Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a novel container for consumer goods.
  • the container finds particular application as a container for elongate smoking articles, such as cigarettes.
  • a 'soft' pack comprises one or more sheets of paper or card material wrapped around a bundle of smoking articles and folded at its ends.
  • the container is adapted to be torn apart along lines of perforation in order to provide an access opening through which the smoking articles can be removed.
  • US-A-1 ,701 ,316 discloses a container for smoking articles having a front wall which is adapted to be split apart in order to provide an access opening through which the smoking articles may be removed.
  • a container comprising a box and a lid flap connected to the box.
  • the box comprises a box front wall having a cut-out portion therein, a box back wall having a back hinge line extending between opposed edges of the box wall, a first box side wall, a second box side wall, a box top wall and a box bottom wall.
  • the box further comprises one or more lines of weakness extending between the cut-out portion and the ends of the back hinge line such that the box is separable along the lines of weakness into two box portions connected along the back hinge line and pivotable relative to each other about the back hinge line between a closed box position and an open box position.
  • the lid flap is connected to the box such that it is moveable relative thereto between a closed lid position, in which the lid flap fully covers the cut-out portion in the front wall and an open position, in which the cut-out portion in the front wall is uncovered.
  • the consumer goods within the container can only be removed from the container when the box and lid are both in the open position.
  • front, back, upper, lower, side, “top”, “bottom”, “left”, “right” and other terms used to describe relative positions of the components of containers according to the invention refer to the container in an upright position with the cut-out portion at the front of the pack and the back hinge line. It is intended that the consumer goods within the container will be removed through the front of the box.
  • line of weakness describes a line in a sheet of material, such as paper or cardboard, along which the material has been weakened through removal, compression or severing of some of the material along that line. This facilitates the tearing or breakage of the sheet material along a desired line.
  • the one or more lines of weakness in containers according to the present invention may be, for example, score lines, or lines of perforations.
  • the one or more lines of weakness are unbroken at the point of sale of the filled container and must be broken by the consumer in order to access the consumer goods housed within the box of the container. Prior to use, the box of the container is therefore fully intact and sealed around the consumer goods. Until the one or more lines of weakness are broken, it is not possible to gain access to the consumer goods.
  • the one or more lines of weakness therefore provide containers according to the invention with a tamper evident seal, which enables the consumer to easily assess whether or not the container has been previously opened or tampered with in any way.
  • the presence of an unbroken seal indicates that the box has not yet been opened and the consumer goods have not been accessed.
  • each end of the back hinge line is connected to the cut-out portion in the box front wall by a single line of weakness.
  • each end of the back hinge line may be connected to the cut-out portion by a pair of substantially parallel lines of weakness which define an opening strip. In this case, the opening strip must be removed from the box in order to separate the box into the two box portions.
  • the box Upon breakage of the one or more lines of weakness, the box becomes separated into two box portions, which are connected to each other along the back hinge line.
  • Each of the two box portions is pivotable to some extent about the back hinge line and the box portions can therefore be moved relative to each other between a closed box position and an open box position.
  • the closed box position the two box portions are in substantially the same position as before the breakage of the lines of weakness. In this position, it is therefore typically still not possible to remove the consumer goods from the box.
  • the box portions are each pivoted backwards about the back hinge line so that the back walls of the box portions are brought towards each other.
  • the front wall splits apart and the size of the cut-out portion in the front wall of the box increases.
  • the enlarged cut-out portion provides an access opening through which the consumer goods can be removed.
  • the cut-out portion in the front wall may be any suitable size and shape and may be provided at any position in the front wall.
  • the size, shape and position of the cut-out portion may depend upon the type of consumer goods within the container.
  • the shape and size of cut-out portion in the front wall of the box are preferably such that the consumer goods can be viewed through the cut-out portion but cannot be removed from the box.
  • the size of the cut-out portion has increased to the extent that it is possible to easily remove the consumer goods through the cut-out portion.
  • the hinge line preferably extends between the top and bottom edges of the box back wall.
  • the back hinge line extends substantially vertically between the top and bottom edges of the box back wall.
  • the lid flap of containers according to the invention is connected to the box portion along a lid hinge line so that the lid flap is pivotable between the open lid position and the closed lid position.
  • the lid hinge line may be provided at any position on the lid flap, but is preferably provided at the left side of the lid flap so that the lid flap opens like the cover of a book.
  • the lid flap is adapted to fully cover the cut-out portion in the closed lid position. This ensures that the lid flap effectively closes the box so that the consumer goods are not exposed prior to opening the box, or between openings. This advantageously protects the consumer goods from exposure to air or other environmental factors, such as for example sunlight or dirt.
  • the lid flap may be of any size and shape provided it is capable of fully covering the cut-out portion on the front wall of the box in the closed lid position.
  • the lid flap in the closed lid position the lid flap lies flush to the surface of the box and does not extend beyond the edges the box. In this way, the lid flap has only a negligible effect on the overall size and shape of the container and therefore does not affect, for example, the wrapping or storage of the filled container.
  • the lid flap covers substantially the entire front wall of the box in the closed lid position.
  • the lid flap may be integral to the box portion.
  • the lid hinge line may be provided by a fold line or a score line between the lid flap and the panel of the box from which the lid flap extends.
  • the lid flap may be formed separately from the box and connected thereto, either directly or indirectly by means of an additional piece of material.
  • the lid hinge line may be provided, for example, by a fold line or score line in the lid flap itself or in the additional piece of material joining the lid flap to the box.
  • the lid flap when the lid flap is in its closed position, it retains the box portions in the closed box position. After separation of the box into the two separate box portions, the lid flap can therefore provide the additional function of keeping the two box portions together so that the box cannot be inadvertently opened between uses. This advantageously prevents the consumer goods in the box from falling out of the container.
  • the lid flap may be formed of a single panel of material. More preferably, the lid flap comprises a lid front wall and a lid side wall, wherein in the closed lid position the lid front wall overlies the box front wall and the lid side wall overlies the first box side wall. This may provide improved closure of the box when the lid panel is in the closed lid position.
  • Containers according to the present invention preferably further comprise retention means for retaining the lid flap in the closed lid position. This further improves the closure of the box, by securing the lid flap in the closed lid position until a positive force is applied to move the lid flap to the open lid position.
