  • Patent number: 4172520
    Abstract: A cigarette dispensing package and blank are provided wherein an inner shell is pivotably movable within an outer shell between a fully contained closed position and a partially extending open position. The economical package construction embodies a two-piece blank with a novel toggle lock tab which can be loaded on conventional cigarette equipment with generally negligible conversion. In addition, a novel foil bundle is disclosed which facilitates loading during manufacture, and precludes damage to the cigarettes when the package is opened as the novel foil bundle cooperates with the movement of the inner shell within the outer shell.
