  • Publication number: 20250066067
    Abstract: A packet for smoking articles includes: a group of smoking articles; a container having a containing portion for receiving the smoking articles, wherein an empty space, devoid of smoking articles, is defined in the containing portion; a covering body of said container having a tubular wall extending along a reference axis, within which the container is inserted and configured for moving along the reference axis, between a safety position wherein the container is in a retracted condition within the covering body and access to the group of smoking articles is impeded, and a use position wherein the container is in an extracted condition with respect to the covering body for providing access to the group of smoking articles. The packet may include a blocking system arranged to prevent movement of the container from the safety position to the use position and to enable this movement via an unlocking element.

  • Publication number: 20240208705
    Abstract: A pack for consumer articles comprising: a plurality of consumer articles arranged in a row extending along a longitudinal extension of the pack; and a parallelepiped-shaped box, which houses the consumer articles and has two bottom walls parallel and opposite one another and arranged orthogonally to the longitudinal extension of the pack, and four side walls arranged parallel to the longitudinal extension, in pairs, parallel to and opposite one another. The box comprises: an extraction opening for the articles arranged at a distance other than zero from both bottom walls and is obtained through at least one side wall; and a closing tab hinged along a hinge so as to rotate between an open position, in which it is spaced apart from the extraction opening, allowing the consumer articles to be extracted, and a closed position, in which it covers the extraction opening, preventing the consumer articles from being extracted.

  • Patent number: 11844373
    Abstract: Rigid pack for rod-shaped articles includes; a parallelepiped-shaped container, which houses the group of articles and has at least a lower wall, a front wall, a rear wall and two side walls; and a support system arranged in the container and has at least a first containing wall, which is parallel to the lower wall and is provided with a plurality of through holes, each engaged by a corresponding smoking article. The support system consists of a first articulated parallelogram having a frame glued to the rear wall of the container, two cranks and a connecting rod, which only rests against the front wall of the container, so that, while the rigid pack is being manufactured, the support system can be formed with the first articulated parallelogram in a flat condition and can subsequently be expanded by opening the first articulated parallelogram by rotation of both cranks.

  • Patent number: 11772882
    Abstract: A pack for smoking articles having a group of smoking articles; an inner element with at least one wall; and a cup-shaped rigid outer container, housing the inner element and the group of smoking articles, and having an open upper end, a lower wall, oppositely disposed front and rear walls, and oppositely disposed side walls. A cup-shaped lid is hinged to the outer container to rotate, relative to the outer container, between open and closed positions to open and close the open upper end and has: an open lower end, an upper wall, oppositely disposed front and rear walls, and oppositely disposed side walls. The inner element is longitudinally shorter than the outer container coupled to the lid in the closed position and, keeping the lid in the closed position, can linearly slide inside the outer container along a longitudinal sliding direction, perpendicular to the outer container lower wall.

  • Patent number: 11753235
    Abstract: A pack for smoking articles comprising: a group of smoking articles housed in an inner container; an outer container, housing on the inside and in a sliding manner, the inner container; and a locking system. The locking system comprises an abutment element integral with and arranged inside the outer container; a first wing integral with the inner container and movable relative thereto so as to be arranged in abutment against the abutment element when the inner container is in a closed position, thus preventing the inner container from sliding from the closed position to an open position; and a second wing obtained on and movable relative to the outer container so as to be pressed inwards and, hence, move the underlying first wing accordingly to release the first wing abutting against the abutment element and allow the inner container to slide from the closed position to the open position.

  • Publication number: 20230117199
    Abstract: The invention relates to a package of smoking articles comprising: a front wall; a rear wall; a bottom; two side walls; and at least a first support wall, which has a first group of seats for receiving, each one, a smoking article and is arranged in proximity to the front wall so as to be transversal to the front wall and to the rear wall. Each side wall has: a first portion proximal to the front wall; a second portion proximal to the rear wall; and a folding line arranged between the first portion and the second portion so as to allow the folding of the first portion on the second portion, or vice versa, causing the mutual distancing and approach of the front wall and of the rear wall.
