DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In accordance with an embodiment, hinge-lid cigarette containers include an upper lid portion of the container, which is hinged to the top of the back panel of the lower box portion thereof along a transverse hinge line. Cigarettes stand in the lower box portion of the upright container with their longitudinal axes parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container. When the consumer opens the container, by pivoting the front of the lid portion up and to the rear, the upper ends of the cigarettes standing in the lower box portion are exposed. In the closed position, the front panel, back panel and side panels of the upper lid portion of the hinge-lid container form vertical extensions of the corresponding panels of the lower box portion thereof.
It can be appreciated that in accordance with another embodiment, it would be desirable to have a side opening hard pack (or box), which can be used as a decorative method of packaging multiple foil packs in a single sellable unit. It can be appreciated that in accordance with an embodiment, the design of the hard pack (or box) can provide a premium feel and familiarity to the cigarette style hard packs. In addition, the pack (or box) can be configured to hold multiple foil packs, which are designed to contain a snus product, and which contains them in a single package. The foil packs can either be of the same or assorted flavors. Although, the overall pack size and hinge design is similar to the king size hard pack, the pack can be changed in thickness to contain one or more foil packs. In addition, the hinged opening is on the side of the box (or pack), i.e., a side opening box. It can be appreciated that in accordance with an exemplary embodiment, the design of the pack or box is such that modified cigarette packers can be used for the production.
FIG. 1 shows a side opening hard pack 100 (or outer box), which includes a box portion 1 10, and a hinged lid portion 120 having a hinge 130 extending across a back panel 150, so that the lid portion 120 is rotatable from a closed position to an opened position at an angle relative to said front panel 152, 162. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, the hinge 130 extends across the back panel 150, 160 in a latitudinal direction (i.e., width 132) having a greater length than in a longitudinal direction (i.e., height 134), such that the box 100 is a side opening box when opened in an upright position instead of the more traditional front opening box.
The hard pack (or outer box 1 10) is preferably comprised of a box portion 1 10 and a hinged lid 120, wherein the hinged lid 120 pivots relative to the box portion 1 10, permitting the pack to be opened and reclosed. As shown in FIG. 1 , the hinged lid 120 connects to the box
portion 110 along an axis of articulation, which is along an edge or fold line (i.e., hinge line 130) of a back panels 150, 160 of the box 100. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, the box 100 has a width of approximately 80 mm to 90 mm and a height of approximately 50 mm to 60 mm. The box portion 1 10 also can include an inner frame 300, 500 (FIGS. 3 and 5), which is uncovered upon articulation of the hinged lid 120 about the fold or hinge line 130.
In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, the box 100 has a width 132 and a height 134, and wherein the width 132 is greater than the height 134 of the box 100. As shown in FIG. 1 , a separation line 40 separates the box portion 1 10 from the hinged lid (or hinged lid portion) 120. In a preferred embodiment, the length of the separation line 140, which is equal to the width 132 of the box 100 is greater than the height 134 of the box 100, such that the hinged lid (or hinged lid portion) 120 is a side opening box as compared to a standard hinged lid box (i.e., king size hard pack) having a height of approximately 85 mm and a width of approximately 55 mm.
In accordance with an embodiment, the box 100 is configured to receive at least one rectangular package and/or container, or snus foil package, such as those disclosed in commonly owned U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20090000968. When the consumer opens the container, by pivoting the lid portion 120, the foil pack in the box portion 1 10 is exposed. In the closed position, the front panel 162, back panel 160 and side panels 164, 166 of the lid portion 120 of the hinge-lid container form vertical extensions of the corresponding panels, 160, 162, 164, 166 of the box portion 1 10 thereof.
