Benefits of technology

[0005] It is an object of the present invention to provide a rigid package of tobacco articles, designed to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks, and which, in particular, is cheap and easy to produce.

Problems solved by technology

Rigid, slide-open packets of cigarettes of the type described above are marketed, by being relatively easy to produce and popular with smokers, but have been found to be mechanically fragile when of larger than normal size to contain a large number of (normally over 25) cigarettes.
Moreover, when a slide-open packet for a large number of cigarettes is almost empty, the last cigarettes, given the amount of space inside the packet, tend to topple over and are therefore difficult to extract.

[0014] Number 1 in the accompanying drawings indicates as a whole a rigid packet of cigarettes comprising two containers 2, each containing a group 3 of cigarettes wrapped in a sheet of foil; and a single container 4 housing containers 2, so that each container 2 slides with respect to container 4 between a closed position (FIG. 1) in which container 2 is fully inserted inside container 4, and an open position (FIG. 2) in which part of container 2 projects from container 4. It should be pointed out that the two containers 2 slide independently with respect to container 4, so that either one or both of containers 2 may be in the open position (FIG. 2).

[0015] By way of example, each group 3 of cigarettes comprises 12 to 20 cigarettes normally arranged in two parallel rows, so that packet 1 contains a total of 24 to 40 cigarettes.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 3, container 4 is parallelepiped-shaped, and comprises a bottom end wall 5, a top end wall 6, and a lateral surface 7 bounded by end...
