Cigarette Box with a Flap Hinged Independently From the Upper Hinged Lid

Abstract

The present invention relates to a cigarette box and its blanks together with the configuration of their joints. The cigarette box according to the invention is based on a rectangular prism, and includes a storage space intended to store the cigarettes and a hinged lid ( 1 ) joined to the storage part by means of an articulated joint ( 47 ) placed on the rear wall ( 2 ). An additional storage space with an independent access, formed between the rear wall ( 2 ) or the inner front wall ( 30 ) or ( 46 ) with a flap ( 5 ) or ( 25 ) or ( 38 ) that is hinged independently from the upper hinged lid ( 1 ), is situated on the front or rear of the box. The box is characterized in that, it consists of an outer blank and an inner blank of the box, wherein the configuration of the joints between these two blanks allows forming different variations of the box to obtain the additional storage space with the independent access even if the upper lid ( 1 ) is kept in its closed position.
