Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a cigarette packet, in particular of the rigid type.
- As is known, cigarette packets of the rigid type substantially have the shape of a parallelepiped and comprise an inner wrapper, normally made of silver paper and surrounding a group of cigarettes, and an outer wrapper, made of paperboard, consisting of a box-shaped body and a hinged lid. A collar, fixed to the box-shaped body and forming a connection between the box-shaped body and the lid, guarantees the stability of the lid when closed. The packet is completed by an overwrap, made of transparent thermoplastic material, able to guarantee a hermetic seal for the packet until the moment it is used.
- In that way, the tobacco in the cigarettes maintains its correct level of humidity and its aroma.
- It is also known that when the packet is opened the protective overwrap is torn and at least partly removed and, after opening the lid, part of the inner wrapper made of silver paper, called the "PULL", is similarly removed.
- This means that, from the moment when the packet is opened until all its contents have been used, the cigarettes in the packet are not protected from the outside environment and tend to rapidly oxidise and lose their correct levels of humidity and aroma. The need for packets which have a strong seal is particularly felt in the case of "light" cigarettes, which have a low nicotine content and a strong aroma.
- Therefore, the aim of this invention is to provide a cigarette packet which overcomes the disadvantage described above.
- Accordingly, this invention provides a cigarette packet as described in one or more of the appended claims.
- The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings which illustrate a preferred, non-limiting embodiment of it and in which:
-
Figures 1, 2, 3 are perspective views of the cigarette packet according to this invention in three different configurations: closed, open with the inner wrapper extracted to its completely open position, and with the inner wrapper partly closed and partly positioned inside the outer wrapper; -
Figures 4, 5, 5a are side and cross-section views of the packet ofFigure 1 ; -
Figures 6, 6a, 6b are perspective views separately showing the different component parts of the pack ofFigure 1 ; -
Figures 7 and 8 are perspective views of a second embodiment of the cigarette packet according to this invention, respectively in the closed and open configurations; and -
Figures 9 and 10 are perspective views separately showing two of the component parts of the pack illustrated inFigures 7 and 8 . - With reference to
Figures 1 to 6 and 7 and 8 , thenumeral 1 denotes in its entirety a cigarette packet substantially having the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped with a longitudinal axis A and comprising anouter wrapper 2 made of paperboard and aninner wrapper 3 made of paperboard, the latter being positioned in direct contact with agroup 4 ofcigarettes 5 which are positioned parallel with the axis A. - The
outer wrapper 2 comprises a box-shaped body 6 formed by a lower orbottom wall 7 and by four lateral walls which are parallel with the axis A, consisting of alarger front wall 8, a largerrear wall 9 and two smaller walls orsides 10. - In particular, in the embodiment illustrated in
Figures 1 to 6 , a hood-style lid 11, having an upper ortop end wall 12, is connected to an upper end of therear wall 9 by means of ahinge 13 transversal to the axis A, in such a way that the lid can move between a position in which the opening end or mouth, labelled 14, of the box-shaped body 6 is closed, and a position in which themouth 14 is open. - In the
front wall 8 of theouter wrapper 2 there is a substantiallyrectangular opening 15, whose function is described in detail below. - At the end of the box-
shaped body 6 where themouth 14 is located, theinner wrapper 3 has an opening 24 designed to allow thecigarettes 5 to be gripped and extracted. - Interposed between the
outer wrapper 2 and theinner wrapper 3 there is a sliding element 18 (Figure 6a ), comprising aband 19 of material with a low friction coefficient, closed in a loop around an axis B which is transversal to the axis A and perpendicular to thesides 10 of the box-shaped body 6. - The
numeral 20 denotes an intermediate position, between thebottom wall 7 and thetop end 12, for fixing theband 19 to the inner face of the rear wall 9 (Figures 5a and6 ). Said fixing can be performed by means of a sealing operation or using an adhesive substance. - The
annular band 19 comprises anopening 23, which is positioned, with reference toFigure 1 (in which theopening 23 in theband 19 is illustrated with a dashed line), that is to say, when thewrapper 3 is completely housed in the box-shaped body 6, between the opening 15 in thefront wall 8 and the end of the box-shaped body 6 where themouth 14 is located. - In practice after opening the
lid 11, the user engages with theannular band 19 through the opening 15 in thefront wall 8, applying to the band a pushing action according to the axis A and directed, according to the arrow F1, towards themouth 14 of the box-shaped body 6, in such a way as to cause theinner wrapper 3 to partly come out of the box-shaped body 6 until it reaches a predetermined final position. - The pushing action applied to the
band 19 from the side of thefront wall 8, together with the stopping action caused by the fixing, at theposition 20, of theband 19 to therear wall 9, produces a rotary movement of theband 19 about the axis B (anti-clockwise for those observingFigure 2 ), making the band slide relative to the walls of theinner wrapper 3, the result being that at the final position theopening 23 in theband 19 is superposed on the opening 24 in the foilinner wrapper 3. - In such conditions the two
openings cigarettes 5 from the group 4 (Figure 2 ). The extraction ofindividual cigarettes 5 is facilitated by the fact that their ends project outside the box-shaped body 6. - Once a cigarette has been extracted by the user, by applying to the annular band 19 a pushing action directed according to the axis A and according to the arrow F2, towards the
bottom wall 7 of the box-shaped body 6, theband 19 is made to rotate about the axis B (clockwise for those observingFigure 3 ) in such a way that theband 19 slides over theinner wrapper 3 in the opposite direction to the sliding which allowed it to reach the position in which theopenings band 19 to gradually close the opening 24 in theinner wrapper 3 again (seeFigure 3 , which shows an intermediate position in which theband 19 is about to completely close the opening 24). - Consequently, starting from the above-mentioned final position, the movement of the
band 19 clockwise (Figure 3 ) and according to the arrow F2 allows theinner wrapper 3 to be inserted in the box-shaped body 6 again, thus allowing thelid 11 to be closed. - At the end of that step, as a result of
band 19 sliding relative to theinner wrapper 3, theopening 23 is again at its starting position (Figure 1 ) interposed between theopening 8 and themouth 14 of the box-shaped body 6, thus guaranteeing optimum protection of thecigarettes 5 for as long as thepacket 1 contains any. - The embodiment illustrated in
Figures 7 to 10 differs from that previously illustrated due to the fact that in this case theannular band 19 is not constrained to the box-shaped body 6 of theouter wrapper 2 and theouter wrapper 2 of thepacket 1 does not have a hood-style lid 11 like the embodiment illustrated inFigures 1 to 6 . - At its
top end 12, theouter wrapper 2 comprises alid 17, whose edges are formed by aperforation line 25 delimiting aremovable panel 26. - Once the
panel 26 has been removed, at thetop end 12 thepacket 1 comprises an opening ormouth 14 of the box-shaped body 6, which in the embodiment illustrated inFigures 7 to 10 coincides with the outer wrapper 2 (Figure 8 ). - The opposite longitudinal ends of the
opening 14 are adjacent to twowalls 27 which are parallel with thebottom wall 7, said two walls forming stop means designed to retain theinner wrapper 3 inside theouter wrapper 2. - Again in this embodiment the
inner wrapper 3 is made of paperboard and theband 19 comprises anopening 23 substantially equal to the opening 24 in theinner wrapper 3 and the opening ormouth 14 of theouter wrapper 2. - It should be noticed that, like the
outer wrapper 2, theinner wrapper 3 also has itsopening 24 closed at the two longitudinal ends bywalls 27a (Figure 10 ) which, when thepacket 1 is complete, are positioned below thewalls 27 of theouter wrapper 2 with theannular band 19 interposed between them. - In practice, once the
panel 26 has been removed, through theopening 15 in thefront wall 8, the user uses a finger to engage with theannular band 19 and to apply to the band an axial pushing action, according to the arrow F1 and directed towards themouth 14 of theouter wrapper 2. - Since the
inner wrapper 3 is locked inside theouter wrapper 2 due to the presence of thewalls 27, on which thewalls 27a of theinner wrapper 3 press, said pushing action causes only sliding of theannular band 19 relative to theinner wrapper 3 and relative to theouter wrapper 2. - As illustrated in
Figures 7 and 8 , to facilitate the sliding of theband 19, theouter wrapper 2 also comprises anopening 15 in itsrear wall 9. - As a result of said relative sliding, the opening 23 in the
band 19 is gradually superposed on the opening 24 in theinner wrapper 3 and coincides with theopening 14 in the wrapper 2 (seeFigure 8 which shows aband 19 intermediate position between that in which theopenings cigarettes 5. - Once a cigarette has been extracted, the user applies to the annular band 19 a pushing action according to the arrow F2 in
Figure 8 , directed towards thebottom wall 7 of theouter wrapper 2, in such a way that theopening 23 is returned to its starting position, as shown inFigure 8 , below thelid 17. - This second embodiment also guarantees optimum protection of the cigarettes for as long as the
packet 1 contains any.
