Cigarette carton

A container for cigarettes comprising:

• a casing member formed from a folded blank having first and second side walls, an end wall extending between said side walls, an open end opposed to said end wall,
• an upper wall extending between upper ends of said side walls formed by inner and outer flaps folded in overlapping relationship;
• a lower wall extending between lower ends of said side walls formed by inner and outer flaps folded in overlapping relationship;
• a rectangular, tubular drawer member formed from a folded blank, said drawer member having first and second opposed side walls, and first and second opposed end walls extending between said side walls,
• an access slot defined between said second end wall and said side walls, adjacent said second end wall,
• said casing member being adapted to slidably receive said draw member through said open end, and said casing end wall being adapted to engage said first end wall of said drawer member to limit inward sliding movement of said drawer member into said casing member,
• a cut-out defined in the inner flaps of the upper and lower walls of said casing member, said cutouts defining with said outer flaps first and second shallow recesses in said upper and lower walls, said recesses extending in opposed relationship from said casing member end wall and terminating in first and second stop edges, defined by cut-out edges of said inner flaps, said stop edges being disposed inwardly of said open end,
• said first and second shallow recesses having first and second recess slide edges respectively defined by cut-out edges of said inner flaps,
• first and second drawer tabs spaced from said drawer member second end wall, extending inwardly in opposed relationship from upper and lower ends of said drawer member, said tabs having tab slide edges and tab leading edges,
• said first and second tabs being slidably contained within said first and second recesses respectively, with said tab slide edges in sliding engagement with said recess slide edges,
• such that in a closed configuration of the container said first and second leading edges are spaced apart from said first and second stop edges respectively, and said access slot of said drawer member is concealed within said casing,
• said first and second tabs being slidable within said first and second recesses respectively, from said closed configuration to an open configuration in which said first and second leading edges engage said first and second stop edges, respectively, whereby said drawer member projects out of said open end of said casing member and said access slot of said drawer member adjacent said second end wall is revealed.
