第1圖圖示由菸草工業製品(例如，吸煙物件)組成的包纏捆束1。在此實施例中，菸草工業製品為香煙。 Figure 1 illustrates a wrap bundle 1 consisting of a tobacco industry article (e.g., a smoking article). In this embodiment, the tobacco industry article is a cigarette.

包纏捆束1包含已包纏一群組香煙(例如，20支香煙)的撓性阻隔材料21。不過，應瞭解，包纏捆束1可包含任意多支香煙，例如10或14支香煙。該等香煙為瘦長圓筒形物件且成排地排列成包纏捆束1的整體形狀實質為長方體或平行六面體。 The wrap bundle 1 comprises a flexible barrier material 21 that has been wrapped around a group of cigarettes (eg, 20 cigarettes). However, it should be understood that the wrap bundle 1 can contain any number of cigarettes, such as 10 or 14 cigarettes. The cigarettes are elongated cylindrical articles and are arranged in a row so that the overall shape of the wrapped bundle 1 is substantially a rectangular parallelepiped or a parallelepiped.

包纏捆束1包含前面2，背面3，對立側面4、5，以及對立端面6、7。圖示於附圖的包纏捆束1有方形邊緣，然而應瞭解，根據包纏捆束1內容物的形狀，該等邊緣可為圓角的或其他形狀。 The wrap bundle 1 comprises a front face 2, a back face 3, opposite side faces 4, 5, and opposite end faces 6, 7. The wrap bundle 1 illustrated in the drawings has a square edge, however it will be appreciated that the edges may be rounded or otherwise shaped depending on the shape of the contents of the wrap bundle 1.

如第1圖所示，包纏捆束1在阻隔材料21中設有起始割線(starting cut)8。阻隔材料21在包纏捆束1前面2上至少部份割穿成‘U’形。起始割線8包含在對立側面4、5方向跨越包纏捆束1延伸的第一割線9，以及由第一割線9末端向包纏捆束1之端面6延伸的第二及第三割線10、11。因此，起始割線8界定被第一、第二及第三割線9、10、11圍住之材料12的舌片。 As shown in Fig. 1, the wrap bundle 1 is provided with a starting cutting cut 8 in the barrier material 21. The barrier material 21 is at least partially cut into a 'U' shape on the front face 2 of the wrapping bundle 1. The starting secant line 8 includes a first secant line 9 extending across the wrap bundle 1 in opposite directions 4, 5, and a second and third secant line 10 extending from the end of the first secant line 9 toward the end face 6 of the wrap bundle 1. 11, 11. Thus, the starting secant line 8 defines the tongue of the material 12 that is surrounded by the first, second and third secant lines 9, 10, 11.

應瞭解，起始割線8可包含其他形狀。例如，起始割線8可為單一弧形割線，其形狀經製作成其末端朝向包纏捆束1的端面6。 It should be understood that the starting secant 8 can include other shapes. For example, the starting secant line 8 can be a single curved secant line shaped to have its end facing the end face 6 of the wrap bundle 1.

黏合標籤13黏合至包纏捆束1的外面使得它覆蓋及密封起始割線8。 The adhesive label 13 is bonded to the outside of the wrap bundle 1 so that it covers and seals the starting secant 8.

圖示於第1圖的黏合標籤13由包纏捆束1前面2延伸越過包纏捆束1的前端邊緣14以及到包纏捆束1的端面6上。黏合標籤13也可延伸越過包纏捆束1的後端邊緣15到包纏捆束1的背面3上，如第1圖所示。 The adhesive label 13 shown in Fig. 1 extends from the front side 2 of the wrapping bundle 1 over the front end edge 14 of the wrapping bundle 1 and to the end face 6 of the wrapping bundle 1. The adhesive label 13 can also extend over the rear end edge 15 of the wrap bundle 1 to the back side 3 of the wrap bundle 1, as shown in FIG.

也如第1圖所示，黏合標籤13包含拉舌片(pull tab)16。當使用者在遠離包纏捆束1前面2的方向拉扯黏合標籤13的拉舌片16時，黏合標籤13剝離包纏捆束1的前面2以及繼續拉由起始割線8形成的材料12之舌片。 As also shown in FIG. 1, the adhesive label 13 includes a pull tab 16. When the user pulls the tab 16 of the adhesive label 13 away from the front face 2 of the wrapping bundle 1, the adhesive label 13 peels off the front side 2 of the wrapping bundle 1 and continues to pull the material 12 formed by the starting secting line 8. Tongue.

在拉材料12的舌片時，裂縫蔓延通過阻隔材料21，由第二及第三割線10、11的末端開始以及沿著在第二及第三割線10、11之方向的直線33向包纏捆束1的端面6蔓延。在拉拉舌片16時，裂縫在阻隔材料21的前面2蔓延，越過包纏捆束1的前端邊緣14以及跨越包纏捆束1的端面6。 When the tongue of the material 12 is pulled, the crack propagates through the barrier material 21, starting from the ends of the second and third secants 10, 11 and along the line 33 in the direction of the second and third secants 10, 11. The end face 6 of the bundle 1 spreads. When the tab 16 is pulled, the crack propagates in the front face 2 of the barrier material 21, over the leading edge 14 of the wrapping bundle 1 and across the end face 6 of the wrapping bundle 1.

取決於黏合標籤13的配置及範圍，以及使用者拉扯拉舌片16有多遠，裂縫可沿著直線33蔓延到包纏捆束1端面6上的一點，或到包纏捆束1的後端邊緣15，或越過後端邊緣15以及到包纏捆束1的背面3上。 Depending on the configuration and extent of the adhesive label 13 and how far the user pulls the tab 16 , the crack can propagate along the line 33 to a point on the end face 6 of the wrapping bundle 1 or after wrapping the bundle 1 The end edge 15 passes over the rear end edge 15 and onto the back side 3 of the wrap bundle 1.

上述黏合標籤13的拉扯以及阻隔材料21沿著直線33的撕裂產生取出開口17，如第2圖所示。取出開口17由前面2延伸越過前端邊緣14以及進入包纏捆束1的端面6。在黏合標籤13處於掀起位置(lifted position)時，經由取出開口17可由包纏捆束1取出香煙18。 The pulling of the adhesive label 13 and the tearing of the barrier material 21 along the straight line 33 create a take-out opening 17, as shown in Fig. 2. The take-out opening 17 extends from the front face 2 over the front end edge 14 and into the end face 6 of the wrap bundle 1. When the adhesive label 13 is in the lifted position, the cigarette 18 can be taken out by the wrapping bundle 1 via the take-out opening 17.

在一替代具體實施例中，起始割線8包含一弱化線，而且不是如上述的貫穿割線。以此方式，拉扯拉舌片16會導致弱化線撕裂以及產生起始割線，經其，阻隔材料21會撕裂以及形成取出開口17。 In an alternate embodiment, the starting secant line 8 includes a line of weakness and is not a through secant as described above. In this way, pulling the tab 16 can result in weakening of the tear line and production. A starting secant line is passed through which the barrier material 21 tears and forms the take-out opening 17.

在另一替代具體實施例中，阻隔材料21未設有任何割線或弱化以形成如上述的起始割線。在此實施例中，黏合標籤13可永久性黏合至阻隔材料21的選定區域，使得在拉扯黏合標籤13時，阻隔材料21在某些位置經受剪力造成阻隔材料21撕裂成預定形狀。 In another alternative embodiment, the barrier material 21 is not provided with any secant or weakening to form a starting secant as described above. In this embodiment, the adhesive label 13 can be permanently bonded to selected areas of the barrier material 21 such that when the adhesive label 13 is pulled, the barrier material 21 is subjected to shear forces at certain locations causing the barrier material 21 to tear into a predetermined shape.

黏合標籤13至少部份用壓敏黏合劑可黏合至包纏捆束1。特別是如第1圖及第2圖所示，黏合標籤13的邊緣偏離起始割線8的割線9、10、11，因此在第一次打開包纏捆束1後，在阻隔材料21的邊緣偏離取出開口17。 The adhesive label 13 can be bonded to the wrap bundle 1 at least in part with a pressure sensitive adhesive. In particular, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the edge of the adhesive label 13 is offset from the secant lines 9, 10, 11 of the starting secant 8, so that after the first wrapping of the wrapping bundle 1, at the edge of the barrier material 21 Deviating from the take-out opening 17.

因此，標籤13包含包圍取出開口17的重疊區19。黏合標籤13的此一重疊區19可設有壓敏黏合劑，使得黏合標籤13可重新放在取出開口17上面以及壓敏黏合劑會再黏合至阻隔材料21以及使黏合標籤13在取出開口17上面保持定位。 Thus, the label 13 contains an overlap region 19 that surrounds the removal opening 17. The overlap region 19 of the adhesive label 13 can be provided with a pressure sensitive adhesive such that the adhesive label 13 can be placed over the removal opening 17 and the pressure sensitive adhesive can be reattached to the barrier material 21 and the adhesive label 13 can be removed from the opening 17 Keep positioning above.

黏合標籤13可全部地設有壓敏黏合劑，或可包含永久黏合劑的區域，或除了在重疊區19中的壓敏黏合劑以外沒有黏合劑的區域。 The adhesive label 13 may be provided entirely with a pressure sensitive adhesive, or a region which may comprise a permanent adhesive, or a region free of adhesive other than the pressure sensitive adhesive in the overlap region 19.

阻隔材料21中已經與包纏捆束1分離以形成取出開口17的撕開部份20仍然黏合至黏合標籤13，如第2圖所示。 The tearing portion 20 of the barrier material 21 which has been separated from the wrapping bundle 1 to form the take-out opening 17 is still adhered to the adhesive label 13, as shown in Fig. 2.

撕開部份20可用壓敏黏合劑或用設在撕開部份20與黏合標籤之間的永久黏合劑區域附著至黏合標籤13。如果撕開部份20用壓敏黏合劑附著至黏合標籤13，則壓敏黏合劑在撕開部份20的區域中可具有增加的塗層重量(coating weight)以防撕開部份20在使用時脫離黏合標籤13。 The tear-open portion 20 may be attached to the adhesive label 13 with a pressure sensitive adhesive or with a permanent adhesive region disposed between the tear portion 20 and the adhesive label. If the tear-open portion 20 is adhered to the adhesive label 13 with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, the pressure-sensitive adhesive may have an increased coating weight in the region of the tear-open portion 20 to prevent the tearing portion 20 from being It is detached from the adhesive label 13 when in use.

因此，黏合標籤13與阻隔材料21的撕開部份20形成可再用覆蓋折片(re-usable cover flap)22用於在第一次打開後關閉取出開口17。黏合標籤13之重疊區19上的壓敏黏合劑用來使覆蓋折片22與阻隔材料21重新附著。 Thus, the adhesive label 13 and the tear-open portion 20 of the barrier material 21 form a re-usable cover flap 22 for closing the removal opening 17 after the first opening. A pressure sensitive adhesive on the overlap region 19 of the adhesive label 13 is used to reattach the cover flap 22 to the barrier material 21.

在另一具體實施例中，黏合標籤13在重疊區19中設有一次性(one-use)黏合劑，使得覆蓋折片22可重新放在取出開口17上面但是黏合標籤13不會再黏合至阻隔材料21。 In another embodiment, the adhesive label 13 is provided with a one-use adhesive in the overlap region 19 such that the cover flap 22 can be placed over the removal opening 17 but the adhesive label 13 does not reattach to Barrier material 21.

黏合標籤13的一部份可永久黏合至阻隔材料21，使得覆蓋折片22保留在包纏捆束1上以及不能被完全卸下。在其他具體實施例中，利用在整個黏合標籤13上面的一次性黏合劑，或藉由提供貫穿黏合標籤13的撕下線(tear-off line)，在打開時可從包纏捆束1完全卸下覆蓋折片22。 A portion of the adhesive label 13 can be permanently bonded to the barrier material 21 such that the cover flap 22 remains on the wrap bundle 1 and cannot be completely removed. In other specific embodiments, The cover flap 22 can be completely removed from the wrap bundle 1 when opened, using a disposable adhesive over the entire adhesive label 13, or by providing a tear-off line through the adhesive label 13.

在第一次打開之前，包纏捆束1之前端邊緣14區域中的阻隔材料21未斷開，使得阻隔材料21的此區域可提供強而耐久的密封件。 Prior to the first opening, the barrier material 21 in the region of the front edge 14 of the wrapping bundle 1 is not broken, so that this region of the barrier material 21 provides a strong and durable seal.

結合覆蓋起始割線8的黏合標籤13，因此包纏捆束1的前面2、端面6及背面3在藉由繼續拉拉舌片16的第一次打開之前是可密封地關閉著。 In conjunction with the adhesive label 13 covering the starting secant 8, the front face 2, the end face 6 and the back face 3 of the wrap bundle 1 are hermetically closed by continuing to open the tab 16 for the first time.

起始割線8與前端邊緣14隔開，藉此界定由前端邊緣14延伸到包纏捆束1之端面6上以及到前面2上的邊緣區23。在此邊緣區23中，阻隔材料21未斷開。在前端邊緣14的區域中，邊緣區23延伸跨越包纏捆束1在對立側面4、5之間的寬度。邊緣區23在前端邊緣14的兩個鄰面(亦即，包纏捆束1的端面6與前面2)上可延伸至少5毫米。 The starting secant line 8 is spaced from the leading edge 14 thereby defining an edge region 23 extending from the leading edge 14 to the end face 6 of the wrapping bundle 1 and to the front face 2. In this edge region 23, the barrier material 21 is not broken. In the region of the front end edge 14, the edge region 23 extends across the width of the wrap bundle 1 between the opposing sides 4, 5. The edge region 23 can extend at least 5 mm on both adjacent faces of the front end edge 14 (i.e., the end face 6 and the front face 2 of the wrap bundle 1).

藉由在包纏捆束1之前(front)邊緣區23中維持未斷開阻隔材料21來提供的改良密封件會防止空氣在製造後進入包纏捆束1，且因此相較於在前邊緣區23有割線或齒孔的包纏捆束1，可維持香煙18的新鮮度更久。 The improved seal provided by maintaining the unbroken barrier material 21 in the front edge region 23 of the wrap bundle 1 prevents air from entering the wrap bundle 1 after manufacture, and thus is compared to the front edge The zone 23 has a wrapped bundle 1 of secant or perforated holes to maintain the freshness of the cigarette 18 for a longer period of time.

在另一實施例中，如果在包纏捆束1內提供減少的壓力，亦即，部份真空，則阻隔材料21與黏合標籤13會被包纏捆束1外的大氣壓力往香煙18向內推壓。在此情形下，阻隔材料21可使包纏捆束1的內容物形狀變形以及這可減少黏合標籤13在包纏捆束1之前邊緣區23上所提供的密封有效性。維持阻隔材料21在前邊緣區23的完整性防止阻隔材料21有任何變形而影響所提供的密封，這有助於維持壓差持續一段較長的時間。 In another embodiment, if a reduced pressure, that is, a partial vacuum, is provided in the wrapping bundle 1, the barrier material 21 and the adhesive label 13 are wrapped around the atmospheric pressure of the bundle 1 to the cigarette 18 Push inside. In this case, the barrier material 21 can deform the shape of the contents of the wrapping bundle 1 and this can reduce the sealing effectiveness provided by the adhesive label 13 on the edge region 23 before wrapping the bundle 1. Maintaining the integrity of the barrier material 21 in the leading edge region 23 prevents any deformation of the barrier material 21 from affecting the seal provided, which helps maintain the differential pressure for a longer period of time.

在這些實施例的每一者中，儘管有更強及更耐用的密封件，包纏捆束1仍設有便於打開包纏捆束1的構件，即黏合標籤13，其在第一次打開時造成阻隔材料21沿著直線33撕裂以產生取出開口17。 In each of these embodiments, the wrap bundle 1 is provided with a member for facilitating the opening of the wrap bundle 1, i.e., the adhesive label 13, which is opened for the first time, despite the stronger and more durable seal. The barrier material 21 is caused to tear along the line 33 to create the take-out opening 17.

上述該包纏捆束的密封前邊緣區是有利的，因為它提供長壽的密封件，這對於維持新鮮度很重要，或是在包纏捆束內要提供正壓或負壓時。在多數情形下，從包裝香煙到消費者第一次打開可能有數周、數月。在這段時間，香煙包裝會從包裝處移到儲存所，保存在銷售展示架(或類似者)，然後消費者在第一次打開前可能保留一段時間。 The sealed front edge region of the wrap bundle described above is advantageous because it provides a long lasting seal which is important to maintain freshness or to provide positive or negative pressure within the wrap bundle. In most cases, it may take weeks, months from packaging cigarettes to the first time a consumer opens. During this time, the cigarette pack will be moved from the package to the store and stored in the sales display (or similar) And then the consumer may remain for a while before opening for the first time.

因此，提供強而耐久的密封件以防空氣在黏合標籤13與阻隔材料21之間侵入是很重要的。 Therefore, it is important to provide a strong and durable seal against air intrusion between the adhesive label 13 and the barrier material 21.

第3圖圖示保存香煙18的內框24(參考第2圖)以及用阻隔材料21包纏以形成圖示於第1圖及第2圖的包纏捆束1。換言之，圖示之內框24可放在香煙18與阻隔材料21之間。 Fig. 3 is a view showing the inner frame 24 (refer to Fig. 2) in which the cigarettes 18 are stored and wrapped with the barrier material 21 to form the wrap bundles 1 shown in Figs. 1 and 2 . In other words, the illustrated inner frame 24 can be placed between the cigarette 18 and the barrier material 21.

內框24包含前壁25，後壁26，對立側壁27、28，底壁29，以及頂壁30，在阻隔材料21包覆內框24時，它們對應至包纏捆束1的前面2，背面3，對立側面4、5及端面6、7。內框24也包含形成於端壁30及前壁25中的窗孔(aperture)31，在第一次打開包纏捆束1後，它與上述取出開口17對齊，如第2圖所示。 The inner frame 24 includes a front wall 25, a rear wall 26, opposing side walls 27, 28, a bottom wall 29, and a top wall 30 that correspond to the front face 2 of the wrapping bundle 1 when the barrier material 21 covers the inner frame 24. Back side 3, opposite side 4, 5 and end faces 6, 7. The inner frame 24 also includes an aperture 31 formed in the end wall 30 and the front wall 25, which is aligned with the take-out opening 17 after opening the wrap bundle 1 for the first time, as shown in FIG.

在此實施例中，內框24的窗孔31部份延伸跨越內框24的頂壁30及前壁25，亦即，跨越包纏捆束1的前邊緣區23。因此，當取出開口17形成時，它與內框24的窗孔31對齊。 In this embodiment, the aperture 31 of the inner frame 24 extends partially across the top wall 30 and the front wall 25 of the inner frame 24, i.e., across the front edge region 23 of the wrap bundle 1. Therefore, when the take-out opening 17 is formed, it is aligned with the window 31 of the inner frame 24.

內框24提供額外的強度以及支撐香煙18。此外，如果提供內壓減少的包纏捆束1，例如部份真空，則內框24有助於保護香煙18免受害於大氣壓力作用於包纏捆束1外面的壓毀力(crushing force)。 Inner frame 24 provides additional strength and support for cigarette 18. Further, if a wrap bundle 1 having a reduced internal pressure, such as a partial vacuum, is provided, the inner frame 24 helps protect the cigarette 18 from the crushing force that acts on the outside of the wrap bundle 1 against atmospheric pressure. .

在一些實施例中，內框24之窗孔31的大小及位置經製作成在藉由拉扯黏合標籤13以在阻隔材料21中產生取出開口17後，窗孔31至少有些邊緣落在取出開口17內。 In some embodiments, the aperture 31 of the inner frame 24 is sized and positioned such that at least some of the apertures of the aperture 31 fall within the removal opening 17 after the adhesive label 13 is pulled to create the removal opening 17 in the barrier material 21. Inside.

第4圖從前壁25觀看繪出內框24的實施例。在此實施例中，內框24的窗孔31經配置成可支撐形成於阻隔材料21中的起始割線8，如圖示。特別是，窗孔31經形成在阻隔材料21包纏內框24時，可使內框24的支撐部32直接在起始割線8後面。 Figure 4 depicts an embodiment of the inner frame 24 as viewed from the front wall 25. In this embodiment, the aperture 31 of the inner frame 24 is configured to support a starting secant 8 formed in the barrier material 21, as shown. In particular, the window opening 31 is formed such that when the barrier material 21 wraps around the inner frame 24, the support portion 32 of the inner frame 24 can be directly behind the starting secant 8.

以此方式，當阻隔材料21變形時，例如藉由施加減少的壓力至包纏捆束1的內部，被大氣壓力向內框24推壓的起始割線8由內框24的支撐部32支撐而且不會彎曲或變形，這意謂黏合標籤13可有效地密封起始割線8以及防止空氣在黏合標籤13與阻隔材料21之間侵入。由內框24之支撐部32提供的平坦支撐面防止阻隔材料21在起始割線8的區域中變形，從而改善在第一次打開在說明第1圖至第3圖時提及的包纏捆束1 之前提供的密封件。 In this manner, when the barrier material 21 is deformed, for example, by applying a reduced pressure to the inside of the wrap bundle 1, the initial secant line 8 urged by the atmospheric pressure toward the inner frame 24 is supported by the support portion 32 of the inner frame 24. Moreover, it does not bend or deform, which means that the adhesive label 13 can effectively seal the starting secant 8 and prevent air from intruding between the adhesive label 13 and the barrier material 21. The flat support surface provided by the support portion 32 of the inner frame 24 prevents the barrier material 21 from deforming in the region of the starting secant 8, thereby improving the wraparound bundle mentioned in the first illustration to the first to third figures. Bunch 1 The seals previously provided.

在圖示於第5圖的另一實施例中，內框24的窗孔31經配置成窗孔31的邊緣落在取出開口17在其所有或大部份周圍的邊界內。因此，如第5圖所示，內框24的支撐部32直接在阻隔材料的突出撕裂線後面，其與起始割線8的末端對齊。這對在起始割線8的區域中的阻隔材料21在第一次打開包纏捆束1之前提供增加的支撐。 In another embodiment, illustrated in Fig. 5, the aperture 31 of the inner frame 24 is configured such that the edge of the aperture 31 falls within the boundary of the extraction opening 17 around all or a substantial portion thereof. Thus, as shown in Fig. 5, the support portion 32 of the inner frame 24 is directly behind the protruding tear line of the barrier material, which is aligned with the end of the starting secant line 8. This pair of barrier materials 21 in the region of the starting secant 8 provides increased support prior to opening the wrap bundle 1 for the first time.

在參考第6圖至第11圖來描述的實施例中，阻隔材料21包含用來導引撕裂線33通過阻隔材料21的加強區。因此，會導引裂縫沿著在加強區之間的最小阻力路徑(path-of-least-resistance)。 In the embodiment described with reference to Figures 6 through 11, the barrier material 21 comprises a reinforced region for guiding the tear line 33 through the barrier material 21. Therefore, the crack is guided along the path-of-least-resistance between the reinforcement zones.

形成該等加強區可藉由使一或更多強化標籤40附著至阻隔材料21，例如於阻隔材料相對於黏合標籤13的反面上。 Forming the stiffening zones may be by attaching one or more reinforcing labels 40 to the barrier material 21, such as on the opposite side of the barrier material relative to the adhesive label 13.

在替代具體實施例中，強化阻隔材料21的區域可藉由印製材料於阻隔材料21的表面上。例如，可印刷漆、清漆或黏合劑於阻隔材料21的表面上以增加該區域的強度。 In an alternative embodiment, the area of the reinforced barrier material 21 may be printed on the surface of the barrier material 21 by a printed material. For example, a lacquer, varnish or adhesive can be printed on the surface of the barrier material 21 to increase the strength of the area.

第6圖圖示強化標籤40的第一實施例。如圖示，強化標籤40以隔開的關係施加至阻隔材料21的內面，藉此在強化標籤40之間形成空隔41。標籤40之間的空隔41與起始割線8的末端對齊，使得在阻隔材料21在第一次打開時開始撕裂的時候，導引裂縫從起始割線8的末端沿著最弱路徑通過阻隔材料21，即沿著在強化標籤40之間的空隔41。 Figure 6 illustrates a first embodiment of a reinforced tag 40. As shown, the reinforcing labels 40 are applied to the inner faces of the barrier material 21 in spaced relationship, thereby forming a void 41 between the reinforcing labels 40. The space 41 between the labels 40 is aligned with the end of the starting secant 8, such that when the barrier material 21 begins to tear at the first opening, the guiding crack passes from the end of the starting secant 8 along the weakest path. The barrier material 21, i.e., along the space 41 between the reinforcing labels 40.

在此實施例中，阻隔材料21的前邊緣區23在第一次打開之前保持不變，以及沒有任何阻隔材料21變弱，且因此包纏捆束1前邊緣區23的密封完整性不受損。 In this embodiment, the front edge region 23 of the barrier material 21 remains unchanged until the first opening, and without any barrier material 21 becoming weak, and thus the sealing integrity of the front edge region 23 of the wrapping bundle 1 is not damage.

此外，加強區40確保撕裂阻隔材料21可產生有適當形狀及大小的開口讓使用者取出包材1內的香煙。 In addition, the reinforcement zone 40 ensures that the tear barrier material 21 can produce an opening of suitable shape and size for the user to remove the cigarette within the package material 1.

作為施加強化標籤40至阻隔材料21的替代，如上述，在對應至第6圖所示之強化標籤40的位置可印刷阻隔材料21。該印刷物質會強化在該等位置的阻隔材料21，產生與上述強化標籤40一樣的效果。該印刷物質可為漆(lacquer)、清漆(varnish)、黏合劑或能夠印刷和增加阻隔材料21在印刷位置之強度的其他物質。 As an alternative to applying the reinforcing label 40 to the barrier material 21, as described above, the barrier material 21 can be printed at a position corresponding to the reinforcing label 40 shown in FIG. The printing material strengthens the barrier material 21 at the same position, producing the same effect as the reinforcing label 40 described above. The printed material can be a lacquer, a varnish, a binder, or other material capable of printing and increasing the strength of the barrier material 21 at the printing location.

在替代具體實施例中，單一強化標籤40沿著所欲撕裂線設有割線或齒孔(perforations)。因此，以與在說明第6圖時提及之具體實施例相同的方式，當裂縫由起始割線8開始蔓延時，它們會沿著最弱化線通過阻隔材料21及強化標籤40，其係沿著強化標籤40的割線/齒孔。 In an alternative embodiment, the single reinforcing label 40 is positioned along the desired tear line. There are secants or perforations. Therefore, in the same manner as the specific embodiment mentioned in the description of Fig. 6, when the cracks start to propagate from the starting secant 8, they will pass through the barrier material 21 and the reinforcing label 40 along the weakest line, The secant/tooth hole of the reinforced label 40 is reinforced.

應瞭解，在說明第6圖時提及的具體實施例中，起始割線8可為在阻隔材料21中的貫穿割線，或可為藉由沿著起始割線8刻劃或部份切割阻隔材料形成的弱化線。替換地，阻隔材料21可不設有任何割線或弱化以形成起始割線8。在此實施例中，黏合標籤13可永久性黏合至阻隔材料21的選定區域，使得在拉扯黏合標籤13時，阻隔材料21在某些位置經受剪力造成阻隔材料21撕裂成預定形狀，從而形成起始割線8。 It should be understood that in the particular embodiment mentioned in the description of FIG. 6, the starting secant line 8 may be a secant line in the barrier material 21, or may be scored or partially cut along the starting secant line 8. A weakening line formed by the material. Alternatively, the barrier material 21 may be provided without any secant or weakening to form the starting secant 8. In this embodiment, the adhesive label 13 can be permanently bonded to selected areas of the barrier material 21 such that when the adhesive label 13 is pulled, the barrier material 21 is subjected to shear forces at certain locations causing the barrier material 21 to tear into a predetermined shape, thereby A starting secant 8 is formed.

第7圖根據在說明第6圖時提及的具體實施例圖示施加於黏合標籤13與阻隔材料21之間的黏合劑配置實施例。第7圖圖示黏合標籤13的底面。 Figure 7 illustrates an embodiment of an adhesive configuration applied between the adhesive label 13 and the barrier material 21 in accordance with the specific embodiment mentioned in the description of Figure 6. Figure 7 illustrates the bottom surface of the adhesive label 13.

如第7圖所示，拉舌片16不設有任何黏合劑，使得使用者可輕易掀起及抓住拉舌片16以便打開包纏捆束1。 As shown in Fig. 7, the tab 16 is not provided with any adhesive so that the user can easily pick up and grasp the tab 16 to open the wrap bundle 1.

第一區37在黏合標籤13與阻隔材料21之間設有永久黏合劑，該區大約對應至阻隔材料21中從包纏捆束1撕開以形成取出開口(17，參考第2圖)的撕開區段(20，參考第2圖)。該永久黏合劑意指撕開區段20仍然附著至黏合標籤13以形成覆蓋折片(22，參考第2圖)。 The first zone 37 is provided with a permanent adhesive between the adhesive label 13 and the barrier material 21, the zone corresponding approximately to the tearing of the barrier bundle 1 from the wrapping bundle 1 to form a take-out opening (17, see Figure 2) The section is torn (20, see Figure 2). The permanent adhesive means that the tear-open section 20 is still attached to the adhesive label 13 to form a cover flap (22, see Figure 2).

視需要，第二區38在黏合標籤13與阻隔材料21之間設有一次性黏合劑，該區大約對應至包圍起始割線8的區域。有一次性黏合劑的第二區38與起始割線8重疊以及在第一次打開包纏捆束1之前提供在起始割線8上面的襯墊或密封件，以增加密封件的強度。使用者在第一次打開包纏捆束16時容易弄破有一次性黏合劑的第二區38，以及在黏合標籤13重新放在取出開口17上面時不會重新黏合。 If desired, the second zone 38 is provided with a disposable adhesive between the adhesive label 13 and the barrier material 21, the zone corresponding approximately to the area surrounding the initial secant 8. The second zone 38 with the disposable adhesive overlaps the initial secant 8 and provides a liner or seal over the initial secant 8 prior to opening the wrap bundle 1 for the first time to increase the strength of the seal. The user easily breaks the second zone 38 with the disposable adhesive when the wrap bundle 16 is first opened, and does not re-bond when the adhesive label 13 is placed over the removal opening 17.

在黏合標籤13與阻隔材料21之間的其餘區域39設有壓敏黏合劑。以此方式，黏合標籤13重新放在取出開口17上面以及重新黏合至在取出開口17邊緣周圍的阻隔材料21，如先前所述。應瞭解，阻隔材料之撕開區段20的部份可覆蓋該其餘區域的部份。 A pressure sensitive adhesive is provided in the remaining region 39 between the adhesive label 13 and the barrier material 21. In this manner, the adhesive label 13 is placed over the removal opening 17 and reattached to the barrier material 21 around the edge of the removal opening 17, as previously described. It will be appreciated that portions of the tear-off section 20 of the barrier material may cover portions of the remaining area.

作為永久黏合劑的替代，第一區37可改成設有具有增加塗層重量的壓敏黏合劑以便在該區中提供較強的黏合標籤13與阻隔材料之間的黏結。 As an alternative to the permanent binder, the first zone 37 can be modified to provide a pressure sensitive adhesive having an increased coating weight to provide a stronger bond between the label 13 and the barrier material in the zone. Bonding.

第8a圖至第9b圖圖示阻隔材料21的實施例，其中黏合標籤13適合提供與在說明第6圖時提及之強化標籤40類似的相對弱化線。 Figures 8a through 9b illustrate an embodiment of a barrier material 21 in which the adhesive label 13 is adapted to provide a relatively weakened line similar to the reinforcing label 40 mentioned in the description of Figure 6.

在這些具體實施例中，黏合標籤13可包含至少有兩層材料的疊層材料(laminate material)。 In these embodiments, the adhesive label 13 can comprise a laminate material having at least two layers of material.

如第8a圖所示，黏合標籤13有藉由至少切割黏合標籤之最內層而形成的側區42。這些側區42永久性黏合至阻隔材料21，藉此將側區42的最內層配置成在黏合標籤13第一次被拉遠離阻隔材料21時可分層(delaminate)。以此方式，在第一次打開後，各側區42的一部份仍然附著至阻隔材料21，如第8b圖所示。 As shown in Fig. 8a, the adhesive label 13 has side regions 42 formed by cutting at least the innermost layer of the adhesive label. These side regions 42 are permanently bonded to the barrier material 21, whereby the innermost layer of the side regions 42 are configured to be delaminated when the adhesive label 13 is first pulled away from the barrier material 21. In this manner, after the first opening, a portion of each side region 42 remains attached to the barrier material 21, as shown in Figure 8b.

為求清楚起見，第8b圖不圖示黏合標籤13。 For the sake of clarity, the adhesive label 13 is not shown in Figure 8b.

在黏合標籤13的側區42中，提供壓敏黏合劑於黏合標籤13的層之間。以此方式，在第一次打開後，黏合標籤13可重新放在取出開口17上面且會重新附著至黏合標籤13的分層部份與起始割線8周圍。 In the side regions 42 of the adhesive label 13, a pressure sensitive adhesive is provided between the layers of the adhesive label 13. In this manner, after the first opening, the adhesive label 13 can be placed over the take-out opening 17 and reattached to the layered portion of the adhesive label 13 and around the starting secant 8.

黏合標籤13的分層側區42各自提供與所欲撕裂線對齊的邊緣，亦即，與起始割線8的末端對齊。 The layered side regions 42 of the adhesive label 13 each provide an edge that is aligned with the desired line of tear, i.e., aligned with the end of the starting secant line 8.

因此，在黏合標籤13第一次打開時，藉由繼續拉拉舌片16，裂縫會從起始割線8開始蔓延以及貼著黏合標籤13側區42的分層部份的邊緣撕開。黏合標籤13側區42的分層部份各自提供在繼續拉黏合標籤13時阻隔材料21貼著它剪斷的邊緣43。 Therefore, when the adhesive label 13 is first opened, by continuing to pull the tab 16, the crack will spread from the starting secant line 8 and tear away from the edge of the layered portion of the side region 42 of the adhesive label 13. The layered portions of the side regions 42 of the adhesive label 13 each provide an edge 43 against which the barrier material 21 is sheared as the adhesive label 13 continues to be pulled.

在一替代具體實施例中，形成側區42可藉由割穿黏合標籤13的整個厚度，使得該等側區有效地強化施加至阻隔材料21外表面的標籤。在此情形下，側區42可用永久黏合劑附著至阻隔材料21。在此實施例中，黏合標籤13可由單層或疊層或兩個或更多層形成。 In an alternate embodiment, the side regions 42 can be formed by cutting through the entire thickness of the adhesive label 13 such that the side regions effectively strengthen the label applied to the outer surface of the barrier material 21. In this case, the side regions 42 may be attached to the barrier material 21 with a permanent adhesive. In this embodiment, the adhesive label 13 may be formed of a single layer or a laminate or two or more layers.

在說明第8a圖及第8b圖時提及的實施例中，起始割線8可為阻隔材料21的貫穿割線，或可為藉由沿著起始割線8刻劃或部份切割阻隔材料形成的弱化線。替換地，阻隔材料21可不設有任何割線或弱化以形成起始割線8。在此實施例中，黏合標籤13可永久性黏合至阻隔材料21的選定區域，使得在拉扯黏合標籤13時，阻隔材料21在某些位置經受剪力造成阻隔材料21撕裂成預定形狀，從而形成起始割線8。 In the embodiment mentioned in the description of Figures 8a and 8b, the starting secant line 8 may be a secant line of the barrier material 21, or may be formed by scoring or partially cutting the barrier material along the starting secant line 8. Weakening line. Alternatively, the barrier material 21 may be provided without any secant or weakening to form the starting secant 8. In this embodiment, the adhesive label 13 can be permanently bonded to selected areas of the barrier material 21 such that when the adhesive label 13 is pulled, the barrier material 21 is subjected to shear forces at certain locations causing the barrier material 21 to tear into a predetermined shape, thereby A starting secant 8 is formed.

第9a圖及第9b圖圖示另一實施例，其中阻隔材料21另外設有重疊區35，其提供壓敏黏合劑的附加區域，用於在第一次打開後使黏合標籤13重新附著至阻隔材料21以覆蓋取出開口17。 Figures 9a and 9b illustrate another embodiment in which the barrier material 21 is additionally provided with an overlap region 35 that provides an additional area of pressure sensitive adhesive for reattaching the adhesive label 13 to after the first opening The barrier material 21 covers the take-out opening 17.

在此實施例中，阻隔材料21為包含至少兩層的疊層。此外，在阻隔材料21的至少一區域35中，在這兩層之間提供壓敏黏合劑，如後文所述。 In this embodiment, the barrier material 21 is a laminate comprising at least two layers. Further, in at least one region 35 of the barrier material 21, a pressure sensitive adhesive is provided between the two layers, as will be described later.

在此實施例中，起始割線8的形成係藉由至少切割阻隔材料21的最外層，而不是最內層。黏合標籤13的分層側區42經配置成在拉扯拉舌片16時可從起始割線8的末端開始導引撕裂線。 In this embodiment, the initial secant line 8 is formed by cutting at least the outermost layer of the barrier material 21 instead of the innermost layer. The layered side regions 42 of the adhesive label 13 are configured to guide the tear line from the end of the starting secant line 8 as the tab 16 is pulled.

在此實施例中，割線36也設在阻隔材料21的最內層中以及偏離在最外層中的起始割線8以界定在起始割線8與割線36之間的重疊區35。如圖示，此重疊區35不延伸遠於起始割線8的範圍。 In this embodiment, the secant line 36 is also disposed in the innermost layer of the barrier material 21 and offset from the initial secant line 8 in the outermost layer to define an overlap region 35 between the starting secant line 8 and the secant line 36. As shown, this overlap region 35 does not extend beyond the range of the starting secant 8.

在此重疊區35中，可在阻隔材料21最內層、最外層之間提供壓敏黏合劑。 In this overlap region 35, a pressure sensitive adhesive can be provided between the innermost layer and the outermost layer of the barrier material 21.

如第9b圖所示，當拉扯黏合標籤13上的拉舌片16以及沿著由強化側區42界定的直線撕裂阻隔材料21以形成取出開口17時，阻隔材料會沿著割線8、36分離使得阻隔材料21在重疊區35分層。該最外層黏合至黏合標籤13以及形成覆蓋折片(22，參考第2圖)的一部份，同時該最內層仍在定位。 As shown in Figure 9b, when the tab 16 on the adhesive label 13 is pulled and along the linear tear barrier material 21 defined by the reinforcing side regions 42 to form the removal opening 17, the barrier material will follow the secant lines 8, 36. The separation causes the barrier material 21 to delaminate in the overlap region 35. The outermost layer is bonded to the adhesive label 13 and forms part of the cover flap (22, see Fig. 2) while the innermost layer is still positioned.

因此，在第一次打開後，覆蓋折片22可重新放在取出開口17上面以重新關閉取出開口17。在此實施例中，重疊區35中的壓敏黏合劑與黏合標籤13上的壓敏黏合劑兩者可用來重新關閉取出開口17。 Thus, after the first opening, the cover flap 22 can be placed over the removal opening 17 to reclose the removal opening 17. In this embodiment, both the pressure sensitive adhesive in the overlap region 35 and the pressure sensitive adhesive on the adhesive label 13 can be used to reclose the removal opening 17.

在另一實施例中，側區42的形成可藉由割穿在此區域的整個黏合標籤13，或提供在打開時黏合標籤13沿著它撕裂的弱化線。因此，側區42不分層，反而在第一次打開時與黏合標籤13完全分離。因此，在黏合標籤13打開時，該等側區仍然完整地附著至阻隔材料21以及提供導引裂縫沿著它們的邊緣。 In another embodiment, the side regions 42 may be formed by cutting through the entire adhesive label 13 in this region, or by providing a line of weakness along which the adhesive label 13 tears when opened. Therefore, the side regions 42 are not layered, but are completely separated from the adhesive label 13 on the first opening. Thus, when the adhesive label 13 is opened, the side regions are still completely attached to the barrier material 21 and provide guiding cracks along their edges.

第10圖根據在說明第8a圖至第9b圖時提及的實施例圖示在黏合標籤13與阻隔材料21之間的黏合劑區實施例。如圖示，永久黏合劑的區域43設在黏合標籤13的側區42與阻隔材料21之間，同時除拉舌片16以外，黏合標籤13的其餘部份設有壓敏黏合劑。 Fig. 10 illustrates an embodiment of an adhesive region between the adhesive label 13 and the barrier material 21 in accordance with the embodiment mentioned in the description of Figs. 8a to 9b. As shown, the region 43 of permanent adhesive is disposed between the side regions 42 of the adhesive label 13 and the barrier material 21, with the exception of the pull tab. In addition to the sheet 16, the remaining portion of the adhesive label 13 is provided with a pressure sensitive adhesive.

可選擇地提供永久黏合劑的區域37以確保阻隔材料21中形成取出開口(17，參考第2圖)的分離部份仍然附著至黏合標籤13以形成覆蓋折片(22，參考第2圖)。 Optionally, a region 37 of permanent adhesive is provided to ensure that the discrete portions of the barrier material 21 forming the removal opening (17, see Figure 2) remain attached to the adhesive label 13 to form a cover flap (22, see Figure 2) .

永久黏合劑的區域37也可增加沿著加強區40或側區42邊緣施加至阻隔材料21的剪力。亦即，由於永久黏合劑區域37，可用覆蓋折片22更有力地拉扯阻隔材料21，從而增加阻隔材料21與加強區40或側區42之間的撕裂力。 The region 37 of permanent adhesive may also increase the shear applied to the barrier material 21 along the edge of the stiffening zone 40 or side region 42. That is, due to the permanent adhesive region 37, the barrier material 22 can be pulled more strongly with the cover flap 22, thereby increasing the tearing force between the barrier material 21 and the reinforcing region 40 or the side regions 42.

替換地，相較於黏合標籤13的其餘部份，區域37可設有具有增加塗層重量的壓敏黏合劑以在此區域37提供黏合標籤13與阻隔材料21的強力黏結。 Alternatively, the region 37 may be provided with a pressure sensitive adhesive having an increased coating weight to provide a strong bond of the adhesive label 13 to the barrier material 21 in this region 37 as compared to the remainder of the adhesive label 13.

在圖示於第11圖的替代實施例中，阻隔材料21可包含併入強化側區42及/或弱化線41的背襯標籤(backing label)54，如在說明第6圖至第10圖時所述。在此實施例中，背襯標籤54具有在包纏捆束打開時界定一開口的割線。 In an alternate embodiment illustrated in FIG. 11, the barrier material 21 can comprise a backing label 54 incorporating the reinforcing side regions 42 and/or the lines of weakness 41, as illustrated in Figures 6 through 10. Said at the time. In this embodiment, the backing label 54 has a secant line that defines an opening when the wrapping bundle is opened.

背襯標籤54可黏合至阻隔材料21的內表面。除了黏合標籤13以外，在阻隔材料21的外表面上可提供背襯標籤54。第11圖圖示設在阻隔材料21反面上的黏合標籤13。 The backing label 54 can be bonded to the inner surface of the barrier material 21. In addition to the adhesive label 13, a backing label 54 can be provided on the outer surface of the barrier material 21. Figure 11 illustrates the adhesive label 13 provided on the reverse side of the barrier material 21.

背襯標籤54可延伸越過起始割線8。在起始割線8的區域中，背襯標籤54可具有無黏合劑區55，藉此在拉扯拉舌片16時可掀起由起始割線8界定的區域以打開包纏捆束(1，參考第2圖)。 The backing label 54 can extend across the starting secant line 8. In the region of the starting secant 8, the backing label 54 can have a binder free zone 55 whereby the area defined by the starting secting line 8 can be picked up when the tab 16 is pulled to open the wrap bundle (1, reference Figure 2).

背襯標籤54增加由阻隔材料21形成之密封圍封物的強度及完整性。 The backing label 54 increases the strength and integrity of the sealed enclosure formed by the barrier material 21.

在所有的上述具體實施例中，黏合標籤13的加強區40及/或強化側區42提供撕裂阻隔材料21的方便且容易使用的方法以形成存取香煙18的取出開口17。 In all of the above-described embodiments, the reinforced region 40 and/or the reinforced side region 42 of the adhesive label 13 provides a convenient and easy to use method of tearing the barrier material 21 to form the removal opening 17 for accessing the cigarette 18.

阻隔材料21的未斷開部份較佳地包括一聚合物，例如聚丙烯。 The unbroken portion of the barrier material 21 preferably comprises a polymer, such as polypropylene.

在此情形下，可定向(orientated)聚合物材料的纖維以及配置阻隔材料21使得該等纖維以所欲撕裂線的方向定向。因此，在拉扯黏合標籤13以形成取出開口17時，該聚合物材料會更容易及更整齊地撕裂。否則，該聚合物在撕裂時可能伸展及變形，而留下有不平整邊緣的取出開口17，以及黏合標籤13可能不容易密封於該等邊緣上面。 In this case, the fibers of the polymeric material can be oriented and the barrier material 21 disposed such that the fibers are oriented in the direction of the desired tear line. Therefore, in the pull bond When the label 13 is formed to form the take-out opening 17, the polymeric material will tear more easily and more neatly. Otherwise, the polymer may stretch and deform upon tearing, leaving the removal opening 17 with uneven edges, and the adhesive label 13 may not be easily sealed over the edges.

可用機械設備切割或弱化阻隔材料，或更特別的是阻隔材料層(或數層)，例如有固定刀深的旋切機(rotary cutter)。替換地，可使用有預選功率及/或波長的雷射切割阻隔材料21，使得雷射只割穿阻隔材料層的所欲部份。 The barrier material can be cut or weakened by mechanical means, or more particularly a layer of barrier material (or layers), such as a rotary cutter with a fixed depth of knife. Alternatively, a laser cutting barrier material 21 having a preselected power and/or wavelength may be used such that the laser only cuts through the desired portion of the barrier material layer.

阻隔材料21可包含聚合物(例如，聚丙烯)，金屬箔，金屬膜(例如，金屬聚合物)，或適用於包裝的任何其他撓性材料。 The barrier material 21 can comprise a polymer (eg, polypropylene), a metal foil, a metal film (eg, a metal polymer), or any other flexible material suitable for packaging.

在一較佳實施例中，阻隔材料21包含三層式疊層，它有定向聚丙烯的外層與金屬箔的中間層，例如鋁箔。 In a preferred embodiment, the barrier material 21 comprises a three layer laminate having an intermediate layer of oriented polypropylene and an intermediate layer of metal foil, such as aluminum foil.

如後文所述，為了形成包纏捆束1，阻隔材料21包纏一群組香煙18以及可密封地關閉。首先，香煙18可放在能支撐及保護香煙18的內框24內，然後阻隔材料21可包纏內框24及香煙18群組。 As will be described later, in order to form the wrap bundle 1, the barrier material 21 wraps a group of cigarettes 18 and is sealably closed. First, the cigarette 18 can be placed within the inner frame 24 that can support and protect the cigarette 18, and then the barrier material 21 can wrap around the inner frame 24 and the group of cigarettes 18.

在一實施例中，阻隔材料21的邊緣可貼著包纏捆束1內容物(例如，內框24)的側面折疊以形成互相密封的重疊折片，例如利用黏合劑，熱密封或超音波焊接。 In an embodiment, the edges of the barrier material 21 may be folded against the sides of the contents of the wrap bundle 1 (eg, the inner frame 24) to form mutually overlapping overlapping flaps, such as with an adhesive, heat seal or ultrasonic. welding.

在圖示於第12圖的另一實施例中，可折疊圍繞內框24的阻隔材料21，以及可鰭狀密封(fin sealed)阻隔材料21的末端。 In another embodiment, illustrated in Fig. 12, the barrier material 21 surrounding the inner frame 24 can be folded, and the ends of the barrier material 21 can be fin sealed.

特別是，香煙18可放進內框24，例如藉由折疊圍繞香煙18群組的內框24，然後阻隔材料21可包纏內框24，如圖示。 In particular, the cigarettes 18 can be placed into the inner frame 24, such as by folding the inner frame 24 surrounding the group of cigarettes 18, and then the barrier material 21 can wrap around the inner frame 24, as shown.

首先，阻隔材料21的邊緣可互相鰭狀密封以形成第一鰭狀密封件45，這意謂阻隔材料21在內框24周圍呈管狀。然後，管狀阻隔材料21的末端也可鰭狀密封在一起，以形成第二及第三鰭狀密封件46、47，如第12圖所示。在此實施例中，圖示於第13圖經鰭狀密封的捆束1有延伸跨越包纏捆束1背面3的第一鰭狀密封件45，以及沿著包纏捆束1之對立側面4、5延伸的第二及第三鰭狀密封件46、47。 First, the edges of the barrier material 21 may be finned to each other to form a first fin seal 45, which means that the barrier material 21 is tubular around the inner frame 24. The ends of the tubular barrier material 21 can then also be finned together to form second and third fin seals 46, 47, as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the bundle 1 of fin seals illustrated in Figure 13 has a first fin seal 45 extending across the back side 3 of the wrap bundle 1 and along the opposite side of the wrap bundle 1 4, 5 extended second and third fin seals 46, 47.

在示意圖示於第14圖的另一實施例中，可形成跨越包纏捆束1之端面7(與有黏合標籤13的端面6相反)的第一鰭狀密封件45。然後，沿著包纏捆束1之對立側面4、5，可形成第二及第三鰭狀密封件46、47。 In another embodiment, schematically illustrated in Fig. 14, a first fin seal 45 can be formed across the end face 7 of the wrap bundle 1 (opposite the end face 6 with the adhesive label 13). The second and third fin seals 46, 47 can then be formed along the opposing sides 4, 5 of the wrap bundle 1.

在一替代實施例中，在黏合標籤13下面，可形成跨越包纏捆束1之前面2的第一鰭狀密封件45。 In an alternate embodiment, under the adhesive label 13, a first fin seal 45 can be formed across the front face 2 of the wrap bundle 1.

如第13圖所示，可折疊平貼著包纏捆束1之表面的鰭狀密封件45、46、47。 As shown in Fig. 13, the fin seals 45, 46, 47 which wrap around the surface of the bundle 1 are folded.

鰭狀密封件的形成可藉由將阻隔材料21的數個部份壓在一起以及施加熱及/或黏合劑以使阻隔材料21的這些部份連結在一起。熱可使阻隔材料21的組件熔化及/或熔接在一起。 The fin seal can be formed by joining together portions of the barrier material 21 and applying heat and/or adhesive to bond the portions of the barrier material 21 together. Heat can cause the components of the barrier material 21 to melt and/or fuse together.

如上述，經鰭狀密封的包纏捆束1會提供能夠保持壓差的強壯氣密密封件(hermetic seal)。例如，可提供內部壓力高於或低於大氣壓力的包纏捆束。 As described above, the finned bundled bundle 1 provides a strong hermetic seal capable of maintaining a pressure differential. For example, a wrapped bundle of internal pressures above or below atmospheric pressure can be provided.

在包纏捆束1內提供增加的壓力可藉由在形成最終密封件之前，添加空氣或一些其他氣體或液體至包纏捆束1的內部。提供減壓、例如部份真空、至包纏捆束1的內部可藉由在形成最終密封件之前抽出空氣，例如藉由在低壓環境中執行在說明第12圖或第14圖時提及的包纏及密封方法。 Providing increased pressure within the wrap bundle 1 may be by adding air or some other gas or liquid to the interior of the wrap bundle 1 prior to forming the final seal. Providing a reduced pressure, such as a partial vacuum, to the interior of the wrap bundle 1 can be withdrawn by drawing air prior to forming the final seal, for example by performing in a low pressure environment as described in the description of Fig. 12 or Fig. Wrap and seal method.

替換地，包纏捆束1可設有適合讓空氣在一方向可流動而在另一方向不行的單向閥。然後，包纏捆束1上的閥可設有高壓源或者是低壓源以使空氣移動進入或離開包纏捆束1。 Alternatively, the wrap bundle 1 may be provided with a one-way valve adapted to allow air to flow in one direction and not in the other direction. The valve on the wrap bundle 1 can then be provided with a high pressure source or a low pressure source to move the air into or out of the wrap bundle 1.

替換地，可提供有空氣以外之氣體的包纏捆束1內部，例如惰性氣體。另外，可添加為液體的其他物質至包裝內且允許它在包纏捆束1內蒸發，例如，以增加包纏捆束1內的壓力。 Alternatively, an interior of the wrapped bundle 1 with a gas other than air, such as an inert gas, may be provided. Additionally, other materials that may be added as a liquid are packaged into the package and allowed to evaporate within the wrap bundle 1, for example, to increase the pressure within the wrap bundle 1.

如第15圖所示，在說明第1圖至第14圖時提及的各種包纏捆束1之實施例可收容於一鉸蓋包裝(hinged-lid pack)48內以提供一包香煙。 As shown in Fig. 15, the various embodiments of the wrapped bundle 1 referred to in the description of Figs. 1 through 14 can be housed in a hinged-lid pack 48 to provide a pack of cigarettes.

替換地，包纏捆束1本身可提供為一包裝，而沒有任何其他包裝外層(pack outer)或蓋(lid)。 Alternatively, the wrap bundle 1 itself may be provided as a package without any other pack outer or lid.

如第15圖所示，鉸蓋包裝48具有基部部份49，其有平行六面體形式且適合收容包纏捆束1使得包纏捆束1由基部部份49突出。在此位置，黏合標籤13，特別是拉舌片16，可接近用以打開包纏捆束1以及提供存取其中的香煙。 As shown in Fig. 15, the hinge pack 48 has a base portion 49 in the form of a parallelepiped and adapted to receive the wrap bundle 1 such that the wrap bundle 1 protrudes from the base portion 49. In this position, the adhesive label 13, in particular the tab 16, is accessible for opening the wrap bundle 1 and providing access to the cigarette.

蓋50以鉸鏈51為中心鉸接至基部部份49。蓋50在蓋50覆蓋包纏捆束1的關閉位置與露出包纏捆束1的打開位置之間可樞轉。第15圖圖示處於打開位置的蓋50，這使得使用者可抓住黏合標籤13上的拉舌片16以及拉扯撕裂阻隔材料21且形成取出開口17。 The cover 50 is hinged to the base portion 49 centering on the hinge 51. The cover 50 is pivotable between a closed position in which the cover 50 covers the wrap bundle 1 and an open position in which the wrap bundle 1 is exposed. Figure 15 illustrates the cover 50 in an open position, which allows the user to grasp the tab 16 on the adhesive label 13 and pull the tear barrier material 21 and form the removal opening 17.

在其他具體實施例中，黏合標籤13的一部份可附著至蓋50的內面，使得蓋50的操作之同時操作包纏捆束1上的覆蓋折片22。 In other embodiments, a portion of the adhesive label 13 can be attached to the inner face of the cover 50 such that the operation of the cover 50 simultaneously manipulates the cover flap 22 on the bundle 1.

特別是，黏合標籤13的舌片16可黏合至蓋50的內面，使得當蓋50以鉸鏈51為中心樞轉到打開位置時，舌片16被拉扯，從而掀起覆蓋折片22而形成取出開口。 In particular, the tab 16 of the adhesive label 13 can be bonded to the inner face of the cover 50 such that when the cover 50 is pivoted to the open position about the hinge 51, the tab 16 is pulled, thereby lifting the cover flap 22 to form a take-up Opening.

舌片16的外表面可直接附著至蓋之前壁53的內面52，如第16圖所示。替換地，舌片16可向後折疊然後附著至蓋之前壁53的內面52，如第17圖所示。 The outer surface of the tongue 16 can be directly attached to the inner face 52 of the front wall 53 of the cover, as shown in FIG. Alternatively, the tab 16 can be folded back and then attached to the inner face 52 of the front wall 53 of the cover, as shown in FIG.

在第16圖及第17圖的具體實施例中，使拉舌片16附著至蓋50的優點在於：在第一次打開蓋50時可均勻及平滑地拉扯黏合標籤13，這有助於控制阻隔材料21的撕裂。 In the specific embodiment of FIGS. 16 and 17, the advantage of attaching the tab 16 to the cover 50 is that the adhesive label 13 can be evenly and smoothly pulled when the cover 50 is opened for the first time, which facilitates control.
