Package for rod tobacco articles

The present invention relates to a package for a rod-shaped tobacco article.

As a package (package) for a rod-shaped tobacco article for accommodating a rod-shaped tobacco article, a hinge-cap type package is widely known (for example, refer to Patent Documents 1, 2, etc.). The hinge cover type package is a box type package having a lid portion called a lid body that is openably and closably connected to the outer box. Such a hinge-lid type package is extremely popular for use in accommodating cigarettes.

Further, in recent years, a non-combustible rod-shaped tobacco article which does not burn tobacco leaves and can taste tobacco is also developed. For example, there is known a non-combustion type smoking article comprising: a heat source attached to a heat generating member at a front end; and a scented aroma generating material for holding the scented scented component on a suitable substrate, through heat generated by burning the heat source The aroma-smelting material is heated in a non-combustible manner to produce smoke containing aroma components. As a heat source installed at the front end of such a non-burning rod-shaped tobacco article, a carbon heat source forming a cylindrical shape is often used. For example, a carbon heat source can be obtained by forming a mixture containing high purity carbon particles, a nonflammable additive, an organic or inorganic binder, and water.

<Embodiment 1>

1 and 2 are perspective views of a package for a rod-shaped tobacco article (hereinafter simply referred to as "package") 1 for storing a bar-shaped tobacco article according to the first embodiment. The package 1 is a hinge cover type package including a package body 2 and a lid body 3 that is rotatably coupled to a lid portion of the package body 2 via a hinge.

Fig. 1 shows a state in which the package 1 in which the lid body 3 is in a closed state is viewed from the front side. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the package 1 in which the lid body 3 is in an open state as seen from the front side. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the package 1 of the first embodiment. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a package 1 of the first embodiment. Fig. 4 shows the A-A cross section shown in Fig. 3. Hereinafter, in the present specification, the front side of the package 1 is defined as "front", and the back side is defined as "rear".

The package main body 2 is a storage box in which a housing portion 2a for accommodating a rod-shaped tobacco article of an object to be stored is formed. The upper end of the package body 2 forms an open end for taking out the rod-shaped tobacco article.

The package body 2 has a front wall 21, a rear wall 22, a left side wall 23, a right side wall 24, and a bottom wall 25. The front wall 21 and the rear wall 22 are disposed to face each other, and are connected to each other via each of the left side wall 23, the right side wall 24, and the bottom wall 25. A hinge 4 is formed at the upper end of the rear wall 22 in the package body 2. The hinge 4 extends in the width direction of the rear wall 22, and the cover 3 is coupled to be swinged (rotated) with respect to the package main body 2 via the hinge 4.

The cover body 3 has a front wall 31, a rear wall 32, and a left side wall 33. Right side wall 34 and top wall 35. The front wall 31 and the rear wall 32 are disposed to face each other, and are connected to each other via each of the left side wall 33, the right side wall 34, and the top wall 35. Further, the lower end of the rear wall 32 of the lid body 3 is hinged to the upper end of the rear wall 22 of the package main body 2 via the hinge 4. As a result, the relative swing of the lid body 3 and the package body 2 can be realized with the hinge 4 as a fulcrum.

The package 1 of the present embodiment accommodates the rod-shaped tobacco article in the accommodating portion 2a formed in the package body 2. Here, in the case of the rod-shaped tobacco article, the case of accommodating the non-combustion type smoking article will be described. Fig. 5 is a schematic view showing the non-combustion type smoking article 10 housed in the accommodating portion 2a of the package 1 of the first embodiment. The non-combustion type smoking article 10 has a smoke generating region 11 that is heated to generate smoke containing a fragrance component. The smoke generating region 11 is a region in which a cylinder formed of a thermally stable material such as aluminum, stainless steel or the like is filled with, for example, a tobacco sheet or shredded tobacco.

A carbon heat source 12 is provided at the front end of the smoke generating region 11. Further, a filter 14 is connected to the rear end of the smoke generating region 11. The entire outer periphery of the smoke generating region 11 and the filter 14 and a part of the outer periphery of the carbon heat source 12 are integrated by being wound up by the covering material 15. The covering material 15 can be, for example, a paper tube made of paper mainly composed of pulp. The paper tube can use cigarette paper, thick paper, or the like used in general cigarettes. The thick paper may have a weight per unit weight of about 100 to 300 g/m ² . The filter 14 can use a filter used in general cigarettes. The carbon heat source 12 is formed by compression molding or extrusion molding a mixture containing, for example, high-purity carbon particles, a nonflammable additive, an organic or inorganic binder, and water. In this embodiment, a cylindrical shape is formed. Further, a suction end is formed at an end portion on the opposite side of the smoke generating region 11 in the filter 14. Of course, various forms of deformation can be applied to the form of the non-combustion type smoking article 10. For example, a through hole for taking in outside air may be formed in the longitudinal direction of the carbon heat source 12 in the carbon heat source 12.

Moreover, the non-combustion type smoking article 10 accommodated in the package 1 has the carbon heat source 12 attached to the front end as mentioned above. Further, since the carbon heat source 12 fixes the carbon particles by the binder as described above, it is relatively fragile. Therefore, once the non-combustion type smoking article is freely moved in the accommodating portion 2a, the vibration or the carbon heat source 12 may collide with the inner wall surface of the package member 1, or the impact of the non-combustion type smoking article 10 colliding with each other may cause a non- The carbon heat source 12 of the burning type smoking article 10 is broken, or the carbon heat source 12 is detached from the smoke generating region 11. In this case, it is very likely that the non-combustible smoking article 10 cannot be sucked. Moreover, since the carbon heat source 12 collides with the inner wall surface of the package 1, or the non-combustion type smoking articles 10 collide with each other, the carbon heat source 12 is scraped to generate toner, which may contaminate the surface of the covering material 15 or the filter 14 The mouth end.

Therefore, the package 1 of the present embodiment has a structure in which the non-combustion type smoking article 10 is fixed to the holding portion provided in the accommodating portion 2a of the package main body 2 and positioned. Hereinafter, the detailed structure will be described.

As shown in Fig. 3, the package main body 2 accommodates a total of 20 non-combustion type smoking articles 10 in a staggered manner in the accommodating portion 2a. Here, the arrangement of the non-combustion type smoking articles 10 which are arranged side by side along the front wall 21 of the package main body 2 is referred to as a "front row", and the non-combustion is arranged in a row along the rear wall 22 of the package main body 2. The arrangement of smoking articles 10 is called "post Segment column." Further, the arrangement sandwiched by the front stage column and the rear stage column is referred to as a "middle stage column". In the present embodiment, each of the front row, the middle row, and the rear row is composed of seven, six, and seven non-combustible smoking articles 10. However, the number, arrangement number, and the like of the non-combustion type smoking articles 10 accommodated in the accommodating portion 2a of the package main body 2 are not particularly limited, and can be appropriately changed.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, the height adjustment member 5 for adjusting the height of the non-combustion type smoking article 10 accommodated in the accommodating part 2a is arrange|positioned in the inside of the package main-body 2. The height adjusting member 5 is formed with a raised bottom surface 51 at a position corresponding to the middle row, and a lower bottom surface 52a, 52b is formed at a position corresponding to the front row and the rear row. The raised bottom surface 51 of the height adjusting member 5 is a section higher than the lower bottom surfaces 52a, 52b. Further, the heights of the lower bottom surface 52a and the lower bottom surface 52b are the same.

As shown in FIG. 4, the non-combustion type smoking article 10 of the front stage is housed in the accommodating portion 2a of the package main body 2 in a state where the carbon heat source 12 abuts against the lower bottom surface 52a of the height adjusting member 5. Similarly, the non-combustion type smoking article 10 in the rear stage is housed in the accommodating portion 2a of the package main body 2 in a state where the carbon heat source 12 abuts against the lower bottom surface 52b of the height adjusting member 5. Further, the non-combustion type smoking article 10 in the middle row is housed in the accommodating portion 2a of the package main body 2 in a state in which the carbon heat source 12 is in contact with the raised bottom surface 51 of the height adjusting member 5. Further, the depths of the raised bottom surface 51 and the lower bottom surfaces 52a, 52b of the height adjusting member 5 are substantially equal to the diameter of the non-combustion type smoking article 10. Thereby, the non-combustion type smoking article 10 can be easily and appropriately supported on the faces of the raised bottom surface 51 and the lower bottom surfaces 52a, 52b of the height adjusting member 5.

Further, in the present embodiment, the non-combustion type smoking article 10 in the middle row can be held at a higher position relative to the non-combustion type smoking article 10 in the front row and the rear row. That is, in the front row and the middle row, and the rear row and the middle row, by making the heights of the carbon heat sources 12 of the non-combustion type smoking articles 10 mutually shifted, there is an advantage that these are not easily collided with each other. Further, in the present embodiment, the step difference between the raised bottom surface 51 and the lower bottom surface 52 of the height adjusting member 5 is set to be approximately the same as the axial length of the carbon heat source 12 in the non-combustion type smoking article 10. By setting in this way, the non-combustion type smoking article 10 disposed in the middle row can be supported at a position relatively longer than the axial direction of the carbon heat source 12, compared to the non-combustion type smoking article 10 disposed in the front row and the rear row. Thereby, it is less likely that the carbon heat sources 12 of the respective columns collide with each other, and the damage of the carbon heat source 12 can be appropriately suppressed.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the plate-shaped first holding member 6a and the second holding member 6b for holding the non-combustion type smoking article 10 are provided in the accommodating portion 2a of the package main body 2. The first holding member 6a is a holding member for holding the seven non-combustion type smoking articles 10 arranged in the front row, and is disposed along the inner surface of the front wall 21 of the package main body 2. The second holding member 6b is a holding member for holding the seven non-combustion type smoking articles 10 arranged in the rear row, and is disposed along the inner surface of the rear wall 22 of the package main body 2.

Here, the first holding member 6a and the second holding member 6b have the same structure. Further, the first holding member 6a is fixed to the non-combustion type smoking article 10 by one surface (hereinafter referred to as "holding surface"). The burning type smoking article 10 is fixed to the front wall 21 of the package 2 by a surface (hereinafter referred to as "back surface") to which the non-combustion type smoking article 10 is not fixed. Thereby, the non-combustion type smoking article 10 of the front stage is positioned along the front wall 21 of the package body 2 via the first holding member 6a.

In addition, the second holding member 6b holds the non-combustion type smoking article 10 by one surface (hereinafter referred to as "holding surface"), and holds the non-combustion type smoking article 10, and the non-combustion type smoking article 10 is not fixed. (hereinafter referred to as "back surface") is fixed to the rear wall 22 of the package body 2. Thereby, the non-combustion type smoking article 10 in the rear stage is positioned along the rear wall 22 of the package main body 2 via the second holding member 6b.

The reference numeral 7 shown in Figs. 3 and 4 represents a cement (adhesive) for fixing the non-combustion type smoking article 10 to each of the holding members 6a and 6b. In the example shown in the drawing, the cement 7 is partially applied to a part of the covering material 15 of the non-combustion type smoking article 10. Further, in the example shown in the drawings, the non-combustion type smoking article 10 is coated with a cement 7 at a certain portion of the covering material 15, but may be applied to a plurality of portions of the covering material 15 Agent 7. Further, various cements 7 can be used, but a hot-melt adhesive such as generally used in the art can also be used. Further, the cement 7 may be a vinyl acetate-based adhesive, a glue, a CMC (carboxymethylcellulose) adhesive or the like in addition to the hot-melt adhesive. Further, as described above, the smoke generating region 11 of the non-combustion type smoking article 10 may be formed by using a metal material such as aluminum or the like, which is filled with a tobacco sheet or shredded tobacco. In this case, a magnet or the like may be used. The non-combustion type smoking article 10 is fixed to each of the holding members 6a and 6b.

Next, the detailed structure of the package 1 will be described with reference to Fig. 6 . As shown in Fig. 6 (a), each of the seven non-combustion type smoking articles 10 is fixed to the first holding member 6a and the second holding member in a state in which the directions of the carbon heat sources 12 are aligned in a line. 6b. At this time, the non-combustion type smoking article 10 is fixed to the first holding member 6a such that the position of the front end portion of the carbon heat source 12 in the non-combustion type smoking article 10 coincides with the lower end edge 61 of the first holding member 6a. As a result, the front end position of the carbon heat source 12 among all the non-combustion type smoking articles 10 fixed to the first holding member 6a is aligned with the lower end edge 61 of the first holding member 6a.

In the same manner, the non-combustion type smoking article 10 is fixed to the second holding member 6b such that the position of the front end portion of the carbon heat source 12 in the non-combustion type smoking article 10 coincides with the lower end edge 61 of the second holding member 6b. As a result, the front end position of the carbon heat source 12 among all the non-combustion type smoking articles 10 fixed to the second holding member 6b is aligned with the lower end edge 61 of the second holding member 6b.

Further, as shown in Fig. 6(b), the height adjusting member 5 is disposed in the accommodating portion 2a of the package 1. At this time, the height adjusting member is disposed such that the lower bottom surface 52a of the height adjusting member 5 is located on the front wall 21 side of the package main body 2, and the lower bottom surface 52b of the height adjusting member 5 is located on the rear wall 22 side of the package main body 2 5.

Further, as shown in Fig. 6(c), the first holding member 6a holding the state of the non-combustion type smoking article 10 has its back surface facing the inner surface of the front wall 21 among the package main bodies 2, and First retention The lower end edge 61 of the piece 6a is supported in a state of abutting against the lower bottom surface 52a of the height adjusting member 5, and the back surface of the first holding member 6a is fixed to the inner surface of the front wall 21 among the package main bodies 2. Thereby, the non-combustion type smoking article 10 of the front stage is positioned along the front wall 21 of the package body 2 via the first holding member 6a. Further, the front end position of the carbon heat source 12 in the non-combustion type smoking article 10 in the front stage coincides with the lower end edge 61 of the first holding member 6a. Therefore, the non-combustion type smoking article 10 of the front stage can be stably positioned in a state where the front end surface of the carbon heat source 12 abuts against the lower surface 52a of the height adjusting member 5.

On the other hand, the second holding member 6b holding the state of the non-combustion type smoking article 10 has its back surface facing the inner surface of the rear wall 22 among the package main bodies 2, and the lower end edge of the second holding member 6b. The state in which the 61 is abutted against the lower surface 52b of the height adjusting member 5 is supported, and the back surface of the second holding member 6b is fixed to the inner surface of the rear wall 22 among the package main bodies 2. Thereby, the non-combustion type smoking article 10 in the rear stage is positioned along the rear wall 22 of the package main body 2 via the second holding member 6b. Further, since the front end position of the carbon heat source 12 in the non-combustion type smoking article 10 in the rear row coincides with the lower end edge 61 of the second holding member 6b, the front end surface of the carbon heat source 12 can be brought into contact with the lower surface of the height adjusting member 5 In the state of 52b, the non-combustion type smoking article 10 in the rear stage is stably positioned.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 6(d), the non-combustion type smoking article in the middle row is inserted into the gap between the non-combustion type smoking article 10 formed in the front row and the non-combustion type smoking article 10 in the rear row. 10 status. At this time, the carbon heat source among the non-combustion type smoking articles 10 in the middle row The front end face of the 12 is supported by the raised bottom surface 51 of the height adjusting member 5. Thereby, the non-combustion type smoking article 10 in the middle row is positioned and held by the raised bottom surface 51 of the height adjusting member 5 and the covering material 15 among the non-combustion type smoking articles 10 of the front row and the rear row. In the present embodiment, the front wall 21 and the rear wall 22 which face each other in the package main body 2 correspond to the first wall and the second wall of the present invention. Further, when the package 1 of the present embodiment is assembled, the non-combustion type smoking article 10 held in the front row of the first holding member 6a and the non-combustion type smoking article 10 held in the rear row of the second holding member 6b can be used. And the non-combustion type smoking articles 10 arranged in the middle of the non-combustion type smoking articles 10 are gathered together in a staggered manner, placed on the blank forming the package 1, and the non-combustion type smoking The item 10 is wrapped in a manner that is folded into the blank in sequence. In this case, by applying the adhesive to the back surfaces of the first holding member 6a and the second holding member 6b, the first holding member 6a and the first holding member of the non-combustion type smoking article 10 can be held in the step of folding the material. 2 The holding member 6b is fixed to the inner wall surface of the package 1.

Further, the non-combustion type smoking article 10 in the middle row is positioned between the non-combustion type smoking article 10 in the front row and the non-combustion type smoking article 10 in the rear row. In other words, the non-combustion type smoking article 10 in the middle row is not fixed to the holding portion called the inner wall surface of the package main body 2, the first holding member 6a, the second holding member 6b, and the like, but is permeable to the front portion. Non-combustible smoking article 10 and non-combustion type in the back row Between the smoking articles 10 to fix their position. By this means, for example, when the package 1 stored in the pocket or the bag of the clothes is shaken, the non-combustion type smoking article 10 accommodated in the package 1 can be prevented from being vigorously moved or freely moved in the accommodating portion 2a. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the collision of the carbon heat source 12 with the inner wall surface of the package main body 2, or the vibration shock is transmitted to the carbon heat source 12. As a result, the carbon heat source 12 of the non-combustion type smoking article 10 can be suppressed from being broken, or the carbon heat source 12 can be detached from the smoke generating region 11.

Further, the package 1 of the present embodiment is a non-combustion type in which the front end of the non-combustion type smoking article 10 is supported by the lower bottom surfaces 52a and 52b of the height adjusting member 5, and the front end row and the rear row are supported by the raised bottom surface 51. The configuration of the front end of the smoking article 10. According to this, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, the suction port of the non-combustion type smoking article 10 in the middle row can be made higher than the upper end (suction end) of the non-combustion type smoking article 10 in the front row and the rear row. The state in which the end is more protruded upward is accommodated in the accommodating portion 2a. That is, the upper end positions of the adjacent arrays among the arrays of the non-combustion type smoking articles 10 can be made different from each other. As a result, after the package 1 is opened, the smoker can easily grasp the non-combustion type smoking article 10 in the middle row and take it out from the accommodating portion 2a of the package 1. Further, in the present embodiment, the height difference (step difference) between the lower bottom surfaces 52a and 52b of the height adjusting member 5 and the raised bottom surface 51 is ensured to be 5 mm or more. Therefore, the upper end portion of the non-combustion type smoking article 10 in the middle row can be protruded by 5 mm or more with respect to the non-combustion type smoking article 10 in the front row and the rear row stored in the accommodating portion 2a, so that the non-combustion type smoking from the middle row It is highly desirable from the viewpoint of the ease of grasping the article 10.

Moreover, non-combustible smoking in, for example, all mid-range After the article 10 is sucked out, the smoker can grasp and pull out one of the non-combustion type smoking articles 10 in the front row or the rear row, and can be detached while being torn from the first holding member 6a or the second holding member 6b.
