Definitions

  • This invention is for improvements in or relating to cartons for cigarettes and similarly shaped articles, and has for its object the provision of'a carton which will adequately 6' protect the cigarettes and yet avoid the imperfections which are inherent in the cigarette packings which are at pgesent employed.
  • the present invention consists of a carton for cigarettes and like articles arranged to accommodate two superimposed rows of ciga- 2 rettes when the package is closed, and which, when opened, automatically separates the two rows from one another and simultaneously completely uncovers the free ends of each row of cigarettes.
  • the invention also consists of a carton for cigarettes and the like of the type which comprises two pockets each arranged to accommodate a single row of cigarettes with the axes arran ed at right angles to the mouth of each poc et, and united by a flapin such a manner as 'to permit the same to be opened out into line with the open ends of the pockets directed towards one another, and to extend across the open ends of the two pockets and form the sole closure element for the same when one pocket is folded upon the other, characterized by portions of the inner broad panels of the pockets being folded upon themselves within the pockets to form openings at the open ends of the pockets which display the free ends of the cigarettes located therein.
  • the present invention consists o a carton for cigarettes and the like, of the type which comprises two pockets each arranged to accommodate a single row of cigarettes with the axes arranged at right angles to the mouths of each pocket, and united by a flap in such a manner as to permit the same to be opened out into line with the open ends of the pockets directed towards one another and to extend across the open enxgs of the two ockets and form the sole closure lement for t e same when one pocket is folded upon the other, characterized by each pocket bein 7 so connected to the said flap that when t e carton is opened, the free ends of the cigarettes in each pocket are automatically uncovered so as to resent a free finger-hold for each cigarette om either side of the pocket.
  • cigarettes are usually enveloped in an outer covering of tin foil which, when the packet is to be used often, forms a source of annoyance to the user, inasmuch as the same has to be either unwrapped from around the cigarettes or torn away so as to provide access to the cigarettes in the carton, and once the foil has been torn away the cigarettes are no lon er protected, and the appearance of the pac age is immediately disfigured.
  • the end of the envelope is usually opened going that all cigarette and the cigarette or cigarettes removed by ip ing t not destro ing the end of the ci arette. In all cases g oves must be remove to secure a cigarette.
  • the invention therefore also consists of a carton comprising two block ended pockets hinged together by a flap which also constitutes the sole closure member of the carton characterized by portions of the inner broad e end of the same by means of. t e nger nails and thereby more often than r display the free ends of the cigarettes located therein, the folded -ortions also forming rotective means fort e ends of. the strip of oil arranged around the batch of cigarettes disposed within each pocket.
  • a further object of the invention is to pro vide means whereby the hinged flap is stiffened or reinforced so that the hinge portion of the packet shall be practicall as strong as the block ended portions of t e two separate pockets.
  • FIG. 1 shows a blank from which a carton constructed in accordance with this inven tion is formed.
  • Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of a completed carton in the open position.
  • Fig. 3 is a central section of Fig. 2. a
  • Fig. 4 is a perspective view of aclosed carton.
  • Fig. 5 shows a side elevation of the packet illustrating the method of stiffening the hin e
  • I 6 shows another form of blank from 1 which the carton may be formed.
  • the carton is preferably formed from a rectangular strip of cardboard 1 of such a len h that when the two ends 2 thereof are fol ed into ockets, the same are united by a flap 3 wh1ch will hinge the two pocketstogether in the manner hereinbefore referred to.
  • the free ends 2 of the-blank are slit at 4 so as to. provide portions which ma be fold-' ed'upon the main body of the bla 7 so as to extend over the ends of a strip of foil su erimYOSBd upon the blank, or in the case w ere foi is not em loyed, thematerial between the slits 4 maybe entirely removed to expose the cigarettes.
  • the portions between the slits 4 when fold ed over the ends of the foil provide openings 5 in the broad face of each pocket so as to expose from one side of. the pocket the free ends of the cigarettes 6v which are disposed with their axes at right angles to the mouth of the pocket.
  • the carton is formed by superimposing'a strip of foil 5 in the manner hereinbefore referred to and thereafter foldin the slit portions upon the ends of the foi so as to extend over the same- Two batches of cigarettes are thereupon fed on to the blank so that the axes of the same are disposed in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the blank, and the ends of the blank are thereafter folded about eachbatchof cigarettes into a U formation so as to form a U sha d block ended pocket about each batch of cigarettes'with a strip of foilextending around the carton in the manner shown in Fig. 3.
  • the broad panels 7 of the pockets are pref erably slit at 8 and scored at 9 in order to increasethe effective width of the hinge to expose the free ends of the cigarettes and permit them to begripped from either side of the pocket, and easily withdrawn by the.
  • the panels 2 may have a desi 10 cut therein in order to expose the foil w ich may be embossed in any desired manner.
  • the method of reinforcing the hin e member consists in securing, b means 0 um, a piece of cardboard 11, 0 the same imensions as the hinge, so that when the pockets are folded as in Fig. 5, the stiffener 11 forms a kind of strut between the .outer walls of the carton, and prevents the same from being crushed in the pocket of the user.
  • portions of the ends of the blank which are turned over may be slit to form a number of spring fingers 12 which function in the manner. described in my prior British Patent No. 288,739.
  • the carton is formed from a rectan ular blank 13 having side extensions 14, which side extensions are folded over on to the main body of the blank so as to form a double pocket container of the type described.
  • the material 15 between the two side extensions 14 is folded over on to the hinged portion 16, and mmed thereto to form the stiffening for the inge, as in the previous case.
  • a strip of foil may be arranged to extend beyond each end of the blank, whereupon a batch of cigarettes is fed to either end of the blank.
  • the blank is then fed through folding mechanism which first wra s the foil in the direction of the axes of the clgarettes, but holds the ends of the foil a-predetermined distance from the cigarettes, whereafter the side extensions of the blank are folded across the blank in a direction at right angles to the cigarettes and the portion between the slots 4 is then folded around the end of the. foil, whereupon the side extensions of the blank and the foil are folded upon the cigarettes so as to produce a foil lined carton comprising two pockets united by a flap each having a single row of cigarettes with the axes thereof located at right angles to the mouths of the pockets.
  • a carton for cigarettes arranged to accommodate two rows of cigarettes so that when the carton is opened, the respective rows are separated from one another and arranged in such a manner that the free ends of the cigarettes of each row present sufiiclent finger hold for each cigarette of the two rows to be easily removed from the carton, and when foil is employed 2 and the carton is closed, the cigarettes are almost completely enveloped in foil, but are automatically; exposed to view with a clear portion of t-eir ends available from either side of a pocket as a finger hold when the carton is opened, and the foil is arranged within each pocket so that the free ends thereof are protected, thus enabling a cigarette to be replaced in the package once the same has been removed, without the possibility of the cigarette or the foil becoming damaged by such an action.
  • a carton comprising two block ended pockets hinged together by a flap which also constitutes the sole closure member of the carton, characterized by portions of the inner broad panels of the pockets being folded upon themselves within the pockets to form openings at the open ends of the pockets which display the free ends of the cigarettes located therein, the folded portions also forming protective means for the ends of the strip of foil arranged around the batches of cigarettes disposed within each pocket.
  • a paper carton for cigarettes and the like which comprises two pockets each formed so as to hold a single row of cigarettes with the axes of the cigarettes disposed at right angles to the mouth of the pocket, a flap hingedly connecting the two pockets in such a manner as to permit the same to be opened out into line with the open ends of the pockets directed towards one another, and to extend across the open ends of the pockets to form the sole closure element for the same when one pocket is folded upon the other, that face of each pocket which lies adjacent the other pocket in the folded condition of the carton being slit adjacent the corners of the pocket to provide a tab, the tab being folded into and extending downwardly'within the pocket to yieldingly engage the cigarettes for retaining the latter against unintentional displacement,
