Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0370265A1] The hitherto conventional cigarette packs, especially with a hinge-lid box (10), an inner blank (29) made of tin foil and, if appropriate, an outer wrapping made of plastic film, are unsuitable for the disposal of smoked cigarettes (waste cigarettes 48). It is considered a disadvantage, however, that smoked cigarettes are disposed of individually. This applies particularly to "artificial cigarettes" recently brought onto the market. For improved waste disposal, the existing cigarette pack, especially of the hinge-lid type (10), is equipped with a waste chamber (47) for receiving waste cigarettes (48). Part of the inner blank (28), namely the rear wall (30), forms a partition wall between the waste chamber (46) and a cigarette chamber (47). The smoked cigarettes are reintroduced into the pack via an insertion orifice (54). The dimensions and design of the cigarette pack are virtually unchanged in relation to those of conventional cigarette packs. The possibility of eliminating the cigarette pack, together with all the smoked cigarettes, as a single unit is nevertheless afforded. <IMAGE>
