| 20090077929 | METHOD AND PACKING MACHINE FOR COMBINING AN INSERT AND A GROUP OF CIGARETTES - A method and packing machine for combining an insert and a group of cigarettes; the group of cigarettes is fed to a first seat of a pocket, which first seat is designed to house the group of cigarettes; the insert is fed to a second seat of the pocket, which second seat is designed to house the insert and is separate from the first seat; and the group of cigarettes and the insert are expelled together from the pocket by a common ejector device, so as to combine the insert with the group of cigarettes. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090199515 | Method and Wrapping Unit for Folding a Sheet of Wrapping about a Group of Cigarettes - A method and wrapping unit for producing a package containing a group of cigarettes, and which include: feeding the group of cigarettes along a path; feeding a sheet of wrapping perpendicularly to the path of the group of cigarettes; feeding a tubular spindle along the path of the group of cigarettes to intercept the sheet of wrapping and fold the sheet of wrapping into a U about the tubular spindle; and feeding the group of cigarettes through the tubular spindle to slide the sheet of wrapping off the tubular spindle and apply the U-folded sheet of wrapping to the group of cigarettes. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090242136 | Unit for applying adhesive labels to a continuous strip - Adhesive labels are applied to a continuous strip by a unit fed with a first continuous strip of wrapping material advancing along a first path, and a second continuous strip of backing material presenting a succession of labels and advancing along a second path. The labels are detached singly from the second strip by a diverter blade placed along the second path and presenting a sharp edge over which the backing strip is routed through an acute angle to induce the separation of the labels. The unit comprises an aspirating first drum rotating substantially in contact with the edge of the diverter blade at an angular velocity greater than the linear velocity of the second strip, so as to increase the distance between successive transferred labels, and a second drum around which the first strip is looped in such a way that it can be offered to the first drum; the first and second drums rotate tangentially one to another and at the same angular velocity through a point of mutual tangency coinciding with the point at which the labels are transferred from the first drum to the first continuous strip. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090288371 | WRAPPING METHOD AND UNIT FOR FOLDING A SHEET OF WRAPPING MATERIAL ABOUT A GROUP OF CIGARETTES - A wrapping method and unit for producing a package containing a group of cigarettes and having a cigarette extraction opening; a sheet of wrapping material, complete with the cigarette extraction opening, is fed into a pocket of a wrapping wheel so that the sheet of wrapping material folds into a U inside the pocket; then the group of cigarettes is fed into the pocket containing the U-folded sheet of wrapping material. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20090288966 | Rigid packet with a hinged lid - A rigid hinge-lid packet ( | 11-26-2009 |
| 20090308766 | HERMETICALLY SEALED PACKET - A hermetically sealed cigarette packet is fashioned from a flat blank of substantially rectangular outline, referable to a longitudinal axis, having at least one face coated with an impermeable and heat-sealable material. The blank is divided by two crease lines extending parallel to the axis and by further crease lines transverse to the selfsame axis into a series of panels aligned on the longitudinal axis, each furnished with two flaps extending from its opposite ends; each flap is separated from the adjacent flap by a V-shaped notch of which the tip is positioned at a given distance from the corresponding longitudinal crease line, on the side remote from the longitudinal axis, rather than extending the full depth of the flap and intersecting the selfsame crease line. | 12-17-2009 |

| 20110011038 | METHOD OF FEEDING WRAPPING MATERIAL IN A PRODUCT PACKAGING MACHINE, AND A RELATIVE FEED UNIT - Wrapping material is supplied to the folding stations of a packaging machine, such as a cigarette packer, by a method that includes a step of dividing a continuous strip of multilayer material into single leaves, and a step of feeding the leaves to a wrapping unit; the step of dividing the continuous strip into leaves combines a first stage in which a partial cut is made in the strip by means of a laser device, leaving at least one layer of the multilayer strip intact, and a second stage in which a single leaf is detached by means of a tear device, separating along a score line created by the partial cutting step. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110062037 | Slide-Open Package of Tobacco Articles, and Relative Production Method - A slide-open package of tobacco articles, having a parallelepiped-shaped inner container which houses a group of tobacco articles and has two opposite, parallel major lateral walls; a parallelepiped-shaped outer container which has two opposite, parallel major lateral walls and houses the inner container to allow the inner container to slide between a closed position, in which the inner container is inserted inside the outer container, and an open position, in which the inner container is at least partly withdrawn from the outer container; and at least one coupon located between a first major lateral wall of the inner container and a major lateral wall of the outer container. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110084120 | Package of Cigarettes Having an Inner Package with a Stiffener - A package of cigarettes, having: a group of cigarettes; an inner package enclosing the group of cigarettes and made from a sheet of wrapping folded about the group of cigarettes; and a U-shaped stiffener made of rigid material and located inside the inner package, contacting the group of cigarettes; the sheet of wrapping has two flaps which are superimposed and heat sealed to each other at a rear wall or front wall of the group of cigarettes defined by the cylindrical lateral walls of the cigarettes. | 04-14-2011 |
