The conventional hinge lid package has a problem that the lid does not close securely. Some hinge lid packages have been proposed to solve these problems, but it is not sufficient. On the other hand, there is a demand for further increasing the printing space on the surface of the package (box) for the hinge lid package.

In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a hinge lid package that can more reliably close the lid of the hinge lid package and can secure more printing space.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention covers at least one of the front wall side and the rear wall side of the package body so as to straddle the housing portion and the lid portion (lid), and covers the hinge lid package. A slide cover that restricts the rotation of the part is provided.

More specifically, the present invention has an opening end at the top and a substantially rectangular parallelepiped receiving portion for receiving an object to be accommodated therein, and a rear opening edge of the opening end connected via a hinge. And a lid part that opens and closes the opening end, and is provided on at least one of a front wall side and a rear wall side of the package body, and the housing part And a cover that covers the lid portion and restricts the rotation of the lid portion.

The hinge lid package according to the present invention can regulate the rotation of the lid portion in a state where the lid portion is closed by covering the housing portion and the lid portion with the cover. Therefore, the lid of the hinge lid package can be more reliably closed. Further, the cover can be further printed in addition to the package body and the lid. Therefore, more printing space can be ensured than before, and appeal to consumers can be enhanced. The surface of the package of the present invention may be subjected to processing such as embossing, thickly varnished bumps, electrostatic flocking, and the like to further increase the appeal force.

<First embodiment>
(Constitution)
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a lid 3 of a hinge lid package (hereinafter simply referred to as “package”) 101 according to the first embodiment is closed. 2A and 2B are perspective views of the package 101 with the lid 3 opened. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the package 101. The package 101 is a so-called hinge-lid box type package having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The package 101 includes an outer box 21 as a housing portion, a package body 2 including a lid 3 as a lid member that is rotatably connected to the outer box 21 via a first hinge 6, and a rear wall of the package body 2. The outer 7 is provided on the side. Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, the front side of the package 101 is defined as “front” and the back side is defined as “rear” unless otherwise specified. Further, the lid side of the package 101 is defined as “upper”, and the opposite side (the bottom side of the package) is defined as “lower”. Although the package 101 which concerns on 1st embodiment can be comprised with a paper material or resin, for example, it is not limited to this.

The outer box 21 is a box having a shape in which the upper end side of the rectangular parallelepiped shape is cut obliquely. The outer box 21 has a front wall 23, a rear wall 24, a side wall 25, and a lower wall 26. The front wall 23 and the rear wall 24 are each rectangular, and the rear wall 24 is a rectangle whose height is longer than that of the front wall 23 and faces the front wall 23. The pair of side walls 25 is connected to both side edges of the front wall 23 and the rear wall 24, and has a trapezoidal shape in which the upper end of the rectangle is a hypotenuse. That is, the upper edge 251 of the side wall 25 is inclined so as to connect the upper end of the front wall 23 and the upper end of the rear wall 24. The lower wall 26 has a rectangular shape and is connected to lower ends of the front wall 23 and the rear wall 24.

The first hinge 6 is formed at the upper end of the rear wall 24 of the outer box 21. The first hinge 6 extends between the rear portions of the upper end edges 251 of the side walls 25 and connects the rear wall 24 and the lid 3 to each other so as to be rotatable. The outer box 21 configured as described above includes an open end 211 at the upper end thereof. The lid 3 is joined (connected) to the rear edge of the opening end 211 via the first hinge 6 so as to be freely rotatable (turnable).

The inner frame 22 has a substantially U-shaped front frame 28 and side frames 29 connected to both side edges of the front frame 28. The inner frame 22 is bonded to the inner surface of the outer box 21, specifically, the inner surfaces of the front wall 23 and the side wall 25 in a state of partially protruding upward from the opening end 211 at the upper portion of the outer box 21. The inner frame 22 reinforces the opening end 211 of the outer box 21 and also functions as a guide for guiding the opening and closing of the lid 3.

The front frame 28 has a substantially rectangular notch recess 28a as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B. The notch recess 28a opens the front surface of the inner frame 22 widely, and makes it easy to take out tobacco products (contained items).

Note that the inner frame 22 is not an essential member in configuring the package 101. That is, the inner frame 22 may be omitted, and the package 101 may have a simpler configuration. In the first embodiment, the inner frame 22 is bonded to the inner surface of the outer box 21 as a separate member from the outer box 21, but these may be formed of the same blank (material). Further, the inner frame 22 may be omitted by making the upper end of the front wall 23 of the outer box 21 have the same shape as the notch recess 28a.

The lid 3 includes a rectangular rear wall 31 connected to the first hinge 6, a rectangular upper wall 32 connected so as to be orthogonal to the rear wall 31, and is connected so as to be orthogonal to the upper wall 32. A rectangular front wall 33 and a set of side walls 34. Each set of side walls 34 of the lid 3 has a trapezoidal shape, and is connected to each side edge of the rear wall 31, the upper wall 32, and the front wall 33. As described above, the lid 3 is rotatable about the first hinge 6, and when the lid 3 is closed, the oblique side of the side wall 34, that is, the inclined lower edge of the side wall 34 is the upper end of the side wall 25 in the outer box 21. The edges 251 coincide with each other.

The outer 7 has a rear wall 74, a side wall 73, an upper wall 72, and a lower wall 71. The rear wall 74 of the outer 7 is rectangular and has an area approximately the same as the area on the rear wall side of the package body 2 (the area obtained by adding the area of the rear wall 24 of the outer box 21 and the area of the rear wall 31 of the lid 3). Have. Therefore, the outer 7 covers the entire rear wall 24 of the outer box 21 and the rear wall 31 of the lid 3. The side wall 73 of the outer 7 has a rear edge connected to both side edges of the rear wall 74 of the outer 7, and a vertical edge connected to each side edge of the upper wall 72 and the lower wall 71 of the outer 7. . The set of side walls 73 of the outer 7 are rectangular and face each other, and the rear wall 74 of the outer 7 and the side walls 73 of the set of outer 7 are orthogonal to each other. In the first embodiment, the depth (length in the short direction) of the side wall 73 of the outer 7 is designed to be about one half of the depth of the package body 2. The depth dimension of the side wall 73 of the outer 7 is not limited to the above. For example, the object of the present invention can be achieved even when the depth dimension of the side wall 73 of the outer 7 is about one-fourth to one-third of the depth dimension of the package body 2. However, by making the depth dimension of the side wall 73 of the outer 7 about one half of the depth of the package body 2, it is possible to improve the ease of opening the lid 3 and improve the lid closing in a balanced manner. Further, for example, the depth on the lid 3 side may be set to about one half of the depth of the package body 2, and the depth may be gradually shortened toward the lower wall 26 side. The height (length in the longitudinal direction) of the side wall 73 of the outer 7 is designed to be slightly larger than the height of the package main body 2 so that the package main body 2 can be accommodated in the outer 7.

The upper wall 72 of the outer 7 is composed of a front region 722 and a rear region 721, and is orthogonal to the rear wall 74 and the side wall 73 of the outer 7. The depth of the upper wall 72 of the outer 7 is designed to be about one half of the depth of the package body 2 by folding the area 722 on the front side inward. The rear region 721 is rectangular and has an area that is about one half of the upper wall 32 of the lid 3. The front region 722 is also rectangular and has an area that is about one half of the upper wall 32 of the lid 3, as is the rear region 721. The area 722 on the front side is folded inward and connected to the area on the rear side of the upper wall 32 of the lid 3. The crease at the boundary between the upper wall 72 of the outer 7 and the rear region 721, in other words, the boundary between the front region 722 and the rear region 721 functions as the second hinge 61 when the lid 3 is opened. .

The lower wall 71 of the outer 7 is also rectangular and is orthogonal to the rear wall 74 and the side wall 73 of the outer 7. The depth of the lower wall 71 of the outer 7 is designed substantially the same as the depth of the package body 2. The lower wall 72 of the outer 7 includes a front region 712 and a rear region 711, and the depths of the

regions

711 and 712 are each designed to be about one half of the depth of the package body 2. . The inner surface of the region 712 on the front side is a bonding region, and is bonded to the front side of the outer surface of the lower wall 26 of the outer box 21. The boundary between the front region 712 and the rear region 711 functions as the third hinge 62 when the lid 3 is opened.

(Open / close operation)
Next, the opening / closing operation of the lid 3 in the package 101 will be described. The operation described below is performed by the user appropriately applying an external force. 5A and 5B are side views for explaining the operation of the hinge lid package according to the first embodiment.

The package 101 is in contact with the outer 7 and the package 101 when the lid 3 is closed, and the outer 7 covers the rear side of the package 101 (see FIG. 5A). When it is not necessary to take out the cigarette accommodated in the package 101, the package 101 is normally in the state shown in FIG. 5A. In this state, the outer 7 covers the rear side of the package 101, and the package body 2 is covered with a pair of

side walls

73, 73, an upper wall 72, and a lower wall 71. In particular, the upper wall 72 and the lower wall 71 of the outer 7 restrict the movement in the vertical direction (in the left-right direction in FIG. 5A) required when opening the lid 3. Therefore, in the package 101 according to the first embodiment, the opening and closing of the lid 3 is restricted.

When taking out the cigarette accommodated in the package 101, the restriction of the rotation of the lid 3 by the outer 7 is released by applying an external force forward (upward in FIG. 5A) to the package body 2 ( (See FIG. 5B). Specifically, when a forward external force is applied to the package body 2, the package body 2 gradually moves forward, and the package body 2 is moved in the vertical direction by the upper wall 72 and the lower wall 71 of the outer 7. The power to regulate is gradually weakened. When the external force applied to the front of the package body 2 exceeds the force that restricts the movement of the package body 2 in the vertical direction by the upper wall 72 and the lower wall 71 of the outer 7, the lid 3 uses the first hinge 6 as an axis. Rotate. Here, the rear side of the upper wall 32 of the lid 3 is bonded to the region 722 on the rear side of the upper wall 72 of the outer 7, but the front side of the upper wall 32 of the lid 3 is not bonded. Therefore, when the lid 3 rotates about the first hinge 6, the lid 3 exists at the boundary with the rear region 722 (the boundary between the front region 722 and the rear region 721) of the upper wall 72 of the outer 7. The lid 3 is allowed to rotate about the second hinge 61. Further, the front side of the lower wall 26 of the outer box 21 is bonded to the region 712 on the front side of the lower wall 71 of the outer 7, but the rear side of the lower wall 26 of the outer box 21 is not bonded. Therefore, when the lid 3 rotates around the first hinge 6, the outer box 21 is allowed to rotate around the third hinge 62 existing at the boundary between the front region 712 and the rear region 711. . As a result, the package body 2 that has been in contact with the outer 7 is separated from the outer 7, and the restriction of the vertical movement required to open the lid 3 that is regulated by the upper wall 72 and the lower wall 71 of the outer 7 is released. Is done. Thereby, the lid 3 can be opened and closed.

(effect)
In the package 101 according to the first embodiment, the outer 7 covers the rear side of the package 101, and the periphery of the package body 2 is covered with a pair of

side walls

73, 73, an upper wall 72, and a lower wall 71. . In particular, the upper wall 72 and the lower wall 71 of the outer 7 restrict the vertical movement required when opening the lid 3. Therefore, the rotation of the lid 3 can be restricted, and the lid 3 of the package 101 can be closed more reliably. Further, since the depth of the outer 7 is about one half of the depth of the package body 2 and the lid 3, when an external force is applied, the lid 3 that is regulated by the upper wall 72 and the lower wall 71 of the outer 7 is opened. Therefore, it is possible to easily release the restriction of the vertical movement required for the conventional method. That is, the lid closing can be improved and the lid can be opened and closed with an external force smaller than that of the conventional one.

<Second embodiment>
(Constitution)
FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a state in which the lid 3 of the hinge lid package 102 according to the second embodiment is closed. 7A and 7B are perspective views of the package 102 with the lid 3 opened. FIG. 8 shows an exploded perspective view of the package 102. The package 102 according to the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the connection structure between the outer 7a and the package body 2. In addition, about the structure similar to the package 101 which concerns on 1st embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is omitted.

In the package 102 according to the second embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, the upper wall 72 of the outer 7a includes a front region 722 and a rear region 721. However, in the package 102 according to the second embodiment, the front region 722 is not folded inward but connected to the front region of the upper wall 32 of the lid 3. As in the first embodiment, the boundary between the front region 722 and the rear region 721 functions as the second hinge 61 when the lid 3 is opened.

In the package 102 according to the second embodiment, the lower wall 71a of the outer 7a includes a front region 712a and a rear region 711a, and the depths of the

regions

712a and 711a are the depths of the package body 2, respectively. It is designed to be about a half. The lower wall 71a of the outer 7a has a cut 714 formed at the boundary between the front region 712a and the rear region 711a. This notch 714 extends linearly from the center to the front of both side edges, and inverted U-shaped U-shaped notches are provided at both ends of the notch 714. In other words, small flaps 713 protruding forward are provided at both ends of the front edge of the rear region 711a. The front region 712 a and the inner surface inside the small flap 713 are adhesion regions, and this adhesion region is adhered to the front side of the outer surface of the lower wall 26 of the outer box 21.

In the package 102 according to the second embodiment, by providing the cut 714 and the small flap 713, the lower wall 71a of the outer 7a can be elastically deformed. In other words, the lower wall 71a of the outer 7a can have an elastic function. Specifically, the boundary between the front region 712 and the rear region 711 is simply used as a hinge as a straight fold, and the entire inner surface of the front region 712 is moved forward of the lower wall 26 of the outer box 21. Compared with the first embodiment bonded to the side, the amount of movement of the package body 2 upward can be increased. As a result, the opening degree of the lid 3 can be increased.

(blank)
FIG. 9A, FIG. 9B, and FIG. 9C show each blank according to the second embodiment. The first blank B1 (see FIG. 9A) and the second blank B2 (see FIG. 9B) are the same as in the first embodiment. The fourth blank B4 ′ according to the second embodiment (see FIG. 9C) is different from the first embodiment in that a cut 714 and a small flap 713 are provided in the lower wall panel P22 ′.

(Open / close operation)
Next, the opening / closing operation | movement of the lid 3 of the package 102 which concerns on 2nd embodiment is demonstrated. 10A, 10B, and 10C are side views illustrating the operation of the hinge lid package according to the second embodiment.

In the state where the lid 3 is closed, the outer 7a and the package main body 2 are in contact with each other on the rear side of the package 102, and the outer 7a covers the rear side of the package main body 2 (see FIG. 10A). . The state in which the lid 3 is closed is the same as in the first embodiment. The outer 7a covers the rear side of the package body 2, and a package is formed by a pair of

side walls

73, 73, an upper wall 72, and a lower wall 71a. The periphery of the main body 2 is covered. In particular, the upper wall 72 and the lower wall 71a of the outer 7a restrict the vertical movement required when the lid 3 is opened. Therefore, in the package 102 according to the second embodiment, the opening and closing of the lid 3 is restricted.

When the cigarette accommodated in the package 102 is taken out, the restriction of the rotation of the lid 3 by the outer 7a is released by applying an external force forward (upward in FIG. 10A) to the package body 2. (See FIG. 10B). The state shown in FIG. 10B is also basically the same as that of the first embodiment. When an external force is applied forward to the package body 2, the package body 2 gradually moves forward, The force that restricts the vertical movement of the package body 2 by the wall 72 and the lower wall 71a is gradually weakened. When the external force applied to the front of the package body 2 exceeds the force that restricts the movement of the package body 2 in the vertical direction by the upper wall 72 and the lower wall 71a of the outer 7a, the lid 3 uses the first hinge 6 as an axis. Rotate. Here, the front side of the upper wall 32 of the lid 3 is bonded to the region 722 on the front side of the upper wall 72 of the outer 7a, but the region 721 on the rear side of the upper wall 32 of the lid 3 is not bonded. Therefore, when the lid 3 rotates about the first hinge 6, the lid 3 is allowed to rotate about the second hinge 61 existing at the boundary between the front region 722 and the rear region 721. The area on the front side of the lower wall 26 of the outer box 21 and the area inside the small flap 713 is bonded to the area 712a on the front side of the lower wall 71a of the outer 7a. The rear side of the lower wall 26 of the box 21 is not bonded. Therefore, the lower wall 26 of the outer box 21 is elastically deformed. Specifically, when the lid 3 rotates around the first hinge 6, the boundary between the front region 712 a and the rear region 711 a functions as the hinge 62 and is located outside the small flap 713. A connecting portion between the front region 712a and the rear region 711a of the lower wall 71 of the outer 7a is bent, and the lower wall 71a of the outer 7a is elastically deformed. As a result, the boundary between the front region 712 and the rear region 711 is simply a straight crease, and the entire inner surface of the front region 712 is bonded to the front side of the lower wall 26 of the outer box 21. Compared with the embodiment, it is possible to increase the amount of upward movement of the package body 2 and the lid 3 (see FIG. 10C). As a result, the opening degree of the lid 3 can be increased.

(effect)
In the package 102 according to the second embodiment, the outer 7a covers the rear side of the package 102, and the periphery of the package body 2 is covered by a pair of

side walls

73, 73, an upper wall 72, and a lower wall 71a. . In particular, the upper wall 72 and the lower wall 71a of the outer 7a restrict the vertical movement required when the lid 3 is opened. Therefore, the rotation of the lid 3 can be restricted, and the lid 3 of the package 102 can be closed more reliably. Further, since the depth of the outer 7a is about one half of the depth of the package body 2, it is necessary to open the lid 3 regulated by the upper wall 72 and the lower wall 71a of the outer 7 when an external force is applied. Thus, the restriction on the vertical movement can be released more easily than before. That is, the lid closing can be improved and the lid can be opened and closed with an external force smaller than that of the conventional one. Further, since the lower wall 71a of the outer 7a is elastically deformed, the boundary between the front region 712 and the rear region 711 is simply a straight crease, and the entire inner surface of the front region 712 is formed on the outer box 21. Compared with the first embodiment that adheres to the front side of the lower wall 26, the amount of movement of the package body 2 upward can be increased. As a result, the opening degree of the lid 3 can be increased.

However, in normal use, the tongue 45 is folded inward, and the tongue 45 and the small tongue 46 are in contact with the inner surface of the front wall 41 of the cover 4.

(blank)
The package 103 according to the third embodiment includes portions of a first blank B1 ′ for forming the outer box 21a and the lid 3a, a second blank B2 for forming the inner frame 22, and a third blank B3 for forming the cover 4. It can be formed by folding and joining. FIG. 15A shows the first blank B1 ′, FIG. 15B shows the second blank B2, and FIG. 15C shows the third blank B3. For the first blank B1 ′, the second blank B2, and the third blank B3, a paper material such as card paper or Manila cardboard, or a resin such as a plastic sheet can be used, but is not limited thereto. In the description of the blank, the description will be made with reference to the vertical direction of the drawing.

As shown to FIG. 15A, 1st blank B1 'which concerns on 3rd embodiment is 1st embodiment by the point by which the several flap 5 is provided in the both-sides edge of front wall panel P1 and front wall panel P11. And it differs from 1st blank B1 which concerns on 2nd embodiment. The upper wall panel P8 is provided with an elongate coupling hole 35 along the edge at the center of the upper edge of the front wall panel P11 which becomes the front wall 33 of the lid 3a. Further, in the first blank B1 according to the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the front wall reinforcing panel P11-1 is connected to the upper edge of the P11-1, but the first blank B1 ′ according to the third embodiment. Has a simple configuration without the front wall reinforcing panel P11-1. As shown in FIG. 15B, the second blank B2 according to the third embodiment is the same as the second blank B2 according to the first embodiment and the second embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 15C, the third blank B3 has a front wall panel P15 that becomes the front wall 41 of the cover 4, and a tongue that becomes the tongue 45 of the cover 4 is formed on the lower edge of the front wall panel P15. The part panel P16 is connected, and the upper wall panel P20 which becomes the upper wall 41 of the cover 4 is connected to the upper edge of the front wall panel P15. The tongue panel P16 is rectangular, and a small tongue 46 is provided on the lower edge. Further, side wall outer panels P17 and P17 which are outer walls of the side wall 42 of the cover 4 and side wall inner panels P18 and P18 which are inner walls of the side wall 42 of the cover 4 are successively connected to both side edges of the front wall panel P15. Inner top flaps P19 are connected to the upper edges of the side wall inner panels P18 and P18, and these inner top flaps P19 are overlapped and bonded to the upper wall panel P20 to reinforce the upper wall 41.

The first blank B1 ', the second blank B2, and the third blank B3 described above are folded at the folding lines indicated by broken lines in FIGS. 15A, 15B, and 15C, respectively. As a result, the package body 2a including the outer box 21a and the lid 3a as shown in FIGS. 11 to 14 and the cover 4 are formed. In the outer box area R1 of the first blank B1 ′, the package body is folded by each folding line, the inner bottom flap P6 is overlaid on the lower wall panel P3, and the inner side flap P5 is adhered to the side wall panel P2. The outer box 21 of 2a is shape | molded. Then, the front panel P13 of the second blank B2 is bonded to the front wall panel P1 in the outer box section R1, thereby forming the package body 2a in which the outer box 21a and the inner frame 22 are integrated.

On the other hand, in the lid area R2 of the first blank B1 ′, the lid 3a is folded by being folded at each folding line, the side wall panel P12 is bonded to the inner side flap P9, and the inner top flap P10 is overlaid on the upper wall panel P8. Is formed.

The third blank B3 is also folded at the folding line, and the inner top flap P19 is bonded to the upper wall panel P20 after being overlapped. The width of the side wall panel P18 is shorter than the width of the side wall panel P17, and the step 44 as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14B is formed by folding the side wall panel P18. The tongue panel P16 is merely folded back to the front wall panel P15 side and is not bonded. Thus, the cover 4 is formed.

(Open / close operation)
Next, the opening / closing operation of the lid 3 in the package 103 will be described. The operation described below is performed by the user appropriately applying an external force. 16A, 16B, and 16C are perspective views for explaining the operation of the package 103. FIG. 17A, 17B, and 17C are cross-sectional views for explaining the operation of the package 103, and show a state in which the cover 4 is slid from a state in which the lid 3a is closed. 17D and 17E are cross-sectional views for explaining the operation of the package 103, and show a state in which the lid 3a is rotated together with the cover 4 after the cover 4 is slid.

The package 103 is positioned so that the cover 4 covers the entire front side of the package 103 when the lid 3a is closed (see FIGS. 16A and 17A). When there is no need to take out the cigarette accommodated in the package 103 (for example, when carrying the cigarette accommodating package 103), the package 103 is normally in the state shown in FIGS. 16A and 17A. In this state, the cover 4 straddles the front wall 23 of the outer box 21a and the front wall 33 of the lid 3a, and covers the entire front wall 23 of the outer box 21a and the front wall 33 of the lid 3a. In this state, the step 44 of the cover 4 is engaged with all of the plurality of flaps 5 provided on the outer box 21 and the plurality of flaps 5 provided on the lid 3a. Thereby, opening and closing of the lid 3a is regulated.

When taking out the cigarette accommodated in the package 103, an upward external force is applied to the cover 4, and the cover 4 slides upward along the front surface of the package 103 (see FIG. 17B). The cover 4 slides while maintaining the engagement state between the step 44 of the cover 4 and the plurality of flaps 5 provided on the outer box 21 and the plurality of flaps 5 provided on the lid 3a. In a state where the step 44 of the cover 4 and the flap 5 are engaged, the movement of the cover 4 in the width direction and the front-rear direction is restricted, and only movement in the vertical direction is allowed. When the cover 4 slides upward, the engaged state is released sequentially from the lower flap 5 of the package 103.

Further, when the cover 4 slides above the package 103, the small tongue 46 of the tongue 45 of the cover 4 is coupled to the coupling hole 35 of the lid 3a (see FIGS. 16B and 17C). Specifically, the tongue portion 45 and the small tongue portion 46 of the cover 4 move upward while contacting the front wall 23 of the outer box 21a. When the small tongue portion 46 moves to the upper end edge of the front wall 23 of the outer box 21a, it then contacts the front frame 28 of the inner frame 22 and further moves upward. Here, the tongue portion 45 of the cover 4 is folded back to the inner surface side of the front wall 41 of the cover 4, and the boundary between the front wall 41 of the cover 4 and the tongue portion 45 (fold line) is formed on the tongue portion 45 of the cover 4. ) As an axis, a restoring force is acting to rotate in a direction away from the front wall 41 of the cover 4 (on the package body 2a side). On the other hand, the front frame 28 of the inner frame 22 is located on the rear side (back side) by the thickness of the front wall 23 of the outer box 21a. Therefore, the small tongue portion 46 moves in contact with the front frame 28 of the inner frame 22 after passing the upper end edge of the front wall 23 of the outer box 21a. Further, the front wall 33 of the lid 3a is also positioned on the front side of the front frame 28 of the inner frame 22 in the same manner as the front wall 23 of the outer box 21a. Therefore, when the small tongue portion 46 moves further upward while being in contact with the front frame 28 of the inner frame 22, it enters the lid 3 a from the lower end edge of the front wall 33 of the lid 3 a. And the small tongue part 46 moves further upward along the inner surface of the front wall 33 of the lid 3a. When the tongue 45 and the small tongue 46 move upward in the lid 3 a, the tongue 45 is supported by the front frame 28 of the inner frame 22 on the rear surface of the tongue 45. Moreover, when the cigarette is fully accommodated in the package 103, the tongue part 45 is supported by the cigarette which accommodated the surface of the back side. Therefore, the rotation of the tongue 45 is regulated by the front frame 28 and the cigarette of the inner frame 22, and the tongue 45 and the small tongue 46 move upward along the inner surface of the front wall 33 of the lid 3 a. And the small tongue part 46 couple | bonds with the coupling hole 35 provided in the upper end edge of the front wall 33 of the lid 3a. If the small tongue part 46 couple | bonds with the coupling hole 35, the open edge 451 of the tongue part 45 will contact | connect the upper wall 32 of the lid 3a, and the upward movement of the cover 4 will be controlled. The configuration in which the small tongue portion 46 is guided to the coupling hole 35, such as a configuration in which the front frame 28 of the inner frame 22 is positioned on the rear side (back side) by the thickness of the front wall 23 of the outer box 21, is the guidance of the present invention. It corresponds to the part.

When the small tongue portion 46 is coupled to the coupling hole 35, the lid 3a can be rotated, and when an external force for opening the lid 3a is applied, the package 103 is opened. Specifically, when the cover 4 is slid to the lid 3a side, the cover 4 is in a state of covering only the lid. In other words, the step 44 of the cover 4 is completely disengaged from the flap 5 of the outer box 21a and is engaged only with the flap 5 of the lid 3a. Therefore, the restriction on the rotation of the lid 3a is released, and the lid 3a is rotatable about the first hinge 6 (see FIGS. 16C, 17D, and 17E). When the lid 3a rotates, the small tongue portion 46 of the cover 4 and the coupling hole 35 of the lid 3a are coupled, so that the lid 3a rotates together with the cover 4. The cigarette accommodated in the package 103 can be taken out by opening the lid 3a. The opening degree of the lid 3 a can be appropriately changed according to the number of cigarettes accommodated in the package 103. Note that the package 103 according to the third embodiment can be formed in an inverted V shape when the package 103 is opened as shown in FIG. 17E. Therefore, the package 103 can be placed on a plane (for example, on a desk or a table) in a state where the package 103 is slightly tilted rearward from the vertical body. In addition, when the lid 3a is opened, the cover 4 can be separated from the lid 3a by moving the cover 4 downward (toward the lower edge of the front wall 33 of the lid 3a).

When the lid 3a is changed from the open state to the closed state, an operation opposite to the above-described rotation operation is performed. Specifically, when an external force for closing the lid 3a is applied, the lid 3a rotates together with the cover 4 to be in a closed state. When a downward external force is applied to the cover 4 with the lid 3a closed, the lid 3a slides downward, and the step 44 engaged only with the flap 5 of the lid 3a gradually becomes the outer box 21a. The flap 5 is also engaged. When the cover 4 slides to a position where the lower edge of the cover 4 coincides with the lower edge of the front wall 23 of the outer box 21a, the inner surface of the upper wall 43 of the cover 4 comes into contact with the upper wall 32 of the lid 3a, and the cover 4 slides downward. Be regulated. And the cover 4 will be in the state which covers all the front sides of the package 103. FIG. As a result, opening / closing of the lid 3a is restricted.

(effect)
In the package 103 according to the third embodiment, the cover 4 covers the outer box 21a and the lid 3a so as to restrict the rotation of the lid 3a when the lid 3a is closed. Therefore, the lid 3a of the package 103 can be closed more reliably. In addition to the package body 2a and the lid 3a, the cover 4 can be further printed. Therefore, the package 103 can secure more printing space than before, and can increase the appeal to consumers. Note that the surface of the package body 2a and the cover 4 may be further embossed, thickened with varnishes, or subjected to electrostatic flocking to increase the appeal force.

<Fourth embodiment>
(Constitution)
FIG. 18 shows a state in which the package 104 with the lid 3 closed is viewed from diagonally right above the front side in the package 104 according to the fourth embodiment. The same components as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

The package 104 according to the fourth embodiment does not include an inner frame, and has a simpler configuration with fewer parts than, for example, the package 103 according to the third embodiment. Further, the lower end edge of the front wall 33a of the lid 3b is formed in an inverted U shape so as to match the shape of the upper end edge of the front wall 23 of the outer box 21b, and the front wall 33a of the lid 3b is trapezoidal. An opening 36b through which the tongue 45a and the small tongue 46a of the cover 4a pass is provided at the center of the lower edge of the front wall 33a of the lid 3b. The opening 36b is provided along the lower end edge of the front wall 33a of the lid 3b and has a rectangular shape. The opening (length in the width direction) of the opening 36b is designed such that the tongue 45a passes to a position where the small tongue 46a can be coupled to the coupling hole 35 provided in the lid 3b. Moreover, the rectangular support plate 36a which supports the tongue part 45a and the small tongue part 46a is provided in the lower end edge of the front wall 33a of the lid 3b. The support plate 36a has a rectangular shape and is folded back to the inner surface side of the front wall 33a of the lid 3b. The support plate 36a supports the tongue portion 45a and the small tongue portion 46a from the inside when the cover 4a slides instead of the inner frame 22 of the package 101 according to the first embodiment. The support plate 36a may be simply folded back, or both end edges may be bonded to the inner surface of the front wall 33a of the lid 3b. By bonding, the support plate 36a can more stably support the tongue portion 45a and the small tongue portion 46a.

The tongue portion 45a of the cover 4a is roughly a home base type, and is provided with a small tongue portion 45a on the apex side (opposite the lower edge), and an open edge 451a extending from the small tongue portion 45a is hatched. The width of the tongue 45a is formed smaller than the opening 36b, and the small tongue 46a and the tongue 45a can pass through the opening 36b more smoothly.

(blank)
The package 104 according to the fourth embodiment is formed by folding and joining the first blank B1 ″ for forming the outer box 21b and the lid 3b and the third blank B3 ′ for forming the cover 4. FIG. 19A shows the first blank B1 ″, and FIG. 19B shows the third blank B3 ′. In the description of the blank, description will be made with reference to the vertical direction of the drawing.

As shown in FIG. 19A, in the blank according to the fourth embodiment, in the first blank B1 ″, the front wall panel P11 ′ has a trapezoidal shape, and this edge is formed at the center of the upper edge of the front wall panel P11 ′. Is provided with an opening 36b. A support panel P11-1 serving as a support plate 36a is connected to the upper edge of the front wall panel P11 '.

Further, as shown in FIG. 19B, in the third blank B3 ', a small tongue portion 46a is provided at the lower end edge of the home base type tongue panel P16'.

(Open / close operation)
20A, 20B, and 20C are cross-sectional views illustrating the operation of the package 104 according to the fourth embodiment. The package 104 is positioned so that the cover 4a covers the entire front side of the package 101 when the lid 3a is closed (see FIG. 20A).

When taking out the cigarette accommodated in the package 104, an upward external force is applied to the cover 4, and the cover 4a slides upward along the front surface of the package 104 (see FIG. 20B). Further, when the cover 4a slides above the package 104, the small tongue portion 46a of the tongue portion 45a of the cover 4a is coupled to the coupling hole 35 of the lid 3b (see FIG. 20C). Specifically, the tongue portion 45a and the small tongue portion 46a of the cover 4a move upward while contacting the front wall 23 of the outer box 21b. When the small tongue portion 46a moves to the upper end edge of the front wall 23 of the outer box 21b, it then passes through the opening portion 36b and further contacts the support plate 36a. Here, the restoring force is acting on the tongue part 45a of the cover 4a like the tongue part 4 which concerns on 3rd embodiment. On the other hand, the support plate 36a is positioned on the rear side (back side) by the thickness of the front wall 23 of the outer box 21b. Therefore, the small tongue portion 46a moves through the opening 36b while being supported by the support plate 36a. Then, the rotation of the tongue 45a is regulated by the support plate 36a, and the tongue 45a and the small tongue 46a move upward along the inner surface of the front wall 33a of the lid 3a. And the small tongue part 46a couple | bonds with the coupling hole 35 provided in the upper end edge of the front wall 33a of the lid 3b. When the small tongue 46a is coupled to the coupling hole 35, the open edge 451a of the tongue 45a contacts the upper wall 32 of the lid 3a, and the upward movement of the cover 4a is restricted. In addition, the structure which guide | induces the small tongue part 46 to the coupling hole 35, such as the support plate 36a and the opening part 36b, is equivalent to the guidance | induction part of this invention.

Although illustration is omitted, when the small tongue portion 46a is coupled to the coupling hole 35, the lid 3b can be rotated and the package 104 can be opened. When the lid 3b rotates, the small tongue portion 46a of the cover 4a and the coupling hole 35 of the lid 3b are coupled to each other, so that the lid 3b rotates together with the cover 4a. The cigarette accommodated in the package 104 can be taken out by opening the lid 3b. The opening degree of the lid 3 b can be appropriately changed according to the number of cigarettes accommodated in the package 104. Moreover, the package 104 can also be made into an inverted V shape in the open state. In addition, when the lid 3b is opened, the cover 4a can be separated from the package body 2b by moving the cover 4a downward (toward the lower edge of the front wall 33a of the lid 3b).

(effect)
In the package 104 according to the fourth embodiment, the cover 4a covers the lid 3b and the outer box 21b so that the rotation of the lid 3b can be restricted in a state where the lid 3b is closed. Therefore, the lid 3b of the package 104 can be closed more reliably. In addition to the package body 2b and the lid 3b, the cover 4a can be further printed. Therefore, the package 104 can secure more printing space than before, and can increase the appeal to consumers.

Furthermore, the package 104 according to the fourth embodiment does not include an inner frame, and the number of parts can be reduced as compared with the package 103 according to the third embodiment. Therefore, the package 104 can have a simpler configuration.

<Fifth embodiment>
(Constitution)
The package 105 according to the fifth embodiment is configured to include both the cover 4b and the outer 7a. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the structure similar to embodiment already demonstrated, and description is omitted.

FIG. 21 shows a state in which the package 105 with the lid 3a closed is viewed from diagonally right above the front side. FIG. 22 shows a state in which the package 105 in which the lid 3a to which the cover 4b and the outer 7a are coupled is opened is viewed from diagonally right above the front side. FIG. 23 shows a state in which the package 105 with the cover 4b and the outer 7a removed from the package 105 and the lid 3a opened is viewed from diagonally right above the front side. The outer 7a can be made of the same material as the package body 2a and the cover 4b, for example, a paper material or a plastic sheet, but is not limited thereto.

The package body 2a includes an outer box 21a and a lid 3a. The package 105 includes a cover 4b on the front side of the package body 2a. The cover 4b covers the entire front wall 23 of the outer box 21a and the front wall 33 of the lid 3a when the lid 3a is closed. The configuration of the cover 4b is basically the same as that of the first embodiment. However, in the fifth embodiment, when the small tongue portion 46b has a bowl shape and the small tongue portion 46b is coupled to the coupling hole 35, It is configured so that the state is difficult to be released. The inner frame 22 is not an essential member for configuring the package 101. That is, the inner frame 22 may be omitted, and the package 105 may have a simpler configuration.

The package 105 according to the fifth embodiment further includes an outer 7a on the rear side of the package body 2a. The outer 7a covers the entire surface of the rear wall 24 of the outer box 21a and the rear wall 31 of the lid 3a.

(blank)
In the fifth embodiment, the package 105 includes a first blank B1 '' for molding the outer box 21a and the lid 3a, a second blank B2 for molding the inner frame 22, and a third blank B3 '' for molding the cover 4b. And it can shape | mold by folding each place of 4th blank B4 'which shape | molds the outer 7a, and joining. FIG. 24A shows the first blank B1 ″, FIG. 24B shows the second blank B2, FIG. 24C shows the third blank B3 ″, and FIG. 24D shows the fourth blank B4 ′. For the first blank B1 ″, the second blank B2, the third blank B3 ″, and the fourth blank B4 ′, a paper material such as card paper or Manila cardboard, or a resin such as a plastic sheet can be used. The first blank B1 '' is the same as in the fourth embodiment. The second blank B2 is the same as in the first embodiment. The third blank B3 ″ is the same as that of the fourth embodiment except that a tongue-shaped small tongue portion 46b is provided on the tongue portion panel P16 ′. Moreover, 4th blank B4 'is the same as that of 2nd embodiment.

(Open / close operation)
Next, the opening / closing operation of the lid 3a of the package 105 according to the fifth embodiment will be described. 25A, 25B, 25C, and 25D are cross-sectional views for explaining the operation of the hinge lid package according to the fifth embodiment. The operation of the cover 4b is basically the same as that of the third embodiment, and the operation of the outer 7a is basically the same as that of the second embodiment.

In the state where the lid 3a is closed, the cover 105 covers the entire front side of the package 105, and the outer 7a covers the rear side of the package 105 (see FIG. 25A). When it is not necessary to take out the cigarette accommodated in the package 105, the package 105 is normally in the state shown in FIG. 25A. In this state, the cover 4b straddles the front wall 23 of the outer box 21a and the front wall 33 of the lid 3a, and covers the entire front wall 23 of the outer box 21a and the front wall 33 of the lid 3a. In this state, the step 44 of the cover 4b is engaged with all of the plurality of flaps 5 provided on the outer box 21a and the plurality of flaps 5 provided on the lid 3a. Thereby, opening and closing of the lid 3 is regulated. Furthermore, in the fifth embodiment, the outer 7 a covers the rear side of the package 105, and the package body 2 a is covered with a pair of

side walls

73, 73, an upper wall 72, and a lower wall 71. In particular, the upper wall 72 and the lower wall 71a of the outer 7a restrict the vertical movement required when opening the lid 3a. Therefore, in the package 105 according to the fifth embodiment, the opening and closing of the lid 3a is more firmly regulated.

When taking out the cigarette accommodated in the package 105, an upward external force is applied to the cover 4b, and the cover 4b slides upward along the front surface of the package 105 (see FIG. 25B). Further, when the cover 4b slides above the package 105, the small tongue portion 46b of the tongue portion 45 of the lid 3a is coupled to the coupling hole 35 of the lid 3b. When the small tongue portion 46b is coupled to the coupling hole 35, the open edge 451 of the tongue portion 45 is in contact with the upper wall 32 of the lid 3, and the upward movement of the cover 4b is restricted. And the cover 4b will be in the state which covers only the front wall 33 of the lid 3a. The step 44 of the cover 4 is completely disengaged from the flap 5 of the outer box 21a, and is engaged only with the flap 5 of the lid 3a. Therefore, the restriction on the rotation of the lid 3a by the cover 4b is released. In the package 103 according to the third embodiment, when the restriction on the rotation of the lid 3a by the cover 4 is released, the lid 3a can rotate about the first hinge 6 (FIGS. 16C, 17D, FIG. 17E). On the other hand, in the package 105 according to the fifth embodiment, the rotation of the lid 3a is also restricted by the outer 7a.

In the package 105 according to the fifth embodiment, the restriction of the rotation of the lid 3a by the outer 7a is released by applying an external force forward (upward in FIG. 25A) to the package body 2a (FIG. 25C). reference). Specifically, when a forward external force is applied to the package body 2a, the package body 2a gradually moves forward, and the package body 2a moves in the vertical direction by the upper wall 72 and the lower wall 71a of the outer 7a. Is gradually weakened (see FIG. 25B). When the external force applied to the front of the package body 2a exceeds the force that restricts the movement of the package body 2a in the vertical direction by the upper wall 72 and the lower wall 71a of the outer 7a, the lid 3a has the first hinge 6 as an axis. It rotates (see FIG. 25C). Here, the front side of the upper wall 32 of the lid 3a is bonded to the region 722 on the front side of the upper wall 72 of the outer 7a, but the rear side of the upper wall 32 of the lid 3a is not bonded. Therefore, when the lid 3a rotates about the first hinge 6, the lid 3a is allowed to rotate about the second hinge 61 existing at the boundary between the front region 722 and the rear region 721. In addition, the area on the front side of the lower wall 26 of the outer box 21a and the area inside the small flap 713 are bonded to the area 712a on the front side of the lower wall 71a of the outer 7a. The rear side of the lower wall 26 of the box 21a is not bonded. Therefore, the lower wall 71a of the outer 7 is elastically deformed. Specifically, when the lid 3a rotates about the first hinge 6, the boundary between the front region 712a and the rear region 711a functions as a hinge and is located outside the small flap 713. The connecting portion between the front region 712a and the rear region 711a of the lower wall 71a of 7a is bent, and the lower wall 71a of the outer 7a is elastically deformed. Accordingly, the boundary between the front region 712 and the rear region 711 is simply a straight crease, and the entire inner surface of the front region 712 is bonded to the front side of the lower wall 26 of the outer box 21. In comparison, the amount of upward movement of the package body 2a can be increased (see FIG. 25D). As a result, the opening degree of the lid 3a can be increased.

(effect)
In the package 105 according to the fifth embodiment, the cover 4b covers the outer box 21a and the lid 3a so as to restrict the rotation of the lid 3a when the lid 3a is closed. Also, since the rotation of the lid 3a can be restricted by the outer 7a, the rotation of the lid 3a can be more strongly restricted. Therefore, the lid 3a of the package 105 can be closed more reliably. Further, the cover 4b can be further printed in addition to the package body 2a and the lid 3a. Therefore, the package 105 can secure more printing space than before, and can increase the appeal to consumers. Furthermore, unlike the configuration including only the cover 4b, the outer surface of the package 105 becomes uniform, and a step on the outer surface can be eliminated. As a result, it is possible to suppress catching when the package 105 is accommodated in a pocket or the like of clothes.

<Modification>
Note that the

packages

101, 102, 103, 104, and 105 according to the embodiments described above can be combined as appropriate, and various modifications can be added. For example, the plurality of flaps 5 in the

packages

103, 104, and 105 are all arranged at the same size and at equal intervals. However, the flap 5 may have a change in size or a change in interval. For example, the shape or interval of the flap 5 of the outer box 21a may be different from the shape or interval of the flap 5 of the lid 3a. Thereby, the vibration at the time of sliding the cover 4 changes. By transmitting this vibration change to the user's finger, the user recognizes, for example, that the cover 4 has been slid to the lid 3a side and the lid 3a can be opened and closed without visual inspection. be able to.

Also, instead of the plurality of flaps 5, a continuous rail by connecting a plurality of flaps may be used. In this case, the package may be made of paper, but the package can be more easily formed by using resin.

Further, the plurality of flaps 5 may be provided on both side edges on the rear side of the package body 2a. In this case, the cover 4 may be configured to include a lower wall instead of the upper wall 43. In this case, the upper wall 43 of the cover 4, the tongue 45, and the coupling hole 35 of the lid 3 are not necessary, and the package 103 has a simpler configuration, for example. In this case, the lid 3a can be opened and closed by sliding the cover 4 downward.

Further, the cover 4 may be constituted by the front wall 41 and the side wall 42. Also in this case, the upper wall 43 of the cover 4, the tongue 45, and the coupling hole 35 of the lid 3 are unnecessary, and the package 103 has a simpler configuration, for example. In this case, the lid 4 can be opened and closed by sliding the cover 4 upward or downward.

Further, the cover 4 only needs to cover the outer box 21 and the lid 3a, and may cover a part of the front wall 33 of the lid 3a and a part of the front wall 23 of the outer box 21a.

The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the hinge lid package according to the present invention can be implemented by combining the embodiments as much as possible. Further, in the present embodiment, cigarette products such as filter cigarettes and double-cut cigarettes are cited as suitable application examples of the objects to be accommodated in the hinge lid package, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and articles other than tobacco products May be contained in a package.
