Abstract
A hinged lid container for arrays of cigarettes is made of a one-piece blank and has a hollow body with an open end remote from its bottom wall, a collar which is integral with the front wall of the body at the open end and extends in part into the body, and a lid which is integral with the rear wall of the body. The collar has two lateral panels with rhomboidal portions extending beyond the respective sidewalls of the body. The free edges of the lateral panels are inclined with reference to the top wall of the lid when the latter is held in closed position so that its lateral walls abut the sidewalls of the body and are outwardly adjacent the rhomboidal portions of the lateral panels.
Claims14
A hinged lid container comprising a hollow parallelpiped body having an open end and including a bottom wall, a planar rear wall, a planar front wall and two sidewalls;
- a collar integral with one of said walls and disposed in part within and extending in part beyond the open end of said body, said collar having two elongated panels extending from said body beyond said sidewalls;
- and a lid integral with said rear wall and having two lateral walls each substantially coplanar with a different one of said sidewalls, said lid being pivotable relative to said body between a closed position in which said lateral walls abut the respective sidewalls and are outwardly adjacent the corresponding lateral panels and an open position in which said open end is accessible, each of said lateral panels having a single elongated edge remote from the respective sidewall, making an acute angle with the plane of said rear wall and making an obtuse angle with the plane of said front wall, thereby sloping upwardly from front to rear of the container.
An elongated one-piece blank for conversion into a hinged lid container having a hollow body, a collar and a lid, said blank having two elongated parallel marginal portions and comprising an elongated main section convertible into the body of the container, a second section convertible into the lid and disposed at one end of said main section, and a third section convertible into the collar and disposed at the other end of said main section, said blank further having first and second elongated fold lines parallel with and respectively adjacent said first and second marginal portions, said third section having mutually inclined first and second edges one of which extends all the way between said first marginal portion and said first fold line and the other of which extends all the way between said second marginal portion and said second fold line, said edges being formed at one end of the blank, said edges making acute angles with the respective marginal portions and sloping toward said main section in directions from the respective marginal portions toward the respective fold lines.
