Description

Slide and shell container with ledge with jaw

The present invention relates to a container for bar-shaped consumer products, particularly smoking articles such as cigarettes.

In the prior art, means for lifting consumable items in the container, particularly means for lifting smoking articles such as cigarettes and cigars, are known.

In general, packaging of smoking articles, especially long-bar shaped consumer products such as cigarettes, tends to be very small. This helps to protect the contents of the package sufficiently, reduce the amount of material needed, and reduce costs and waste. Nonetheless, taking the first consumer item out of a full pack, especially a smoking article, is the result of a frictional force that can negatively affect the quality of the consumer item when it is removed, It requires a greater force than that. Therefore, some consumers try not to catch the filter end of the smoking article.

Prior art discloses a container for smoking articles. Depending on the structure of the container, the size of the container in the longitudinal direction of the smoking article is longer than the length of the smoking article, so that the smoking article can move up and down in the container. A step is provided on the bottom surface and under the opening of the container, with the container being waved, the smoking article is arranged on the steps and protrudes through the opening, which can be caught by the consumer.

The flap connected to the slide can engage the article when the slide is lifted by pulling the gripping means. As a result, the article can be lifted out of the box.

GB 1 375 393 A discloses a dispenser for an article, such as a cigarette, and is provided with a slider-shaped ejection device with a built-in arm for engaging a cigarette in the box.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved way of removing one or more bar consumer articles from the container.

According to the present invention, there is provided a container for a bar-size consumable product, the container having an opening in the top wall and a container provided with a ledge disposed below the opening, It is applied so as to move vertically between the state and the raised state. The container has an inner slide and an outer shell, the slide being arranged to move vertically within the shell, the shell having a tuck, the slide having an upper wall with an opening, The jaw protrudes into the slide through a cut-out. The cutout may be formed by a cut line in the developed view, or it may be any other type of opening. In particular, the shell has a bottom and side walls.

Because the top wall can move vertically, the position of the consumer article within the container relative to the height or jaw of the container can vary, and when the top wall is raised, at least one consumer article Can be placed in the jaw by shaking or tilting the container. When the upper wall is returned to the lowered state, at least one consumer item remains on the jaw and protrudes through the opening formed on the jaw. Thereby, at least one consumer item can be held by the consumer. Other consumables are covered by the top wall and remain protected and safely stored inside the container.

It is to be understood that the terms such as "front," " back, "" top, "" bottom," " side, ""Quot; refers to a container in an upright position with an opening at the top. The terms "left" and "right" are used to denote the left and right walls of the container when viewed from the front, where the container is standing vertically. The container-housed consumer article can be removed from the upper end of the container. The term "in the longitudinal direction " refers to a direction from bottom to top or vice versa. That is, the vertical direction forming the height of the container in the straight line direction. The term "traversing " refers to a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction across the front wall or back wall.

The bar food consumables in particular extend substantially in the longitudinal direction of the container. The size of the opening is preferably at least the size of the projection of the jaw in the direction from the opening to the jaw. In particular, the size of the opening is substantially equal to or slightly larger than the cross-section of the consumable article. Preferably, the consumable article is a cylindrical shape having a circular cross section. In particular, consumer products are smoking products in the form of cigarettes.

Preferably, in the raised state, the longitudinal length between the upper end of the jaw and the upper wall is longer than the length of the bargain consumer article, at least one consumer article can be placed in the jaw, At least one consumer item is disposed in the jaw and protrudes through the opening in the top wall. Thus, the upper wall in the raised state allows the consumer to move the jaws up.

In one embodiment, the container has an inner slide and an outer shell, the slide being disposed in the shell to move vertically, one of the slide or shell having a jaw, and the other of the slide and shell having an opening And a top wall. The jaws may be included or added to the slide or shell.

In particular, the shell at least partially surrounds the slide.

The shell may have an open bottom, while having a top wall and a side wall, wherein the slide may have a bottom wall and at least one side wall and a jaw. Thus, the height of the container can be varied such that when the top wall, i. E. The shell, is lifted against the slide, at least one consumer item can be placed in the jaw.

Preferably, the slide has a bottom wall with a cutout for the jaws of the shell. In particular, the removed portion may also extend to at least one side wall, preferably two adjacent side walls of the slide. The slide preferably has at least one sidewall connecting the bottom wall and the top wall.

In particular, the jaws may be formed with the folded edges of the shell. The cut may be formed extending perpendicularly to the vertically extending edge of the shell, and the shell portion under the cut may be folded toward the inside of the shell to provide a jaw. Alternatively, the jaws may be formed of additional elements or flaps attached to vertically extending edges of the shell.

In one embodiment, the two parallel portions of the cutout are provided in an extended shell beyond the edge of a vertically extending shell, wherein a portion of the shell between the cut lines can be folded toward the inside of the shell, can do. Thus, the lower end of the edge of the shell with the jaws will remain in the distal position. This can improve the stability of the container when it is in a standing position, preferably in a vertical position.

In another embodiment, an elastic element is provided under the consumer article. Preferably, the resilient element is adapted to deflect the consumable article towards the moveable top wall. In this embodiment, the top wall moving towards the lowered state compresses the elastic element. In addition, the consumer item can also be moved to a lowered state, except for one or more consumer items in the jaw, which are left in the initial position, and protrude from the opening of the upper wall when the upper wall is moved down. When the top wall is released, the resilient element applied underneath the consumer item is pushed back up the top wall. The elastic element can be, for example, a spring or a block of foamable material. Preferably, a movable bottom is provided between the elastic element and the consumable article.

In one embodiment, the resilient means is provided between the bottom wall of the shell and the bottom wall of the slide. Preferably, the resilient means provides a force to lift the top wall, and in particular, a force is provided that moves the bottom wall of the slide away from the bottom wall of the shell. The elastic means may in particular be a spring or a foamable material block. The releasable locking means can receive the slide in the lowered state. In particular, the consumer operates a releasable locking mechanism, for example a relative movement of the slide relative to the shell or a releasable locking mechanism by means of a pressure exerted on the container wall, wherein the elastic element is lifted for a lifting slide Provide strength.

In another embodiment, the resilient means is provided with a force to lower the upper wall in a lowered state, and the container automatically returns to the initial position.

In one embodiment, the shell has a cutout for allowing the consumer to grip the slide. Thus, if the cutouts are equally placed in the shell, the consumer can grip the front or back wall side of the slide. In particular, the cutout on the opposite wall of the shell can be provided so that the slide can be held on two opposite sides. Therefore, the movement of the slide by the cutout means can be made more easily by the consumer, and especially because of the elastic means, no other force can be applied to the slide.

In one embodiment, the stop means can be completely stopped in the raised state of the upper wall, and the upper wall is in the raised end position in the raised state. In particular, a complete stop prevents the upper wall from being lifted further than in a raised state. Moreover, a completely stopped also remains locked until the top wall is locked in the raised position and any force is applied to the slide or shell to lower the top wall.

Completely stopping prevents the container from being inadvertently disassembled. In particular, flaps provided in shells and slide sidewalls extending in different directions, and adapted to be meshed with each other in the raised state, can constitute a stop means.

In one embodiment, the container has a plurality of consumable articles extending in the longitudinal direction of the vertically standing container, the width and depth of the container being smaller than the longitudinal dimension of the consumable article. The vertical length of the consumer product is the main extension direction of the bargain consumer goods. In particular, the consumer items are arranged in the longitudinal direction extending substantially in the vertical direction. This form of container prevents the consumer article from being tumbled in the container or provided in a disordered manner, even when the container is nearly empty. In addition, the shape of such a container is provided in the desired longitudinal direction beside the jaw so as to facilitate the subsequent arrangement of the consumables in the jaw.

In one embodiment, the jaws are disposed adjacent to the two side walls of the vessel. In particular, the jaws are disposed on a fold line that forms the edge of the container.

The distance from the bottom of the container to the jaw is less than or equal to the relative distance of the top wall in the raised condition, preferably in the substantially lowered condition, when the top wall is in the lowered condition. Thus, the projecting length of the consumer article through the opening of the top wall in the lowered state is substantially less than or equal to the height of the jaw. Moreover, other jaws having different heights may be provided, and various consumables may be provided through one or several openings of the top wall at different elevational heights.

In one embodiment, the size of the jaws is such that only one consumer article with a longitudinal axis extending in the vertical direction can be placed thereon. At this time, the operation of the rising function of each container provides a separate consumer product so that the consumer can easily catch it. However, in other embodiments, various consumer products with longitudinal axes extending in parallel may also be disposed in the jaws. In particular, two, three, four, five or more consumer items can be placed in one jaw at the same time.

In one embodiment, additional sidewalls are provided that are located between the container outer sidewall and the consumable article, and the additional sidewall is adapted to move toward the jaw. This facilitates moving the consumer item to the jaws when the top wall is in the raised position. In some embodiments, the consumer can move the movable side wall. Therefore, an opening is provided in the outer shell, in particular for allowing the consumer to access the side wall of the slide. The movement of the sidewall moves particularly in a direction substantially perpendicular to the lifting direction of the top wall between the bottom and the raised state.

Alternatively, by providing a movable side wall, the consumer article can be moved to the jaw only by gravity, especially by tilting the container.

In one embodiment, the resilient means is provided between the additional sidewall and the container outer sidewall, and the resilient element is adapted to exert a resilient force on the movable sidewall in the direction of the jaw. The resilient means may in particular be a spring or a foam material block. Preferably, the movable side wall is a portion of the slide, and the resilient means is disposed between the slide and the parallel side wall of the shell.

In one embodiment, the opening of the top wall is covered by a lid, operable in accordance with the movement of the top wall. In particular, the meaning of "operable" means that the lid is opened by force applied by the protruding consumer item lifted through the opening, or applied by the relative movement of the top wall to the remaining portion of the container . In particular, the lid is a lid which can be moved by a hinge at one edge of the opening.

Fig. 1 shows a container 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The container has a shell (2) and a slide (3) slidably disposed in the longitudinal direction (100) in the shell (2). The shell 2 is composed of four side walls: a front side wall 4, a left side wall 5, a right side wall 6 (see FIG. 3), a rear side wall and a bottom wall 7. In particular, the shell 2 is open at the top and the container 1 is closed at the top by the top wall 8 of the slide 3 provided with the opening 9, however. The top wall 8 forms the top wall of the container. The openings 9 are arranged at two adjacent upper edges of the top wall 8. The shell 2 is further provided with a cut-out 10 at the top of the front side wall 4 and the cutout may also be provided on the rear side wall of the shell 2 in some embodiments. The cutout 10 may at least hold one side wall of the slide 3, i.e. the front side wall 11, in some embodiments the rear side wall. A ledge 12 is provided below the vertically extending edge portion between the side walls 4, 5 of the shell 2. In particular, the jaw 12 is formed by two parallel cuts 13, 14 extending generally perpendicularly to the edges of the shell 2. Thus, the side walls 4, 5 of the shell 2 can be folded inwardly and project into the slide 3, so that at least one consumer article 15, in particular in the form of a smoking article, A jaw 12 is formed at a place where it can be arranged in the form of a cigarette.

In Fig. 1, the container 1 is shown before the lifting process. The slide 3 and the upper wall 8 forming the upper wall of the container 1 are in a lowered state. In Fig. 2, the slide 3 is in the lowered state, but the consumable article 15 has already been lifted.

A further detailed process of the lifting process and the container 10 will now be described with reference to Figures 3 and 4, in which the schematic cross-section of the container 1 is shown.

As shown in Fig. 1, the beginning of the step is to hold the slide 3 while the consumer grasps the shell 2 and lifts the slide 3, and the upper wall 8 is in the raised state . The slide 3 also has an upper wall 8 and has a front side wall 11 and a rear side wall as well as a left side wall 16 and a right side wall 17 and a bottom wall 18. 3, the bottom wall 18 is at least substantially in the vertical longitudinal direction 100 at the bottom wall 7 of the shell 2 and at the top edge of the jaw 12, Lt; / RTI > Thus, in this raised arrangement, the consumer article 15 can move in the transverse direction 200 and at least one consumer article 15 is disposed in the jaw 12. [ The movement of the consumable article 15 can be made by gravity. That is, this can be achieved by slightly lowering the container side where the jaw 12 is applied, or by accelerating by shaking or tapping the container 1.

The consumer 15 will not be able to move over the jaw 12 because the bottom end is lower than the jaw 12 while the top wall 8 of the slide 3 is not consumed Thereby preventing movement of the article 15 to the upper portion.

The inner slide 3 is constituted by a cutout 19 which at least allows the jaw 12 to protrude from the slide 3 in the lowered state of the slide 3. [ Thus, the cutout 19 allows relative vertical movement of the slide 3 relative to the shell 2.

The start of the step of the container 1 as shown in Figure 3 is such that the at least one consumer article 15 is placed on the jaw 12 and the slide 3 is moved back down to a lowered position, . Thus, all the consumables disposed below the upper wall 8 of the slide 3, which are not disposed on the jaw 12, will move with the slide 3 in a lowered state, The deployed at least one consumer article 15 will remain on the chin 12 in a lowered state and will protrude through the opening 9 provided in the upper wall 8 of the slide 3. [ Thus, the consumer article 15 has the arrangement as shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 2 and at least one consumer article 15 protrudes through the opening 9 so that it can be easily caught by the consumer.
