Benefits of technology

[0028]Preferably, each side wall of the container is formed from an inner wall and an overlying outer wall. The line of abutment extending along the inner wall between point A and point B may be different to, or the same as the line of abutment extending along the outer wall. Preferably, the line of abutment extending along the inner wall between point A and point B is the same shape as the line of abutment extending along the outer wall, but is vertically offset therefrom. A vertical offset may, advantageously, be employed to strengthen the rear wall of the box portion and the front wall of the lid portion.

Embodiment Construction

[0045]The hinge lid container 10 shown in FIG. 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped and comprises a lower box portion 12 and an upper lid portion 14 that is hinged to the lower box portion 12 along a hinge fine extending substantially horizontally along the rear wall of the container. The level of the hinge line is indicated in FIG. 1 at point “A”.

[0046]The box portion 12 has a front wall 16, a left side wall 18, a right side wall, a rear wall, and a bottom wall. The rear wall of the box portion 12 extends above the side walls thereof so that the upper edge of the rear wall is offset from the upper free edges of the side walls. The upper edge of the rear wall of the box portion is defined by the hinge line.

[0047]The lid portion 14 has a front wall 16a, a left side wall 18a, a right side wall, a rear wall and an upper wall. The side walls 18a of the lid portion extend beyond the rear wall thereof so that the lower free edge of each side wall is offset from the lower edge of the rear wal...

Abstract

A hinge lid container for smoking articles having a front wall, a rear wall and opposed side walls extending therebetween comprises: a box portion; and a lid portion hinged to the box portion along a hinge line extending across a rear wall of the container. At each side wall of the container, the angle □ between the front edge of the side wall of the lid portion and the lower edge thereof is greater than the angle □ defined between the rear edge of the side wall and a straight line extending between a first point (A) where the hinge line meets the side wall and a second point (B) where the upper edge of a front wall of the box portion meets the side wall.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to European Application No. 08250259.2, filed Jan. 21, 2008, the entire content of which is hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]The present invention relates to a novel hinge lid container, which finds particular application as a container for elongate smoking articles such as cigarettes.[0003]It is known to package elongate smoking articles and other consumer goods in containers formed from folded laminar blanks. Elongate smoking articles, such as cigarettes and cigars, are commonly sold in hinge lid packs having a box portion for housing the smoking articles and a lid portion connected to the box portion about a hinge line extending across the rear wall of the container. Such packs are typically constructed from one-piece laminar cardboard blanks. In use, the lid portion is pivoted about the hinge line to open the pack and so gain access to the smoking a...
