Abstract: A holder for a cigarette pack and a lighter. The holder includes two compartments and has an open top. The holder is integrally formed as a one piece, five-sided plastic box. A partition is integrally joined with three sides and separates the compartments. Within the lighter compartment is inserted a depth adjusting block which adjusts the height of the lighter. A different embodiment is made with a lighter compartment which is formed shallower than compartment for the cigarette pack.

Abstract: A closure and lighter holder for a pack of cigarettes and a lighter includes a first strip having a stop and a band for retaining a lighter, and a second strip for insertion through the top folds and sealing strip of a pack of cigarettes. The strip for closing the pack of cigarettes and the strip for holding the lighter are pivotally connected.

Abstract: Shoulder boxes (11) consist of box part (12) for receiving a group of cigarettes (10) and an articulated hinged lid (14). To achieve better aroma and moisture retention, the group of cigarettes (10) is wrapped in an inner wrapping (15) which, for the extraction of cigarettes, has in the region of a continuously closed upper wall (18) a tear-open thread (35) or a tear-open strip (36). In this way, easy access to the cigarettes (10) is possible.

Abstract: A container is disclosed, having a substantially V-shaped creasing pattern on the bottom end wall portion to promote an inward bending of the bottom end wall to improve the stability of the container. The container has a V-shaped crease line on the bottom end wall of the container, the apex of the "V" pointing generally away from the center of the bottom end wall.

Abstract: Films comprising alpha-olefin polymers, such as polypropylene consisting essentially of recurring propylene units and having a substantial crystalline polypropylene content, and in particular isotactic polypropylene, are rendered poorly adhesive to the welding bars of automatic and semi-automatic machines conventionally used for the manufacture of containers, envelopes, bags, vessels and, in general, other manufactured articles useful in the packaging industry, by coating the films by a mixture of a copolymer of a vinyl ester with an unsaturated acid, a terpolymer of an alkyl acrylate, an alkyl-methacrylate and an unsaturated acid and a cross-linking amine.

Abstract: In the production of soft packs for receiving cigarettes or the like it is important, where possible, to save material, while maintaining the functional characteristics of the pack, on the one hand, and its external appearance. For this reason, the proposed (soft) pack consists of a single one-piece blank made especially of paper or the like. By special folding in the region where the pack envelope merges into the end wall, an offset or a step with an upper edge rim is formed here, and this gives the external impression of a conventional cup pack and moreover imparts increased dimensional stability to the pack.

Abstract: A box-shaped decorative dispensing container comprises a sleeve, a drawer within the sleeve, and a decorative external case on the outside of the sleeve. The drawer can easily slide out of the case, while the sleeve is restricted from sliding out of the case.

Abstract: A novelty for use at a party, and which serves as a nameplate and favor; the novelty including a piece of mesh fabric in which a small quantity of nuts or candy are wrapped, and the fabric is then tied closed by a bow of rick-rack tape which also wraps around a handle of a cardboard model of an umbrella on which a person's name or a greeting is written.

Abstract: A cigarette package closure comprising a frame and a one-piece cover of self-hinging plastic material mounted on the frame. The cover includes a closure section, a lid and a hinge for joining the lid to the closure section for pivotal movement between a closed position and an open position. The inner surface of the cover has inner surface regions which are configured and arranged so that by urging such regions toward each other the lid is urged toward the open position. A spring confronts the inner surface of the cover and urges the surface regions toward each other to thereby bias the lid toward the open position. A latch mechanism on the frame and the lid releasably holds the lid in the closed position.

Abstract: A refrigerated box is provided in the shape of a cigarette box or pack having an upper container portion and a bottom which contains a heat sink material which is frozen in a home freezer and then plugged into the box to maintain the interior compartment refrigerated for the preservation and chilling of sticks of carrots, celery, and the like, to provide the person undergoing smoking withdrawal low-calorie snacks to munch on to substitute for cigarettes.

Abstract: A hinged lid packet has an inner frame provided at each side with a downwardly facing edge, which engages with a upwardly facing edge in the side wall of the packet to limit downward movement of the inner frame. The edge in the inner frame may be formed by an outwardly bent corner; and the corresponding edge in the side wall may be formed by a rectangular cut-out, such as a slot.

Abstract: A closure and protector for covering an upper end of a conventional soft pack cigarette package is disclosed having a pair of parallel, spaced, U-shaped members with orthogonally extending upper portions forming a framework. A stationary cover member is fixed to the upper portions of the framework and extends over a major portion of the top surface of the cigarette package. A smaller lid portion is hinged to the stationary cover portion and includes a catch means engageable with the frame to maintain the lid portion in a closed position. A lid biasing means is included for biasing the lid portion toward an open position. A book-match retaining means is pivotally attached to an exposed portion of the frame in an aperture in the stationary cover member.

Abstract: In a soft packet, particularly for filter-tipped cigarettes, the narrow sides are reinforced by panels, which may be joined together at the bottom to form a U-shaped frame. The longitudinal edges of the panels may be curved, or bent perpendicularly inwards. Various moisture-proof wrappers are disclosed for directly holding the panels about the cigarettes, some incorporating tear guiding strips to assist opening of the top of the packet.

Abstract: Case for accommodating cigarette packages of three different lengths. Two supports of right-angled L-shape are pivoted on the bottom wall of the case for selectively swinging into and out of an operative position and holding each package of lesser length in a desired position relative to the open end of the case.

Abstract: A cigarette packet is closed at one end by an air impervious tube which is sealed flat, the resulting margin and triangulated ends being folded against the packet. In one packet the tube extends to both ends of the packet, which are sealed in the same manner; in a second packet the middle part of the tube is omitted and replaced by a tubular body of card and aluminium foil; and in a third packet one end is closed by a foil cap. The packets described may be used inside a conventional hinged lid packet.
