Rigid swing-open packet of cigarettes with a self-opening hinged lid, and relative production method

摘要

A rigid, swing-open packet of cigarettes having: an inner package containing a group of cigarettes; an inner container housing the inner package and having a hinged lid; an outer container housing the inner container and having at least one open lateral end; a connecting hinge connecting the inner container and outer container to allow the inner container to rotate between a closed position and an open position; and a control tab connecting the lid to the outer container so that rotation of the inner container with respect to the outer container and about the connecting hinge produces a corresponding rotation of the lid about a lid hinge.

主权项

1. A rigid, swing-open packet (1) of cigarettes comprising:
an inner package (2) containing a wrapped group of cigarettes; an inner container (3), which houses the inner package (2) and has an open top end (5), and a lid (29) hinged to the inner container (3) by a lid hinge (30) to rotate with respect to the inner container (3) between an open position and a closed position opening and closing the open top end (5) respectively; an outer container (4) housing the inner container (3) and having at least one open lateral end (13); a connecting hinge (14) connecting the inner container (3) and outer container (4) to allow the inner container (3) to rotate between a closed position, in which the inner container (3) is inserted inside the outer container (4), and an open position, in which the inner container (3) is at least partly extracted from the outer container (4); and a control tab (34) connecting the lid (29) to the outer container (4) so that rotation of the inner container (3) with respect to the outer container (4) and about the connecting hinge (14) produces a corresponding rotation of the lid (29) about the lid hinge (30); wherein the control tab (34) has a top end (35) permanently connected to an inner face of a top wall (10) of the outer container (4); and a bottom end (36) opposite the top end (35) and permanently connected and glued to a top wall (31) of the lid (29) so that, when the inner container (3) is in the closed position inserted inside the outer container (4), the control tab (34) is folded up and is located entirely inside the outer container (4) and, when the inner container (3) is in the open position partly extracted from outer container (4), the control tab (34) is unfolded.
