Embodiment Construction

[0038] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] figure 1 An embodiment of a container 1 for consumer goods 5, such as cigarettes 5, is shown. The other consumables 5 may eg be tobacco products or tobacco substitute products which may be heated for providing vapor instead of smoke, eg so-called "heat not burn" consumables. The dimensions of the container 1 include a height of about 70mm to 120mm, a width of about 40mm to 72mm and a thickness of about 16mm to 25.5mm. The container 1 has a generally cuboid shape. The container 1 comprises an outer shell 10 with a box body portion 17 and a hinged flap portion 13 for opening and closing the container 1 , an inner frame 30 with a foldable portion 40 , and an inner liner 20 wrapping around the consumer product 5 . Typically, the container 1 is additionally wrapped in a plastic foil (not shown) as an integral seal and for further protection.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a container (1) for consumer goods (5) comprising an outer housing (10) comprising a box portion (17) having a top opening closable by a lid portion (13), the box portion (17) comprising a front wall (12) and a back wall (16) connected to each other by a bottom wall (15) opposite the top opening and two side walls (14, 18), and the lid portion (13) comprising a front panel (13') connected to a back panel (13"") by a top wall (11) and opposite side panels (13'"), the lid portion (13) being hingedly attached to the box portion (17) at a hinge line between their respective back panel (13"") and back wall (16); and an inner frame (30) arranged within the outer housing (10) and comprising a front panel (32) and two side panels (34, 36), wherein the front panel (32) is glued to an inner surface of the front wall (12) of the box portion (17) of the outer housing (10) and the two side panels (34, 36) are glued to respective side walls (14, 18) of the box portion (17) of the outer housing (10); wherein the inner frame (30) comprises at least one horizontal cut (38) across part of the front panel (32) and part of one of the side panels (34), and at least a first (31), a second (33) and a third (35) folding lines extending vertically and parallel to each other from the at least one horizontal cut (38) to an upper edge of the inner frame (30) for defining at least one foldable portion (40) which can be folded to the inside of the container (1) for selectively limiting the space within the container (1); and the horizontal cut (38) being positioned, in un-folded condition of the inner frame (30) at or below an upper edge of the front wall (12) of the box portion (17). The present invention further relates to a corresponding inner frame (30).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a container for consumer goods and an internal frame for such a container. The container is particularly suitable for storing tobacco products such as cigarettes. Background technique [0002] Fragile items such as cigarettes are often packaged and placed on the market in small containers to protect the goods during transport. Such containers may be made from renewable raw materials such as cardboard and often comprise multiple parts. Typically, the softer, odorless and tasteless inner liner stores the consumer product directly, while the harder outer shell forms the container and protects the product from environmental conditions as well as external impacts. In some cases, the housing includes a hinged flap for closing and opening the container. The container is additionally wrapped in a clear plastic foil for further protection and as an integral seal. [0003] Furthermore, the container for consumer goods additionally co...
