Up-slide package and its blank set

The present invention relates to an up-slide package for housing products such as cigarettes and filter cigarettes, and a blank set thereof.

An example of this type of up-slide package and its blank set is disclosed in Patent Document 1 below. The up-slide package of Patent Document 1 includes an outer box having an open end at the top thereof, and an inner box accommodated in the outer box. The inner box has an inner box body and a hinge wire connected to the inner box body. And a hinge lid connected via the.

When the inner box, that is, the hinge lid thereof is protruded upward from the open end of the outer box, the hinge lid is rotated and opened around the hinge line. Therefore, the user can take out the product stored in the inner box without directly accessing the hinge lid.
In order to enable the opening operation of the hinge lid described above, this type of up-slide package further includes a lid opening device, and this lid opening device opens the hinge lid in conjunction with the protrusion of the inner box from the outer box.

Specifically, the lid opening device includes a lid flap, and the lid flap extends downward from the top wall of the hinge lid and enters between the outer box and the inner box, and has a folding line. This fold line extends across the lid flap in its width direction.

Generally, the above-mentioned engagement mechanism is formed at the front end of the lid flap, and is a locking tab that is folded toward the base of the lid flap, and a stopper flap that is disposed in the outer box and folded downward. When the hinge lid protrudes from the outer box, the additional value of the locking tab is engaged with the tip of the stopper flap, thereby restricting further protrusion of the lid flap.

When the inner box including the lid flap is formed from a single inner blank, the locking tab described above is formed by folding the lid flap, but the folding here complicates the folding of the inner blank.
Moreover, when the further protrusion of a lid flap is in the state controlled, three persons, a lid flap, a locking tab, and a stopper flap, overlap between an outer box and an inner box. For this reason, it is necessary to secure a gap allowing the above-described three-way overlap between the outer box and the inner box. Such a gap leads to an increase in the size of the outer box.

An object of the present invention is to provide an up-slide package and a blank set thereof in which the inner blank forming the inner box can be easily folded and the outer box can be prevented from being enlarged.

The above objective is accomplished by an upslide package of the present invention,

In combination, an insertion tab that restricts further protrusion of the lid flap,
When the lid flap is formed parallel to the hinge line, and the further projection of the lid flap is restricted, it extends across the width of the lid flap above the open end, allowing the lid flap to be folded. A first fold line.

According to the up-slide package of the present invention, when the inner box is further protruded from the outer box after the above-described further protrusion of the lid flap is restricted, the hinge lid rotates around the hinge line in conjunction with the protrusion. Move and open. At this time, the lid flap is bent along the first fold line to allow the hinge lid to rotate.

When the hinge lid is in a closed state, the first fold line is positioned below the hinge line. Therefore, when the hinge lid is protruded from the outer box until the further protrusion of the lid flap is restricted, the rotation of the hinge lid around the hinge line is not hindered by the lid flap, and the hinge lid can be opened smoothly. Operation is guaranteed.

The lid flap further includes a second fold line, which is positioned between the first fold line and the lower edge of the lid flap. In this case, a folding fold can be given to the lid flap along the second fold line. Such a folding fold facilitates insertion of the insertion tab within the opening.

The outer box further has an aperture that exposes a part of the inner box. For example, the aperture is arranged on the front wall of the outer box. In this case, the user can project the inner box from the outer box while pressing the thumb against the inner box through the aperture.

Also, the present invention provides a blank set for forming the above-described up-slide package, and the blank set includes an outer blank and an inner blank. The outer blank forms the outer box and the insertion tab of the opening device, and the inner blank forms the lid flap of the inner box and the opening device.

The upper slide package and the blank set thereof according to the present invention regulate the protrusion of the lid flap with a simple structure including an insertion tab inserted into the opening of the outer box while forming an opening in the lid flap of the inner box. be able to. Therefore, the inner blank forming the inner box can be easily folded. Also, since the insertion of the insertion tab into the opening does not require a large gap between the outer box and the inner box, an increase in the size of the outer box is avoided.
