Description

菸草相關物品之包裝 Packaging of tobacco-related items 發明領域 Field of invention

本發明係關於菸草相關物品之包裝。 The present invention relates to the packaging of tobacco related articles.

發明背景 Background of the invention

WO 98/22368 A揭示了一種盒或包裝，該盒或包裝包含框架(包括主面板、兩個側翼及端蓋片)以及由可撓性阻擋片材料製成之密封包殼，該密封包殼包覆吸煙物品裝料及該框架。包殼之密封接縫至少部分地上覆於框架。包殼可具有可再密封的進入孔隙。 WO 98/22368 A discloses a box or package comprising a frame (including a main panel, two side flaps and an end flap) and a sealed envelope made of a flexible barrier sheet material, the sealed envelope Wrap the smoking article and the frame. The sealing seam of the cladding at least partially overlies the frame. The cladding may have a resealable entry aperture.

自WO 98/22367 A中已知一種相似的盒。在此情況下，密封包殼中之進入孔隙自包殼之頂側面延伸至包殼之主側面，且可由可再密封的黏性罩蓋關閉，該黏性罩蓋可繞頂側面之邊緣(遠離該主側面)處的鉸合線折疊，以准許進入包裝之內部。當罩蓋再密封時，框架之各部分提供反壓力。盒可***附加的堅硬外盒中。 A similar cartridge is known from WO 98/22367 A. In this case, the entry aperture in the sealed enclosure extends from the top side of the cladding to the major side of the cladding and can be closed by a resealable adhesive cover that can be wrapped around the edge of the top side ( The hinge line away from the main side is folded to permit access to the interior of the package. When the cover is resealed, the various portions of the frame provide back pressure. The box can be inserted into an additional rigid outer box.

WO 00/01594 A揭示了一種薄片(膠黏或黏性標籤)，該薄片用於在盒之密封包殼的進入開口之區域中施加至阻擋片材料，該盒與先前所解釋之盒相似。以此方式， 形成具有黏性邊緣之可再密封蓋片，該蓋片可繞位於盒之頂側面的邊緣(遠離主側面)處之鉸合線折疊。標籤包含兩個層(加上黏合劑)，其中內層包括主部分及非黏性次部分，該次部分藉由穿過內層之切口與該主部分分離。次部分充當抓握舌片，其中切口具有以下效果：抓握舌片自該抓握舌片之下的阻擋片材料稍微提起，從而促進舌片之操縱。然而，薄片之製造涉及一些費用。 WO 00/01594 A discloses a sheet (adhesive or adhesive label) for application to a barrier sheet material in the region of the entry opening of the sealed envelope of the cartridge, the cartridge being similar to the previously explained cartridge. In this way, A resealable flap having a viscous edge is formed which is foldable about a hinge line at the edge of the top side of the box (away from the major side). The label comprises two layers (plus a binder), wherein the inner layer comprises a main portion and a non-adhesive secondary portion, the secondary portion being separated from the main portion by a slit through the inner layer. The secondary portion acts as a gripping tab, wherein the slit has the effect that the gripping tab is slightly lifted from the barrier sheet material beneath the gripping tab, thereby facilitating manipulation of the tab. However, the manufacture of sheets involves some expense.

發明概要 Summary of invention

本發明之目標係改良目前為止所解釋之盒，尤其關於可再密封蓋片之操縱來改良。 The object of the present invention is to improve the cartridges explained so far, and in particular to improve the handling of resealable coverslips.

藉由請求項1中所定義的菸草相關物品之包裝來達成此目標。自附屬請求項得出本發明之有利版本。請求項14係關於製造此種包裝之製程。 This is achieved by packaging the tobacco-related items as defined in claim 1. An advantageous version of the invention is derived from the accessory claims. Item 14 is a process for making such a package.

根據本發明的菸草相關物品之包裝包含密封包殼，該密封包殼包含可撓性阻擋片材料，該阻擋片材料包覆菸草相關物品(例如，香煙)之裝料且形成前壁、後壁、兩個側壁、頂壁及底壁。側壁可為平坦的，但其他設計(例如，略圓的或具有斜面邊緣區)同樣有可能。此外，「壁」一詞不暗含此等壁為堅硬的。使用此術語(且無論包裝之實際取向如何)，前壁具有比頂壁更大的面積。進入開口在頂壁之至少一部分及前壁之至少一部分上延伸，且由可再密封蓋片覆蓋，該蓋片可繞鉸合線折疊，以准許進入包裝之內部。根據本發明，蓋片之鉸合線位於包殼之前壁處。就此而論， 包殼之前壁與包殼之頂壁之間的邊緣仍然被認為是前壁之部分，以使得在極端情況下，蓋片之鉸合線可位於包殼之前壁與包殼之頂壁之間的邊緣處。 A package for a tobacco-related article according to the present invention comprises a sealed envelope comprising a flexible barrier sheet material that coats a charge of a tobacco-related article (eg, a cigarette) and forms a front wall, a back wall , two side walls, a top wall and a bottom wall. The sidewalls may be flat, but other designs (eg, slightly rounded or have beveled edge regions) are equally possible. Moreover, the term "wall" does not imply that these walls are rigid. Using this term (and regardless of the actual orientation of the package), the front wall has a larger area than the top wall. The access opening extends over at least a portion of the top wall and at least a portion of the front wall and is covered by a resealable cover sheet that is foldable about the hinge line to permit access to the interior of the package. According to the invention, the hinge line of the cover sheet is located at the front wall of the cladding. In this connection, The edge between the front wall of the cladding and the top wall of the cladding is still considered to be part of the front wall, so that in extreme cases, the hinge line of the cover sheet may be located between the front wall of the cladding and the top wall of the cladding At the edge of the.

因此，關於密封包殼及可再密封蓋片，根據本發明之包裝大體與WO 98/22367 A中所揭示之包裝相似，且保持其內容物新鮮。然而，蓋片之鉸合線並非佈置於頂壁與後壁相交處之邊緣處，而是位於包殼之前壁處。為進入包裝之內部，使用者在頂壁處提起蓋片，且將該蓋片沿前壁之上部區域向下拉，此與先前技術包裝正相反。在本發明中，蓋片之操縱通常更容易，因為蓋片之端部與蓋片之鉸合線相對，亦即，抓取蓋片且將其自包殼提起處之端部存在於包裝之頂壁處。為此目的，蓋片較佳地包含抓握舌片，該抓握舌片位於遠離蓋片之鉸合線的區域中。抓握舌片促進對蓋片之抓取。 Thus, with regard to the sealed envelope and the resealable cover sheet, the package according to the invention is substantially similar to the package disclosed in WO 98/22367 A and keeps its contents fresh. However, the hinge line of the cover sheet is not disposed at the edge of the intersection of the top wall and the rear wall, but at the front wall of the cladding. To access the interior of the package, the user lifts the cover sheet at the top wall and pulls the cover sheet down the upper portion of the front wall, as opposed to prior art packages. In the present invention, the manipulation of the cover sheet is generally easier because the end of the cover sheet is opposite to the hinge line of the cover sheet, that is, the end portion of the cover sheet that is grasped and lifted from the package is present in the package. At the top wall. For this purpose, the cover sheet preferably comprises a gripping tab which is located in the region of the hinge line remote from the flap. Grasping the tongue facilitates the grasping of the cover sheet.

在本發明之有利實施例中，蓋片包含層，該層包括自形成包殼之前壁及包殼之頂壁的阻擋片材料切割之阻擋片材料。蓋片之此層由標籤覆蓋，該標籤具有黏性邊緣區，該等黏性邊緣區延伸超出該層之切割邊緣且適於在進入開口被覆蓋時密封蓋片。在與蓋片之鉸合線相對且超出蓋片之該阻擋片材料層的區域中，標籤可繞折疊線向後折疊，因此形成抓握舌片，該抓握舌片在包殼之頂壁處係可觸及的。出於密封目的，在抓握舌片之折疊線與蓋片之阻擋片材料層的靠近此折疊線之切割邊緣之間，可存在黏性區。較佳地，抓握舌片為非黏性的。標籤可具備由黏合劑 完全覆蓋之底側面，該底側面形成標籤之黏性邊緣區且准許將標籤以容易的方式膠黏至蓋片之阻擋片材料層。在抓握舌片之區域中，可將黏合劑移除或中和掉或藉由例如紙或某種膜材料來覆蓋黏合劑。 In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the cover sheet comprises a layer comprising a barrier sheet material cut from the barrier sheet material forming the front wall of the cladding and the top wall of the cladding. This layer of cover slip is covered by a label having a viscous edge region that extends beyond the cutting edge of the layer and is adapted to seal the cover sheet when the access opening is covered. In the region opposite the hinge line of the cover sheet and beyond the layer of the barrier sheet material of the cover sheet, the label can be folded back around the fold line, thus forming a gripping tab that is at the top wall of the cladding It is accessible. For sealing purposes, there may be a viscous zone between the fold line of the grip tab and the cut edge of the flap of the cover sheet adjacent the fold line. Preferably, the gripping tongue is non-adhesive. Label can be made of adhesive The bottom side of the fully covered side forms the viscous edge region of the label and permits the label to be adhesively bonded to the barrier sheet material layer of the cover sheet in an easy manner. In areas where the tabs are gripped, the adhesive can be removed or neutralized or covered by, for example, paper or a film material.

在此等實施例中，界定抓握舌片之折疊線可為將抓握舌片向後折疊約180°處之折疊線。因為抓握舌片將不會停留於如此強烈折疊之狀態，而是將稍微提起，所以可容易地抓取抓握舌片以便打開蓋片。為此目的，通常不需要在折疊線之區域中特別處理標籤，因此可以相對較低的成本製造標籤。 In such embodiments, the fold line defining the grip tab may be a fold line that folds the grip tab back about 180°. Since the gripping tab will not stay in such a strongly folded state, but will be lifted slightly, the gripping tab can be easily grasped to open the flap. For this purpose, it is generally not necessary to treat the label in particular in the area of the fold line, so that the label can be manufactured at a relatively low cost.

標籤之在包殼之前壁處延伸的部分可具有大的長度，即使此並非覆蓋大的進入開口所需要的，該長度例如為前壁之長度的至少60%、至少65%、至少70%、至少75%、至少80%或至少85%，其中前壁之長度係在包殼之底壁及包殼之頂壁連接至前壁處的邊緣之間量測的。大標籤可用作顯著的標誌或用作資訊之載體。因為標籤可在獨立於製備阻擋片材料之製程中生產且例如印刷有資訊，所以總製造製程變得更靈活。然而，取決於進入開口之大小，短標籤同樣有可能。 The portion of the label that extends at the wall prior to the cladding may have a large length, even if this is not required to cover a large access opening, such as at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70% of the length of the front wall, At least 75%, at least 80%, or at least 85%, wherein the length of the front wall is measured between the bottom wall of the cladding and the edge of the top wall of the cladding connected to the front wall. Large labels can be used as a prominent symbol or as a vehicle for information. Since the label can be produced in a process independent of the preparation of the barrier sheet material and printed, for example, with information, the overall manufacturing process becomes more flexible. However, depending on the size of the access opening, short tags are equally possible.

通常，可以多種方式設計標籤。例如，標籤可為空白的，標籤可印刷有裝飾元素及/或資訊，標籤可為有色或無色的，標籤可包含直線邊緣或非直線邊緣等。此外，標籤可具備衝壓孔或衝壓圖形元素。若此類孔或衝壓元素在已置放標籤後上覆於包殼之阻擋片材料，則衝壓孔或衝 壓圖形元素將不會使包殼之密封效果惡化。亦可想到標籤之不同設計元素的任何組合。 Often, labels can be designed in a variety of ways. For example, the label can be blank, the label can be printed with decorative elements and/or information, the label can be colored or uncolored, and the label can include straight edges or non-linear edges. In addition, the label can have punched holes or stamped graphic elements. If such a hole or stamping element overlies the barrier material of the cladding after the label has been placed, the punched hole or punch Pressing the graphic elements will not degrade the sealing effect of the cladding. Any combination of different design elements of the label can also be envisioned.

取決於總構造，進入開口之大小可改變，且相應地，蓋片之長度可改變。更精確而言，在長蓋片設計中，進入開口之在包殼之前壁處延伸的部分可具有為前壁之長度的至少60%或前壁之長度的至少75%之長度。在短蓋片設計中，進入開口之該部分可具有例如為前壁之長度的至多40%或前壁之長度的至多30%之長度。然而，如已提及的，短長度的進入開口可與長標籤結合。進入開口之在包殼之前壁上的延伸部之任何中間值同樣有可能。 Depending on the overall configuration, the size of the access opening can vary, and accordingly, the length of the cover sheet can vary. More precisely, in a long cover sheet design, the portion of the access opening that extends at the wall prior to the cladding may have a length that is at least 60% of the length of the front wall or at least 75% of the length of the front wall. In a short cover sheet design, the portion of the access opening may have a length of, for example, up to 40% of the length of the front wall or up to 30% of the length of the front wall. However, as already mentioned, a short length access opening can be combined with a long label. Any intermediate value of the extension of the inlet opening on the wall before the cladding is equally possible.

為使包裝穩定，可在菸草相關物品之裝料與包殼之間提供內框架。例如由紙板製成之內框架具有形狀，以使得內框架不會遮擋進入開口之區域。通常，不需要內框架完全包圍菸草相關物品，因為阻擋片材料已具有一些剛性，且菸草相關物品亦有助於穩定。用於內框架之實例在此項技術中係熟知的，例如自WO 98/22368 A或自WO 98/22367 A。 To stabilize the package, an inner frame can be provided between the charge and the cladding of the tobacco-related article. The inner frame, for example made of cardboard, has a shape such that the inner frame does not obscure the area of the opening. Generally, the inner frame is not required to completely enclose the tobacco-related article because the barrier sheet material already has some rigidity and the tobacco-related article also contributes to stability. Examples of internal frames are well known in the art, for example from WO 98/22368 A or from WO 98/22367 A.

根據本發明之包裝可以如目前為止所描述之形式銷售。在此情況下，包殼可印刷有例如品牌名稱及資訊。 The package according to the invention can be sold as described so far. In this case, the envelope can be printed with, for example, a brand name and information.

在另外的實施例中，包裝另外包含外殼，包殼***該外殼中。外殼可例如由紙板製成或由塑膠材料製成。 In a further embodiment, the package additionally comprises a housing into which the cladding is inserted. The outer casing can for example be made of cardboard or of plastic material.

在此種類之有利實施例中，外殼經設計為包含蓋之鉸蓋盒，該蓋可繞位於外殼之後壁處的鉸合線旋轉。當包殼***外殼中時，包殼之前壁面向外殼之前壁。當蓋打 開時，包殼之進入開口係可進入的。此類鉸蓋盒在此項技術中係熟知的，且獲廣泛傳播。通常，該等鉸蓋盒在前壁處具有切口，以促進在蓋打開時觸及其中所含之吸煙物品。 In an advantageous embodiment of this kind, the outer casing is designed as a hinged box containing a cover that is rotatable about a hinge line at the rear wall of the outer casing. When the cladding is inserted into the outer casing, the front wall of the cladding faces the front wall of the outer casing. When the cover is hit When opened, the entry opening of the cladding is accessible. Such hinged closures are well known in the art and are widely spread. Typically, the hinged lids have slits in the front wall to facilitate access to the smoking articles contained therein when the lid is opened.

將如以上所解釋的在頂壁處包括具有折疊抓握舌片之蓋片的包殼與鉸蓋盒一起使用，提供了以下極大的優點：當蓋打開時可容易地抓取抓握舌片，以便操縱蓋片。當蓋再次關閉時，折疊抓握舌片毫無問題地裝配於蓋之下，且保持其折疊形狀。與此相反，若蓋片以相反的方式佈置成抓握舌片置放於包殼之前壁處，則將需要一些努力來在蓋已打開後抓握舌片，或在蓋將要關閉時正確地重新佈置舌片。 The use of a cover comprising a cover sheet having a folded grip tab at the top wall as explained above, in conjunction with a hinged box, provides the great advantage of being able to easily grasp the grip tab when the cover is opened In order to manipulate the cover sheet. When the cover is closed again, the folding grip tab fits under the cover without any problem and maintains its folded shape. In contrast, if the cover sheets are arranged in the opposite manner such that the gripping tabs are placed at the front wall of the cladding, some effort will be required to grasp the tabs after the cover has been opened, or correctly when the cover is about to be closed. Rearrange the tabs.

在其他實施例中，包裝不但包含外殼而且包含內殼，其中包殼***內殼中，且內殼可相對於外殼自關閉位置移動至進入位置，包殼之進入開口在該進入位置中係可進入的。例如，包殼(包括其內容物)可***如WO 2011/060930 A中所描述來設計之包裝之內殼中，包殼之前壁面向內殼之前壁。在此情況下，內殼可在外殼中向上移動，其中鉸接地連接至外殼之蓋自動打開。當內殼處於其提起狀態時，蓋片及包殼之進入開口係易於可觸及的。以引用方式併入WO 2011/060930 A之揭示內容。 In other embodiments, the package includes not only the outer casing but also the inner casing, wherein the outer casing is inserted into the inner casing, and the inner casing is movable relative to the outer casing from a closed position to an entry position in which the inlet opening of the cladding is Entered. For example, the cladding (including its contents) can be inserted into an inner casing of a package designed as described in WO 2011/060930 A with the front wall facing the inner wall of the inner casing. In this case, the inner casing can be moved upwards in the outer casing, wherein the cover hingedly connected to the outer casing is automatically opened. When the inner casing is in its lifted state, the access opening of the cover sheet and the outer casing is easily accessible. The disclosure of WO 2011/060930 A is incorporated by reference.

通常，若蓋片之材料為相對剛性的，則蓋片可趨於在其已被打開來觸及包裝之內容物後，自行關閉。為避免此自我關閉效果，蓋片可較佳地在包殼之頂壁的區域中 包含自黏貼區域，該自黏貼區域包含面向外的黏貼構件。自黏貼區域可用來在蓋片向後彎曲或折疊時，以打開狀態將蓋片分別黏貼或黏附至包殼之前壁或外殼之前壁。為再次關閉蓋片，容易將自黏貼區域自包殼或外殼之前壁拉下。可以各種方式給自黏貼區域之黏貼構件提供例如壓敏型黏合劑(與黏貼至包殼或外殼之材料相比，該壓敏型黏合劑優先更好地分別黏貼至其自身且黏貼至蓋片之材料，以避免在錯誤面處的黏合劑剩餘物)，或吸引裝置等。 Typically, if the cover sheet material is relatively rigid, the cover sheet may tend to close itself after it has been opened to access the contents of the package. In order to avoid this self-closing effect, the cover sheet may preferably be in the area of the top wall of the cladding The self-adhesive area is included, and the self-adhesive area includes an outward facing adhesive member. The self-adhesive area can be used to adhere or adhere the cover sheets to the front wall of the cladding or the front wall of the outer casing in an open state when the cover sheets are bent or folded backward. In order to close the cover sheet again, it is easy to pull the self-adhesive area from the front wall of the case or the case. The adhesive member of the self-adhesive area can be provided with, for example, a pressure-sensitive adhesive in various ways (the pressure-sensitive adhesive preferentially adheres to itself and adheres to the cover sheet as compared with the material adhered to the outer casing or the outer casing. The material to avoid the residue of the adhesive at the wrong surface), or the suction device, etc.

詳細說明 Detailed description

圖1以三個三維視圖(亦即，圖1(a)，圖1(b)及圖1(c))例示菸草相關物品之包裝1的實施例。 Figure 1 illustrates an embodiment of a package 1 of a tobacco-related article in three three-dimensional views (i.e., Figure 1 (a), Figure 1 (b) and Figure 1 (c)).

包裝1包含由可撓性阻擋片材料製成之包殼2。此類阻擋片材料在此項技術中係熟知的。當密封時，包殼2保持其中所含之菸草相關物品的水分及芳香。在實施例中，可撓性阻擋片材料係佈置為圍繞香煙裝料之包覆物。此包覆物形成前壁4(見圖1(a))、後壁5(見圖1(b))、兩個側壁6及7、頂壁8及底壁9(在圖中並非直接可見的)。就此而論，使用「壁」一詞來代替「側面」，然而該詞不具有特殊意義，且不暗含任何關於剛度之性質。對應於實際使用且如圖所示，壁之命名指代包裝1之直立位置，但不包括另外的含意。在任何情況下，前壁4具有比頂壁8更大的面積。例如藉助於熱密封、膠黏及/或摩擦或藉由此項技術中已知的其他手段，在接縫10處密封包殼2。此等接縫10中之兩者在圖1(a)及圖1(b)中係可見的。 The package 1 comprises a cladding 2 made of a flexible barrier sheet material. Such barrier sheet materials are well known in the art. When sealed, the cladding 2 retains the moisture and aroma of the tobacco-related articles contained therein. In an embodiment, the flexible barrier sheet material is arranged to wrap around the cigarette charge. This cladding forms the front wall 4 (see Fig. 1 (a)), the rear wall 5 (see Fig. 1 (b)), the two side walls 6 and 7, the top wall 8 and the bottom wall 9 (not directly visible in the figure) of). In this connection, the word "wall" is used instead of "side", however the term has no special meaning and does not imply any property of stiffness. Corresponding to actual use and as shown, the designation of the wall refers to the upright position of the package 1, but does not include additional meaning. In any case, the front wall 4 has a larger area than the top wall 8. The cladding 2 is sealed at the seam 10, for example by means of heat sealing, gluing and/or rubbing or by other means known in the art. Both of these seams 10 are visible in Figures 1(a) and 1(b).

如圖1(c)所示，進入開口12准許進入包裝1之內部。進入開口12在頂壁8之部分及前壁4之部分上延伸，且可由可再密封蓋片覆蓋。 As shown in Figure 1 (c), the access opening 12 permits access to the interior of the package 1. The access opening 12 extends over portions of the top wall 8 and portions of the front wall 4 and may be covered by a resealable cover sheet.

在實施例中，進入開口12由切割線13界定，該切 割線13係製作為沿進入開口12之三個側面穿過包殼2之材料的直切口，而進入開口12之第四側面由鉸合線14界定。以此方式，自包殼2部分地切斷阻擋片材料層16。藉助於覆蓋標籤18之內部面的大部分區域之黏合劑將黏性標籤18膠黏至此層16之外側面。以此方式，形成蓋片(由20指定)。 In an embodiment, the access opening 12 is defined by a cutting line 13, the cut The secant line 13 is formed as a straight slit through the material of the cladding 2 along three sides of the inlet opening 12, and the fourth side of the inlet opening 12 is defined by a hinge line 14. In this way, the barrier sheet material layer 16 is partially cut from the cladding 2. The adhesive label 18 is glued to the outside of this layer 16 by means of an adhesive covering most of the inner face of the label 18. In this way, a cover sheet (designated by 20) is formed.

標籤18之面積大於層16之面積，因此提供黏性邊緣區22(見圖1(c))。在折疊線24處，標籤18向後急劇彎曲，以便形成抓握舌片26。抓握舌片26之內部面28並非黏性的，此可例如藉由在此區域中移除標籤18之黏合劑，或藉由使用膜材料覆蓋該區域來達成。然而，折疊線24與層16之切割邊緣之間的區為黏性的。 The area of the label 18 is larger than the area of the layer 16, thus providing a viscous edge region 22 (see Figure 1 (c)). At the fold line 24, the label 18 is sharply bent back to form the grip tab 26. The inner face 28 of the grip tab 26 is not viscous, which can be achieved, for example, by removing the adhesive of the label 18 in this area, or by covering the area with a film material. However, the area between the fold line 24 and the cut edge of the layer 16 is viscous.

圖1(c)展示處於如下狀態之包裝1：蓋片20已向後折疊，來打開進入開口12。可便利地移除包裝1之內容物，亦即，香煙30。蓋片20沿鉸合線14自包殼2偏轉。鉸合線14不必為精確的線，而是粗略描繪蓋片20在何處開始自包殼2偏轉。 Figure 1 (c) shows the package 1 in a state in which the cover sheet 20 has been folded back to open the access opening 12. The contents of the package 1, that is, the cigarette 30, can be conveniently removed. The cover sheet 20 is deflected from the cladding 2 along the hinge line 14. The hinge line 14 does not have to be a precise line, but rather roughly depicts where the cover sheet 20 begins to deflect from the cladding 2.

當蓋片20關閉時，邊緣區22及與折疊線24相鄰之區中的黏合劑將包裝1密封。可藉由在抓握舌片26處拉扯且將蓋片20偏轉至圖1(c)所示之位置，來容易地打開蓋片20。 When the cover sheet 20 is closed, the edge region 22 and the adhesive in the region adjacent to the fold line 24 seal the package 1. The cover sheet 20 can be easily opened by pulling at the grip tab 26 and deflecting the cover sheet 20 to the position shown in Fig. 1(c).

此外，由紙板製成之內框架佈置於香煙30與包殼2的內部面之間。內框架部分地圍繞一包香煙30以向包裝1提供一些剛度，尤其在香煙30之部分已從包裝1中取出後。在圖1(c)中，內框架並不可見，因為其不存在於進入開口12之區域中。內框架在此項技術中係熟知的，例如自上述WO 98/22368 A及WO 98/22367 A，且不需要更詳細地解釋。 Further, an inner frame made of cardboard is disposed between the cigarette 30 and the inner face of the cladding 2. The inner frame partially surrounds a pack of cigarettes 30 to provide some rigidity to the package 1, especially after portions of the cigarettes 30 have been removed from the package 1. In Figure 1 (c), the inner frame is not visible because it does not exist in the area of the access opening 12. Inner frames are well known in the art, for example from the above WO 98/22368 A and WO 98/22367 A, and need not be explained in more detail.

圖2中以三維視圖展示與包裝1非常相似之包裝1’。由於相似性，大體使用與圖1中相同的參考數字。包裝1’包含比圖1中之標籤18長很多的標籤18’。圖1’未展示包裝1’之進入開口，該進入開口可相對較大，以使得該進入開口僅稍微小於標籤18’，且包含標籤18’之可再密封蓋片的鉸合線僅位於包裝1’之底壁9上方。另一方面，進入開口可比標籤18’小很多，例如經設定成根據圖1之實施例中的大小，在此情況下，蓋片之鉸合線定位成更靠近包裝1’之頂壁8。 A package 1' very similar to the package 1 is shown in a three-dimensional view in Fig. 2. Due to the similarity, the same reference numerals as in Fig. 1 are generally used. The package 1' contains a label 18' that is much longer than the label 18 of Figure 1. Figure 1 ' does not show the access opening of package 1', which may be relatively large such that the access opening is only slightly smaller than the label 18' and the hinged line of the resealable cover sheet comprising the label 18' is only in the package Above the bottom wall 9 of 1'. Alternatively, the access opening can be much smaller than the label 18', e.g., set to the size of the embodiment of Figure 1, in which case the hinge line of the cover sheet is positioned closer to the top wall 8 of the package 1'.

圖2中的標籤18’之大區域的優點係將此區域用作資訊載體或標誌之可能性，該資訊載體或標誌可在獨立於製造包裝1’之其餘部分的製程中製備。 The advantage of the large area of the label 18' in Figure 2 is the possibility of using this area as an information carrier or logo which can be prepared in a process independent of the remainder of the manufacturing package 1'.

圖3以兩個三維視圖(亦即，圖3(a)及圖3(b))例示菸草相關物品之包裝的第二實施例。 Figure 3 illustrates a second embodiment of a package of tobacco-related articles in two three-dimensional views (i.e., Figures 3(a) and 3(b)).

在此實施例中，藉由將藉助於圖1所解釋之包裝1***外殼40中來形成包裝。外殼40係設計為習知的鉸蓋盒，該鉸蓋盒包含具有前側面43之主部分42及蓋44，該蓋44在位於主部分42之後側面的鉸合線處可旋轉地連接至主部分42。在實施例中，外殼40由紙板製成，且進一步包括具有切口48之領部46，如圖3(a)及圖3(b)所示。當蓋44關閉時，領部46並不可見。 In this embodiment, the package is formed by inserting the package 1 explained with the aid of Figure 1 into the outer casing 40. The outer casing 40 is designed as a conventional hinged box that includes a main portion 42 having a front side 43 and a cover 44 that is rotatably coupled to the main at a hinge line located at a side behind the main portion 42. Part 42. In an embodiment, the outer casing 40 is made of paperboard and further includes a collar 46 having a slit 48, as shown in Figures 3(a) and 3(b). When the cover 44 is closed, the collar 46 is not visible.

以與根據圖1之包裝非常相似的方式來使用根據此實施例之包裝。在蓋44已打開後，抓握舌片26係可觸及的且用來打開蓋片20，見圖3(b)。包殼2中之進入開口12之 下部分經由領部46中之切口48係可觸及的。可以與圖1之情境中所描述之方式相同的方式將蓋片20可再密封地關閉。 The package according to this embodiment is used in a very similar manner to the package according to Fig. 1. After the cover 44 has been opened, the grip tab 26 is accessible and used to open the cover sheet 20, see Figure 3(b). The inlet opening 12 in the cladding 2 The lower portion is accessible through the slit 48 in the collar 46. The cover sheet 20 can be resealably closed in the same manner as described in the context of FIG.

圖4(a)及4(b)中展示菸草相關物品之包裝的第三實施例。 A third embodiment of the package of tobacco related articles is shown in Figures 4(a) and 4(b).

在此情況下，包裝包含外殼50及內殼52，以及具有斜面邊緣壁56之蓋54。外殼50之前壁具備切口58。為打開此包裝，使用者經由切口58輕輕壓在內殼52上，且將內殼52向上移動。由於內殼52與蓋54之間的耦接(圖中未展示)，蓋54自動打開。當使用者再次藉由經由切口58施加力來將內殼52向下移動時，將蓋54拉至關閉狀態，其中斜面邊緣壁56進入外殼50之內部。 In this case, the package includes a housing 50 and an inner housing 52, and a cover 54 having a beveled edge wall 56. The front wall of the outer casing 50 is provided with a slit 58. To open the package, the user gently presses the inner casing 52 through the slit 58 and moves the inner casing 52 upward. Due to the coupling between the inner casing 52 and the cover 54 (not shown), the cover 54 is automatically opened. When the user again moves the inner casing 52 downward by applying a force via the slit 58, the cover 54 is pulled to a closed state in which the beveled edge wall 56 enters the interior of the outer casing 50.

目前為止，在WO 2011/060930 A1中詳細揭示了此包裝，因此不需要進一步解釋。 This package has been disclosed in detail in WO 2011/060930 A1 and therefore no further explanation is required.

除WO 2011/060930 A1之設計外，如藉助於圖1所描述之包裝1被***內殼52中，以使得當蓋54打開且將內殼52向上移動時，可在包裝之頂側面處抓取抓握舌片26，如圖4(a)中。如前所述，可自進入開口12拉扯蓋片20且使其偏轉，見圖4(b)。因為內殼52在其上前部分中具有切口，見圖4(b)，所以呈現出可供使用的香煙30。 In addition to the design of WO 2011/060930 A1, the package 1 as described with the aid of Figure 1 is inserted into the inner casing 52 such that when the cover 54 is opened and the inner casing 52 is moved upwards, it can be grasped at the top side of the package. The grip tab 26 is taken as shown in Fig. 4(a). As previously mentioned, the cover sheet 20 can be pulled from the access opening 12 and deflected, see Figure 4(b). Since the inner casing 52 has a slit in its upper front portion, see Fig. 4(b), the cigarette 30 is available for use.

圖4(a)及圖4(b)所示之包裝係包含外殼及內殼之包裝的實例，其中包殼***內殼中，且內殼可相對於外殼自關閉位置移動至進入位置，在該進入位置中，包殼之進入開口係可進入的。 The package shown in Figures 4(a) and 4(b) is an example of a package comprising a casing and an inner casing, wherein the casing is inserted into the inner casing, and the inner casing is movable relative to the casing from the closed position to the entry position, In the entry position, the entry opening of the cladding is accessible.

取決於蓋片20之彈性性質，當包裝處於圖4(b)所 示之狀態時，蓋片20黏貼至外殼50之前側面可能係有幫助的，以避免蓋片20擺動回去。為此目的，標籤18之外部面可具備自黏貼區域60，見圖4(a)，該自黏貼區域60包含面向外的黏貼構件。黏貼構件可包括例如壓敏型黏合劑或吸引裝置。在此情況下，蓋片20在其打開時黏貼至外殼50之前壁，如圖4(b)中。為再關閉蓋片20，可將自黏貼區域60自外殼50之前壁容易地拉下。 Depending on the elastic nature of the cover sheet 20, when the package is in Figure 4(b) In the illustrated state, it may be helpful to adhere the cover sheet 20 to the front side of the outer casing 50 to prevent the cover sheet 20 from swinging back. To this end, the outer face of the label 18 can be provided with a self-adhesive area 60, see Fig. 4(a), which includes an outwardly facing adhesive member. The adhesive member may include, for example, a pressure sensitive adhesive or a suction device. In this case, the cover sheet 20 is adhered to the front wall of the outer casing 50 when it is opened, as shown in Fig. 4(b). To reclose the cover sheet 20, the self-adhesive area 60 can be easily pulled down from the front wall of the outer casing 50.

在其他實施例中，例如在如圖1所示之第一實施例中，或在如圖3所示之第二實施例中，此類自黏貼區域亦可為有幫助的。 In other embodiments, such as in the first embodiment as shown in FIG. 1, or in the second embodiment as shown in FIG. 3, such self-adhesive areas may also be helpful.

在第二實施例及第三實施例中，內框架沒有在圖1之實施例中那麼重要，因為包殼2分別由外殼40及由內殼52在外部穩定。 In the second and third embodiments, the inner frame is not as important in the embodiment of Fig. 1 because the cladding 2 is externally stabilized by the outer casing 40 and by the inner casing 52, respectively.
