Rigid pack for tabacco articles with lid and provided, at the bottom, with a pull-out container

Abstract

A rigid pack (1) for tobacco articles having: at least one wrap (3) of parallelepiped shape, which encloses a group of tobacco articles; a rigid container (2) whose inner volume is divided into a topchamber (17), which houses the wrap (3) and a bottom chamber (18) which is available; a rigid lid (8) hinged to the container (2); a rigid collar (14), which is folded in a U-shape, and is arranged inside the container (2); a drawer (23), which is arranged in the area of the bottom chamber (18), is cup-shaped and has a sliding opening by means of linear movement between a closed position in whichthe drawer (23) is completely arranged inside the container (2) and an open position in which the drawer (23) is partially pulled out of the container (2) and projects outwards from the container (2);and a limit stop device (29), which fulfils the function of stopping the outward movement of the drawer (23) from the container (2) in a maximum open position, namely of preventing the drawer (23) from being completely pulled out of the container (2) by setting a maximum limit for the pull-out movement of the drawer (23) from the container (2).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a rigid pack for tobacco products having a lid and being provided with a pull-out container at the bottom. [0002] The invention is advantageously applied to a rigid pack for a new generation of smokeless cigarettes (also called "HeatStick"), to which the following description will explicitly refer without loss of generality . Background technique [0003] A new generation of smokeless cigarettes (also known as "heat sticks") has recently been introduced on the market, which includes a cylinder made of real tobacco that is no longer subjected to direct combustion (that is, it is not burned, i.e. It is "ignited" by a flame) but heated by a resistor to create an aerosol that is inhaled by the smoker (thus producing neither smoke nor ash). Therefore, for smoking a new generation of heating stick cigarettes, an electronic device is used, which is equipped with a resistor and into which one end of a heating stick cigarett...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, market research has shown that consumers, while responding positively to the new generation of heat stick cigarettes, rarely appreciate the rigid packaging sold with the new generation of heat stick cigarettes because of their reduced height (compared to what smokers have seen for decades). different heights of traditional cigarette packs to which one is accustomed) makes these rigid packs more difficult to hold (especially when the cigarettes must be extracted by opening the lid)

For example, in a rigid package with a hinged lid housing a pack of new generation heater stick cigarettes in order to maintain the proper ratio between the lid and the underlying cup-shaped body (i.e. not make the cup-shaped body too small and therefore very difficult to grasp), It is necessary to reduce the size of the cover, which hinders the accessibility to the cigarette
