Definitions

  • This invention relates to cartons for smoking articles .
  • cigarettes For convenience, smoking articles such as cigarettes, cigars, cheroots or cigarillos will be referred to hereafter as cigarettes.
  • carton is used to signify a container for more than one pack of cigarettes, each pack being a container of a given charge of cigarettes, usually twenty in each pack.
  • the purpose of the carton is to allow the cigarettes to be distributed, sold and taken home in a compact and readily handleable way. But the carton must also allow access to the packs which are contained, preferably while retaining in a convenient way all of the packs except the one or more which the user wants to remove.
  • a carton has a shell surrounding a slide for containing a plurality of packs of cigarettes and has a stop means to delimit relative sliding movement of the slide and shell such that in a fully open position of the slide there is exposed beyond one end of the shell only a length of the slide corresponding to the distance needed for access to one pack at a time.
  • the slide of the carton is a parallelopipedon with a hinged lid forming one major face normally enclosing the packs, but the portion of the lid exposed by the slide in its open position being severable from the remainder of the lid and removable by the user to allow permanent access to a pack in the exposed part of the slide when the slide is in that open position.
  • That portion of the slide will preferably have an access opening such as a thumb hole in its floor so as to allow the exposed pack to be pushed upwardly out of the drawer formed by the open slide once the lid has been removed.
  • Delimitation of the open position of the slide relative to the shell is preferably assured by a backwardly directed tab on the slide engaging with an oppositely directed tab on the shell, the tab and tongue interengaging in a hook-like fashion to define the open position.
  • the material of the shell and slide wall normally will be conventional card material .
  • the shell may be constructed in such a way as to have one end open (through which the slide may be moved towards the delimited open position) and the other having only a partial end wall so as to allow the user to press the opposite end of the slide towards its open position.
  • That end may be formed by triangular foldable gussets extending between adjacent walls of the partially closed end of the shell, being foldable in a line from the angle between the adjacent walls such that the shell in the absence of the slide may be folded flat in its assembled condition.
  • the shell of the carton may have an array of apertures in it and the surface of the slide underlying the apertures be provided with patterns, indicia or the like so that in one or more relative positions of the slide and shell patterns, messages, colour arrangements or the like may be visible through the apertures.
  • Figure 1 is a view of a blank for the carton shell
  • Figure 2 is a view of a blank for the carton slide
  • Figure 3 shows the shell and slide assembled with the slide in the delimited open position; and Figure 4 shows how part of the lid of the slide may be removed to expose a pack.
  • a blank for the carton shell 1 seen in Figure 1 has two main panels 2,3, joined through hinge lines to a common side wall 4 and respectively to side flaps 5,6. At one longitudinal edge of the major panel 2 is an end tab 7 joined to it through fold line 8. The end tab 7 has height b.
  • a tab such as 7 may be provided at one end of either or each of the major panels 2,3 if desired.
  • triangular gusset-forming parts 11,12 are joined through fold lines 9,10.
  • the gusset-forming parts continue through fold lines 13,14 to securing tabs 15,16.
  • the triangular gusset-forming parts 11,12 have a further fold line 17,18 bisecting the triangle.
  • arrays 19 of small apertures these arrays here numbering twenty-five in a square five-by- five arrangement .
  • the slide for the carton is formed of a blank
  • the panels 30,31 are joined through fold lines by a common side wall 32 and floor 30 has second side wall 33 attached to its fold line.
  • Lid panel 31 has a minor tuck-in flap 34 attached through a fold line.
  • the tuck-in flap 34 has a cut line 35 through it which continues into a line of perforation 36 across the whole width of the major panel 31 to the fold line which joins it to side wall 32 and then continues along that fold line in a line of perforation 37.
  • a detachable lid portion 39 is defined by the cut 35, the lines of perforation 36, 37 and an end of the panel 31.
  • the line 37 is interrupted by a finger hole 38 partly in the lid portion 39 and partly in the side wall 32.
  • a tab 40 is defined by a U- shaped cut 41 and is joined to the remainder of the floor through fold 42. Also in the floor 30 is a thumb hole 43.
  • end walls 44 and 45 which can be erected relative to the floor and held upright by securing to tabs 46,47,48,49 joined by fold lines to the side walls 32,33.
  • a cut-out 50 allows access of the finger of the user to the minor portion 52 of the tuck-in flap 34 which is defined by the cut line 35.
  • the width of the portion 39,52 of the lid and tuck-in flap is equal to or just superior to the width of a pack of cigarettes which is to be received in the slide .
  • the distance a between a projection of the line of perforation 36 and of the fold line 42 of the tab 40 is just slightly greater than the height b in the longitudinal direction of the tab 7 of the shell 1.
  • the charged slide is inserted into the open end of the shell with the end wall 45 leading and with the tab 7 on the shell also turned back through 180°, the slide being oriented in the shell in such a way that the tab 40 and tab 7 are both on the same face.
  • the leading end 45 of the slide comes fully home against the partial end wall 20 of the shell, the free end of the bent back tab 40 has passed the free end of the flap 7.
  • Both the tabs 7 and 40 will tend to spring back from their 180° bend, so far as is allowed by the closeness of fit between the panels of the slide and the shell.
  • the delimited position may be defined by the height of the tab 40 then engaging the fold line of the tab 7, or by the tabs abutting edge to edge.
  • the user can remove this pack from the container either using the remaining part of the finger hole 38 in the side wall 32 or more preferably using the thumb hole 43 in the floor 30 of the slide so that the pack can be pressed upwardly.
  • the depth of the slide is such as to equal the depth of two packs.
  • One or more of the major faces 30,31 of the slide may have indicia, colours, or other material which presents a particular pattern or information or indicia when viewed through the arrays 19 of apertures in the faces 2 and 3.
  • the patterns or information displayed may vary according to the relative positions of the shell and slide, for example showing one pattern or one set of indicia when the slide is closed and another when it is opened.
  • the structure of the gussets 11,12 and in particular the provision of hinge lines 17 and 18 allows the shell to be folded flat, e.g. for despatch, but of course only when the slide is not within it.
  • a non-foldable end wall may be provided for it, but the end wall should have an aperture for allowing the user to push the slide with a finger or thumb .

Abstract

L'invention porte sur une cartouche (1) destinée à contenir une pluralité de paquets (51) d'articles à fumer et comportant une structure à enveloppe et tiroir. Une extrémité (20) de l'enveloppe est partiellement ouverte pour que l'utilisateur puisse pousser le tiroir à couvercle renfermant les paquets d'articles à fumer vers une position ouverte. Cette position ouverte est obtenue grâce à un système d'accrochage entre l'enveloppe et le tiroir et ne laisse apparaître qu'une petite partie (39) détachable du couvercle du tiroir retirée par l'utilisateur pour ne découvrir qu'un seul paquet (51) à la fois et l'extraire de la cartouche.
