Reusable hard-pack cigarette case

摘要

A limited-life reusable hard pack for encasing a soft pack of cigarettes is disclosed. The reusable hard pack permits easy access to the cigarettes by the feature of a slideable interior wall 20 attached to a pivotable bottom wall which when moved relative to the exterior walls of the hard pack pushes the soft pack upward and beyond the top of the hard pack. An overhang on a top wall 50 extends across and beyond one side wall 25 to prevent the bottom wall from pivoting downward, beyond the bottom plane of the hard pack. The opposite side of the top wall leaves a gap through which cigarettes may be removed without opening the top closure. A tuck portion 60 is pivotably attached to the top wall. When the pack is closed, the tuck poriton lies inside and against the front wall 10 of the pack. One such hard pack is collapsed and inserted into a standard ten-pack carton.
