Pat. No. 3,148,768 to Gatto discloses a small multiple compartment in the overall packaging of more than 20 cigarettes. Small package contains the packaging needed to maintain the freshness of these cigarettes until they are opened. The package is partially resealed by folding the top flaps together. However, there is a gap so that individual cigarettes in the pack lose moisture. This is not a serious problem, because cigarettes in these packs are smoked before they go bad. Geldmacher, US Pat. No. 3,732,663, discloses a method of packaging small multiples of tobacco in webs of plastic sheets and / or foils. This packaging ensures the freshness of the cigarettes during opening. The package may include a casement that can be pivoted to a closed position when the cigarette is temporarily stored. However, hinged lids do not guarantee reclosing of tobacco packaging. The packaging system may be designed to provide for individual packaging of tobacco, the appearance of which may be an assembly of multiple individual tobacco or roll-shaped packages. Cigarettes are taken out of individual cells of tobacco packaging. Wolfe's US Pat. No. 5,333,729 discloses a resealable closure for film sealed soft side packaging of tobacco. The closure may be provided in a sealed package or may be applied later by the smoker. The closure includes a flap in which the pressure sensitive adhesive reseals the film in a soft side package.

United States Patent 4,807,745 to Langley et al. Discloses a packaging mixture for barrier sealed tobacco. Films such as moisture barrier, vapor barrier, etc. are laminated to provide packaging for the packaging of tobacco that prevents moisture loss during storage. The advantage of fresh barriers is lost when the package is opened, because the cigarette is exposed to the atmosphere in the usual way, which quickly loses moisture from all tobacco in the exposed package. As an alternative barrier sealing hinged lid tobacco packaging is disclosed in PCT application WO 97/42098 of Rothmans International Services Limited, which packaging can be opened by dividing the barrier.

According to one aspect of the invention, the packaging is provided not only during storage but also when the packaging is first opened, after the packaging is opened, an indication of the freshness of the cigarette may optionally be provided.

The present invention relates to a tobacco packaging system having a device that improves tobacco freshness during storage and use and informs the user of the packaging freshness upon first opening.

According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a flow seal type tobacco packaging in which multiple cigarettes are packaged. Flow seal packaging technology facilitates rapid packaging of tobacco, which has excellent vapor, moisture and gas barrier properties. Such packaging may be provided with a resealable tobacco inlet means near its upper end, the inlet means being open to remove one cigarette and immediately resealed manually or automatically with the closure of the tobacco packaging. Optionally, in the packaging of the cigarette, the package is packaged under vacuum so that air is pushed in when the package is first opened, implying the freshness of the cigarette to the consumer. Many advantages and features emerge from this tobacco packaging system described in connection with the detailed description of the preferred embodiment.

According to one aspect of the present invention, there is a method for packaging a bundle of cigarettes, the method comprising the steps of folding a stacking barrier against a bundle, flow sealing the folded barrier along the direction of the bundle, and a barrier folded at each end of the bundle direction. The end consists of a step of sealing.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is a packaging barrier for a bundle of cigarettes, the barrier having a flow seal seam along each side of the bundle and a flow seal seam traversing the bundle across the tobacco length, the barrier Means for opening the opening has a cigarette access opening.

The fresh packaging system of the present invention overcomes various problems of existing systems. The packaging not only maintains the desired moisture content in the cigarette during storage but also does not stain the cigarette during storage in a humid environment. The packaging is a gastight seal, so degassing can be used for tobacco packaging, for example degassing inhibits the growth of mold in tobacco. The package is a particulate seal so that loose tobacco does not fall off the package and into the holder's pocket or purse. The sealing system for packaging is made vacuum tight so that almost vacuum is drawn into the packaging. When the user opens the package, some air is implying freshness of the product. Cigarettes may be packaged under partial vacuum or may be packaged under slightly warm conditions so that they are cooled so that a slight vacuum develops in the package. Vacuum packaging of the product can reinforce the overall strength of the packaging, especially if cardboard trays are used to support the tobacco in the desired packaging. This device eliminates the need for external packaging. All advertisements and other materials may appear on the side of the packaging sheet. Depending on the type of graphic desired, various foil elements can be used including multiple layers capable of illuminating the holographic image. Gastight packaging can also provide the application of menthol to tobacco and maintain fresh menthol flavor in the packaging. Menthol crystals can be included in the package to provide menthol flavor after the first opening of the package due to the resealable nature of the package inlet.

1 and 2, an exemplary shell and slide package 10 is equipped with a standard outer card portion 12 that displays conventional advertising information. The outer card package 12 is equipped with a conventional opening lid 14, which provides a conventional individual package 16, 18 containing a normal number of cigarettes, making up a total of 25 cigarettes. In order to open the package, the bottom 15 of the slide 17 is pushed up in the shell 12. As shown in FIG. 5, each package 16 or 18 encloses a bundle of cigarettes therein in the form of two rows of cigarettes in a conventional manner. However, the packaging is very different. Each package 16, 18 consists of a sheet material 24 which preferably provides a moisture barrier, a vapor barrier and a structural barrier. The barrier material is preferably a stack of layers, each layer having a specific function. The barrier layers will provide at least moisture and gas barriers and preferably additional layers provide fragrance barriers (ie menthol), structures, and the like. The barrier may comprise layers that provide adhesive sealing or heat sealing of the barrier.

The sheet material 24 is folded and sealed in a standard manner using a well known flow seal type machine. U.S. Patent 4,420,080 discloses several types of resealable dispenser containers, for example, resealable pouches are made using standard flow seal techniques. The resealable inlet to the package consists of a tab with a pressure sensitive reusable adhesive which, in the first embodiment, pulls the pavement wall perforated from the package when exposed from the package so that the opening is revealed. When the individual product is removed from the package, the tab is tilted back into the package and resealed using pressure. The resealable adhesive is sufficiently pressure sensitive to form a seal that prevents moisture from entering or leaking into the package. According to the embodiment of FIG. 3, the resealable inlet 26 in the form of a tab 27 according to this embodiment is lifted up in the direction of the arrow 23 to expose the opening 29 so that one or more cigarettes can be It can be removed from the individual packages 16, 18. After the desired tobacco has been removed, the resealable inlet tab 26 may come on the face 28 of the package for resealing, thus maintaining the freshness of the packaged tobacco. The underside 25 of the tab 26 has an appropriate pressure sensitive adhesive that forms a moisture proof seal to prevent loss or gain of moisture. The resealing of the package may function with the opening and closing of the lid in the manner described with respect to FIGS. 8 and 9, but functions independently of the lid 14 of the card package 12.

Flow seal techniques can also be applied to soft side packaging, such as packaging 31 of FIG. 4. The pavement has an exterior wall 33 that is folded at 35, providing a nice appearance. The upper part 37 of the soft pack is provided with an inlet 39 of the present invention, which is provided by a tab 41 that is peeled back from the face 43. The tab 41 has a pressure sensitive adhesive on the lower surface 45a. When the tab 41 is peeled back, the wall portion cut with a die in the form of a cutout 47 is pulled away from the balance of the wall 33 to provide an opening 49 for access to the cigarette. Entails. After taking out the cigarette, the tab is resealed by applying pressure to the adhesive in zone 45 to seal the opening 49 along the face 43 of the package.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, tobacco in columns 20 and 22 may be contained in a cardboard shell or tray 30 wrapped in outer sheet material 24. The resealable inlet 26 consists of a substantially wrapper material, which is an outer seal thin film and cutout 32 in the form of a tab 34. The package can be opened by pulling up on the sealing thin film end 36 of the tab and tearing away or peeling away from the face 38 of the package and at the same time tearing the thin film cutout 32 out of the cigarette 22. After removing the cigarette from the position where the inlet 36 is fully open, the resealable membrane 34 is lowered on the face 38 of the package and reseals the package until continuous reuse.

An alternative embodiment for the resealable inlet 26 is shown in FIG. 7, wherein the resealable membrane 40 is secured to the face 38 of the package. The resealable end 42 of the inlet 26 is pulled up from the top 44 of the package to expose the tobacco 20 and remove it from the package. By pulling the resealable inlet from the package, the cut portion of the thin film 46 with the die is removed. To reseal the package, the inlet tab 26 is pulled back onto the package surface and back to the top 51 and resealed against the opening to preserve the freshness of the cigarette during use of the package.

8 and 9, a mechanical system is shown for opening and closing a resealable inlet in a tobacco package 53. According to the present embodiment, the package 53 is provided with a shell 55 with a slide 57. The slide 57 is pulled over the shell 55 to expose the inner packaging 59 of the cigarette. The inner wrap 59 has a foil wrapper 61 cut into dies at 63 to form openings at the top 67 and face 65 of the wrap. The slide 57 has a conventional upper flap 69 which is hinged at the joint 71. The flap 69 is adhered to the break tab 73 by an adhesive strip 75.

As shown in FIG. 9, when the flap 69 is pulled away from the face 65 of the wrapping foil, the hole 63 is pulled away with the flip portion 69 and the arrow 81 and arrow 81. To allow the tobacco 22 to be removed. After removing the cigarette, the package is resealed by simply pulling the flap 69 onto the side 65 of the individual package of cigarette. The inner surface of the tab 73 has a pressure sensitive adhesive that adheres to the face 65 of the package to reseal the opening 79. The pressure sensitive adhesive simply contacts the inner surface 73 and the surface 65 to prevent moisture loss until a seal is formed and the next cigarette is taken out of the package.

Fig. 10 shows a sheet material in the form of a laminated barrier for use in packaging tobacco. The sheet material 24 preferably has a plurality of fold lines 48 to allow folding of the packaging sheet against tobacco in the formation of the relatively rectangular final packaging 16 or 18 of FIG. 1. If the sheet does not have a folding line, the folding lines should be displayed to examine where the film is folded against the bundle of cigarettes. The sheet may include advertising material or other artistic work in zone 50. The sheet 24 may be laminated, whereby various decorative features may be included in the sheet. Zone 50 forms a somewhat front part of the pavement. Openings cut into dies in the form of cutouts 52, as shown by the outlines, may be cut partially or entirely through the sheet material 24. Cutting with a die and attaching the outer sealing membrane 34 to the cutout 52 pulls the cutout 52 away, as it pulls the tab end 36 detachably adhered to the face 50 of the package. To ensure inlet openings. This technique has been demonstrated in U.S. Patent No. 4,420,080, and is a cigarette packaging for easily removing one or more cigarettes from packaging and maintaining tobacco freshness. In situations where it is desirable to vacuum pack a pack of cigarettes, the method and equipment for cutting with a die is provided in such a way as to ensure that vacuum is maintained in the package until the package is first opened. This is achieved by, for example, only partially cutting through the sheet 24 into a die, thus achieving the desired vacuum.

The sheet material 24 of FIG. 10 is folded and wrapped around the bundle of cigarettes 54 of FIG. The bundle is usually assembled into 12 or 13 cigarette sets. The bundle can be contained within the tray 56. The tray is preferably used to stabilize the bundle, while the bundle is packed in a flow seal system. The use of the tray 56 provides a uniform arrangement of tobacco prior to packaging. The first step of sealing a pack of cigarettes is the overlap and sealing of the ends 58, 60. These zones overlap and form a seal 62 between sealing rollers 83 and 85 that rotate in opposite directions. The seal 62 extends in the transverse direction of the bundle 54 of cigarettes in the direction of the arrow 64. Preferably, the sheet 24 is continuous as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, and the sheet is bundled by fitting the fold line 48 to the tray of tobacco in the sheet as shown in FIG. 10. 54) Fold up. The tray serves to prevent cigarette bundles from scattering during these and subsequent steps. Flow seal 62 is overlaid by roller 87 to form flow seal fold 89. The end flow seal 66 is made from a sheet sealed by rollers rotating in opposite directions. The apparatus for making the transverse and end flow seals of FIGS. 13, 14 and 15 can be of the type disclosed in US Pat. No. 4,420,080 although many other machines can be used to achieve similar flow seals. The flow seal may be a heat seal type, an adhesive seal type or any other type of gas and moisture resistant seal. An exemplary apparatus for making an end seal is shown in FIG. 15. The end flow seal to be cut has a knife face 84 for cutting the sealed end to form a secure sealing wrap 91 with a mating surface 82 extending laterally in the opposite direction forming the crimped end seal 66. It is achieved by quadrants 78, 80 that rotate in opposite directions. The cigarette is protected from the addition and / or loss of moisture until the tab is lifted to remove the cigarette according to the procedure described in FIGS.

The end flow seal 66 of the package 93 is folded into a triangular portion 86. Tray 56 is a face portion 88 with a side 90. In this particular embodiment, the side 90 extends essentially perpendicular to the face portion 88. The face portion of the tray 56 has a U-shaped cutout 92 that accesses the cigarette when the resealable end 36 is pulled up.

With conventional foil packaging for a variety of cigarettes, standard metal foil wraps have a folding base with overlapping sides. The foil is folded up itself without any adhesive. When attempting to open an individual foil package, the loosely supported foil front is pulled away from the base wrapper so that the cigarettes in it can be exposed and taken out. Loose leaf foils may not be placed on the tobacco to form any type of moisture barrier to prevent loss or addition of moisture in the tobacco during smoking of the packaged tobacco.

As shown in FIG. 15, the transversal seal 62 itself overlaps at 89 with the system of the present invention so that the package becomes square. The end 66 of the pavement itself is superimposed and flattened to form a rectangular end with an overlapped portion with a flat, angled bottom 104 and top 106. This provides a very attractive finished package for a variety of cigarettes, either used on its own or in a pull-out package with an outer carton or in shell, slide and tubular packages. The finished package 93 has a nicely folded sheet material to form a package, commonly referred to as a soft side package.

16 and 17 illustrate the important advantages of this packaging system for tobacco. Multiple cigarettes can be arranged in any desired arrangement, as described, for example, in Canadian Patent 2,085,777. The various bundles of multiple cigarettes allow the packaging system to easily accommodate these various shapes because of the ability of the packaging system to easily overlap the flow seal sheets. In this respect, the direction of the flow seal can extend in the diagonal direction of the package or in the longitudinal direction of the package in addition to being able to extend in the transverse direction of the package, to accommodate new packages and also provide a new shape of the inlet opening. .

The bundle 54, for example, has individual cigarettes 112 therein to form a package with an inclined front. The tray 56 has a flat face 88, and the side 114 extends outwardly at an angle from the face 88 to accommodate the inclined front bundles for the multiple cigarettes 54. This bundle of cigarettes is packaged with flow seal sheet material to be supported by the tray 56 to form the finished package 116. As shown in FIG. 17, the pavement 116 has an inclined edge 120 that meets the front 118 and the side 122. The package includes a tab 110 that can be pulled back so that the cigarette can be taken out and resealed after the cigarette is removed from the package.

The packaging design of the present invention accommodates many different packaging shapes and designs for opening and closing in tobacco packaging. The newly configured machine does not need to redesign the package each time. Instead, it is only necessary to provide another inner tray for the flow seal type of packaging. Once the vacuum is developed in the package, the sheet material can be easily applied to any desired shape, thus providing a nicer finish package.

A system for an automatically opening tab that seals an inlet opening is described with respect to FIGS. 18 and 19. Standard slide and shell tobacco packaging is shown. The shell 130 surrounds the slide 132 which in turn wraps the bundle of cigarettes 134. The flow seal bundle tobacco has an inlet opening at 136 which is hermetically closed by a tab 138 bonded to the barrier material 140 at the lower end 142 of the barrier material and at 144 of the upper portion of the barrier material. A suitable linkage 146, which is a flexible filament, is attached to the interior 148 of the shell 130 and to the top 150 of the pull tab 138. The barrier is cut into dies at 152 and 154 to form cutouts for the inlet opening 136. As shown in FIG. 19, within the shell 130, the slide 132 advances upwards in the direction of the arrow 156 and the link 146 pulls from the top 144 to expose the inlet 136 and thus Allow tobacco 158 to be removed from bundle 134. Reclosure of the packaging results in the tab 138 coming back in place as shown in FIG. 18, where the tab 138 seals the inlet opening 136 again. The upper flap 160 is then closed and the inner lip 162 overlaps in the shell 130 to complete the resealing of the package. This automatic opening and closing of the seal allows the cigarettes in the bundle to maintain freshness and to avoid loss of freshness due to the smoker forgetting to tap seal for the inlet opening.

The application of flow seal technology to the packaging of cigarettes offers many unexpected advantages and features. The flow seal package may form the exterior of the soft side package. The advertising material may be incorporated into a stack of sheets or barrier material going into the flow seal packaging. The package ends and the transverse flow seals can be folded nicely to form products with attractive ends. Access to the tobacco can be achieved by tearing open the flow seal packaging opening or selectively opening the resealable shape. Flow seal packaging is provided for the vacuum packaging style of tobacco. This is advantageous because, with the initial opening of the tobacco packaging, the whine of air indicates the freshness of the product to the user. Flow seal packaging easily accommodates the changing shape of the pack of cigarettes, providing greater flexibility in the marketing of the product. Flow seal packaging operations are particularly suitable for packaging various bundles due to the use of trays to keep the bundle shape during the flow seal packaging process. The flow seal technique can be used to receive a shell and slide wrap of the type shown in FIG. 2 where the slide is opened through the top of the shell or alternatively the slide is opened through the side of the shell. The flow seal technique can also be used in a tray of cigarette bundles in which cigarettes are placed in individual pupils formed in the trays as disclosed in US Pat. No. 3,148,768, supra. Individual tab seals may be provided for each tray cavity. Flow seal technology can also be used to package bundles of cigarettes or multiple packages of tobacco and can be used for soft side seal packaging.

As will be appreciated, the loss of moisture during the smoking of packaged cigarettes significantly affects the taste of tobacco smoked during smoking during this period. In addition, the addition of moisture to tobacco in more humid climates can also affect taste and appearance. Flow seal packaging offers significant advantages over resealable inlet openings. Flow seal technology can provide such openings in attractive packaging. The opening can be opened and closed several times, while still maintaining the sealing closure of the opening. The tab closure for the opening is of sufficient strength to maintain the vacuum seal. This ensures product freshness as the tabs are pulled back and the rush of air is a signal that indicates product freshness. The use of vacuum packaging can also improve the strength of tobacco packaging for loading purposes and this feature is readily provided by flow seal technology.

While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described in detail herein, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit of the invention or the appended claims.
