Way of packing cigarettes

Abstract

The invention is to change the current way of packing cigarettes in a pack in order to improve and ease the way of pulling them out after opening the pack. Current way of packing cigarettes in a pack places the cigarettes on the same level what complicates pulling the first cigarettes out from the pack after its opening. It also makes the smokers touch many cigarettes in order to get only one of them, which makes the whole process unhygienic. The above-mentioned problem can be effectively solved by differentiating the level of the cigarettes packed in the pack. Cigarettes in the center of the pack are packed on a slightly higher level that the remaining cigarettes closer to the sides of the pack; however, the differentiating of the levels may be gained and applied to any other place in the box, not necessarily to the cigarettes in a center.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of PPA Ser. No. 60/962,099, filed Jul. 26, 2007 by the present inventor, which is incorporated by reference.

OPERATING

Current way of packing cigarettes in a pack is illustrated in FIG. 1 where all cigarettes (FIG. 1 element 1) are placed in a pack (FIG. 1 element 2) on the same level. New, proposed way of packing cigarettes in a pack is demonstrated in FIG. 2. Cigarettes are placed on differentiated levels in a pack; these in the center are higher than the remaining ones, whose levels gradually decrease as they are closer to the sides of the pack. The differentiated level of the cigarettes is achieved by the properly shaped insert which is installed inside the pack on its bottom wall (FIGS. 2 and 3). The insert in a frontal, interior view of the pack, as an example, has a shape of a triangle.
