It is mainly about the production of cigarette packs of the type folding box in the version "Side-Lid-Pack." The pack consists of a (lower) box part 10 a lid 11 and a collar 12 , box part 10 and lid 11 are from a single or one-piece cut 13 made of thin cardboard or similar packaging material. The collar 12 consists of a separate blank ( 2 ).

The elongated blank 13 is divided into patches by punching lines and preferably embossed fold lines to form a box front wall 14 , a bottom wall 15 , a box back wall 16 , At the box front wall 14 are box-side lobes 17 . 18 attached laterally. These are corresponding inner box side flaps 19 . 20 in the area of the box back wall 16 assigned.

In a similar way is a to the box back wall 16 subsequent cut area for the lid 11 formed, namely with lid rear wall 21 , Front wall 22 and lid front wall 23 , Also in the area of this the lid 11 associated blank areas are arranged side lobes, namely lid side tabs 24 . 25 in the area of the lid rear wall 21 as well as lid side lobes 26 . 27 on the sides of the lid front wall 23 , The cut 13 is therefore designed to use the Längsfaltprinzips.

In the finished package or folding boxes are the box side lobes 17 and 19 such as 18 and 20 under complete overlap with each other to form a box sidewall 28 , Corresponding are the box side lobes 18 and 20 folded to cover and bonded together by glue to form an opposing box sidewall. From the lid side lobes 24 .. 27 become lid sidewalls 30 and 31 educated.

A special feature is that the lid 11 in the area of a side wall via a joint, namely via a line joint 32 , foldable with the box part 10 connected is. For this purpose, the inner side lobes, namely box side lobes 20 the box back wall 16 and lid side lobes 25 on the lid rear wall 21 interconnected and by a line joint formed by embossing or otherwise 32 separated from each other. Outside of this line joint 32 are lids 11 and box part 10 separated by closing edges, which - starting from the ends of the line joint 32 - To the opposite side, namely the box side wall 28 downwards are inclined. In the area of the box front wall 14 and lid front wall 23 the closing edges consist of free, obliquely directed end edges 33 . 34 of the blank 13 , Opposite, namely in the area of the back, are box back wall 16 and lid rear wall 21 separable interconnected, through an obliquely directed punching line 35 and residual compounds 36 , These ensure a uniform cut 10 for the production of the pack. When opening for the first time by lifting the lid 11 become the residual compounds 36 severed, leaving the punching line 35 a continuous separation between box part 10 and lid 11 forms. In the area of box sidewall 28 and lid sidewall 30 or in the range of box side lobes 19 and lid side lobes 24 is a continuous separation cut 37 attached so that in the area of the corresponding side walls 28 . 30 box part 10 and lid 11 are separated from each other.

The collar 12 is designed so that the contents of the package, in this case a cigarette block 37 that is, a group of cigarettes surrounded by an inner blank, around the collar 12 is surrounded. The collar 12 consists for this purpose of collar front wall 38 , subsequent collar sidewall 39 , Collar back wall 40 and a peripheral collar sidewall 41 , Approximately in the middle of the collar sidewall 39 inside the collar 12 between front wall 38 and back wall 40 is positioned, there is a recess 42 in the finished package ( 5 ) in the area of the lid side wall 30 as well as in adjacent partial areas of the lid front wall 23 as well as lid rear wall 21 extends. The folded collar 12 surrounds the cuboid cigarette block 37 such that the collar front wall 38 on the inside of the box front wall 14 is applied. The collar sidewall 39 is the box sidewall 28 and the collar back wall 40 the box back wall 16 faces. The end flap attached collar side wall 41 lies on the box sidewall 29 at.

A special feature of the pack is a closing aid for the lid 11 in the area of the lid side wall 30 arranged. This consists of a tab or tongue 43 at the lower closing edge of the lid 11 or the lid side wall 30 , One with this tongue 43 cooperating counterpart is at the collar 12 in appropriate relative position to the tongue 43 educated. It is a recess in the collar side wall 39 into which the tongue 43 with the lid closed 11 in an upward position. The recess is in this case by a U- or C-shaped punched 44 formed to form an upwardly directed tab 45 , This is a transverse, lower line 46 pivotable. The tab 45 is slightly deformed inwardly during manufacture of the package, leaving a U-shaped slot for entry of the tongue 43 arises.

A special feature is the production of the package from two separate blanks. These are in the unfolded state or after folding over only the tongue 43 against the inside of the lid side flap 26 merged into a unit by the collar 12 in packwise relative position on the blank 10 (Inside) is hung up. In the concrete embodiment, the collar is located 12 with the collar back wall 40 aligned on the box back wall 16 , The adjacent collar sidewall 41 lies on the (inner) box side flap 20 and the opposite collar sidewall 39 on the other box side flap 19 at. The collar front wall 38 protrudes laterally over the blank 10 out. The relative position is chosen so that an upper part of the collar 12 in the area of the lid 11 lies and so in the finished pack from the box part 10 protrudes ( 5 ). For the closing aid, namely for the tab 45 is the lid side flap 24 with a recess 47 provided that access the on the outer lid side flap 26 arranged tongue 43 to the counterpart of the entanglement at the collar 12 guaranteed.

The exact position of the collar 12 on or on the blank 13 is by stops 81 . 82 guaranteed. In a side area of the blank 13 are two stops 81 . 82 formed, in the box side flap 20 on the one hand and in the box side flap 19 on the other hand. These are material deformations that are formed by stamping and embossing, so that a stop edge by the stops 81 . 82 is formed, at the one (lower) edge of the collar 12 is applied, namely a lower edge of the collar side wall 41 on the one hand and the collar sidewall 39 on the other hand. The attacks 81 . 82 are attached by basically known punching and embossing tools.

The collar 12 is in the pack according positioning on the blank 13 fixed by gluing, in the present case by a transverse row of glue spots 48 extending over the full width of the blank 10 extend with at least one glue point each 48 in the area of the box side lobes 19 . 20 , More glue points 49 serve to fix the cigarette block 37 in the pack.

In the 3 shown unit of unfolded blanks 10 . 12 is processed in a packaging machine to form a folding box. The present example largely corresponds to a packaging machine with a folding turret known for the production of packages of the Hinge-Lid type 50 , the plate-shaped and by means of an upright shaft 51 is rotatable about a vertical axis. At the circumference of the folding turret 50 is a plurality of bags 52 arranged, each for receiving a blank or a blanks unit including package contents. At the folding turret 50 Folding members are arranged outside of the area of the same, which during cutting the blank 10 . 12 fold to form the package.

In a known manner, cigarettes are used to form cigarette groups 53 a cigarette magazine 54 taken and along a cigarette path in the radial direction of the folding turret 50 fed. In the range of the cigarette course becomes the cigarette group 53 wrapped in an inner blank made of paper or Stanniol to form the cigarette block 37 , This is in a plug-in station 55 in the bag held there 52 (with cut 13 . 12 ) introduced. On the opposite side the folding turret 50 there is a Ausschubstation 56 for transferring the largely finished packs to a radially laxative packing web 57 , The blanks 13 are transported so that the side with the tongue 43 is directed forward. During transport, the tongue becomes 43 against the inside of the lid side flap 26 So, up, folded.

A special feature is the feeding of the individual blanks and transfer of the cutting unit to a bag 52 in the area of an induction station 58 , This is offset by 90 ° to the stations 55 . 56 , So arranged transversely to the conveying direction of the cigarette groups and packs. The blanks 13 be along a diametrical to the folding turret 50 guided blank track 59 above the revolver 50 to the induction station 58 promoted. The blanks 13 Become a blank magazine for this purpose 60 taken individually and then in known manner along the blank track 59 into a defined position above the bag 52 transported.

The collars 12 be on a separate track, namely collar web 61 , the induction station 58 or the associated blank 13 supplied, in one to the blank web 59 opposite conveying direction. Furthermore, the collar web 61 offset to the blank track 59 arranged so that the collar 12 in a position next to the prepared blank 13 Arrive.

The cut sheet 59 is above the folding turret 50 arranged substantially in a downwardly inclined plane. The collar train 61 runs in a direction of conveyance upwardly inclined plane, namely the height slightly upwardly offset to the blank web 59 , The collar train 61 connects to a collar aggregate 62 outside or next to the packaging machine. In the area of the collar aggregate 62 become of a material web the individual collar 12 separated and in the collar web 61 introduced. This consists in the area of the collar aggregate 62 from conveyor rollers, in the area of the packaging machine essentially from (two pairs of) superimposed conveyor belts 63 . 64 , Between the conveyor drums are the collar 12 initially in a tight position, finally transported at intervals from each other.

At the end of the collar train 61 the collar is running 12 against a stop providing accurate transverse alignment to the blank provided next to it and in a downwardly displaced plane 13 causes. In the area of the induction station 58 a special collar unit is formed. This consists of an end plate 65 extending transversely into the area of the conveyor belts 63 . 64 extends. The end plate 65 makes the adjusting stop for the collar 12 , and here as a cross-sectionally U-shaped guide profile in cross-section 66 ,

The cut 13 will be in the induction station 58 above a folding shaft defined by shaped bodies 67 kept ready. This is located in the end of the blank track 69 , The cut 13 becomes in a subsequent folding corresponding relative position in lateral guides 68 in exact alignment with the below the folding shaft 67 located bag 52 aligned.

The collar 12 will be at the end of the collar web 61 on the end plate 65 moved in the transverse direction. This purpose is served by a special slider 69 , This is with a holding member for detecting the collar 12 provided, namely with a sucker 70 that is via a suction line 71 connected to a vacuum source. The slider 69 captures the collar 12 with the sucker 70 at the top. By a transverse movement of the collar 12 in an aligned position above the blank 13 emotional. A Queran hit 72 determines the position of the collar 12 , The slider 69 returns after removing the collar 12 in a slightly increased trajectory in the starting position to take over the next collar 12 back. A closed trajectory 73 of the slider 69 is shown by dotted line.

cut 13 and collar 12 are now in pack-oriented position above the folding shaft 67 , at first with distance from each other ( 10 ). By a folding organ, namely a folding plate 74 By first moving down, the collar first becomes 12 and then the cut 13 recorded and taken in a downward folding motion. Parts of the blank 13 and the collar 12 slide on folding guides 75 and 76 along and on the way to the below the folding shaft 67 located bag 52 erected. By two opposing lateral folding guides 75 in particular the box side lobes 19 and 20 and the subsequent lid side lobes 24 . 25 erected. In this first folding step, the collar side wall 41 on the one hand and the collar sidewall 39 with the adjoining collar front wall 38 folded into an upright position, giving a total of a U-shaped folding cross section in the bag 52 is created ( 13 ). Through the transverse folding guide 76 becomes a bottom wall during the downward movement of the trimming unit 15 and box front wall 14 existing leg folded into an upright position ( 9 ), so that in the radial direction of the folding turret 50 the blank has an L-shaped intermediate fold position. This folding process is known in principle by EP 1 149 690 ,

The feeding of the collar 12 in a folding position offset collar web 61 considers those in the induction station 58 existing folding organs, especially the up and down movable folding plate 74 , This is designed so that the slider 69 the collar 12 each in the folding position above the folding shaft 67 can transport. The folding plate 74 has for this purpose a lateral recess 77 on, in which the slider 69 in the final position above the folding shaft 67 entry ( 10 ). The recess 77 is through a bell-shaped cover 78 closed up.

By training the folding plate 74 with recess 77 and bell-like, in any case increased coverage 78 , the slider can 69 in the end position of the collar 12 be solved, this through the areas of the folding plate 74 outside the recess 77 in the position above the blank 13 is fixed. For the slider 69 there is sufficient space to return to the starting position in a raised position before the folding plate 74 is moved downwards.

After retracting the slider 69 in the starting position, the folding plate 74 moved down, by a fixed pivot lever 79 , The folding plate 74 press the blank 13 with collar 12 until resting on a pocket bottom 80 the pocket 52 ( 13 ).

The folding turret 50 promotes the bag 52 without significant alteration of the folding tabs in the insertion station 55 , The cigarette block 37 is in the radial direction in the bag 52 inserted, the blanks in cross-section of 13 assume an obvious position.

The pocket 52 is with holding members for the (partially folded) blank 13 including collar 12 Mistake. These are holding tongues 83 . 84 at the top of the U-shaped bag 52 are arranged and at folded up edges edges of the blank 13 as well as the collar 12 issue. The retaining tongue 84 lies on the free edges of the box side flap 20 and the collar sidewall 41 at. The retaining tongue 83 is located in the area of the raised collar front wall 38 , The collar 12 is designed so that the retaining tongue 83 on edges of the blank 13 and the collar 12 is applied. For this purpose, a punching line is used 85 in the area of a fold line between collar front wall 38 and collar sidewall 39 is formed as to the edge free nick. Due to appropriate deformation reaches the sharpened retaining tongue 83 in the investment position for fixing the unit.

Following the plug-in station 55 be with continued rotational movement of the folding turret 50 folded more folding flaps. The erect part of the collar 12 namely, the collar front wall 38 , located in the direction of movement of the folding turret 50 at the front of the bag 52 , By a stationary folding member (not shown) is by the rotational movement of the folding turret 50 the erect collar front wall 38 against the top of the cigarette block 37 folded. Thereafter, the erected areas of the blank 13 , especially the box front wall 14 , also against the top of the cigarette block 37 or against the collar front wall 38 folded.

The largely completed pack is in the area of Ausschubstation 56 from the folding turret 50 pushed out and to the pack railway 57 to hand over. In the area of this pack railway 57 there is a glue station 86 for applying glue to the underside of the sideways folding flaps, namely the box side flaps 17 . 18 as well as the lid side flap 26 . 27 , These are then up to the plant to the already folded inner side lobe 19 . 20 . 24 . 25 folded.

The glue station 86 is with a bottom glue roller 87 provided, which dips into a glue pot and transfers due to rotational movement of glue on the underside of the folding flaps. The glue roller 87 acts together with a above the movement path of the folding tabs arranged pressure roller 88 , This is with a recess 89 provided on its periphery. The recess 89 is located in the area of the folded into the detent position tongue 43 namely on the underside of the glue-on lid side flap 26 , The tongue 43 is already in the area of blanking 59 in the operative position according to 3 folded.

As an alternative to the embodiment shown, the blanks to be united, namely blanks 13 and collar 12 , Also rectified fed in superimposed tracks of the folding station. Furthermore, a merge of blank 13 and collar 12 be carried out in advance, so that they are fed as a unit to the folding turret.
