Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009101069A1] A pack (1) for smoking articles comprises an outer shell (3). The outer shell comprises opposing front (2) and back major panels (4), two opposing minor side panels (6,8) and opposing first and second ends. The first end is open and the second end is closed. The pack further comprises an inner tray (5). The inner tray is located within the outer shell and is slidable along a length axis directed between the first and second ends of the outer shell so as to emerge from the first open end of the outer shell. The inner tray has an aperture (19) formed therein. The pack further comprises a tongue (21) having a head portion (24) located inside the inner tray and wider than said aperture, and a stem portion (23) connected at one end to the outer shell at or near the second end of the outer shell. The stem portion extends through the aperture to join the head portion. The aperture and tongue provide a stop mechanism to prevent withdrawal of the inner tray from the first end of the outer shell past a predetermined limit.
