  • Publication number: 20170006921
    Abstract: A method for making electronic cigarette cartridges. The method includes a step of making the cartridges along a dedicated production line. The step of making the cartridges includes a step of making a casing by assembling one or more components along a first stretch of the production line and a step of making an electric module by assembling one or more electronic elements along a second stretch of the production line. The steps of making the casing and the electric module are steps which are synchronized and independent relative to one another. Once the steps of making the casing and the electric module are complete, the method includes a step of assembling the casing with a respective electric module to obtain the finished cartridge along a shared third stretch of the production line.

  • Patent number: 9510622
    Abstract: A packet for tobacco products includes an inner container housing a group of tobacco products. A bottom wall is positioned at end portions of the tobacco products. An outer container houses the inner container slidably in parallel with axes of the tobacco products, thus allowing the inner container to slide between a retracted position, and an extracted or raised position. The bottom wall of the inner container forms a supporting portion abutting the end portion of one of the tobacco products. The top wall of the outer container includes an opening, and each sliding action of the inner container towards the raised position causes an axial movement towards the top wall of the outer container of the tobacco product abutting the supporting portion and causing a pickup portion of the tobacco product to come out through the opening in the outer container.

  • Patent number: 9402419
    Abstract: A packet for tobacco products, includes a mobile container to receive the tobacco products, and a box-shaped body, housing the mobile container such that the mobile container can slide relative to the box-shaped body between a position in which the mobile container is completely inserted in the box-shaped body and a position in which a part of it is extracted from the box-shaped body. Each mobile container includes an inner container housing a group of tobacco products, and an outer container housing the inner container slidably in parallel with axes of the tobacco products, thus allowing the inner container to slide between a retracted position, and an extracted or raised position, in which the inner container is positioned close to a top wall of the outer container and a portion of a tobacco product is accessible through an opening in the outer container.
