Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging boxes, specifically a self-opening cigarette box with a hollowed-out front and a single finger-point push mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Most ordinary cigarette packs on the market are standard GDX2 (hard pack) or GDX1 (soft pack) boxes, with the cigarettes opened by flipping the top cover from the front. This method is simple and fixed, lacking variety and failing to meet personalized needs. In addition, this flip-top opening method requires openings on the front and sides of the cigarette box, which to some extent disrupts the integrity of the front, sides, and back of the box. As a result, when designing the outer surface pattern, the size of the pattern is limited because the openings need to be considered, thus affecting the aesthetics of the outer packaging pattern.

Detailed Implementation

[0042] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] See Figure 1-8 This novel cigarette box features a front-opening, single-finger push-to-open design, comprising an outer box body 1. The front of the outer box body 1 has a perforated structure 101 for a finger to pass through. After the outer box body 1 is formed, an opening 4 is formed on the opposite side of its front. An inner box body 3 is attached to the bottom of the outer box body 1 via an inner box connecting plate 309. After the inner box body 3 is formed, an inner box opening 5 is formed on its top. A spring clip 2 is attached between the mating surfaces of the outer box body 1 and the inner box body 3. This novel cigarette box adopts a front-opening, single-finger push-to-open design, breaking away from traditional opening methods and offering a fashionable way to open and take out cigarettes. Furthermore, the front-opening, single-finger push-to-open design ensures that the front and back are a single, complete surface, maintaining packaging integrity, increasing the area for design patterns, and facilitating the addition of innovative elements, creating a new design concept for complete front and back packaging. During use, after the outer box 1 is formed, cigarettes are placed into the inner box 3, and then the inner box 3 is closed and placed inside the outer box 1. When it needs to be opened, simply put your finger through the hollow structure 101 and push the inner box 3. Under the elastic force of the spring piece 2, a certain elastic force will be applied to the inner box 3, thereby opening the inner box 3. At this time, the inner box opening 5 will be exposed, and then the cigarettes inside can be taken out through the inner box opening 5.

[0044] Furthermore, the outer box 1 includes a main outer box 102 located on the front. A hollow structure 101 is formed in the middle portion near the top of the main outer box 102. Side outer box panels 103 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the long side of the main outer box 102, and the other side of the side outer box panels 103 is connected to the inner outer box panel 104 via a fold line. A bottom outer box 106 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the narrow side of the main outer box 102, and the other side of the bottom outer box 106 is connected to the inner outer box panel 107 via a fold line. Connecting outer box plates 105 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the short side of the side outer box panels 103. By using the aforementioned outer box 1, an outer box can be formed, thereby protecting the inner box 3 inside. The hollow structure 101 facilitates the opening of the inner box 3 by allowing fingers to pass through and push it open. After being formed, the outer box 1 creates an outer box opening 4, facilitating the opening of the inner box 3.

[0045] Furthermore, the outer box connecting plate 105 is provided with a first bonding area 108, on which adhesive is applied and used to bond with the outer box bottom plate 106. The above-described bonding molding process simplifies the molding process.

[0046] Further, the inner box body 3 includes an inner box outer panel 305, a first inner box side panel 306 is provided on one side of the inner box outer panel 305, and an inner box inner panel 302 is connected to the other side of the inner box outer panel 305 through a second inner box side panel 304. An inner box side panel connecting plate 303 is provided on the other side of the inner box inner panel 302. An arc-shaped notch 301 is provided at the middle of the top of the inner box inner panel 302, and an inner box inner bottom plate 311 is provided at the bottom of the inner box inner panel 302. An inner box connecting bottom plate 309 is provided at the bottom of the inner box outer panel 305. A first inner box bottom plate connecting plate 308 is provided at the bottom of the first inner box side panel 306. A second inner box bottom plate connecting plate 310 is provided at the bottom of the second inner box side panel 304. The first inner box bottom plate connecting plate 308 and the second inner box bottom plate connecting plate 310 are bonded to the inner box inner bottom plate 311 to form the inner box inner bottom plate. The inner box 3 described above facilitates the formation of a cigarette box inner box with an outer box opening 4, thereby packaging the cigarettes. The arc-shaped notch 301 described above facilitates the exposure of the cigarette tip, making it easier to remove the cigarette.

[0047] The inner box connecting base plate 309 facilitates the bonding of the inner box 3 to the inside of the outer box 1 and ensures that the inner box 3 can rotate around the folded edge of the inner box connecting base plate 309, thereby realizing opening or closing.

[0048] Furthermore, a second bonding area 307 is provided on the inner box side panel connecting plate 303, the first inner box bottom panel connecting plate 308, and the second inner box bottom panel connecting plate 310, and adhesive is applied to the second bonding area 307. The above-described bonding molding simplifies the molding process.

[0049] Furthermore, the spring clip 2 includes a first spring clip adhesive plate 201. A movable plate 204 is connected to the other side of the first spring clip adhesive plate 201 via a first folded edge 203. A U-shaped adhesive plate 206 is connected to the other side of the movable plate 204 via a second folded edge 205. The movable plate 204 and the U-shaped adhesive plate 206 form a rectangular opening area 202. The aforementioned spring clip 2 facilitates the connection between the outer box 1 and the inner box 3. On the one hand, it ensures that the inner box 3 can provide a certain amount of elasticity during the initial opening stage, allowing the inner box 3 to spring open instantly, improving the ease of opening. On the other hand, it can limit the size of the opening between the inner box 3 and the outer box 1 to a certain extent.

[0050] The initial elasticity provided by spring 2 optimizes the feel of opening the inner box, enhancing its playability.

[0051] Furthermore, the U-shaped adhesive plate 206 is connected to the U-shaped adhesive area 109 on the inner wall of the outer box main plate 102 by adhesive; the first spring adhesive plate 201 is connected to the rectangular adhesive area 312 on the inner wall of the inner box inner plate 302 by adhesive. Through the above connection method, it can be ensured that the spring 2 is synchronously connected to the inner box body 3 and the outer box body 1.

[0052] Furthermore, the outer box 1, the spring 2, and the inner box 3 are all made of ordinary white cardboard.

[0053] Specific usage method of this utility model:

[0054] During use, cigarettes are placed into the inner box 3, and then the inner box 3 is closed and placed inside the outer box 1.

[0055] When it is necessary to open, simply pass your finger through the hollow structure 101 and push the inner box 3. Under the elastic force of the spring piece 2, a certain elastic force will be applied to the inner box 3, thereby opening the inner box 3 and exposing the inner box opening 5. Then, you can take out the cigarettes inside through the inner box opening 5.
