Abstract

The foldable packaging for matches consists of a rectangle shape multiply-folded thick paper, cardboard or other material. It has several surface folds and a striking surface placed inside the packaging. Particular fold surfaces form a pocket where matches are held in a single row. Outside, these surfaces have a fixing strip. Surface folds provide space inside the pocket to press matches so that they do not fall out of the packaging. The surfaces folds also ensure a space between the surfaces that form the pocket so that matches cannot catch fire when they are taken out of the packaging without particular pressure on the pressing areas located on both sides of the striking surface attached near the opening of the pocket. The cover of the packaging is made of another surface fold of the same rectangle piece. A version with two pockets is also described - the pockets are separated by a partitioning made of surfaces folds. The striking surfaces are found on both sides of the partitioning near the openings of the pockets between the pressingareas.<IMAGE>

Description

BACKGROUND PACKAGE

The invention relates to smoking accessories, in particular to folding pack matches.

Foldable souvenir disposable match packs in which flat cardboard matches with their non-combustible ends are attached to the ignition strip are well known. The disadvantage of these packages is that they often become unusable in humid weather due to the wetting of both the ignition bar and the match heads. For ordinary matchboxes, the ignition bar often becomes unusable due to moisture.

EP 0 086 758 and EP 553 591 describe match boxes where the matches can be made one at a time while being lit. The ignition bar is located inside the box. Known boxes have relatively complicated costumes and are also dangerous because they always flare up when a match is made.

WO 82/03973 (PCT / BE82 / 00010) discloses a method and apparatus for the separate placement of matches in folding packages divided into elongated compartments in which a match is placed in each. The compartments are closed at one end and open at the opposite end, with the match head positioned at the closed end and the opposite end of the match coming out of the open end to allow the match to be pulled out of the compartment. The matches are first placed in a flat inner frame containing rectangular cases for the matches such that they are arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction and separated by dividing walls. Near the open end of the match compartment is a bump with a firing strip on it, which ensures that the match is ignited when pulled out of the package.

The disadvantages of the known match packaging are its complexity, which makes production more expensive, and fire safety - for example, if such a pack gets in the way of a child, the match-guaranteed ignition can cause a fire.

The object of the invention is to simplify the packaging and, consequently, to reduce its price and, in particular, to increase fire safety.

There is a foldable match box, which consists of a folded, thick piece of paper, cardboard or other material with multiple folds and a firing strip located inside the box. Certain fold surfaces form a pocket for matches, which is covered from the outside by a fixing tape. The folded surfaces inside the pocket form a spring that first presses the matches to prevent them from falling out of the package, and secondly ensures that the pocket-forming surfaces are in a distant position preventing the match from igniting except for the non-pressed compression areas a ignition strap attached to the open end of the pocket. The cover of the package shall also be formed by other fold surfaces of the same rectangular piece. The folds are designed so that the lid easily catches behind the pocket-forming fold surface, thereby releasing the package closure. The matches in such a pack are placed in one line tightly against each other.

There is also a packaging option in which there are two pockets for the matches, which are divided by a partition formed from the fold surfaces. On both sides of the aforementioned partition, there are match-firing bands near the open ends of the pockets, between the pressing zones.

The fold surface dimensions are chosen so that one of the pockets is deeper than the other of the match head. The relatively loose fitting of the folding with the help of a locking tape that covers the outside pockets also ensures that the match is not ignited by pulling it out of the pack without pressing it into the pressure zones.

The invention is explained by drawings, wherein:

FIG. 1 shows a cross-section of an open pack with one pocket, without matches,

FIG. 2 shows a cross-section of a sealed package with one pocket, a match,

FIG. Figure 3 shows a closed package with one pocket in perspective,.

FIG. Figure 4 shows a cross-section of a closed package with two pockets, with matches.

The embodiments of the invention are described below with reference to the positions of the drawings.

Folding box for matches consists of a multi-folded rectangular piece of paper, cardboard or other material with multiple folds. A portion of the longest fold surface 5, followed by the fold surface 4a, the length of which corresponds to the thickness of a standard match head, and the subsequent fold surface 3, which is at least 1/3 of the fold surface 5, form a pocket 7 for insertion. The fold surface 3 is followed by a fold surface 2 which is folded inside the pocket 7 towards its closed end formed by surface 4a, and a fold surface 2 is followed by a fold surface 1 which is folded in the opposite direction away from said closed end of the pocket. The hinged surfaces 2 and 1 together act as a spring for holding the matches and to ensure parallelism of the pocket 7 forming surfaces 3 and 5 and thereby preventing the match from igniting except for the non-pressed packaging compression zones 8a and 8b, between which A match-firing strip 9 is affixed to the open end of the pocket on the inside of the pocket. The outer surfaces 3 and 5 of the pocket 7 are covered on the outside by a tape of paper or other material almost the entire height of the pocket.

The remainder of the longest fold surface 5, the subsequent fold surface 4b having a length corresponding to the thickness of the match, and the subsequent fold surface 6 form a package cap which covers the opposite ends of the match heads. The length of the surface 6 is selected such that its free end, when sealing the package, is easily trapped behind the surface 3 in the transition area 2. The hinged surface 1, which acts as a spring and protective barrier, may be periodically slit (two matches wide). , if the matches do not have the same heads and the same thickness, the thinnest would not fall out, and second, to more effectively fulfill the function of the protective barrier.

In another embodiment of the foldable package, the rectangular piece of material is folded in such a way that two pockets for match-ins are formed. The folding surface 10, the subsequent folding surface 11, and the subsequent folding surface 12 having a length corresponding to the thickness of a standard match head, and the subsequent folding surface 13 form a first pocket 21 for inserting the matches. The folding surface 14 following the fold surface 13, folded outwardly and toward the match heads, the subsequent fold surface 15 having a length corresponding to the thickness of the two match heads divides the longest fold surface 16 and the outside of said fold surface 11 forms a second pocket 22 for insertion. The outside surfaces 14 and 16 forming the pockets 22 are covered with a band of paper or other material on the outside almost the entire height of the pocket, thereby closing the pockets from the sides. The remainder of the longest fold surface 16, the subsequent fold surface 17, which is slightly shorter than the fold surface 15, and the subsequent fold surface 18, form a package cap which covers the opposite ends of the match heads. The length of the surface 18 is chosen such that its free end, when sealing the package, is easily trapped behind the surface 13 on the transition site 14. The folding surfaces 10 and 11 together form a partition between the rows of matches. The second pocket 22 is formed so that it is deeper than the first pocket 21 of the head of the match head. The said partition formed by the fold surfaces 10 and 11 is fitted on both sides of the open end of the pocket between the pressure zones 20a and 20b. lanes 19a and 19b. Also, the design of this package ensures that the match will only catch fire when pulled out when it is pressed into the press areas.

The outside of the package can be in a variety of decorative designs, so it is very convenient to make such matches as souvenir matches, hotels and the like.

Foldable packaging works as follows. Take the sachet in the palm of the first hand so that the longest folding surface is 5 (16) beds on four fingers, but the thumb holds it against the folding surface 3 (14), covering the match pocket (s). With the other hand, use four fingers to gently insert the hinged surface 5 (16) while simultaneously opening the cover with your thumb, releasing the free end of the hinged surface 6 (18) from the top of the pocket. With the other hand, grab the selected (preferably edge) match at the end and pull it. At the same time with the thumb of the first hand and the opposite finger, press on the respective pressing areas 8a and 8b (20a and 20b). The match is on fire. Press so that there is sufficient friction to match the head of the match, but not stronger, otherwise the pull rate will be reduced.

According to the invention, the packaging of the matches is very simple, so its production does not require any great expense either. Such packaging is highly flame-retardant as it requires some skill on the part of the user. In any case, young children will not be able to easily get a burning match from this pack.
