Abstract

Abstract of the Disclosure A pack for cigarettes and the like has an inner wrapping consisting of a one-piece blank that is folded in the vertical direction around the bottom of two groups of cigarettes placed in side-by-side relationship. The front and rear walls each include a parting fold formed integrally with the blank by folding the same inwardly in V-shaped manner so as to separate the two groups. This packaging is convenient to form on packaging machinery and can completely enclose groups of cigarettes so that the cigarettes are kept fresh.

Description

The invention relates to a pack for cigarettes and like rod-shaped articles which are enclosed by an inner wrap-ping, more particularly a tinfoil blank, in which two groups of cigarettes, divided from one another, are accommodated in a common pack.
In large packs holding more than 20 cigarettes, it is usual to divide the cigarettes into two cigarette groups separated from each other and to be smoked in succession.
The cigarette groups can be separated by separate blank parts of paper, cardboard, etc.
It is an object of the invention so to construct packs of the kind specified with two or more groups that they can be manufactured very simply with economic use of material In accordance with the invention there is provided an inner pack for a composite package for cigarettes or similar rod-shaped articles in which the articles are separated into two groups, said inner pack being formed from a unitary blank comprising in the folded state a bottom wall and integral front and rear walls, lateral walls integral with the front and rear walls having overlapping side strips defining the side walls of the pack, parting folds separating the two groups of arti-cles, said parting folds being formed from V-shaped portions integral with the front and rear walls respectively and lying in a common plane each extending toward the other fold to approximately the middle of the package, a separately with-drawable top flap portion associated with each group of articles, each said top flap portion being defined by a divi-ding cut formed in the front wall ad~acent the upper part of the blank and permitting the flap portion to be drawn back to reveal the upper ends of the articles within the pack.
Moreover, the top folding of said piece may be con-structed in a special manner in order, on the one hand, to permit the two cigarette groups to be smoked independently,

and therefore in succession, and on the other hand to provide a continuous outer or top cover flap ensuring that the top ends of all the cigarettes are adequately covered.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described in greater detail with reference to the drawings, wherein:
Fig. 1 shows a blank for an inner wrapping, more particularly a tinfoil blank, in the spread-out condition;

,t , -~a-Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the lower part of the tinfoil blank during an intermediate folding position, cigarettes not being illustrated;
Fig. 3 is a vertical section through the detail in Fig, 2, rotated through 90, with the blank ready folded;
Fig. 4 is a horizontal section through a folded tinfoil blank filled with cigarettes;
Fig. 5 is a plan view o the top, end-face closure folding of the tinfoil blank; and Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the partially ready folded tinfoil blank with cigarettes.
The drawings show details of only two cigarette groups or blocks 10, 11, a common tinfoil blank 12 envelopes the blocks 10, 11. The resulting ~inner pack~ will be received in a further envelope. More particularly, packs containing two cigarette blocks 10, 11 are constructed with a hinge-lid pack (not shown).
In packs having a total number of 25 cigarettes 13, ; the cigarette blocks 10, 11 each contain a different number of cigarettes. The division shown in Fig. 4 is particularly con-venient, one cigarette block 10 consisting of 14 and the other cigarette block 11 ~ 11 cigarettes 13. As a result one cigarette 13 is disposed in the zone of each of the "corners"
in each cigarette block 10, 11.
The two cigarette blocks 10, 11 are completely enveloped and separated from one another by the common tinfoil blank 12 which is to this purpose divided up into individual areas and provided with incisions. ~he areas can be separated from one another by premarked folding lines (chain-dot lines). Areas are therefore provided for the formation of the front wall 14 and rear wall 15 for the zone of one cigarette block lO.
Correspondingly narrower areas are bounded for the front wall 16 and rear wall 17 of cigarette block ll. The front wall 14, 16;
on the one hand and the rear wall 15, 17 on the other are separated fram each other by areas for the formation of the bottom wall 18 (in the zone of cigarette block lO) and 19 (in the zone of cigarette block 11). The front and rear walls 14, 15; 16, 17 are ad~oined laterally by side strips 20, 21; 22, 23. By registering, the latter form side walls 24, 25 of the finished blank (Fig. 4). In the longitudinal direction of the elongate tinfoil blank 12, closure strips 26, 27 and side strips 20 to 23 adjoin the front and rear walls 14 to 17.
The front wall 14, rear wall 15 and bottom wall 18 on the one hand, and the ront wall 16, rear wall 17 and bottom wall 19 on the other, are continuous, being divided from one another as ~ar as the zones of the closure strips 26, 27 by an inward folding strip 28. The inward folding strip 28 is divided, by a central folding line 29, into two strips for forming partitions 30, 31.
In the zone of the length of the folding line, between the bottom walls 18, l9 on the one hand and the front and rear walls 14 to 17 on the other, the inward folding strip 28 has two parting cuts 32, 33 extending alor.g the bottom edge. Top flaps 34, 35, each associated with a cigarette block lO, 11, are pre-marked on the blank 12. To this end punching cuts 37, 36 are taken for each top flap 34, 35 in the transverse direction fram the free edge as far as the central folding line 29. The punching cuts 36, 37 are interrupted by residual connections 38, so that cohesion wit~ the remaining part of the blank 12 is ensured via the residual connections 38. A punching cut 39 with residual connections 38 also extends in the zone of the central folding line 29 to divide the top flaps 34, 35 from one another.
The punching cut 39 is ~oined by a dividing cut 40 in the zone of the closure strip 26 which forms part of the top flaps 34, 35.
The resulting tinfoil blank 12 is folded in U-shape around the two cigarette blocks 10, 11 in such a way that the bottom walls 18, 19 fonm the bottom of the web U-fold. During this phase the cigarette blocks 10, 11 are at a distance from one another corresponding to the width of the inward folding strip 28, and therefore stand up on the associated bottom walls 18, 19. Then the side walls 24, 25 can be formed by the folding over and partial registering of the side strips 20 to 23.
Then, or previously, a separating folding 41, 42 (Fig.
4) is formed by inwardly folding the inward folding strip 28 from both sides between the cigarette blocks 10, 11, accompanied by the bringing together thereof. ~hese parting folds 41, 42, which extend substantially as far as the ~imaginary) longitudinal central plane of the pack, consist of the two partitions 30, 31 interconnected in the zone of the central folding line 29, In the zone of the bottom a web 43 (Fig. 2) is produced ~; which is separated by the parting cuts 32, 33 from the parting foldings 41, 42 and extends from the bottam walls 18, 19. The web 43 can remain in the upright position shown in Fig. 2, but alternatively (Fig. 3) the web 43 can be folded around against the bottom wall 18 or 19. However, in that case the partly pre-folded blank 12 can be filled only after the web 43 has been folded over in this way.

'~

As shown in Fig. 6, first side flaps 44, 45 formed by the side walls 24, 25 are folded by adjoining triangular gussets 46 to 49 against the contents of a pack. Then inner longitudinal end flaps 50, 51 (the latter is not shown in Fig. 63 are formed and folded against the contents of the pack. To this end the zones of the partitions 30, 31 which are divided from one another by the dividing cut 40 with the adjoining triangular gussets 52, 53 are folded inwards and against the underside of the longitudinal end flaps 50, 51, so that these as a whole have a trapezoidal shape. The longitudinal flaps 50, 51 accordingly each extend over only the zone of one cigarette block 10, 11.
An outer cover flap 54 takes the form of a cover extending over both cigarette blocks 10, 11. ~he cover flap 54 is formed from the closure strip 27. The central zone fonmed by the in-wardly folding strip 28 is folded by coxrespondingly disposed folding lines under the other zones of the cover flap 54 and is go laid around that triangular flaps 55 and trapezoidal flaps 56 are folded over one another against the underside of the cover flap 54. The resulting inner pack is so disposed in an outer envelope (e.g. a hinge-lid pack) that the side with the top flaps 34, 35 and therefore the longitudinal flaps 50, 51 is disposed on the side opposite the hinge-lid. As a result, with the hinge-lid pack opened the longitudinal flaps 50, 51 can be seized (accompanied by the raising of the cover flap 54) and the particular top flap 34 or 35 can be pulled out, accompanied by the removal of the residual connections 38. Fig. 6 shows the top flap 35 of the cigarette block 11 removed in this way.
