Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to the field of packaging for tobacco products.
  • the present invention relates to a new type of cigarette pack, and blank therefor.
  • hard-shell cases provide an increased amount of protection for cigarettes and, if shaped appropriately, can also be comfortable for users to carry in garment pockets. On the other hand, the necessity to refill these hard-shell cases can be burdensome and awkward for users.
  • cigarette packs made of cardboard were developed.
  • the aim of the cardboard pack was to combine the sturdiness of the hard-shell packs with the disposability and convenience of soft-shell packs.
  • these packs are made of sturdy cardboard with pronounced edge, and comprise lids which open from the top and allow users to access the cigarettes inside. Whilst these cardboard packs do have advantages over both the soft-shell pack and the hard-shell cases, they have introduced a significant disadvantage over both, namely that of comfort.
  • Soft-shell packs whilst providing little protection for cigarettes, are comfortable to carry in garment pockets and, as mentioned above, hard-shell cases, if appropriately shaped, can also be comfortable.
  • known cardboard packs are shaped in order to maximise their structural integrity and, as a consequence, are often simply rectangular parallelepipeds, making them very uncomfortable for users.
  • these cardboard packs make them susceptible to deformation, particularly when the angles of the pack are constrained by a non-linear space, such as that defined by the inside pocket of a user's garment. Such deformation can result in a phenomenon known as “smiling”, where the flip-top lid of the pack sits slightly open with respect to the body of the pack, thereby preventing the pack from completely closing in its rest state. When carried in a garment, loose tobacco contained in the pack can find its way into the user's pocket through the aperture created by this “smiling” effect.
  • the present invention provides a cigarette pack which comprises:
  • the first and second fold lines are curved away from the centre of the front face such that the front face is concavely bowed in a lateral direction.
  • the pack further comprises:
  • the front face is concavely bowed in a longitudinal direction from a location substantially adjacent the top face to an area substantially adjacent the bottom face.
  • the box further comprises:
  • the pack further comprises:
  • the present invention also provides a blank for making the above cigarette pack.
  • the present invention also provides a cigarette pack which comprises:
  • the cigarette pack has a first concavely curved segment situated along the edge of the top face and the front face of the box, and a second concavely curved segment situated along the edge of the top face and the rear face of the box, the first and second concavely curved segments being arranged to cause the front face and the rear face to bow inwardly towards the top of the pack, respectively.
  • the concavely curved segments are of equal dimensions.
  • the cigarette pack further comprises:
  • the present invention also provides a blank for making the above cigarette pack.
  • the present invention provides several advantages over the prior art.
  • the bowed front face of the pack in accordance with the present invention will make the resulting pack more comfortable when being carried in a garment pocket.
  • the pack in accordance with the present invention comprises an inwardly bowed front face, when the lid is closed, it must be forced over the protrusion created by the bowing of the front face. This protrusion will then bias the lid in the closed position, thereby reducing the problem of a “smiling” lid.
  • the embodiment of the present invention which comprises curved front and rear folds on the top face of the lid also comprises recesses on the lid which soften its shape, thereby contributing to an increase in the comfort which a user feels when carrying the pack in his or her pocket.
