Description

Hinge Lid Container with sliding emement

The present invention relates to a hinged lid container for a consumer article having a sliding member. This container has a particularly suitable use as a container for long smoking articles such as tobacco.

Techniques for packaging elongated smoking articles and other consumer articles in containers formed from folded lamina blanks are known. For example, long smoking articles, such as cigarettes or cigarettes, are usually sold in a hinged lid pack, which includes a box for accommodating smoking articles and a lid connected to the box by a hinge line extending across the rear wall of the container. do. Such packs are typically constructed from integral lamina cardboard blanks. In use, the lid is pivoted around the hinge line to open the pack and allows access to smoking articles contained in the box.

Sliding members and shell containers with or without hinged lids are also known. For example, US patents US-A-3858788 and US-A-3933299 describe a hinged lid container having an inner sliding member with a hinged lid received in an outer shell. The outer shell has the form of a sleeve surrounding the inner sliding member. When the outer shell and the inner sliding member move relative to each other, the lid is opened or closed. In this patent, the lid has a flap on the outside of the lid, which flaps engage the flap on the inner surface of the outer shell when the outer shell moves downward. The flap is pulled down with the outer cell, opening the lid. With this pack, the user must hold the box with one hand and move the sliding member with the other hand, or the box must be fixed to a solid surface while moving the sliding member.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a hinged lid container which can provide a new method for a consumer in taking out a consumer article contained in a container.

According to the present invention, there is provided a container for consumer goods having a housing having a box, a lid and a sliding member. The box has a box rear wall, a box upper wall, a first box side wall and a second box side wall. The first box side wall and the second box side wall each have elongated slits. These two long slits are substantially parallel. The lid is hingedly connected to the box along a hinge line extending across the box back wall. The sliding member is mounted to the elongated slit of the box sidewalls to move along the box sidewalls between the first closed position and the second open position. The lid has a lid flap. The lid flap is arranged between the box and the sliding member such that the engagement between the lid flap and the sliding member can open the lid. The lid flap may engage the sliding member during the movement of the sliding member from the first position to the second position.

In the container according to the invention, mounting a sliding member in the elongate slit in the housing provides an efficient way of limiting the movement of the sliding member relative to the housing. This is advantageous in that the sliding member is fixed in place in the container and prevented from moving accidentally from the container.

Moreover, since the sliding member is fixed in place in the container as a result of being mounted in the elongate slit, the sliding member covers only a part of the housing. Compared to the sliding member and the shell container according to the prior art, the requirement of the material is advantageous for producing the container according to the present invention. Further, compared to the sliding member and shell container according to the prior art, in the container according to the present invention, more space in the housing is available for consumer communication and will not be disturbed by the sliding member.

The container according to the invention has a sliding member which can move between the first position and the second position using one finger. In this case, it is advantageous to be able to open the container with only one hand.

The sliding member may be mounted in the two elongated slits using any suitable means or method. For example, the sliding member may be mounted to two elongated slits by inserting the fixing tab of the sliding member through at least one slit into the opposite side of the housing, such that the fixing tab of the sliding member cannot pass through the slit. Preferably, the sliding member has two fixing tabs inserted through the elongated slit and folded back to the inner surface of the box side wall toward the sliding member. If the housing is filled with consumables, such as a bundle of smoking articles, the fixing tab is preferably placed between the inner surface of the sliding member and the outer surface of the article of consumption.

Preferably, the ends of the two elongated slits determine the first and second positions of the sliding member. In the first position, the sliding member is located at one end of the two slits, and in the second position the sliding member is located at the opposite end of the two elongated slits. This structure is particularly simple and easy when moving the sliding member to the first or second position.

The terms "front", "rear", "top", "bottom", "side", "top", "bottom" and other terms are used to describe the relative position of the components of the container according to the invention, The container shows the upright position, the lid on the top and the hinge line on the back. When describing the container according to the invention these terms are used irrespective of the direction of the container.

The terms "left" and "right" are used when referring to the side wall of the container as viewed from above with the container upright. The term "lengthwise" refers to the direction from the bottom to the top or vice versa. The term "lateral direction" refers to a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

Similarly, the terms "upwardly" and "downwardly" are used to describe the movement of the sliding member relative to the housing of the container according to the invention with the container upright.

The term "hinge line" refers to the line through which the lid or hatch will pivot to open the container. For example, a hinge line is one in which a folded line or a partial cut line is formed in a panel forming the rear wall of the container. Optionally, the hinge line may be a folded line or a partial cut line at the portion of the material that connects the wall of the lid or hatch to the corresponding wall of the box. The portion of material may be, for example, a label permanently or detachably attached to the rear wall of the lid or the rear wall of the box.

Preferably, the two elongated slits are arranged perpendicularly or parallel to the longitudinal edge of the container.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, in the first position the sliding member is located at the upper end of the vertical elongated slit and in the second position the sliding member is located at the lower end thereof. Thus, in this embodiment, the sliding member moves downward to open the container and upward to close the container.

The lid of the housing of the container according to the invention can be rotated around a hinge line extending across the rear wall of the housing. The lid may be the entire upper part of the housing, or may be partially. For example, in a particularly preferred embodiment, the lid may form a top corner of the housing and pivot about a hinge line extending across the rear wall.

The housing of the container according to the invention houses smoking articles or other consumer articles to be provided in the container. In some embodiments of the invention, when the lid is closed, the housing will fully surround the consumer article received therein. In another embodiment of the invention, the housing is at least partially open at the front side such that the housing only partially surrounds the consumer article. In such an embodiment, the container preferably further comprises an outer sleeve covering any open side of the housing. It is preferred that the outer sleeve only partially surrounds the housing, so that the movement of the sliding member and the hinged lid is not disturbed.

Preferably, the container further comprises at least one friction member to increase the friction between the housing and the sliding member during the movement between the first and second positions of the sliding member. The friction member ensures that the sliding member is held in place until a force is exerted by the user. Thus, the risk of accidentally opening the container during use is reduced.

Alternatively or in addition to the at least one friction member, suitable fastening means may be provided to keep the container open or closed. For example, the fixing means may be provided with one or more magnets, Velcro ^® strips, low-viscosity adhesive, and the sliding member and the housing or recess or protrusion formed on the two.

Preferably, at least one wall of the sliding member has an inner panel and an outer panel. For example, the inner panel can be formed from one or more tabs extending from the edge of the outer panel and can be glued to the inner surface of the outer panel. The inner panel can strengthen the sliding member and reduce the wear of the rim of the sliding member. This wear occurs by moving the sliding member continuously. In addition, folding the inner panel inwards creates a printable visible outer border. This makes it possible to avoid cutting the rim so that it can be seen on the outer surface of the container.

In some embodiments of the container according to the invention, the box further comprises a box front wall facing the box rear wall. The housing further includes a second lid that can rotate about a second hinge line extending across the box front wall. The container further includes a second sliding member mounted in the elongated slit of the box sidewalls to move between the first position where the second lid is closed and the second position where the second lid is open.

In the container according to the invention with the first and second sliding members, the first sliding member can be mounted in the same elongate slit as the second sliding member. Optionally, the first sliding member can be mounted to one or more elongated slits on which the second sliding element is mounted and other elongated slits.

The first and second lids of the container according to the invention can be opened and closed independently of each other by the first and second sliding members, respectively. Thus, the smoking article or other consumer article in the housing can be taken out by opening the first lid or the second lid.

A container according to the invention with two lids, if necessary, can accommodate two types of consumables so that one can be taken out through the first lid and the other through the second lid. For example, the housing can accommodate two separate smoking articles, where the smoking article included in the first bundle may be the same as or different from the smoking article included in the second bundle. This structure provides the advantage that, if necessary, one bundle can be consumed while the other is still packaged.

The outer sleeve front wall 18 has a length substantially the same as the container 2, while the outer sleeve back wall 20 has a length of approximately one fifth the length of the container 2. The outer sleeve 10 does not cover a portion of the inner sleeve 12, which extends beyond the outer sleeve top wall 16, the outer sleeve sidewall 14 and the outer sleeve back wall 20. The uncovered portion provides sufficient space for the sliding member 6 to move.

The inner sleeve 12 has a box 21 and a lid 28. The box 21 defines a box first side wall 22, a box second side wall 24 opposite the box first side wall 22, an upper wall 26, a bottom wall 23, and a rear wall 25. Equipped. The box front of the inner sleeve 12 is open, allowing insertion of the packaged bundle 8 during assembly of the container 2.

Each first box side wall 22 and box second side wall 24 have a substantially vertical elongated slit 30 or cut. The elongated slits 30 have substantially the same length and width with respect to each other and are formed substantially opposite to each other.

The inner sleeve 12 further includes a lid 28. The lid 28 is hinged to the box rear wall 25 across the fold line hinge line 37, the lid rear wall 35, the lid top wall 31, and the two lid side walls 33. It is provided. The lid has an additional lid flap 45 (not shown in FIGS. 1 to 3) that extends past the position of the hinge line 37 and extends from the top of the lid back wall 25. The lid flap 45 includes a lid first flap panel 39, a lid second flap panel 32, and an open tab 34. The lid first flap panel 39 is connected to the rear end of the lid upper wall 31. The lid second flap panel 32 is suspended from the lid first flap panel 39 through a fold line at approximately the same position as the hinge line 37 of the box rear wall 20, and is attached to the hinge line 37. The lid 28, which is hinged against it, is rotatable. An open tab 34 is connected to the other end of the lid second flap panel 32, which is folded up approximately 180 degrees towards the outside. The purpose of the lid flap 45 is described in detail below.

The sliding member 6 has a sliding member first side wall 36, a sliding member second side wall 38 and a sliding member rear wall 41 opposite to the sliding member first side wall 36. The length of the sliding member is about 2/3 of the length of the elongated slit 30 of the inner sleeve 12. As can be seen in FIG. 3, the sliding member 6 has a pair of additional fixing tabs 40 extending from the sliding member first side wall 36 and the sliding member second side wall 38, respectively. These fixing tabs 40 are respectively folded inwardly by approximately 180 degrees toward the inner surface of the sliding member 6. During assembly of the container 2, the fastening tabs 40 are inserted through elongated slits 30 in the box side walls 22, 24 of the inner sleeve 12, respectively. The securing tab 40 thus lies between the inner sleeve 12 and the wrapped bundle 8.

The sliding member first side wall 36 and the sliding member second side wall 38 are made from the inner panel 43 and the outer panel 36, 38, respectively. Each inner panel 43 is formed from a pair of tabs extending from opposing upper and lower ends of the outer panels 36, 38 and attached to the inner surfaces of the outer panels 36, 38.

Once the container 2 is assembled, the sliding member 6 can move in the pair of elongated slits 30 between the closed position, the first position shown in FIG. 1 and the open position, the second position shown in FIG. have.

In the closed position, the sliding member 6 is moved as far as possible in the elongated slit 30. As shown in FIG. 1, when the sliding member 6 is in the closed position, it covers the hinged lid 37 of the hinged lid 28 and the box rear wall 20 so that the hinged lid 28 is hinged. It is impossible to rotate around the line 37. The upper edge of the sliding member 6 is at substantially the same height as the upper edge of the outer sleeve 10.

Conversely, in the open position, the sliding member 6 is moved as far down as possible in the elongate slit 30. As shown in FIG. 2, when the sliding member 6 is in the open position, its upper edge is positioned below the hinge line 37 of the box rear wall 20 so that the sliding member 6 is hinged lid ( 28) will not interfere with the opening.

The sliding member 6 has an open tab 42 extending from the upper edge of the sliding member rear wall 41 and folded about 180 degrees inward toward the inner surface of the sliding member 6. Once the container 2 is assembled, the open tab 42 of the sliding member 6 lies between the sliding member rear wall 41 and the lid rear wall 35.

In use, when the sliding member 6 moves downward from the closed position, the opening tab 42 of the sliding member 6 engages with the opening tab 34 of the lid flap 45. Then, the lid flap 45 is pulled down together with the sliding member 6 when moving to the open position shown in FIG. 2. Since the lid flap 45 is connected to the hinged lid 28, the downward movement of the lid flap 45 opens the hinged lid 28 of the inner sleeve 12. To enable the outward rotation of the hinged lid, the lid flap 45 is positioned between the lid first flap panel 39 and the lid second flap panel 32 when the sliding member 6 moves to the open position. Bend around the fold line. As the sliding member 6 moves further down, the lid flap 45 is bent more around the hinge line 37 and the angle of the hinged lid 28 from the closing position becomes larger.
