Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cigarette box, and more particularly to a cigarette box with a friction-based aroma release function. Background Technology

[0002] Microencapsulation technology is a technique that encapsulates tiny particles or molecules within polymer materials to form microcapsules. Specifically, it involves completely encapsulating a solid, liquid, or gas (called the core material) with a natural or synthetic polymer material (called the wall material) to form microcapsules with diameters typically ranging from 1 to 500 micrometers and wall thicknesses from 0.5 to 150 micrometers.

[0003] Currently, cigarette packaging on the market is diverse. To enhance user experience and increase product appeal, the additional functions of cigarette packaging are gradually gaining importance. Aroma, as a sensory stimulus, can effectively enhance the sensory enjoyment of a product. Existing cigarette packaging primarily releases aroma through methods such as flavor capsules, flavoring threads, flavoring granules, and flavored cigarette paper, mainly focusing on the cigarette itself; there is no precedent for releasing aroma through the cigarette box. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cigarette case with a friction-based aroma release function to solve the technical problems in the prior art. It provides an aroma release area on the cigarette case, and the cigarette can be quickly imbued with an external aroma by rubbing the aroma release area with the cigarette.

[0005] This utility model provides a cigarette box with a friction-based aroma release function, including a cigarette box body, the cigarette box body including a lid and a box body, the top of the lid is provided with an aroma release area, and the aroma release area has an aroma release layer.

[0006] In the aforementioned cigarette box with friction-based aroma release function, preferably, the aroma release area is a rectangular recessed structure.

[0007] In the aforementioned cigarette box with friction-based aroma release function, preferably, the aroma release layer is formed by curing ink containing aroma-carrying microcapsules applied to the aroma release area.

[0008] In the aforementioned cigarette box with friction-based aroma release function, preferably, the aroma release area is covered with an easy-pull paper strip, the size of which is larger than the size of the aroma release area.

[0009] In the aforementioned cigarette box with friction-based aroma release function, preferably, one wide side of the easy-pull paper strip is fixedly connected to the box lid, and the two long sides and the other wide side of the easy-pull paper strip are connected to the box lid through a segmented perforated strip.

[0010] In the aforementioned cigarette box with friction-based aroma release function, preferably, a pull tab is formed on the easy-pull paper strip.

[0011] In the aforementioned cigarette box with friction-based aroma release function, preferably, the reverse side of the easy-pull paper strip is coated with an adhesive on an area larger than the aroma release area.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this invention features an aroma-releasing area on the lid and an aroma-releasing layer within that area. Users can rub the cigarette against the aroma-releasing layer to impart a special aroma. This invention has a simpler structure, is easier to use, and has lower manufacturing costs.

[0016] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0017] Embodiments of this utility model: such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a cigarette case with a friction-based aroma release function includes a cigarette case body 1. The cigarette case body 1 includes a lid 2 and a case body 3. The top of the lid 2 is provided with an aroma release area 4, and the aroma release area 4 has an aroma release layer.

[0018] In this embodiment, both the lid 2 and the body 3 are made of transfer cardboard with a thickness of 0.2mm-0.4mm, preferably 0.3mm.

[0019] The aroma release area 4 is located on the top of the lid 2. The aroma release area 4 is a rectangular recessed structure with a depth of 0.1mm-0.3mm. In this embodiment, it is preferably 0.15mm.

[0020] The fragrance-releasing layer is formed by curing ink 5 containing fragrance-carrying microcapsules 6 applied to the fragrance-releasing area 4.

[0021] Ink 5 is a cigarette ink. Both ink 5 and the aroma-carrying microcapsules 6 are existing products that can be purchased directly. After the ink 5 containing the aroma-carrying microcapsules 6 is applied to the aroma-releasing area 4, it is cured by ultraviolet light to form an aroma-releasing layer. The viscosity of ink 5 is 1.5 Pa·s to 2.5 Pa·s. The diameter of the aroma-carrying microcapsules 6 is 2 μm to 3.5 μm. They are composed of a core material and a shell layer that encapsulates the core material. The core material encapsulates the aroma substance and solvent. The aroma substance can be apple, blueberry, orange, mint, coffee, etc. The solvent is generally propylene glycol. The shell layer is made of amino resin and curing agent, and its thickness is 1 μm to 1.6 μm.

[0022] To protect the fragrance-releasing layer, it is preferable to cover the fragrance-releasing area 4 with a pull-tab paper strip 7. The size of the pull-tab paper strip 7 is slightly larger than the size of the fragrance-releasing area 4, and the pull-tab paper strip 7 is used to cover the fragrance-releasing layer. The material of the pull-tab paper strip 7 is the same as that of the box lid 2, and the thickness of the pull-tab paper strip 7 is preferably 0.15mm.

[0023] The left wide edge of the pull paper tape 7 is fixedly connected to the box cover 2, and the two long edges and the right wide edge of the pull paper tape 7 are connected to the box cover 2 through a segmented perforated tape so that the pull paper tape 7 can be easily torn open when used for the first time.

[0024] An arc-shaped pull tab 8 is formed on the wide right side of the pull strip 7 to facilitate pulling open the pull strip 7. The reverse side of the pull strip 7, covering an area larger than the fragrance release area 4, is coated with self-adhesive adhesive 9. The self-adhesive adhesive 9 is an environmentally friendly and harmless adhesive, a commercially available product that can be purchased directly.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, pull open the easy-open paper strip 7 by pulling the pull head 8, rub the aroma-releasing layer on the aroma-releasing area 4 with the cigarette paper part of the cigarette, or rub the aroma-releasing layer on the aroma-releasing area 4 with your fingers and then touch the cigarette paper part of the cigarette. This can impart a special external aroma to the cigarette, increase the smoking taste and smoking pleasure. Consumers can control the amount of external aroma of the cigarette by rubbing according to their personal preferences. After rubbing, put the easy-open paper strip 7 back on the aroma-releasing area 4. Since the back of the easy-open paper strip 7 has a self-adhesive adhesive 9, the easy-open paper strip 7 will not automatically peel off after being pasted. The easy-open paper strip 7 can reduce the volatilization of the aroma substances in the aroma-releasing area 4, so that it can be used again next time.

[0026] The above description, based on the embodiments shown in the drawings, details the structure, features, and effects of this utility model. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the scope of implementation of this utility model is not limited to what is shown in the drawings. Any changes made in accordance with the concept of this utility model, or modifications to equivalent embodiments, that do not exceed the spirit covered by the specification and drawings, shall be within the protection scope of this utility model.
