Abstract
A rigid pack with a hinged lid for tobacco products appears as a container (3) presenting an open top (4) surrounded by a free edge (3 a), and a lid (5) hinged to the container along a crease line (6) and presenting a free bottom edge (5 a) . When the lid (5) occupies the closed position, the two free edges (3 a , 5 a) meet along a closure line (15) of which at least one portion describes a path deviating at least in part from a path parallel to the hinge line (6) and exhibiting a highlighted area (21) along at least part of its length. The highlighted area (21) serves to accentuate the closure line (15) and can be printed, if intended simply to make the line more clearly visible, or alternatively, obtained by embossing or by applying a layer of material having a high coefficient of friction with the additional end in view of providing a roughened surface which besides accentuating the closure line (15) also facilitates the operation of opening the lid (5).
Description
- The present invention relates to a pack of rigid type with a hinged lid for tobacco products.
- The term “pack” used throughout the following specification can be taken to mean either a carton serving to contain a plurality of packets of cigarettes, or a single packet containing a group of cigarettes or tobacco products in general.
- In general, a rigid pack of the aforementioned type is fabricated from a precreased flat diecut blank and comprises a container, a lid hinged to a rear edge of the container and rotatable thus about a hinge line in such a way as to close an open end of the selfsame container, and a reinforcing frame disposed partly inside the container. The frame is anchored to a front face and to two flank faces of the container, and functions as a stabilizing element serving to retain the lid in the position assumed when the pack is closed.
- Conventionally, when packs of the type in question are closed, the free bottom edge of the lid and the free top edge of the container meet in mutual contact along a closure line, and in particular, the portions of the respective edges coinciding with the front face of the pack are disposed parallel with the hinge line.
- The prior art also embraces packs wherein the two free edges, or rather the parts of these same edges coinciding at least with the portion of the closure line occupying the front face of the pack, appear skew and are not disposed parallel to the hinge line.
- It has been found by experiment that this latter solution assures a more effective closure of the lid, as it affords a larger area of contact between the inside of the lid and the reinforcing frame.
- It has also been observed, with this solution, that consumers accustomed to handling the traditional type of packet have trouble in locating the edge of the lid at first touch, and moreover that they experience greater difficulty when opening the lid, especially when breaking open a new packet, by reason of the aforementioned larger area of contact between the frame and the lid, and are liable as a result to damage the packet.
- The object of the present invention is to overcome the above noted drawbacks.
- The stated object is realized according to the present invention in a pack of rigid hinge-lid type for tobacco products, exhibiting a substantially parallelepiped appearance and comprising a container with an opening that defines a free top edge, also a lid hinged to the container along a respective hinge line and presenting a respective bottom edge which when occupying a closed position in contact with the free top edge of the opening presented by the container defines a closure line of which at least one part, coinciding at least with a front face of the pack, describes a path deviating at least partly from a path parallel to the hinge line, characterized in that it presents a highlighted area located along at least one part of the closure line and serving to accentuate the selfsame closure line.
- The invention will now be described in detail, by way of example, with the aid of the accompanying drawings, in which:
- FIGS.1 to 10 illustrate a pack according to the present invention, viewed schematically and in perspective, in particular a packet of cigarettes shown in a number of possible embodiments and pictured in open and closed configurations;
- FIGS. 11 and 12 illustrate further embodiments of a pack according to the present invention, viewed schematically and in perspective;
- FIGS. 13 and 14 illustrate a pack according to the present invention, viewed schematically and in perspective, in particular a carton containing packets of cigarettes shown in two possible embodiments and pictured in open and closed configurations.
- With reference to FIGS.1 to 10 of the drawings, 1 denotes a pack for tobacco products, in its entirety, embodied in this particular instance as a
rigid packet 2 serving to contain a group of cigarettes (not illustrated), comprising a cuppedcontainer 3 with an opentop end 4 surmounted by alid 5 also of cupped embodiment, joined to thecontainer 3 along ahinge line 6 and rotatable thus between an open position, illustrated in FIGS. 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10, and a position in which theopen top end 4 is closed, illustrated in FIGS. 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. - The
container 3 presents abottom end face 7, afront face 8, arear face 9 and twoflank faces 10. The freetop edges front face 8 and the flank faces 10 combine to establish a freetop edge 3 a of thecontainer 3, coinciding thus with the aforementionedopen top end 4 which is directed toward thelid 5. - In like manner, the
lid 5 presents afront face 11, arear face 12, two flank faces 13, and atop end face 14. - The
front face 8 of thecontainer 3 and thefront face 11 of thelid 5 make up thefront face 2 a of thepacket 2, whilst the flank faces 10 of the container and the flank faces 13 of the lid make up the flank faces 2 b of thepacket 2. - The
front face 11 and the flank faces 13 of the lid present respectivefree edges bottom edge 5 a of thelid 5 and coinciding thus with an open bottom end, which is directed toward thecontainer 3 when thelid 5 occupies the closed position. - In the closed position, the
meeting edges container 3 and thelid 5 establish a line ofclosure 15 on thepacket 2. - The
single packet 2 contains aninner wrapper 16 enveloping a group of cigarettes (not illustrated) and presents astiffening frame 17 interposed between the rigid material of thepacket 2 and theinner wrapper 16, which is anchored to thecontainer 3 and comprises aportion 17 a positioned internally of thecontainer 3 and aportion 17 b projecting from the container through theopen top end 4. - More precisely, the
frame 17 presents abreast piece 18 secured in part to thefront face 8 of thecontainer 3, on the inside, and twoside pieces 19 secured in part to the flank faces 10 of thecontainer 3, on the inside. - The
breast piece 18 of theframe 17 terminates uppermost in anedge 20 of “U” profile disposed with the concave outline directed toward thelid 5. - In the examples of FIGS.1 to 10 showing the
packet 2 in the closed condition, that is to say with the bottomfree edge 5 a of thelid 5 engaging the freetop edge 3 a of thecontainer 3, the two meeting edges combine to establish theaforementioned closure line 15, which describes a path deviating from a path parallel to theaforementioned hinge line 6. - In the case of FIG. 1, more exactly, the
closure line 15 describes an arcuate path across thefront face 2 a, of which the concave outline is directed toward thebottom end face 7, and two arcuate extremities on theflank faces 2 b each with the concave outline directed toward thetop end face 14. - In the case of FIG. 3 the
closure line 15 describes an arcuate path with the concave outline directed toward thetop end face 14, both on thefront face 2 a and on theflank faces 2 b. - In the examples of5, 7 and 9, finally, the
closure line 15 describes an undulating path that can extend across both thefront face 2 a and the flank faces 2 b of thepacket 2, as illustrated in FIG. 5, or thefront face 2 a only as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 9. - It will be clear that the
closure lines 15 shown in the accompanying drawings are illustrated by way of example only, and that in practice thelines 15 might describe any given path deviating at least in part from a path parallel to thehinge line 6 along which thelid 5 and thecontainer 3 are joined. - According to the present invention, the
single packet 2 presents a highlightedarea 21 occupying at least one part of theclosure line 15 and serving to accentuate theselfsame line 15. - In the examples of FIGS. 1, 2,5 and 6 the highlighted
area 21 extends along the full length of theclosure line 15, whilst in the examples of FIGS. 3, 4, 7, 8, 9 and 10 the highlightedarea 21 extends along only a part of theclosure line 15. - The highlighted
area 21 is presented by thelid 5 in all of the embodiments illustrated, and might be printed, as in the examples of FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4. Alternatively, the highlightedarea 21 might be produced by means of a reeding or embossing operation as in the example of FIGS. 5 and 6. Finally, the highlightedarea 21 might be produced by applying alayer 22 of a substance having a high coefficient of friction, such as paint, lacquer or the like, as in the examples of FIGS. 7 to 10. - To this end, it is important to observe that in the case of the examples illustrated both in FIGS. 5 and 6 and in FIGS. 7, 8,9 and 10, the respective highlighted
areas 21 afford a roughened surface intended both to render theclosure 15 more readily identifiable and to facilitate the operation of easing thelid 5 away from thecontainer 3. - Moreover, it should be specified that the highlighted
areas 21 obtained by embossing in the example of FIGS. 5 and 6, or by the application of material in the examples of FIGS. 7, 8, 9 and 10, can be produced in combination with and/or in addition to a printing operation. - As illustrated by way of example in FIGS. 11 and 12, all of the
packs 1 illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 10 can be fashioned with bevelled longitudinal corner edges 23 (FIG. 11) or with rounded longitudinal corner edges 24 (FIG. 12). - Similarly, as illustrated in FIGS. 13 and 14, the
packs 1 can be embodied ascartons 25 serving to contain a plurality ofpackets 2. Thecarton 25 will exhibit the same characteristics as described for the packets of FIGS. 1 to 12, including the possibility of incorporating bevelled or rounded longitudinal corner edges. - The
