- Figure ⁇ shows an assembled tobacco industry product pack ⁇ comprising a container 2 and a lid 3 pivotally attached to the container 2. Together the container 2 and the lid 3 form an outer pack 4 of the tobacco industry product pack 1 and are formed from a stiff resilient material, for example cardboard, so that the container 2 and lid 3 retain their shape and protect the contents of the pack 4.
- the outer pack 4 is of conventional construction and is commonly referred to in the industry as a "hinged- lid" pack. Therefore, no further description of it will be provided here.
- Figure 2 shows the lid 3 in an opened position.
- a wrapped bundle 27 of tobacco industry products is received in the container 2 and protrudes from its open end.
- the tobacco industry products (not shown) are generally rod shaped and are arranged in rows within a flexible wrapping material 28 which serves as a barrier layer and may provide a sealed protective environment to keep the tobacco industry products fresh and to prevent contamination.
- the wrapped bundle 27 is shown in Figure 3. When received in the container 2, the wrapped bundle 27 extends beyond the open end of the container 2.
- the wrapping material 28 is provided with a closure line 65 that defines an access portion 31 in a body portion 32 that is separable from the body portion 32 along the closure line 65 to provide a tobacco industry product extraction aperture 35.
- a section of the wrapping material 28 taken across the closure line 65 is shown in figure 4.
- the closure line 65 may be a line of weakening, such as a partial cut through the wrapping material 28 so that application of modest force to the access portion 31 detaches the access portion 31 from the body portion 32 of the wrapping material 28 along the closure line 65.
- closure line 65 is positioned across the wrapping material 28 such that, when it is wrapped about a bundle of tobacco industry products and inserted into the receiving space 20 of the container, the access portion 31 defined by the closure line 65 is accessible above the open end of the container 2 and extends over a top face 33 of the bundle 27.
- a cover flap 36 is provided that extends over the access portion 31 of the wrapping material 28.
- the cover flap 36 has a peripheral region 38 that extends beyond the closure line 65 to which releasable adhesive is applied to releasably attach the cover flap 36 to an outer surface of the body portion 32 of the wrapping material 28.
- the cover flap 36 is formed of a separate polymer sheet attached to the outer surface of the wrapping material 28.
- the releasable adhesive is a pressure sensitive adhesive 44 applied to the cover flap 36 in the peripheral region 38 to releasably secure the cover flap 36 to the wrapping material 28.
- the cover flap 36 extends over to the rear face 30 of the wrapped bundle 27 and is permanently adhered thereto along a far edge 37 of the cover flap 36.
- a tab 39 extends from a lower edge of the cover flap 36 closest to the upper edge 21 of the container 2 and adjacent what shall hereinafter be referred to as the bottom edge 40 of the closure line 65.
- the tab 39 is an extension of the cover flap 36 that protrudes from the peripheral region 38 and is devoid of any adhesive. Therefore, a user of the pack 4 can grip the tab 39 and lift it away from the wrapping material 28 to peel back the cover flap 36 against the resistance of the pressure sensitive adhesive 44.
- the same pressure sensitive adhesive 44 maybe applied to the cover flap 36 so that it adheres to the access portion 31 of the wrapping material 28.
- the force required to separate the access portion 31 from the body portion 32 of the wrapping material 28 along the closure line 65 is less than the strength of the adhesive between the cover flap 36 and the access portion 31 so that the access portion 31 remains attached to the cover flap 36 as it is peeled away from the body portion 31 to provide the tobacco industry product extraction aperture 35.
- permanent adhesive 43 is applied between the cover flap 36 and the access portion 31 of the wrapping material 28 to more securely retain it thereto and pressure sensitve releasable adhesive 44 is applied only in the peripheral region 38 of the cover flap 36.
- the pressure sensitive adhesive 44 allows for the cover flap 36 to be removed multiple times and still be resealed.
- cover flap 36 is adhered to an inner surface of a front panel 12 of the lid 3, as shown in figures 17 and 18, so that upon opening the lid 3 the cover flap 36 is simultaneously lifted away from the wrapping material 28 to provide the aperture 35.
- Permanent adhesive is applied to a portion of the cover flap 36 adjacent the lower edge 24 of the front panel 12 of the lid 3. As shown in figure 17, adhesive is applied to an outer surface of the cover flap 36 in a strip along a front edge 68 of the cover flap 36 adjacent the lower edge 24 of the front panel 12 of the lid 3 so that it is adhered directly thereto.
- adhesive is applied in a strip adjacent the front edge 68 of the cover flap 36 on an inner surface of the cover flap 36, the cover flap 36 being folded along the strip of adhesive and adhered to the inner surface of the front panel 12 of the lid 3 when the lid 3 is in the closed position, the cover flap 36 being unfolded along the strip as the lid 3 is moved into an open position.
- the tobacco industry product packet further comprises a rupturable pouch 49 containing an organoleptic substance which is designed to be ruptured upon initial opening of the wrapped bundle 27, that is, when the access portion 31 is separated from the body portion 32 along the closure line 65.
- the pouch 49 is disposed across an outer edge 57 of the cover flap 36 such that a first portion 50 of the pouch 49 is adhered to the outer surface of the wrapping material 28 and a second portion 51 to the upper surface of the cover flap 36. Therefore, when the cover flap 36 is first lifted away from the wrapping material 28, the second portion 51 of the pouch 49 adhered to the cover flap 36 is separated from the first portion 50 adhered to the wrapping material 28 to rupture the pouch 49 and release the organoleptic substance 52, as depicted in figure 8.
- FIG 9 shows a cross section through the pouch 49 where it overlaps the wrapping material 28 and cover flap 36.
- the pouch 49 is made from a polymer outer 53.
- the polymer outer 53 may comprise two layers of polymer material with the edges of the layers aligned and welded together to form a welded region 54 around the perimeter of the pouch 49.
- the weld binds the layers together and creates a hermetically sealed chamber 55 in which the organoleptic substance 52 is received.
- the weld also attaches the pouch 49 to the wrapping material 28 and to the cover flap 36.
- the pressure inside the pouch 49 can optionally be greater than atmospheric pressure so that, when the pouch 49 is ruptured, the pressure differential aids the evacuation of the organoleptic substance 52.
- Another option is to make the pressure inside the pouch 49 less than atmospheric pressure so that, when the pouch 49 is ruptured, atmospheric pressure compressing the pouch 49 aids the evacuation of organoleptic substance 52.
- a notch 56 may extend from an outer edge of the pouch 49 into the welded region 54 to create a weakening in the pouch 49.
- the notch 56 consists of a V-shaped cut in the welded region 54.
- the welded region 54 is indicated by a dashed line.
- the pouch 49 may further comprise some other form of weakening (not shown) along which the pouch 49 ruptures when the cover flap 36 is peeled back.
- the weakening may be a line of reduced wall thickness of the polymer outer 53.
- the line of reduced wall thickness may extends from the tip of a V shaped notch 56.
- the entire pouch 49 may be formed from a relatively weak material that tears without undue force upon peeling back the cover flap 36.
- the pouch 49 is adhered to the wrapping material 28 in such a position that the outer edge 57 of the cover flap 36 bisects the V shaped notch 56. Therefore, as the cover flap 36 is lifted away from the wrapping material 28, the cover flap 36 and the wrapping material 28 separate along the outer edge 57 and through the V shaped notch 56 to induce a tear in the pouch 49 and cause the pouch 49 to rupture.
- the tear propagates from the tip of the V of the notch 56 and extends through the body of the pouch 49 to create an opening in the pouch 49 to expose the organoleptic substance 52. Where the weakening is present, propagation of the tear is more easily facilitated and directed along the line defined by the weakening.
- the pouch 49 is disposed on the front face 29 of the bundle 27, it shall be appreciated that the pouch 49 can be positioned anywhere along the outer edge 57 of the cover flap 36. For example, the pouch 49 could be positioned over the outer edge 57 where it extends across the top face 33 of the bundle 27.
- the pouch 49 is disposed between the cover flap 36 and the wrapping material 28.
- the advantage of such embodiments is that the pouch 49 is not visible prior to an initial opening of the bundle 27.
- the pouch 49 is disposed entirely in the peripheral region 38 between the cover flap 36 and the wrapping material 28.
- An upper layer 69 of the polymer outer 53 of the pouch 49 is adhered to an inner surface of the peripheral region 38 of the cover flap 36, and a bottom layer 70 of the polymer outer 53 is adhered to the wrapping material 28. Therefore, when the user peels back the cover flap 36 the two layers 69, 70 of the polymer outer 53 of the pouch 49 separate to rupture the pouch 49 and release the organoleptic substance 52.
- the adhesive used can optionally be a pressure sensitive releasable adhesive, in which case it must be ensured that the force required to separate the upper layer 69 and the bottom layer 70 of the pouch 49 is less than the strength of the releasable adhesive. This allows for the same adhesive to be applied across the inner surface of the cover flap 36 for ease of manurfacturing.
- a permanent adhesive can be applied specifically to the pouch 49.
- the pouch 49 is disposed across the closure line 65 and is adhered to both the access portion 31 and the body portion 32 of the wrapping material 28, as well as to the cover flap 36. Therefore, when the cover flap 36 is peeled back and the access portion 31 is removed from the body portion 32, a portion of the pouch 49 remains attached to the body portion 32 and a portion remains attached to the access portion 31 to rupture the pouch 49 and release the organoleptic substance 52.
- the pouch 49 may comprise a weakening such as a notch aligned with the closure line 65 to reduce the force required to peel back the cover flap 36 and the adhesive used can be a permanent or releasable adhesive as required.
- the wrapping material 28 is a laminate material comprising an inner barrier layer 41 and an outer layer 42.
- the access portion 31 is formed in the inner barrier layer 41 and the cover flap 36 is formed in the outer layer 42. Therefore the cover flap 36 is integrally formed with the wrapping material 28.
- the wrapping material 28 maybe made from a plastics/metal foil laminate.
- the inner layer 41 and the outer layer 42 are bonded together with adhesive 43 that is distributed over the interface between the layers 41, 42.
- a first cut 45 is made through the outer layer 42 to form the outer edge 57 of the cover flap 36.
- a second cut 47 is made through the inner layer 41 to form the closure line 65 and define the access portion 31. The cuts 45, 47 run parallel along an extended U shaped path.
- the pouch 49 is disposed on an external surface of the wrapping material 28 overlapping the outer edge 57 of the cover flap 36.
- the first portion 50 of the pouch 49 is adhered to the outer surface of the outer layer 42 of the body portion 32 of the wrapping material 28 and the second portion 51 to the upper surface of the cover flap 36. Therefore, when the cover flap 36 is first peeled back to separate the access portion 31 from the body portion 32 and provide the extraction aperture 35, the first portion 50 of the pouch 49 is separated from the second portion 51 along the outer edge 57 of the cover flap 36 to rupture the pouch 49 and release the organoleptic substance 52.
- the first cut 45 is only made partially through the outer layer 42 to form a line of weakening.
- This has the advantage of forming a complete seal to prevent the ingress of any contaminants before the first opening of the cover flap 36. On first opening the user can peel back the cover flap 36 causing the line of weakening to rupture.
- the wrapper 28 material is a laminate material as described above.
- the pouch 49 is pocketed into the laminate between the inner barrier layer 41 and the outer layer 42.
- the organoleptic substance 52 is received in a pouch 49 directly between the inner and outer layers 41, 42 of the laminate.
- the pouch 49 is disposed in the peripheral region 38 between the cover flap 36 and the inner layer 41 of the wrapping material 28.
- the upper layer 69 of the polymer outer 53 of the pouch 49 is adhered to an inner surface of the peripheral region 38 of the cover flap 36, and the bottom layer 70 of the polymer outer 53 is adhered to the inner layer 41 of the body portion 32 of the wrapping material 28.
- the adhesive used can optionally be a pressure sensitive releasable adhesive, in which case it must be ensured that the force required to separate the upper layer 69 and the bottom layer 70 of the pouch 49 is less than the strength of the releasable adhesive.
- a permanent adhesive can be applied specifically to the pouch 49.
- a permanent adhesive can be applied between layers 41, 42 of the laminate other than in the peripheral region 38 to create a more robust laminate.
- the pouch 49 is disposed across the closure line 65 and is adhered to both the access portion 31 and the body portion 32 of the inner layer 41 of the wrapping material 28, as well as to the cover flap 36. Therefore, when the cover flap 36 is peeled back, a portion of the pouch 49 remains attached to the body portion 32 and a portion remains attached to the access portion 31 to rupture the pouch 49 and release the organoleptic substance 52.
- the pouch 49 may comprise a weakening such as a notch aligned with the closure line 65 to reduce the force required to peel back the cover flap 36 and the adhesive used can be a permanent or releasable adhesive as required.
- the cover flap 36 is attached to the inner surface of the front panel 12 of the lid 3 in the manner described above and as shown in figures 17 and 18. Therefore, upon opening the lid 3 the cover flap 36 is simultaneously lifted away from the wrapping material 28 to provide the aperture 35.
- the pouch 49 is adhered to both the outer surface of the cover flap 36 and to the inner surface of the front panel 12 of the lid 3.
- the lid 3 is rotated about a hinge line 19 where it is attached to the container 2 (see figure 1). This causes the front panel 12 of the lid 3 to move in an arc away from the cover flap 36 and impart both a pulling and shearing force on the pouch 49 attached therebetween causing the pouch 49 to rupture.
- Embodiments of the invention provide a wrapped bundle 27 of tobacco industry products comprising a rupturable pouch 49 as described above in connection with any of figures 7 to 11 and 13 to 15.
- Embodiments of the invention may also provide a tobacco industry product pack 1 comprising the wrapped bundle 27 as described above in connection with any of figures 7 to 11 and 13 to 15.
- a tobacco industry product pack 1 comprising the wrapped bundle 27 as described above in connection with any of figures 7 to 11 and 13 to 15.
- the rupturable pouch 49 is provided on an exterior surface of a tobacco industry product pack 1 bridging the lid 3 and the container 2 so that, when the lid 3 is moved into the opened position, as shown in figure 2, the rupturable pouch 49 is caused to rupture and the organoleptic substance 52 is released.
- Various embodiments may suitably comprise, consist of, or consist essentially of, various combinations of the disclosed elements, - ⁇ 5 - components, features, parts, steps, means, etc.
- the disclosure includes other inventions not presently claimed, but which may be claimed in future.
