In order to describe button (15), can introduce some tangible notes.

Fig. 6 illustrates paperboard blank (30), and previously described cigarette case (1) can be made by it.In Fig. 6, the parts of before having described have identical label.And broken line is shown in broken lines, and line of cut illustrates with heavy line.

Obviously, (30) rectangular strips of paperboard blank, the width of its width and the second main wall (4) and adjacent wall (7,8) equates.This means that making cigarette case (1) needs very little material consumption.

Fig. 7-12 illustrates the several steps that paperboard blank (30) is transformed into cigarette case (1).

Fig. 7 illustrates the paperboard blank (30) that is in flat condition.At this, each sidewall (7,8) is critical by the broken line and the second main wall (4).The long side of diapire (5) is critical by the broken line and the second main wall (4), and the first main wall (3) is critical with another long side of diapire (5) by broken line (12).Corresponding side tabs (20,21) is critical by the broken line and the first main wall (3) respectively.Side tabs (20,21) is positioned on the extendible portion of sidewall (7,8) and permanent joint sheet (31-34).

The long side of one of them of rectangular top wall (6) is critical by broken line and the second main wall (4), and its another to grow side critical by broken line and intermediate wall portion (35).At opposite side, intermediate wall portion is critical by broken line (26) and connector (25).

Button wall part (17) is positioned on the extendible portion of the first and second main walls (3,4), diapire (5), roof (6) and intermediate wall portion (35) and connector (25).

Side tabs (23,24) and button wall part (17) are critical and be positioned on the extendible portion of sidewall (7,8).

The critical edges (36,37) of the weak point of paperboard blank (30) has complementary shape, thereby can rectangularly produce many paperboard blank and can waste material from one.

In Fig. 8, permanent joint sheet (31,32,33,34) is folding in the short side of sidewall (7,8), and this tab (31-34) is used for to set the orientation diapire (5), sidewall (7,8) and roof (6) is fixing with respect to the second main wall (4).

In Fig. 9, sidewall (7,8) is with respect to the second main wall (4) location that meets at right angles.Simultaneously, side tabs (20,21) is with respect to the first main wall (3) location that meets at right angles.

In Figure 10, roof (6) is with respect to the second main wall (4) location that meets at right angles.Other side tabs (23,24) meets at right angles folding with respect to button wall part (17).

In Figure 11, intermediate wall portion (35) goes up folding at tab (33,34), thereby wall part (35) extends along the inboard of roof (6).In addition, fold line (26) now is between the roof (6) and the second main wall (4).Preferably, wall part (35) in this stationkeeping on roof (6) and/or tab (33,34).

Connector (25) is resisted against the inboard of the second main wall (4) with button wall part (17) and need not to be connected with it.This makes button wall part (17) stride across the opening (16) of the second main wall (4).Side tabs (23,24) is along the inboard of sidewall (7,8).

In Figure 12, apparent, diapire (5) folds and is fixed on the tab (31,32).So, finally have only the first main wall (3) need be parallel so that closed cigarette case along the second main wall (4).

Certainly, before cigarette case (1) closure, cigarette must be placed in the cigarette case.This can be arranged in Figure 10,11 or 12 step or realize to the process of another step transitions from a step in for example paperboard blank.As required, cigarette also can be encapsulated in aluminium foil or the analogue.

In the accompanying drawings, specifically as shown in Figure 6, as can be seen, the top edge zone of the first main wall (3) is provided with a removable part (37), and this part is critical with a for example perforation (38).In case cigarette case is opened, this part (38) can be removed, so that the better grasping to cigarette is provided.Yet this scheme is not to exist.This part of supposition (38) is removed in Fig. 1,3,4.

The operation and the use of cigarette case (1) are described with reference to Figure 13 a-d at last.

Figure 13 a illustrates from the cigarette case (1) of the closure of second main wall (4) side observation, and Figure 13 b illustrates the side of closed cigarette case.Be shown in dotted line the position of button openings (16).

When the customer with finger press at button (15) and when pressing against button wall part (17) thus and going up, this makes the main wall (3) of winning produce the radial type motion, shown in Figure 13 c.Then, connecting bridge (25) also carries out the radial type motion.

Button (15) can be continued pushing and be reached its final second place up to the first main wall (3), and it is limited at this, goes up (seeing Figure 13 d) because side tabs (20,21) is resisted against roof (6).

The customer can for example be held in cigarette case (1) between thumb and the middle finger, and thumb and middle finger contact the sidewall (7,8) of cigarette case respectively, first finger contact button (15) of this hand.The pushing button is opened cigarette case.First wall (3) is pressed to its primary importance backward can make button wall part (17) and connector (25) turn back to the position that it abuts against the second main wall (4) inboard.

Obviously, in scope of the present utility model, can also carry out other improvement.For example, it is contemplated that, the hinge lines of the first main wall not with the coincident of diapire, but parallel with this edge and at a distance of a segment distance, preferably be arranged in the zone of diapire or the adjacent domain of diapire.
