Description

Slide box type package

The present invention relates to a slide box type package.

Conventionally, a soft pack type package, a hard type package, and the like are known as packages (packaging) for containing articles such as tobacco products. As one form of the hard package, there is known a slide box type package including an inner box that accommodates an object to be accommodated and an outer box that slidably accommodates the inner box (for example, a patent) Reference 1). There is also known a slide box type package in which two inner boxes are slidably accommodated with respect to the outer box (see, for example, Patent Document 2). This type of slide box type package is configured to be slidable between a closed position where the inner box is inserted into the outer box and an open position where the inner box is partially pulled out from the open end of the outer box. Yes.

Further, as one form of the hard package, there is known a swing box type package including an inner box that accommodates an object to be accommodated and an outer box that can swing with respect to the inner box (for example, Patent Documents). (See 3-5).

Special table 2009-507731 Special table 2010-524801 US Pat. No. 4,641,748 US Pat. No. 1,735,324 International Publication No. 2007/029472

However, the above-mentioned slide box type package and swing box type package have room for improvement in the following points.

The slide box type package usually has a pair of cooperating locking portions provided on the inner box side and the outer box side in order to prevent the inner box from being completely detached from the outer box. . Both locking portions engage when the amount of the inner box drawn from the outer box reaches a predetermined amount. That is, the maximum amount of drawer of the inner box is determined by engaging a pair of cooperating locking portions on the inner box side and the outer box side, and after the drawer amount of the inner box reaches the maximum drawer amount, The inner box cannot be pulled out from the outer box any more. In many of the slide box type packages, the area of the take-out port for the object to be contained cannot be sufficiently secured when opened, and it is difficult to take out the object to be contained.

On the other hand, since the swing box type package is an open / close method in which the inner box and the outer box swing relative to each other, the inner box and the outer box easily interfere with each other during the swinging operation. In order to enable the opening and closing operation while avoiding the interference between the two, it is necessary to make the height of the outer box considerably higher than the inner box, which causes an increase in the manufacturing cost of the package. It was.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the object thereof is to ensure a sufficient opening area of the take-out port for the object to be contained when the package is opened without causing other inconveniences. It is to provide a slide box type package that can be used.

In the present invention, the following means are adopted in order to solve the above problems. The slide box type package according to the present invention has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and includes an inner box in which a take-out port for taking out an object to be accommodated to the outside is formed at the upper opening end, and an insertion end provided on the side. The inner box is insertable, and includes an outer cover that is slidable relative to the inner box, and a slide restricting means that restricts a relative sliding operation exceeding a predetermined range between the outer cover and the inner box. The restricting means allows a relative swinging motion between the outer cover and the inner box within a predetermined range in a state where the relative sliding motion is restricted.

The objects to be accommodated in the slide box type package are not particularly limited, but a collection of rod-shaped articles, for example, tobacco products can be suitably exemplified as the objects to be accommodated. That is, the article to be stored according to the present invention may be a tobacco product. Examples of cigarette products include cigarettes (filter cigarettes, double-cut cigarettes (no filter)), cigars (cigars), cigarillos, snus, snuff, chewing tobacco, and electronic cigarettes.

In the slide box type package according to the present invention, when the outer cover is in the closed position (fully closed position), the take-out port of the inner box is closed by the outer cover, and the user removes the object to be stored in the inner box. It cannot be taken out. The user can open the package by sliding the outer cover once in a predetermined opening direction and then swinging the outer cover with respect to the inner box.

Since the slide box type package according to the present invention includes the slide restricting means, when the outer cover is slid from the closed position to the open direction, when the slide amount from the closed position reaches a specified value, the subsequent open direction Is restricted (restricted). For example, in a state where the slide amount from the closed position of the outer cover has reached a specified value, the package is in a state where the inner box outlet is opened to an intermediate stage.

The slide restricting means allows the relative swinging motion between the outer cover and the inner box within a predetermined range in a state where the sliding motion between the outer cover and the inner box is restricted. Therefore, the user can swing the outer cover in a predetermined opening direction from the state in which the outlet of the inner box is opened to the intermediate stage. By this swinging operation, the opening area of the take-out opening of the inner box is further expanded, and the package can be opened to the fully opened state where the opening area is maximized. As a result, when the package is opened, the opening area of the take-out port can be sufficiently secured, and the object to be accommodated in the inner box can be easily taken out from the take-out port.

Note that when the package is closed, the opposite operation is performed. That is, from the fully open state, the package is closed to an intermediate stage by swinging the outer cover in the closing direction, and then the outer cover is slid in the closing direction. And if an outer cover slides to a closed position, the taking-out port of an inner box will be closed completely by an outer cover, and taking out an object to be stored will be restricted.

As described above, in the slide box type package according to the present invention, the opening / closing operation is performed by combining the sliding operation and the swinging operation of the outer cover. Then, after the sliding operation in the opening direction of the outer cover is restricted by the slide restricting means when the package is opened, the swinging movement of the outer cover is allowed within a predetermined range. By swinging, the opening area of the outlet can be further increased. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to sufficiently ensure the opening area of the take-out port for the object to be stored when the package is opened.

Furthermore, the package according to the present invention is different from the conventional swing box type package that opens and closes only by swinging motion, and has a system that opens and closes by combining sliding motion and swing motion between the outer cover and the inner box. Since it is adopted, the swing angle required until the package is fully opened can be reduced as compared with the conventional case. According to this, even if the height of the outer cover is almost the same as the height of the inner box, it is possible to avoid interference between the top wall of the outer cover and the upper end portion of the inner box. And since it can avoid making the height of an outer cover extra high compared with the height of an inner box, the manufacturing cost of a package can be reduced compared with the former.

Further, in the slide box type package according to the present invention, the slide restricting means is constituted by an inner box side engaging portion and an outer cover side engaging portion which are provided in the inner box and the outer cover, respectively, which are engaged with each other. May be. In this case, the inner box side engaging portion is a retaining flap in which the front wall or the rear wall is cut and raised with an edge portion to which the front wall or the rear wall and the side wall of the inner box are connected as a base end. The outer cover side engaging portion is a folded flap in which a front wall or a rear wall of the outer cover is folded inward at the insertion end, and the folded flap is a flap having a folded width from the insertion end. You may have the inclination edge part which a width | variety increases toward the lower side from the upper side of a package height direction, and the protrusion part located in the lower end of the said inclination edge part. Further, when the outer cover and the inner box are relatively slid in the opening direction, the protruding portion is engaged with the retaining flap, so that the relative sliding operation in the further opening direction is restricted, and The outer cover and the inner box may be allowed to swing relative to each other until the inclined edge abuts the base end of the retaining flap with the protruding portion as the swing center.

Also, in the slide box type package according to the present invention, the outer cover may be composed of a first side box and a second side box. In this case, one side end of the inner box is inserted into the insertion end of the first side box, and the other side of the inner box is inserted into the insertion end of the second side box. The entire inner box may be covered by the outer cover when an end is inserted and both the first side box and the second side box are in the closed position.

In addition, the means for solving the problems in the present invention can be employed in combination as much as possible.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a slide box type package that can sufficiently secure the opening area of the take-out port for the contained object when the package is opened without causing other inconveniences.

<Operation>
Next, the opening / closing operation of the package 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7A to 7C are diagrams illustrating an operation procedure when the package 1 according to the embodiment is opened. FIGS. 8A to 8C are diagrams illustrating operations of the inner box 5 and the outer cover 4 (first side box 2 and second side box 3) when the package 1 according to the embodiment is opened. 8A to 8C, the retaining flaps 56a to 56d provided on the inner box 5 side, and the outer cover 4 (first side box 2, second side box 3) side that engages with each of these flaps. It is drawn centering on the relative relationship with the folding flaps 47a to 47d provided at the center. 7A and 8A show the package 1 in a closed state. In the closed state, the take-out port 55 of the inner box 5 is completely covered by the outer cover 4 (the first side box 2 and the second side box 3). Therefore, in this state, the user cannot take out the cigarette C, which is an object to be accommodated in the inner box 5, to the outside. 7B and FIG. 8B show the sliding completion state of the package 1, and FIGS. 7C and 8C show the fully open state of the package 1. FIG. The package 1 is in a half-opened state in which the take-out port 55 of the inner box 5 is partially opened when the slide is completed. Further, when the package 1 is in a fully opened state, all of the take-out ports 55 are opened to the outside. In FIGS. 8A to 8C, illustration of the cigarette C housed in the inner box 5 is omitted.

7A and 8A, the folded back flaps 47a to 47d provided on the outer cover 4 side and the retaining flaps 56a to 56d provided on the inner box 5 side are not engaged with each other. When opening the package 1 in the closed state, as shown in FIGS. 7B and 8B, the user slides the outer cover 4 (the first side box 2 and the second side box 3) in the opening direction from the closed position. In the present embodiment, the direction in which the first side box 2 and the second side box 3 are spread on both lateral sides of the package 1 corresponds to the “opening direction”. As each of the first side box 2 and the second side box 3 is slid in the opening direction, the opening area where the take-out port 55 of the inner box 5 is exposed to the outside gradually increases.

In the sliding operation process in the opening direction of the outer cover 4 (the first side box 2 and the second side box 3), the folded flaps 47a to 47d are connected to the retaining flaps 56a to 56d through the corresponding cutouts 57a to 57d. Inserted inside. In particular, the folding flaps 47a to 47d provided on the outer cover 4 side extend obliquely toward the retaining flaps 56a to 56d provided on the inner box 5 side, and the retaining flaps 56a to 56d provided on the inner box 5 side. Since d extends obliquely toward the folding flaps 47a to 47d provided on the outer cover 4, the folding flaps 47a to 47d are surely entered into the inside of the retaining flaps 56a to 56d during the sliding operation. Can be made.

7B and 8B show the state when the sliding amount from the closed state to the opening direction of the outer cover 4 (the first side box 2 and the second side box 3) reaches the specified amount. ing. In the package 1 according to the present embodiment, when the sliding amount in the opening direction reaches a specified amount, the protruding portions 48 of the folding flaps 47a to 47d are the base end portions of the retaining flaps 56a to 56d, that is, the inner box 5 Are configured to collide (abut) with the connecting portions between the respective flaps 56a to 56d and the side wall 53. As a result, the folding flaps 47a to 47d and the retaining flaps 56a to 56d engage with each other, and further sliding in the opening direction in the first side box 2 and the second side box 3 is restricted. Is done. That is, the folding flaps 47a to 47d and the retaining flaps 56a to 56d that are engaged with each other cooperate to regulate the relative sliding movement in the opening direction between the inner box 5 and the outer cover 4. In the half-open state shown in FIGS. 7B and 8B, the cigarette C can be taken out from the take-out port 55 because the take-out port 55 is partially opened. C is difficult to take out.

Therefore, the package 1 according to the present embodiment performs the relative swinging operation of the outer cover 4 (the first side box 2 and the second side box 3) with respect to the inner box 5 from the half-opened state. By opening the side box 2 and the second side box 3 in a V shape, the opening area of the outlet 55 is further increased. Hereinafter, this swing operation will be described in detail.

The folded flaps 47a to 47d have the inclined edge portion 49 as described above, and a protruding portion 48 is formed at the lower end of the inclined edge 49. As shown in FIG. 8B, in the slide completed state (half-opened state), the folded flaps 47a to 47d are inclined edge portions 49 in a state where the corresponding folded flaps 47a to 47d and the retaining flaps 56a to 56d are respectively engaged. Is disposed obliquely with respect to the side wall 53 of the inner box 5, and the protruding portion 48 is in contact with the side wall 53. Therefore, in this state, the sliding operation in the opening direction of the outer cover 4 (the first side box 2 and the second side box 3) is restricted, but the protruding portions 48 in the folding flaps 47a to 47d are swung. The outer cover 4 (the first side box 2 and the second side box 3) and the inner box 5 until the inclined edge portion 49 abuts (collises) with the side wall 53 which is the base end portion of the retaining flap as a center. Relative swinging motion is allowed. That is, the folding flaps 47a to 47d and the retaining flaps 56a to 56d that are engaged with each other restrict the sliding operation of the outer cover 4 (the first side box 2 and the second side box 3) in the opening direction. Thus, the relative swinging motion between the outer cover 4 (the first side box 2 and the second side box 3) and the inner box 5 is allowed within a predetermined range.

Therefore, the user swings the package 1 in the slide-completed state in the opening direction of the outer cover 4, in this case, in the direction of opening the first side box 2 and the second side box 3 in a V shape. By performing the above, the opening area of the take-out port 55 can be further increased. That is, the package 1 can be shifted to a fully opened state in which the entire area of the take-out port 55 of the inner box 5 is open to the outside.

It should be noted that when closing the package 1, the outer cover 4 may be operated in the reverse order of the above opening. For example, for the package 1 in the fully opened state, the outer cover 4 (the first side box 2 and the second side box 3) is swung in the closing direction, and the slide completion state (see FIGS. 7B and 8B) (Half-open state). Then, from this sliding completion state, the package 1 can be closed by sliding the outer cover 4 (the first side box 2 and the second side box 3) in the closing direction.

As described above, in the package 1 according to the present embodiment, the opening / closing operation of the package 1 is performed by combining the relative sliding operation and the relative swinging operation of the outer cover 4 with respect to the inner box 5. When the package 1 is opened, the outer cover 4 swings even after the sliding operation in the opening direction of the outer cover 4 is restricted by the engagement of the folding flaps 47a to 47d and the retaining flaps 56a to 56d. Since the operation is allowed within a predetermined range, the opening area of the extraction port 55 can be further increased by swinging the outer cover 4 in the opening direction. Therefore, according to the package 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to sufficiently secure the opening area of the take-out port 55 when the package is opened, and thus it becomes very easy to take out the object.

Moreover, according to the package 1, unlike the conventional swing box type package that opens and closes only by swinging motion, the sliding operation and swing motion between the outer cover 4 and the inner box 5 are combined for opening and closing. Therefore, the swing angle required until the package 1 is fully opened can be reduced as compared with the conventional case. According to this, even if the height of the outer cover 4 is almost the same as the height of the inner box 5, it is possible to avoid interference between the top wall 45 of the outer cover 4 and the upper end portion of the inner box 5. And since it can avoid making the height of the outer cover 4 extra high compared with the height of the inner box 5, the manufacturing cost of a package can be reduced compared with the former.

Moreover, the package 1 is manufactured from each blank mentioned above using the packaging machine, The height of the inner box 5 and the height of the outer cover 4 (the 1st side box 2 and the 2nd side box 3) are almost the same. Since the height of the front wall panel P12 in the outer blank B2 can be made almost equal to the height of the front wall panel P1 in the inner blank B1, the inner top flaps P16 and P17 of the outer blank B2 are connected to the top wall panel P14. The inner top flaps P16 and P17 and the top wall panel P14 can be appropriately folded using the upper end surface of the inner pack accommodated in the accommodating portion of the inner box 4 as a reaction force.

In addition, according to the conventional swing box type package, as described above, the height of the outer box needs to be set higher than the height of the inner box. A space will be formed. As a result, the cigarette moves up and down inside the closed package, which causes the cigarette notches to be scattered inside the package. On the other hand, according to the package 1 according to the present embodiment, for example, the inner height of the outer cover 4 can be made almost equal to the height of the cigarette C. Therefore, when the package 1 is in a closed state, it is possible to suppress the cigarette C accommodated in the package 1 from moving up and down, and to suppress the scattering of nicks in the package 1.

In addition, like the package 1 according to the present embodiment, after the outer cover 4 is once slid in the opening direction from the closed state, the first side box 2 and the second side box 3 constituting the outer cover 4 Is a novel opening method that does not exist in the past. That is, according to the package 1 according to the present embodiment, the opening and closing operation is novel, and such a package 1 can evoke consumers' willingness to purchase.

In the present embodiment, when the sliding operation of the outer cover 4 in the opening direction with respect to the inner box 5 is performed, when the sliding amount of the outer cover 4 from the closed state reaches a specified amount, the engagement is further increased. A combination of the folding flaps 47a to 47d and the retaining flaps 56a to 56d that restrict the sliding operation in the opening direction corresponds to the slide restricting means according to the present invention. The folded back flaps 47a to 47d provided on the outer cover 4 correspond to the outer cover side engaging portions according to the present invention, and the retaining flaps 56a to 56d provided on the inner box 5 correspond to the inner box side according to the present invention. Corresponds to the engaging portion.

The package 1 according to the present embodiment can be variously modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the shape, number, size and the like of each part constituting the package 1 including the shape of the take-out port 55 of the inner box 5 can be changed as appropriate. Further, in the package 1 in the present embodiment, the folding flaps 47a and 47c are provided on both the front wall 41 side and the rear wall 42 side of the first side box 2, that is, in two places. The number of the folding flaps is as follows. There may be one, or three or more. Similarly, the number of folded flaps provided on the second side box 3 side can be appropriately changed. Further, the retaining flap provided on the inner box 5 side may be installed according to the number and location of the folded flaps provided on the outer cover 4 (first side box 2 and second side box 3) side.

Further, the combination of the folding flaps 47a to 47d and the retaining flaps 56a to 56d according to this embodiment is an example of the slide restricting means according to the present invention, and the relative sliding operation exceeding the predetermined range in the outer cover 4 and the inner box 5 is performed. Other configurations may be adopted as long as the relative swinging motion between the outer cover 4 and the inner box 5 can be allowed within a predetermined range in a state where the sliding motion is restricted.

Further, in the package 1 according to the present embodiment, the outer cover 4 includes the first side box 2 and the second side box 3, and the inner cover 5 is located with respect to the insertion end 46 of the first side box 2. One side end is inserted and the other side end of the inner box 5 is inserted with respect to the insertion end 46 of the second side box 3, but this is not a limitation. For example, the outer cover 4 may be a single cover member that holds the inner box 5 slidably and swingably and covers it.
