ROLLING BUNDLING MECHANISM FOR AUTOMATIC OPENING AND CLOSING

摘要

The present invention relates generally to a packaging assembly. More particularly the present invention relates to a packet for holding similar and/or dissimilar objects wherein said packet facilitates dispensing of objects when desired and reclosing to secure the said objects. It can be used in applications like a cigarette packet and like containers. This invention provides an advantageous feature of doubly securing the objects in the container.

主权项

1. A packet for holding similar and/or dissimilar objects wherein said packet facilitates dispensing of objects when desired and reclosing to secure the said objects, said packet comprising:
an outer container means defining a substantially rectangular box with its top side open to provide access to a closure means slidably secured inside the said container, said closure means having a lid means hingeably integrated to said closure means to pull-to-open the said closure means so as to substantially take out the closure means out of the said container and push-to-close action so as to secure the closure means inside the said container;an internal container holding the said objects and providing accessibility to the said objects from the top of the internal container, said container located in the said closure means so that movement of the said internal container corresponds to the sliding movement of the said closure;
a bundling sleeve means running around the said internal container and substantially vertically about the vertical axis of said internal container and placed intermediately between said internal container and the outer container wherein said sleeve means rolls corresponding to the pulling action of the said closure;wherein said bundling sleeve means defining plural panels whereby one of said panels comprising a cut out which during rolling action of the sleeve defining a dispensing site for the objects; and wherein said sleeve means comprising means to convert linear sliding motion of said internal container to rotational movement of the sleeve means;
wherein said internal container articulable with respect to said outer container keeping said sleeve means there between, and wherein said sleeve means configured to roll over on pulling said lid upwardly and substantially taking out the closure means with the internal container thereby revealing said cutout matching coextensively with said access opening of the internal container thus allowing the object to be dispensed and wherein relocating said lid means by push-to-close action back to its original position secure the said objects inside the internal container by relocating the cut out to its original position; wherein said means to convert linear sliding motion of said internal container to rotational movement of the sleeve means comprisinges a glued patch; and wherein said closure means has front side open so as to expose said glued patch to the inside surface of the outer container.
