The The invention relates to a pack for cigarettes, the pack a cup-shaped box part for receiving a package content, in particular a cigarette group, has and a lid for closing the box part as well a collar disposed in the box part, the package being upright Side walls, namely one large front wall and an opposite one rear wall as well as the front wall and the rear wall connecting narrow side walls, having, wherein the side walls over Box part and cover part extend and by upright fold lines interconnected, according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a blank for producing such a package.

such Packs are presented as hinge-lid packs in numerous embodiments known. In addition to packages with parallelepiped shape are also packs known to have a hexagonal or octagonal cross section or have rounded packing edges. Also known are packs the back have right-angled and front-side bevelled packing edges. These special forms of packaging are on the one hand against the background the possible space-saving arrangement of the package contents and on the other hand the background of a possible Eye-catching package design has been developed. Of these, independently There is the problem that (cigarette) packs are often copied become.

Of these, Based on the object of the invention, the object Packages of to further develop the aforementioned type, in particular with regard to on a (even) more conspicuous Package design and / or with regard to a form that is more difficult to copy is.

A Pack to the solution This object has the features of claim 1. It is therefore provided that an intermediate surface formed on two adjacent side walls is that is coherent about parts both adjacent side walls extends, and wherein the interface between the fold line the two adjacent side walls interrupts, and wherein the adjacent side walls in the region of the intermediate surface a deviate from the plane of the respective side surface outside the intermediate surface Have history.

One Advantage of this solution is that the packing is more complicated due to the interfaces is in the making and thus not easily copied can, for example, as conventional Cigarette packs with rectangular cross section. On the other Side allows the interface - especially in conjunction with an appropriate printing design - the possibility of Achieving new visual effects, thereby reducing the attention of the Consumers can be directed to the pack.

The invention will be described below with reference to the production of packages 10 for cigarettes exemplified. With the packs 10 These are variants of the package type Hinge-Lid. The packs show accordingly 10 a (lower) box part 11 and a (top) lid 12 on. According to the packing type is the lid 12 swiveling on the box part 11 arranged, namely in the area of a line joint 34 , which is transverse to an imaginary upright main axis of the pack 10 runs.

Another component of the pack is a collar 13 in the box part 11 is arranged and protrudes from this. The collar 13 usually serves to stabilize the closed position of the lid 12 , With the lid closed (eg 1 ) are lids 12 and box part 11 with respective closing edges 14 . 15 to each other.

The box part 11 is essentially cup-shaped, for receiving a package contents 28 , in the present case, a cigarette group. The cigarette group may be surrounded in the usual way by an inner sheath, for example, of stanniol, which is folded around the cigarette group.

• – eine großflächige Vorderwand 16, gebildet aus Deckel-Vorderwand 17 und Schachtel-Vorderwand 18,
• – eine der Vorderwand 16 gegenüberliegende großflächige Rückwand 19, gebildet aus Deckel-Rückwand 20 und Schachtel-Rückwand 21,
• – gegenüberliegende Schmalseitenwände 22, 23 zur Verbindung der Vorderwand 16 und der Rückwand 19, gebildet aus Deckel-Schmalseitenwänden 24 und Schachtel-Schmalseitenwänden 25,
• – eine (unterseitige) Bodenwand 26 am Schachtelteil 11, und
• – eine (oberseitige) Deckelwand 27 am Deckel 12.

The package 10 has upright side walls connected by fold lines. The sidewalls extend in respective planes, each aligned parallel to the imaginary main upright axis of the pack. The sidewalls include the following packing walls:

• - a large front wall 16 , formed from lid front wall 17 and box front wall 18 .
• - one of the front wall 16 opposite large-scale rear wall 19 , formed from lid rear wall 20 and box back wall 21 .
• - opposite narrow side walls 22 . 23 for connecting the front wall 16 and the back wall 19 , formed from lid narrow side walls 24 and box narrow side walls 25 .
• - a (bottom) bottom wall 26 at the box part 11 , and
• - a (top) lid wall 27 on the lid 12 ,

Depending on the cross-sectional shape of the pack 10 can the narrow side walls 22 . 23 be formed of several partial side walls. In the first embodiment according to 1 to 12 has the pack 10 over narrow side walls 22 . 23 , each through five partial sidewalls 29 . 30 . 31 . 32 . 33 be formed.

A cut 35 for the preparation of the pack 10 is in 6 shown. The cut 35 may consist of a conventional packaging material, such as thin cardboard. Center of the blank are consecutive box front wall 18 , Bottom wall 26 , Box back wall 21 , Lid rear wall 20 , Top wall 27 and lid front wall 17 and a lid inner flap 36 arranged. These walls are through in the transverse fold lines 37 connected with each other. Laterally next to the box front wall 18 are box-side tabs on both sides 39 . 40 . 41 for the formation of the partial side walls 29 ... 33 of the box part 11 arranged one below the other by longitudinal fold lines 38 are connected. The partial sidewall 31 is in the range of the box part 11 by overlapping arrangement of the two box side lobes 41 educated. More box side lobes 38 ... 41 are on both sides of the box back wall 21 arranged. Laterally the lid rear wall 20 There are corresponding lid side tabs 42 . 43 . 44 , as well as on both sides of the lid front wall 17 , Furthermore, there are floor corner flaps 45 and lid corner flaps 46 on the one hand to the outer box side lobes 41 adjacent to the bottom wall 26 and on the other hand on the outer lid side lobes 44 adjacent to the top wall 27 are arranged.

A collar cut 47 is adapted to the shape of the pack so that it is in the area of the box front wall 18 and the partial side walls 29 ... 33 extends. In this respect are in the collar blank 47 corresponding longitudinal fold lines 38 intended. Furthermore, the collar blank 47 a top recess 48 on.

The preparation of the pack 10 takes place in a conventional manner on a packaging machine for Hinge-lid packs, not shown, wherein the blank 35 along the (longitudinal and transverse) fold lines 37 . 38 is folded.

The peculiarity of the pack 10 consists in the formation of so-called interfaces 49 on the side walls of the box part 11 , In the area of the interface 49 the course of the side walls deviates from the usual course outside the area of the interface 49 from. This results in a characteristic shape of the packing 10 ,

In the embodiment according to 1 to 12 are a total of four interfaces 49 provided on the partial side walls 29 . 30 and 31 . 32 are formed and that at both Schmalsei tenwänden 22 . 23 , The intermediate surfaces 49 are consistently arranged so that they extend over areas of two adjacent side walls of the package 10 extend. The intermediate surfaces 49 are further arranged so that they extend over a straight line, along which the longitudinal fold line 38 run on the adjacent side walls, wherein the longitudinal fold line 38 in the area of the interface 49 is interrupted. The longitudinal fold line 38 goes in the area of the interface 49 into a transition line 50 over that along the perimeter of the interface 49 runs.

The contour of the interface 49 in the first embodiment corresponds to a rhombus, wherein an upper end and an upper peak of the rhombus on an upper end 52 the longitudinal fold line 38 between the side walls. A lower end or a lower tip of the rhombus lies on a lower end 51 the longitudinal fold line 38 ,

Lateral corners 56 the rhombus lie on the longitudinal fold line 38 to the adjacent partial side wall 31 and on the longitudinal fold line 38 to the box front wall 18 ,

As a result, so are the upper and lower vertices or ends of the interface 49 at the intersection of three lines of weakness, namely the fold line 38 , as well as two transition lines 50 , Also the side corners 56 lie at the intersection of three lines of weakness, namely again the fold line 38 and two transition lines 50 , For the preparation of the pack 10 this is an advantage because the lines of weakness are not broken.

The intermediate surfaces 49 are each at a distance to the transverse fold line 37 to the bottom wall 26 and to the closing edge 15 of the box part 11 arranged, with the intermediate surfaces 49 each have the same height and in the middle between the Querfaltlinie 37 in the transition to the bottom wall 26 and the closing edge 15 of the box part 11 are positioned.

Because of the oblique course of the closing edge 15 in the area of the side walls 22 . 23 are the interfaces 49 at the partial side walls 32 . 33 with a greater distance from the transverse fold line 37 to the bottom wall 26 arranged as the intermediate surfaces 49 at the partial side walls 29 . 30 ,

The intermediate surfaces 49 are exclusively in the area of the box part 11 arranged, whereas on the lid 12 no interfaces 49 are formed.

Along the contour of the intermediate surfaces 49 is in the material of the blank 35 an incision 53 provided as material weakening. The material weakening or the incision 53 preferably runs continuously along the contour of the intermediate surface 49 , The material weakening along the transition lines 50 the interface 49 allows easier deformation of the blank 35 and thus the deviating course to the respective side walls. The material weakening runs on the package contents 28 pointing inside of the blank 35 ,

The exact course in the area of the interface 49 results from the contour of the same and the arrangement on the side walls. In the present case, the intermediate surface runs 49 curved and angled to the respective side walls ( 9 and 10 ).

The depth of the incision 53 or the scribe is between 1/3 and 2/3 of the thickness of the blank 35 ,

In the present case, too, are some of the longitudinal fold lines 38 through cuts 53 formed, namely at least the longitudinal fold lines 38 between the narrow partial side walls 29 ... 33 as well as between the partial side walls 29 ... 33 and the adjacent front wall 16 or rear wall 19 ,

The transverse fold lines 37 are as embossed creases 54 educated. Also the other longitudinal fold lines 38 can as such creases 54 be educated.

Another special feature is that the adjacent side walls at a certain angle 55 are arranged. The angle 55 between the two partial sidewalls 29 . 30 respectively. 32 . 33 is at least 135 °, the angle 55 outside the area of the interface 49 is determined and that on the package contents 29 facing side (interior angle).

Due to the formation of material weakening as (simple) cuts 53 becomes the blank 35 when folding the blank 35 squeezed in the area of material weakening.

following Be variants and alternatives to the first embodiment or one of the other embodiments in each case only the differences from the embodiment to which reference is made. Unless otherwise described, the respective package corresponds to the embodiment is referred to.

A second embodiment of a pack 10 is in 13 to 22 shown. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in terms of the position of the interface 49 and the shape of the narrow sides walls 22 . 23 ,

In the pack 10 it is a pack 10 of the octagonal packing type, ie the cross section of the packing 10 is octagonal. These are the narrow side walls 22 . 23 for connecting the front wall 16 and the back wall 19 through three partial side walls 30 . 31 . 32 formed, which are arranged at an angle to each other in plan.

The intermediate surfaces 49 are in the second embodiment of the box front wall 18 and the adjacent partial sidewalls 30 arranged so that they are above the imaginary line - in which the longitudinal fold lines 38 extending between these two side walls extends. The number and arrangement of the interfaces 49 is otherwise as in the first embodiment, but with the lateral ends or corners 56 the diamond-shaped contour not on adjacent longitudinal fold lines 38 lie, but by far from these.

The longitudinal fold lines 38 can also be used as creases in this embodiment, because of the greater width of the side walls 54 be formed, instead of cuts 53 ,

3 shows a third embodiment, that differs from the first embodiment only by the shape of the intermediate surfaces 49 different.

The intermediate surfaces 49 have a lenticular shape, with an upper end 52 and a lower end 51 as in the first embodiment on the longitudinal fold lines 38 lie. Laterally, the curved contour of the transition lines extends 50 the intermediate surfaces 49 each up to adjacent longitudinal fold lines 38 in the transition to lateral adjacent side walls.

24 to 26 show a fourth embodiment in the form of a pack 10 with round edges 57 , Typical of the package shape is the rounded shape of the upright packaging edges between the front wall 16 or rear wall 19 and the narrow side walls 22 . 23 ,

The intermediate surfaces 49 are each in the range of a round edge 57 arranged as a partial sidewall 30 a transition between the front wall 16 and the narrow side walls 22 . 23 as well as partial side wall 32 a transition between the back wall 19 and the narrow side walls 22 . 23 manufactures.

The partial side walls 30 . 32 are common in round edged packages from a variety of, for example, eight narrow segments 58 formed by longitudinal fold lines 38 connected to each other. In contrast to the previous embodiments, the segments 58 not with each other by longitudinal fold lines 38 with cuts 53 separated. Only the outer longitudinal fold lines 38 in the transition to the front wall 18 and the narrow side walls 22 . 23 show these cuts 53 on.

The adjacent segments 58 are each arranged as in the other embodiments at an angle of ≥ 135 °.

The intermediate surfaces 49 each extend over the full width of the round edges 57 , that is over several segments 58 away, the lower end 51 and the top end 52 the rhombus in turn on a longitudinal fold line 38 lies. The lateral corners of the rhombus lie on the longitudinal fold lines 38 in the transition to the front wall 18 and the partial sidewall 31 , the cuts 53 exhibit.

A fifth embodiment is in 27 and 28 shown, namely in the form of a pack 10 with beveled edges 59 ,

The beveled edges 59 are formed on the same packing edges as the round edges 57 in the previous embodiment. The four interfaces 49 are arranged as in the second embodiment, ie in the transition between the front 16 as well as back 19 and each narrow side walls 22 . 23 , However, the partial side walls are 30 . 32 in the area of the beveled edges 59 narrower than in the second embodiment.

Another variant is as the sixth embodiment in 29 shown. The special feature is that two packing edges in the area of the rear wall 19 are formed as rectangular packing edges, whereas two packing edges adjacent the front wall 16 are formed in a special way, namely on the one hand as a round edge 57 as in the fourth embodiment and on the other hand as a beveled edge 59 as in the fifth embodiment.

interfaces 49 are each in the area of the round edge 57 and the beveled edge 59 arranged and formed as described above. In the area of the right-angled packing edges on both sides of the rear wall 19 are not intermediate surfaces 49 educated.

A seventh embodiment can be found in 30 and 31 as a modification of the first embodiment according to 1 to 12 , The difference is that multiple interfaces 49 are formed on top of each other on adjacent side walls.

The intermediate surfaces 49 are positioned with (even spacing) to each other, so that a piece of Längsfaltlinie between superposed intermediate surfaces 38 extends. Another difference is that even on the lid 12 an intermediate surface 49 is trained.

A modification of the above-described package 10 can be found in 32 as eighth embodiment. This is different from the pack 10 according to 30 in that the contour of the intermediate surfaces 49 not to common lateral ends 56 runs, but the lateral ends 56 are on the longitudinal fold line 38 arranged, however, with vertical distance to each other, so that the intermediate surfaces 49 have a hexagonal shape.

A ninth embodiment is in 33 to 42 as a modification of the first embodiment according to 1 to 12 shown. A special feature of the pack shown 10 or the corresponding blank 35 can be seen in the fact that the box front wall 18 has no rectangular shape, but by oblique longitudinal fold lines 38 is limited.

Furthermore, the four intermediate surfaces extend 49 from the transverse fold line 37 in the transition to the bottom wall 26 to the closing edge 15 of the box part 11 , so over the entire height of the same. According to the oblique course of the closing edge 15 This results in a greater height of the intermediate surfaces 49 adjacent to the back wall 19 compared to the intermediate surfaces 49 adjacent to the front wall 16 ,

In comparison with the first embodiment, the cover front wall is shown 17 a smaller width, whereas the partial side walls 29 are widened. The box front wall 18 is starting from the closing edge 15 on both sides by divergent longitudinal fold lines 38 limited, about half the height of the box front wall 18 converging to the transverse fold line 37 in the transition to the bottom wall 26 run. There shows the box front wall 18 the same width as in the area of the upper closing edge 15 ,

Due to the oblique longitudinal fold line 38 between the pack front wall 16 and the adjacent partial sidewalls 29 . 33 results for these side walls a correspondingly different shape with a bent longitudinal fold line 38 , In addition, not only the interfaces 49 deviating from the course of the respective side walls, but also the respective approximately triangular sections of the partial side wall 29 . 33 outside the interface 49 ,

The intermediate surfaces 49 lie with their lateral corners 56 on the bent longitudinal fold lines 38 , namely halfway up the box front wall 18 in the break point of the longitudinal fold lines 38 ,

The lid 12 the pack 10 has no interfaces as in the first embodiment 49 but according to the shape of the box part 11 only a narrower lid front wall 17 and lid rear wall 20 as well as wider partial sidewalls 29 . 33 ,

Both the contour of the intermediate surfaces 49 as well as the longitudinal fold lines 38 are according to 41 and 42 through cuts 53 limited. As in all embodiments, the angles between the adjacent side walls are 135 ° or more.

It is understood that in the context of the described embodiments, combinations of individual features are conceivable. For example, a lenticular interface can be used in other forms of packaging and vice versa. Furthermore, within the same pack 10 both lenticular and diamond-shaped intermediate surfaces 49 be provided. It is also conceivable to provide intermediate surfaces only in the region of the front wall or the rear wall. Also conceivable are depressions only adjacent to a narrow side wall. Furthermore, it is possible to provide intermediate surfaces on the lid. Furthermore, the contour of the intermediate surfaces 49 deviate, for example, diamond with (concave or convex) curved transition lines 50 , Furthermore, of course, the dimensions of the interface 49 vary, as the embodiments show.

Basically it can be displayed the intermediate surfaces 49 so to arrange or train that the horizontal circumference of the pack 10 about the height of the pack 10 differ as little as possible. In the case of strongly fluctuating circumferential dimensions, it may happen that the usual outer casing-for example a transparent cellophane film-does not lie smoothly or wrinkle-free, even if a certain compensation of different circumferential dimensions can be achieved by shrinkage of the outer casing. It is therefore advantageous if the intermediate surfaces 49 are positioned and / or dimensioned such that the circumferential dimensions do not fluctuate too much. So can the size and / or width and / or position of the intermediate surfaces 49 be chosen so that the proportion of intermediate surfaces 49 on the circumferential dimension of the pack 10 about the height of the pack 10 only slightly different.
