Patent number: 8464867Abstract: A package (1) for tobacco-related articles comprises an outer shell (2), a lid (4) which is adapted to close the top side of the outer shell (2) and can be swivelled about a hinge line, and an inner shell (6). The inner shell (6) accommodates a plurality of tobacco-related articles and can be shifted in the outer shell (2) from a retracted position to an advanced position, which enables access to the tobacco-related articles. A cutout (20) in the outer shell (2) exposes part of the inner shell (6) and enables transmitting a force onto the inner shell (6) for moving the inner shell (6). A connector (50) pushes the lid (4) into its opened state when the inner shell (6) is moved into its advanced position and pulls the lid (4) into its closed state when the inner shell (6) is moved into its retracted position.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2010Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Assignee: Imperial Tobacco LimitedInventors: Steve Holloway, Tim Collins, Solvey Knorr, Neil Southey, Paul Jenkins, Alistair Buckingham, Regine Wolfgramm, Inga Gurke, Slavomir Novak, Guillaume Devivier
