SEPARATOR FOR USE IN PACKETS OF PAPERS
Field of Invention
The present invention relates to a separator for use in packets of papers.
Description of the Prior Art
Problems often arise in packets of papers such as cigarette, rolling papers when the packets have two windows. This is because once a number of papers have been removed, the protruding papers ends can fall inside the packet, due to the papers slipping away from the windows. This results in significant difficulty in extracting the remaining papers undamaged.
Brief Summary of the Invention
It is an object of the present invention to provide a separator which will overcome the above disadvantage or which will at least provide the public with a useful choice.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a packet of papers including at least two windows in a wall thereof through which windows papers can be dispensed, the packet of papers incorporating a separator, the separator comprising a folded resilient sheet with at least five generally

parallel folds formed substantially perpendicular to a side edge of the sheet, wherein a separator fold forms a separator apex and two of the other folds form side apexes, wherein the separator fold is adapted to fit between adjacent windows in the packet of papers and the side apexes are adapted to fit under the windows, so that stacks of papers placed on each side of the separator apex are forced towards the windows.
The folds can be substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal side edges of the separator.
The folds can be positioned at points substantially 20%, 40%, 50%, 60% and 80% across the sheet.
The separator can be folded upwards along the folds at points substantially 20%, 50% and 80% across the sheet.
The separator can be made of any suitable material such as a plastics or cardboard material. The material is preferably inexpensive to produce, biodegradable and resilient.
The separator can be used in any packet where two or more windows are provided through which papers are extracted. Preferably, the separator is used in packets of cigarette rolling papers.
Brief Description of Drawings
Further aspects of the invention will become apparent from the following description which is given by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:

Detailed Description
Referring firstly to Figures 1 and 2, it will be seen that the separator 1 is a folded sheet. Folds 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are perpendicular to the longitudinal side edge of the sheet 1. The folds are preferably made at points substantially 20%, 40%, 50%, 60% and 80% across the sheet. However, it is to be appreciated that these positions can be varied without departing from the scope of the invention.
When the sheet is folded, apexes are formed at fold points 2, 4 and 6.
In use, the separator 1 is placed under windows 7 and 8 in a packet 9, so the apex at foldline 4 is in the centre of the packet 9, locating the papers 10 in their individual stacks.
When the packet of papers is new, the full stacks of papers force the apexes formed at the folds 2 and 6, to lie substantially flat. As papers are used from the packet 9, pressure from the resilient apexes at foldlines 2 and 6, holds the diminishing stacks of papers 10 against the windows 7 and 8 in the packet 9.
To optimise the pressure exerted at the apexes at fold lines 2 and 6 the length of these folds may be reduced by appropriately chamfering the four corners of the separator. Accordingly, the papers 10 will be able to be extracted more consistently through the windows 7 and 8.

It will be appreciated the separator may be constructed from any suitable material. However, resilient plastic materials and cardboard are preferred.
It will also be appreciated that the separator can be used in any packet where two or more windows are provided to extract goods such as sheets of paper.
It will thus be seen that the present invention provides a separator for use in packets of papers.
Where in the aforegoing description, reference has been made to integers or components having known equivalents, then such equivalents are herein incorporated as if individually set forth.
Although this invention has been described by way of example and with reference to possible embodiments thereof, it is to be appreciated that improvements and/or modifications may be made thereto without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention as described herein and in the appended claims.
