US 5,513,748 A · Pack, namely hinge-lid pack

Abstract

Pack, namely hinge-lid pack, made from thin cardboard, for cigarettes or other smoker's articles. Hinge-lid packs are conventionally constructed in such a way that a lid (14, 15) is pivotably connected to a pack part (12, 13). To increase the receiving capacity, a double pack consisting of two individual hinge-lid packs (10, 11) is formed from a common one-piece blank. This is designed in such a way that the double pack is folded on the cross-winding principle and thereafter two end regions are each provided with a lid (14, 15). The lids (14, 15) are to be opened in opposite directions. Within the double pack, the individual hinge-lid packs (10, 11) are separated from one another approximately centrally by means of bottom walls (34, 35). The bottom walls (34, 35) are parts (bottom tabs 67) of the collar (36, 37).
