Description

[0001] Container with slidable lid and lifting feature [0002]

The present invention relates to a bar-shaped article container such as a smoking article.

The present invention relates to a bar-shaped article container such as a smoking article.

For example, WO-A-2004/089785 discloses a smoking article container in which the leads are attached to connecting means capable of sliding (sliding) so that the lid of the container and the box slide relative to each other.

Today, the bulky items such as smoking articles are packed very tightly. Particularly, smoking articles such as cigarettes are packed in a very dense manner. Compressed packaging properly protects the product from the container and reduces the amount of essential packaging material. This has the effect of reducing the cost of the packaging material. However, there is a problem that it is difficult to take out the first article from a container full of articles.

International patent application WO-A-2011/012235 discloses a smoking article container with lifting means having a fastening part for engaging a part of the smoking article.

However, it is still necessary to develop an article container which can easily provide a bar-shaped article. Moreover, there is a need to introduce new ways of providing goods to consumers.

It is necessary to develop an article container capable of easily providing a bar-shaped article. Moreover, there is a need to introduce new ways of providing goods to consumers.

According to the present invention, there is provided a bar-shaped article container including a box and a lead. The container includes an opening at the top. The container further includes a sheet-like connecting means connected to the lead, wherein the sheet-like connecting means can slide vertically with respect to the box such that the lead and the connecting means move from the lower position to the upper position. According to the invention, the connecting means is adapted to vertically lift at least one bar-shaped article by a predicted distance when the lid moves from the lower position to the upper position. Thus, the operation of the connecting means causes the lifting action of the container lid and at the same time lifts the bar-shaped article.

Preferably, the connecting means is adapted to lift the at least one bar-shaped article vertically about 0.5 cm to about 3 cm. Preferably, the connecting means is adapted to vertically lift about 5% to about 40% of the length of the bar-like article. Vertically lifting the at least one bar-shaped article by the distance advantageously increases the exposed surface of the bar-like article so that the consumer can more easily catch the bar-shaped article.

Preferably, the sheet-like connecting means consists of a blank comprising a panel which rests against each other through a folding line. In particular, the connecting means is completely disposed in the container. In one embodiment, the connecting means is adapted to be fastened to the bar-like article at the bottom. However, in other embodiments, the connecting means is fastened to the bar-like article at the side wall or top of the bar-like article. In particular, the connecting means can be fastened to the bar-shaped article in one step at the nappe of the bar-shaped article, such as at the end of a tipping paper of a smoking article, for example.

The connecting means may preferably be adapted to fasten one, two, three, four, five, six or more barrels, in particular smoking articles. In particular, the connecting means may be adapted to be fastened with one row of aligned rod-shaped articles in the vessel. One or more bar stocks that are at least partially lifted may be more easily accessible to consumers. Advantageously, the rolled up barrel product exposes more surface to the consumer. At the same time, the frictional force between the lifted and remaining barrels is reduced.

The terms "front", "back", "upper", "lower", "side", " Quot; top, " " bottom, " and other terms are used to describe a container in a raised condition, including a lead on top. The terms " left " and " right " are used with reference to the left side wall and the right side wall of the container when viewed from the right slightly above the container. When the container is opened in a raised state, the smoking article in the box can be removed from the top of the container. The term " longitudinal " means the direction from the bottom to the top, or vice versa, which is the vertical direction defining the height of the vessel in the raised state. The term " transverse " means a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction across the front wall or back wall, which is the horizontal direction defining the width of the container in its raised state, Or a horizontal direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction across the left side wall or right side wall, which is the horizontal direction defining the depth of the container in a raised state.

The term " hinge line " refers to a line in which the lead hinges to open the container. The hinge line may be, for example, a fold line or a score line of the connecting means or lead of the container. Instead, the hinge line may be a tangent line or a score line at a portion of the material connecting the lower edge of the rear wall surface of the lead and the upper edge of the connecting means. Such a material may be, for example, a label permanently or removably attached to the rear wall of the lid and the connecting means. Preferably, the hinge line may be located along the rear wall surface of the container.

The box and lid of the container can be formed by folding a blank comprising several panels, respectively. The leads and the connecting means may be formed by one blank, or the leads may be attached to the connecting means. In particular, the lid can be connected to the connecting means by means of a glue-coated piece attached to both the lid and the connecting means and to form a hinge line between the connecting means and the lid. Instead, the connecting means may comprise a lid fixing panel suspended from the central panel of the connecting means to pivot, wherein the lid is attached to the lid fixing panel. Attachment can be made by an adhesive.

In one embodiment, the container is adapted to prevent the lid from rotating axially in the lower position.

Thus, in this embodiment, in order to open the container, at least one bar-shaped article is already lifted when the consumer pivots the lead when the consumer first raises the lid before rotating the lid axially. In particular, in the lower position, which is the first position, the closed lid is fastened to the box such that the lid is not axially rotatable, whereas in the upper position, which is the second position, the container can be opened by axial rotation of the lid relative to the connection. For this purpose, the lid engages the inner frame attached to the box in the lower position and reaches the box in the lower position.

When the rod-like article is automatically lifted with the lead, the lid covers the rod-like article during the lifting process, so that the consumer can obtain a remarkable effect and, when the lid is opened in the raised position, The smoking article is already lifted.

In another embodiment, the container is adapted to be opened by pivoting the lid against the connecting means at the lower and upper positions of the lid. Thus, the consumer can choose whether to open the lid by axial rotation or first to push the lid vertically upwards. The consumer can open the lid of the container by hinging without sliding characteristics. This design, which allows at least one rod-like article to be lifted together with the connection means, or to open the lead simply by axially rotating to catch at least one rod-shaped article, gives the consumer a choice.

In one embodiment, the connecting means comprises a center panel, the lid hanging on the top of the center panel and pivoted. The central panel preferably has at least one zone, the width of which corresponds substantially to the width in the box. The leads may be secured with a lid-retaining panel suspended along the fold line of the central panel. In particular, the lid can be fixed with an adhesive to the lid fixing panel. Alternatively, the connecting means and the leads may be formed from one blank and hang from each other through a fold line that forms a hinge line.

Preferably, the central panel of the connecting means is arranged in parallel adjacent the inner surface of the box rear wall surface. Thus, the central panel can essentially narrow the space required. Moreover, the rear wall surface can help the center panel to be movable.

In one embodiment, at least one engagement flap is suspended from the center panel along a fold line and is adapted to engage with at least one bar-shaped article in the container. The fastening flaps are disposed at various positions that participate in the vertical extension of the central panel when engaged in the nep of the bar-shaped article.

Preferably, the at least one fastening flap is suspended from the lower surface of the center panel, and the fastening flap is adapted to engage with the lower end surface of the at least one bar-shaped article. The fastening flap on the underside of the central panel is provided adjacent the bottom wall so that it can be fastened to the bottom end of the bar-like article next to the box bottom wall. This provides security engagement and may be useful for lifting at least one bar stock.

In one embodiment, the fastening flap extends along the entire width of the central panel. In particular, the central panel has at least a lower portion and the lower portion of the central panel has a substantially box width. Thus, the entire row of the bar-shaped article adjacent the fastening flap can be lifted by engagement with the fastening flap. In general, the fastening flap extends only to some row of the bar-shaped article adjacent the fastening flap such that one or several bar-shaped articles in the row adjacent the fastening flap are lifted. Alternatively or additionally, the fastening flap further extends into the box to allow the bar-shaped article not directly adjacent the fastening flap to be lifted. For example, in a container having a bar-like article arranged in three rows, the fastening flap may be used to separate the three bar-like articles in the back row, that is, the bar- It can be done to raise two pieces and one bar item in the first row. It goes without saying that numerous implementations can be realized.

In one embodiment, the side flaps hang from the transverse edge of the central panel and extend at least partially parallel to the side walls of the box. The lateral edges of the center panel are generally the edges of the center panel which are disposed close to the respective side walls of the box. The side flaps are preferably at least partially adjacent and parallel to the left or right side walls of the box. Moreover, the side flaps can be disposed on both side walls of the central panel, and therefore extend partially parallel to both the left side wall and the right side wall of the box. In particular, the side flaps can be provided in a slit formed between a guiding panel and one side of the box. The guide panel may in particular be provided by an inner frame arranged in the box. In particular, the slit may be formed between the edge of the inner wall provided by the inner frame and the box rear wall surface.

In one embodiment, the side flaps can be connected to at least one fastening flap. Thus, the fastening flap is more stable, and such fastening flap can provide sufficient force to lift the bar-shaped article. Preferably, the locking flap extends substantially horizontally.

In particular, the side flap may be connected to the fastening flap by a contact means. The connection between the side flap and the locking flap may be through a connecting tab. The connecting tab hanging on the locking flap can be connected to the side flap, or the connecting tab hanging on the side flap can be connected to the locking flap. The connection tab can be made by an adhesive means. The connection tabs may be suspended from the fastening flaps or side flaps or both. The connection between the side flap and the fastening flap provides additional stability. In particular, both side flaps can be connected to one fastening portion. This type of connection is preferably longer than the entire width of the lower end of the central panel.

In some embodiments, the center panel acquires an increased friction portion. For example, the increased friction portion can be provided to a low viscosity glue, embossing or textured felt. The increased friction can increase the friction between the lifted article and the connecting means. This can distribute the force for lifting one or more bar-shaped articles between the connecting means and the fastening flap. Moreover, the increased frictional force between the central panel and the bar-like article of one of its movements in the increased friction portion is independent of the direction of operation of the connecting means, so that the increased friction portion is useful for moving the bar- . The increased frictional force between the increased friction portion and the bar-like article can somewhat increase the overall force for retrieving the raised bar-like article or articles. Nevertheless, the additional penetration force can be easily overcome by opening the box and increasing surface exposure when the rod-shaped article is at least partially lifted.

In some embodiments, the inner frame is disposed within the box, and the connecting means and the inner frame are adjusted such that a dead stop (or stop at the lifted point) for the connecting means is provided by the inner frame. Preferably, the maximum lifting height is up to about 30 mm. The dead stop can be defined by the length of the slit previously predicted in the inner frame guiding the side flap. Instead, the connecting means may have a protrusion engaging with the protruding portion of the box. The protrusions may be provided by a flap of the panel attached to the box surface or to the connecting means, in particular for folding and fastening together, or for forming steps. The dead stop may be provided by an inner frame including a side wall and a rear wall surface and a side flap of the connecting means is provided between the side wall of the inner frame and the rear wall of the box until it is engaged with the rear wall of the inner frame.

In one embodiment, the rear wall of the box includes a substantially rectangular recess and has a width of the hinge line connecting the connecting means and the lead. This facilitates the guide of the connecting means.

Alternatively or additionally, the inner frame of the box provides a recess. In this embodiment, the inner frame is fixed to the inner surface of the box in particular. This recess may be formed between two panels of the inner frame, which are provided on the opposite surface at mutual distance of the rear wall surfaces.

Preferably, the inner frame is provided in the box and protrudes beyond the upper edge of the outer box wall. Therefore, the inner frame is disposed closer to the inner wall of the box than the remaining outer wall of the box. The leads are disposed on the inner frame so that the lead walls align with the box outer walls. Preferably, the lower edge of the lead is adjacent to the upper edge of the box outer wall along at least a portion of the container, for example along each of the left wall, right wall, rear wall or front wall of the panel. Alternatively or additionally, all vertical box walls may have the same height. Thus, the container has a single line connected at the same height along the entire container.

Alternatively or additionally, one or more cut-outs may be provided on the edges of the lead face or box wall so that the inner frame can be seen through the cut-out even when the leads are in the lower position. Thus, additional design elements such as prints on the inner frame can be made visible to the consumer.

In one embodiment, the engagement means are arranged vertically in the connecting means and sliding, wherein the fastening means is adapted to engage and slide with respect to the at least one bar-like article, Wherein the fastening means is adapted to fasten and move the connecting means during the second stage of the lifting operation of the connecting means to lift the at least one bar-shaped article. Thus, the fastening means lifts at least one bar-shaped article only after it has contacted the dead stop at its sliding end with respect to the connecting means. In particular, the fastening means substantially leave the article during the first stage of the lifting operation of the connecting means. If the fastening means leaves the article only for the lifting action half in the direction of the connecting means, each of the rod-like articles is lifted up against the action of the connecting means. Thus, in particular, different lifting heights of the plurality of rod-shaped articles can be obtained for a given lifting height of the connecting means by providing several fastening means depending on the maximum vertical sliding difference.

In another embodiment, the additional sliding means may be provided to be engaged by the connecting means after a certain distance operation of the connecting means. Here, the additional sliding means provides fastening means for lifting at least one bar-shaped article. In particular, the side flaps of the connecting means can engage with additional sliding means.

In one embodiment, the fastening means is suspended from the side flap, especially in the fastening flap. This allows the barrels to be lifted well from the side walls of the container. The fastening means may be associated with a separate fastening flap that is not connected to the center panel. Moreover, the fastening flap is connected to the two side flaps, for example in the container box, to lift the middle or first row of the bar-shaped article.

In one embodiment, the front panel is suspended from the front wall surface of the side flap and extends parallel to and adjacent the inner surface of the front wall surface of the box, and the fastening means is provided in front of the front panel. Therefore, at least some of the bar-like articles in the front row or the front row of the bar-like article can be fastened and lifted by the fastening means. The fastening means can slide in the front wall panel in a similar manner, as in one embodiment arranged to slide. Thus, various lifting heights are possible. The fastening means may in particular be a fastening flap hanging on the lower end of the front panel.

In particular, the rod-shaped article can be packaged in an inner liner that facilitates packaging of the rod-shaped article in the container, wherein the rod-shaped article can be provided in a bundle. The rod-like article is preferably a smoking article, for example a cigarette. In particular, the innerliner can be made of aluminum foil, a metal foil or other sheet-like collapsible material. In one embodiment, the connecting means may be provided at least partially between the inner liner, i.e., the inner liner and the bar-shaped article. However, in an optimal embodiment, the connecting means is disposed between the box and the inner liner. To emphasize the lifting characteristics, particularly the relative vertical movement for each of the bar-shaped articles, the inner liner may provide a cutting line or a weakening line, such as a scoring line or a partial cutting line. In particular, a cutting line or weakening line may be provided around the end of the fastening means or fastening flap. Thus, lifting of at least one bar-shaped article comprised in the inner liner is possible with other bar-like articles that are not lifted.

Preferably, the inner frame is mounted within the box, wherein the inner frame extends above the upper edge of the at least one front wall surface of the box of the container. The inner frame is therefore visible to the consumer when the lead is opened. The front wall surface of the inner frame may be the same as or different from the display printed on the front wall surface of the box. Alternatively or additionally, the front wall surface of the inner frame can be cut into a unique shape, for example, reflecting the brand of the bar-shaped article. If desired, the inner frame may include a weakening line for flattening the container.

Preferably, the front wall surface of the inner frame is provided with a cutout portion at the upper end of the inner frame. This makes the bar-shaped article in the container easily accessible without substantially reducing the surface of the front wall surface of the inner frame.

Alternatively or additionally to the inner frame, the bar-like article in the container can be packaged with an innerliner, which is visible on the upper end of the front wall of the box and on the front wall of the inner frame (if present) when the container is opened.

The container according to the present invention may be in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped having right and left vertical and horizontal edges. Alternatively, the container may include one or more rounded horizontal and vertical edges or inclined horizontal and vertical edges, or blended edges thereof. With respect to the beveled edge, the beveled edge can be formed from two parallel fold lines or two non-parallel fold lines. For example, two non-parallel fold lines may be convex and concave fold lines, and a lens-shaped bevel may be formed. In general, the two non-parallel fold lines may be triangular or rhombic slopes. In order to eliminate the possibility of doubt, slope edges may include slope areas and non-slope areas along corners.

For example, a container according to the present invention may include, without limitation, the following:

One or two rounded or inclined longitudinal edges on the front wall, and / or

The invention is described in more detail with reference to the drawings. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

1, a container according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown on the side wall. The container (1) comprises a lid (2) located above the box (3). The outside of the container (1) is the same as or similar to the standard tobacco package. However, the lid 2 can slide in the vertical slide direction 100 to a second lifted position as shown in Fig. 2 at the lowest first position, as shown in Fig. The box 3 includes an inner frame 4 disposed in the outer wall of the box 3 and projects in the vertical direction from the outer wall of the remaining box 3. In particular, the inner frame 4 is formed from a separate space rather than the remaining box 3. Preferably, the inner frame 4 is fixed to the inside of the outer wall of the box by an adhesive means.

The container box 3 includes a front wall surface 5, a left wall surface, a right wall surface 6, a rear wall surface 7, and a bottom surface 8. The lead 2 includes a lead front wall surface 9, a lead right wall surface 10, a lead left wall surface, a lead top surface 11 and a lead rear wall surface 12. The inner frame 4 has a front wall surface 13, a right wall surface 14, a right rear wall surface 15, a left wall surface 16 and a left rear wall surface 17 (see FIG. The right rear wall surface 15 and the left rear wall surface 17 are arranged with a certain distance therebetween so that a slit is provided between the right rear wall surface 15 and the left rear wall surface 17, And extends from the upper side of the inner frame 4 to the upper side of the outer rear wall 7. The right rear wall surface 15 and the left rear wall surface 17 are provided on the upper portion of the right side wall surface 14 and the left side wall surface 16 of the inner frame 4 and the right side wall surface 14 of the inner frame 4, And the left side wall surface 16 in the vertical direction.

The inner frame front wall surface 13 is disposed adjacent to the box front wall surface 5 and fixed with the same adhesive means. Similarly, inner frame right sidewall 14 is disposed internally adjacent to box right sidewall 6 and inner frame left sidewall 16 is disposed adjacent to the box in the left sidewall. Both the right rear wall surface 15 and the left rear wall surface 17 are disposed adjacent to the box rear wall surface 7. Thus, a small step with a thickness height of the empty box is provided on the upper edge of the outer box surfaces 5, 6, 7. The lid 2 may be provided with a container 1 having a flush outer wall with a width and a depth substantially similar to that of the box 3. [

The leads 2 slide with respect to the inner frame 4 of the box 3, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 in two differently positioned leads. When the lid 2 is in the lifted second position as shown in Fig. 2, it can rotate about the axis with respect to the box 3. Fig. In particular, a hinge line 18 is provided near the lower end of the lead rear wall 12.

When the inner frame 4 is disposed in front of the leads so that the leads are in the lowest position, the leads 2 can not be axially rotated with respect to the hinge lines 18. When the lid 2 is in the lifted second position, the inner frame 4 extends less to the lid 2 to enable axial rotation of the lid 2. Therefore, when the lid 2 is turned backward, the container 1 is opened as shown in Fig. Thus, a bar-like article 19, such as a smoking article, is accessible at the top of the container.

According to the invention, the lifting action of the lid 2 affects the lifting action of the at least one bar-like article 19, so that, as shown in figure 3, one bar- I will climb on the goods.
