Description

Rigid containers for tobacco products with round or four-sided corners, RIGID CONTAINER FOR TOBACCO ARTICLES, WITH ROUNDED OR BEVELED TRANSVERSE AND LONGITUDINAL EDGES}

In the following description, for convenience, a non-limiting example refers to a rigid container formed of a cigarette pack.

Rigid cigarette packs with a rigid hinged-lid are generally in the form of a parallelepiped of rectangular cross-section, comprising two major lateral walls formed by the front and rear side walls; It includes two minor lateral walls that connect with both main sidewalls at each sharp square longitudinal edge.

Rigid cigarette packs of this type, ie, in the form of parallelepipeds of rectangular cross section, are not ergonomic in shape and suffer from some drawbacks by allowing any garment fabric they contact to wear out quickly.

In addition, the rectangular parallelepiped rigid cigarette packs are very stiff on the secondary sidewalls and at the right angled corners, but on the main sidewalls they are less rigid and shrink when they are covered with a transparent cellophane wrapping wrap around the cigarette pack ), It has a defect that is deformed inward.

The inward deformation of the main sidewall, caused by the inwardly directed pressure exerted by the transparent wrap wrap on the pack, presses the cigarette in the pack and keeps it in a pressed form, thus making the first cigarette particularly difficult to draw. In addition, deformation of the main side wall, in particular the rear side wall, deforms the hinge connecting the lid to the bottom shell, making it difficult to open the lid unless the entire transparent packaging wrap is removed (usually torn) from the pack.

The drawback is at least partly eliminated by the packs of the type described in patents EP-B1-0204933 and EP-B1-0205766, in which the packs have four four-sided or rounded longitudinal edges. And eight angular right angled transverse edges. However, cigarette packs having a sloped or rounded corner of this type may not be able to properly close the cup-shaped lower container due to the difficulty in forming two matching rounded or sloped corners, in particular the shape Another drawback is that this ergonomic is relatively difficult to handle.

The present invention relates to a rigid container for tobacco products.

Figure 1 reference numeral 1 shows an ordinary container for cigarettes formed by the foil sheet of packing material parallel orderly cigarettes of the first group of the cube-shaped wrap (not shown for simplicity), a rigid cigarette holds the contents.

The cigarette pack 1 includes a cup-shaped lower container 2 having an open upper end 3; With respect to this lower container 2, the hinge 5 is rotated about the lower container 2 between an open position (FIG. 2) and a closed position (FIGS. 1 and 3) which open and close the upper end 3, respectively. And a cup-shaped upper lid 4 rotatably connected to the lower container 2 along.

The lid 4 is formed by the side surfaces 6 on the pack 1 in the closed position and by two opposing end walls 7 and 8, respectively, which are flat and identical. Impart a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape that is parallel to each other in shape.

The side surface 6 has two parallel mutually opposite flat sidewalls 9; Two main sidewalls 10, 11 facing each other and intersecting with the secondary sidewall 9. More specifically, one main side wall 10 forms the front side wall of the pack 1 and the other main side wall 11 forms the rear side wall of the pack 1.

The cigarette pack 1 is also folded into a U-shape and is fitted (glued) into the cup-shaped container 2 and partially protrudes outward from the upper end 3 so that the lid 4 is closed (shown in FIG. 1). And a collar 12 coupled to the corresponding inner surface of the lid 4.

Four longitudinal edges are formed between the secondary sidewalls 9 and the main sidewalls 10, 11, and eight transverse edges 14 between the end walls 7, 8 and the sidewalls 9, 10, 11. These eight transverse edges 14 are divided into major transverse edges 14a and secondary transverse edges 14b to intersect the longitudinal edges 13. The two major transverse edges 14a of the front sidewall 10 and the two longitudinal edges 13 of the rear sidewall 11 are rounded corners, i.e. corners formed by quadrant cylindrical surfaces, respectively. , Each wall 7-11 is connected with a constant radius of curvature, while the other edges 13, 14 are rectangular angular edges.

As shown in FIG. 10, the cigarette pack 1 of FIGS. 1 and 2 is formed by a corresponding flat and fairly long rectangular blank 15, the parts of which are preferably of the cigarette pack 1. The same reference numerals are used for corresponding parts and marked with prime marks.

The blank 15 (with the longitudinal center axis 16) has two longitudinal crease lines 17 and a plurality of transverse fold lines 18, which are transverse fold lines 18. 18 shows a panel 10 'between the two longitudinal folds 7, which forms the top of the front sidewall 10 (and in particular the part which forms part of the lid 4) and the end wall of the top. Panel 7 'forming 7, panel 8' forming lower end wall 8, and part of front sidewall 10 (and in particular forming part of container 2). The panel 10 "which forms () is defined.

Each panel 10 ′, 10 ″, 11 ′ is disposed on both sides of the associated panel 10 ′, 10 ″, 11 ′ and associated panels 10 ′, 10 ″, 11 by longitudinal fold lines 17. Two side wings 9 ', 9 "separated from'). The panel 10 'has a reinforcing flap 19, with each vane 9', 9 "of the panel 11 'being disposed at both ends of the vanes 9', 9" and longitudinally aligned with each other. It has a rectangular longitudinal appendage 20.

A plurality of transverse fold lines 18 are provided between the panels 10 ', 7' and between the panels 8 ', 10 "to provide two separate major transverse edges 14a of the front sidewall 10. Rounded, a plurality of longitudinal folds 17 are provided between the panel 11 'and each vane 9', 9 "to round two separate longitudinal edges 13 of the rear sidewall 11. To form.

In the case of forming each pack 1, the side wings 9 ′ and the side wings 9 ″ overlap and bond to form secondary sidewalls 9 of the pack 1 and each longitudinal attachment 20 ) Is folded at right angles with respect to the side wings 9 'or 9 "and overlapped and adhered to the inner surface of the associated panel 7' or 8 ', thereby providing an inner side of the associated end wall 7 or 8 of the pack 1. Forms part.

Various tests have shown that the pack of cigarettes 1 described above takes the form of an ergonomically easy handle while at the same time making the fabric of the garment in contact with the pack 1 relatively little to wear.

In addition, the pack 1 has a relatively low rigidity at the secondary sidewall 9 and the rounded or beveled edges 13, thereby avoiding excessive compression of the cigarettes contained in the pack 1 and thus the first cigarette. It is easy to extract from the pack 1 and the lid 4 is easily opened.

Finally, the longitudinal edge 13 of the front sidewall 10 is a right angled angular edge, so that the lid 4 closes the cup-shaped lower container 2 accurately since it is relatively easy to form two coincident right angled corners. .

In the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 11, the lower edge 21 of the lid 4 and the upper edge 22 of the container 2 are in contact with each other when the lid 4 is closed. It is sized to maintain a given distance from the band 23 of 12) to expose the band. More specifically, the exposed band 23 of the collar 12 may extend along only the front sidewall 10 or along a portion of the secondary sidewall 9.

In another embodiment shown in FIG. 12, the lower edge 21 of the lid 4 and the upper edge 22 of the container 2, in particular, are in a straight line parallel to the transverse edge 14, in particular. It is somewhat curved at the front sidewall 10.

In the cigarette pack 1 shown in the accompanying drawings, the two main transverse edges 14a of the front sidewall 10 and the two longitudinal edges 13 of the rear sidewall 11 are rounded or sloped. However, alternatively, the two main transverse edges 14a of the rear sidewall 11 of the litter box 1 and the two longitudinal edges 13 of the front sidewall 10 may be round or quadrangle, The two major transverse edges 14a of the rear sidewall 11 of the cigarette pack 1 or the two longitudinal edges 13 of the rear sidewall 11 are rounded or sloped, or the front of the pack 1 The two major transverse edges 14a and the two longitudinal edges 13 of the side wall 10 are round or cornered, or more generally, the cigarette pack 1 has one or more sloped or rounded bells. It may be provided with a directional edge 13 and one or more oblique or round transverse edges 14.

In an alternative embodiment of the cigarette pack 1, not shown, all the longitudinal edges 13 are angular edges, while the two major transverse edges 14a of the front sidewall 10 are rounded (or four-sided). )to be.

As shown in FIG. 13, the front sidewall 10, the secondary sidewall 9, and the end walls 7, 8 are flat walls, while the rear sidewall 11 is convex outward and each angular longitudinal edge thereof. It is connected to the two secondary side walls 9 along (13) to form, with these two secondary side walls 9, respective substantially obtuse backside angles.

The rear sidewall 11 has a flat, substantially rectangular central portion 24 and two side bands disposed between the central portion 24 and the corresponding longitudinal edges 13 at both sides of the central portion 24. 25). Each side band 25 is pre-folded inward along the longitudinal fold line 26 so that the recess is curved inwardly, connecting the central portion 24 to the corresponding secondary sidewall 9, and the secondary sidewall. Together with (9) they form an associated angular longitudinal edge 13 and the backside angle of each obtuse angle.

Alternatively, the rear sidewall 11 is flat, and the front sidewall 10 is convex outward and connected to two secondary sidewalls 9 along each angular longitudinal edge 13 and two secondary sidewalls 9 ) May form each substantially obtuse backside angle.

In a preferred embodiment, the longitudinal fold lines 17 form angular longitudinal edges 13 while the longitudinal fold lines 26 serve to slightly curve side bands 25 without angular edges. In view of this, the longitudinal fold lines 17 (also called main longitudinal fold lines) are weaker than the longitudinal fold lines 26 (also called secondary longitudinal fold lines). In order to vary the degree of weakness, the longitudinal fold lines 17, 26 are formed by individual knots of different shapes and / or dimensions.

Therefore, in the pack 1, the one or more longitudinal edges 13 and the one or more transverse edges 14 are not right angles, while the other longitudinal and transverse edges 13, 14 are angular right angles. to be. The two longitudinal edges 13 of the rear sidewall 11 and the two major transverse edges 14a of the front sidewall 10 are non-right angled edges, while the other transverse and longitudinal edges 14, 13. Is preferably a square right corner.

The longitudinal edges 13 that are not perpendicular may be formed in three ways: rounded longitudinal edges 13 are formed; A sloped longitudinal edge 13 is formed; Or each sidewall 9, 10 or 11 bounded by the longitudinal edges 13 has one or more outwardly convex half-profiles and is bounded by the longitudinal edges 13. Connected to other adjacent sidewalls 9, 10, or 11, which, together with adjacent sidewalls 9, 10, or 11, form respective substantially obtuse backside angles (in this case, longitudinal edges 13 are angular). Corners}.

The transverse edges 14 that are not perpendicular may be formed in four ways, that is, rounded transverse edges 14 are formed; A sloped transverse edge 14 is formed; Each sidewall 9, 10 or 11 bounded by the transverse edge 14 has at least one outwardly convex half profile and adjacent end walls 7 bounded by the transverse edge 14. Or 8) and together with these adjacent end walls 7 or 8 form each substantially obtuse backside angle (in this case the transverse edge 14 is an angular edge); Or adjacent sidewalls 9, 10 or each end wall 7 or 8 bounded by transverse edges 14, having one or more convex half profiles, bordered by transverse edges 14, or 11 and together with the adjacent side walls 9, 10, 11 form each substantially obtuse backside angle (in this case the transverse edge 14 is a angular edge).

Given the many advantages of the cigarette pack 1 described above, the form of the cigarette pack 1 also differs from the cigarette pack 1 described above, except that it accommodates a group of packs of cigarettes, unlike a group of cigarettes. The same applies to the production of substantially identical cartons of cigarettes.
