Definitions

  • Patent No. 2,922,342 dated Jan. 26, 1960. Divided and this application Feb. 19, 1959, Ser. No. 794,376
  • This invention concerns an improved wrapping for cigarettes, which forms an inner wrapper for a cigarette packet.
  • the invention provides an inner wrapper for a cigarette packet, which wrapper is formed from two portions of wrapping material, which together enclose a batch of cigarettes, one of the said portions being removable to expose the cigarettes, said wrapper having a pull strip arranged within it so as to be looped loosely beneath some of the said cigarettes, the said pull strip having a free end portion which is adapted to be grasped and pulled in order to lift those cigarettes beneath which the strip is looped, the said free end being concealed by the said removable portion of the wrapper until the said removable portion is removed.
  • the said removable portion overlaps the other portion adjacent one end of the said batch of cigarettes, and the said free end portion of the pull strip projects from beneath the said other portion so as to lie between the said removable portion and the cigarettes.
  • the said pull strip may be secured to an inner face of the said other portion of the wrapper and extend downwardly from the position at which it is so secured.
  • Figure 1 is a diagrammatic sectional view
  • FIG 2 is a perspective view of the wrapper illustrated in Figure 1
  • Figure 3 is a view showing a wrapper similar to that shown in Figure 2 but enclosed in an outer box, and
  • Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 2 but showing a removable portion of the wrapper in position before removal.
  • the wrapper illustrated forms an inner wrapper for a batch of cigarettes, and comprises a metallic foil wrapper 1 which is made in two parts, namely a main portion which envelopes the greater part of the batch of cigarettes, and a removable part 101 which is intended to be discarded when the cigarette package is opened.
  • a metallic foil wrapper 1 which is made in two parts, namely a main portion which envelopes the greater part of the batch of cigarettes, and a removable part 101 which is intended to be discarded when the cigarette package is opened.
  • a removable part 101 which is intended to be discarded when the cigarette package is opened.
  • the part 101 is shown as having been removed.
  • the strip 8 extends along the inner surface of the Wrapper 1 so as to be looped beneath a few of the cigarettes in the ICE wrapper, and a short length 102 of the strip extends from. beneath the edge of the foil 1.
  • This length 102 lies between the top end faces of the cigarettes and the removable part 101 of the wrapping.
  • the extending length 102 is concealed by the part 101, but when the latter is removed, the part 102 of the strip is plainly visible and easily grasped, as can be seen from Figures 2 and 3.
  • the removable part 101 of the wrapping also has a strip 8 secured to its inner surface.
  • the wrapping as a whole has been formed from a single piece cut from a web of foil, which piece has the strip 8 secured to it, this composite piece subsequently being subdivided to form the two separate portions of wrapping material which together form the wrapper.
  • the strip 8 is secured to the foil web in the manner described in our copending US. application Serial No. 609,291, filed September 11, 1956, and in practice it is found convenient to gum the strip 8 over a substantial length so as to ensure that it is secured to the inner surface of the main part of the wrapper.
  • Figure 3 illustrates a wrapping similar to that shown in Figure 2, and enclosed in an outer cardboard box of rectilinear cross-section which in construction is generally similar to that disclosed in US. Patent No. 2,163,828.
  • an inner wrapper formed of a fixed portion and a removable portion, said removable portion comprising substantially less than onehalf of the total wrapper and being before removal arranged in overlapping relationship with the said fixed part at the upper end of the package, so as upon removal to expose the top ends of some of the cigarettes, said wrapper having a lifting strip secured at one end to an inner face of the fixed portion at a position between the top and bottom of the wrapper, said strip extending downwardly along said inner face, extending beneath some of the cigarettes, and extending upwardly along the inner face opposed to said first mentioned inner face, the free end of the lifting strip extending beneath the removable portion of the wrapper and being concealed thereby until the said portion is removed, the said free end portion being, when so exposed, adapted to be grasped and pulled in order to lift the cigarettes beneath which the strip extends.
