Cigarette hardpack having rounded corners and lid retaining flaps

摘要

A cigarette pack includes a pack portion and a lid portion hinged thereto, and an inner frame disposed within the pack portion and projecting upwardly beyond an upper end of the pack portion. The vertical corners of the cigarette pack are smoothly rounded. Front rounded corners of the inner frame are formed with integral retention flaps which project laterally outwardly so as to bear frictionally against the sidewalls of the lid portion when the lid portion is in a closed state. Each sidewall of the lid portion includes inner and outer panels. The inner panel includes a front edge located behind the respective retention flap so as to avoid making contact therewith when the lid is pivoted between open and closed states.
