14 a detail of the device according to 13 on an enlarged scale.

The invention will be described below with reference to various embodiments, which are based on a package 10 of the type folding box (Hinge-Lid-Packung) refer to cigarettes. It is explicitly pointed out that the invention may also relate to other types of packs for cigarettes.

The in the 1 to 5 shown pack 10 consists of a box part 11 and a pivotable in the area of a rear wall 12 of the box part 11 attached lid 13 , The box part 11 also consists of a (lower) bottom wall 14 and an (upright) front wall 15 , the back wall 12 is opposite. side walls 16 . 17 connect back wall 12 and front wall 15 with each other and are overlapping, inner and outer side lobes 18 . 19 educated. The lid 13 also consists of front wall 20 , Rear wall 21 , Front wall 30 and sidewalls 22 . 23 , The side walls 22 . 23 of the lid 13 are also overlapping, inner and outer side lobes 24 . 25 educated.

Another component of the pack 10 is a collar 26 in a special configuration. Basic components of the collar 26 are a front wall 27 on the front wall 15 of the box part 11 is present and optionally connected to this by gluing. Furthermore belong to the collar 26 side walls 28 extending along side walls 16 . 17 of the box part 11 extend. One from the box part 11 outstanding upper area of the collar 26 is through the lid 13 in the closed position of the pack 10 enclosed.

The thus formed, cuboid pack 10 Made of thin cardboard is particularly suitable for receiving cigarettes or other rod-shaped objects. The cigarettes are formed as a cigarette group and are surrounded by an inner cut, for example, from Stanniol. It creates a cigarette block 29 , The cigarette group or the cigarette block 29 is formed in the embodiment shown substantially cuboid, so with a rectangular cross-section.

A special feature is the dimensions of the cigarette block 29 , The dimensions (width, height, depth) namely at least partially do not correspond to the corresponding dimensions of the interior of the box part 11 or the package 10 so that without countermeasures a cavity would be created, or the cigarette block 29 not safe or proper in the box part 11 would be held. Accordingly, at least one dimension of the cigarette block 49 smaller than a corresponding dimension of the interior of the box part 11 or the package 10 ,

Unless, in the context of this application, it is pointed out that the dimensions (of cigarette block 29 on the one hand and the interior of the box part 11 or the package 10 On the other hand), this does not refer to the usual deviations that are usually present in the course of dimensional and manufacturing tolerances or for the purpose of simple removal of the cigarettes, but to deviations that go beyond this measure.

Rather, the invention relates to deviations in the dimensions resulting from that within the package 10 one or more cigarette blocks 29 Accommodate, which have a smaller package content due to the number and / or dimensions of the cigarettes than in such packages 10 common, so that there are significant dimensional differences that must be appropriately balanced to the cigarette block 29 despite the different dimensions, safe in the package 10 take.

To reduce the depth of the box part 11 becomes the front wall 27 of the collar 26 along two fold lines 31 . 32 folded. The fold lines 31 . 32 extend here transversely to an imaginary upright longitudinal axis of the collar 26 or the package 10 ,

The fold lines 31 . 32 divide the front wall 27 in three sections, namely an upper section 34 , a middle connecting section 35 and a lower section 36 , The three sections become such around the fold lines 31 . 32 folded that section 34 inside on the front wall 15 of the box part 11 whereas the section 36 parallel to the section 34 but at a distance from the front wall 15 of the box part 11 is arranged, and wherein the distance by the corresponding dimension of the connecting portion 35 results. The front wall 27 of the collar 26 is therefore Z-shaped around the fold lines 31 . 32 folded. The connecting section 35 is transverse to the two sections 34 . 36 directed. Preferably, the fold lines 31 . 32 formed as perforation lines.

It is understood that the collar 26 Of course, more than two folding lines 31 . 32 may have, so that a different folding of the front wall 27 of the collar 26 results. For example, it is conceivable that a plurality of mutually spaced sections 34 on the inside of the front wall 15 of the box part 11 abut and / or that a plurality of each spaced apart sections 36 at a distance from the front wall 15 of the box part 11 are arranged.

To the front wall 27 of the collar 26 To be able to fold in the manner shown, are also separating cuts 37 between the front wall 27 and the two side walls 28 intended. The cuts 37 extend at least partially along the fold line 38 between front wall 27 and the two side walls 28 each from the first fold line 31 to the bottom 39 of the collar 26 , In the area of a top 40 of the collar 26 is a common recess 41 Molded to make cigarettes easier to pack 10 to be able to remove. On both sides of the recess 41 are so-called lid brakes 42 arranged.

Another special feature concerns measures to secure the Z-folding of the front wall 27 of the collar 26 , This can be in the range of one or from both side walls 28 of the collar 26 a holding means 43 be arranged.

The cigarette block 29 is preferably additionally in its position in the box part 11 secured, for example by gluing to the rear wall 12 of the box part 11 or by gluing to the side walls 28 of the box part 11 or the collar 26 or by gluing to the section 36 of the collar 26 ,

The holding means 43 are by folding flaps 48 formed in the sidewalls 28 of the collar 26 are formed.

The folding flaps 48 are limited on the one hand by the separating cut 37 , as well as on the other hand by another separation cut 49 , each extending in extension of the fold line 31 in the side walls 28 of the collar 26 extends, as well as continue a fold line 50 extending from the lateral free end of the separating cut 49 parallel to the separating cut 49 towards the bottom 39 of the collar 26 extends. Accordingly, the folding flaps 48 each through the separating cuts 37 . 49 and the fold line 50 limited.

A special feature is that the two folding flaps 48 have different dimensions, namely a different width. While in 4 shown left flaps 48 has a constant width and thus a substantially rectangular shape over its height, is the right folding flap 48 (partially) formed with a larger width.

In an upper section, in this case, at the height of the section 35 is located, the right folding flap points 48 the same width as the left folder 48 on. Below is the cut 37 designed so that the right folding flap 48 has a greater width than in the overlying section. The width of the right folding flap 48 in the lower section is also larger than the width of the left Faltlappens 48 ,

The resulting from the different width advantage in the production of the package 10 becomes clear in connection with the device described below.

Alternatively, it is of course also conceivable that the right folding flap 48 total (continuous or over the entire height) a greater width than the left folder 48 having.

The folding flaps 48 are each around the fold line 50 to the interior of the box part 11 or to the section 36 pivoted out of the collar, leaving a free edge of the flaps 48 that by the severance cut 49 is formed, the underside of the connecting portion 35 lies linearly and supports this. In this way, as in the other embodiments, it is possible to prevent the Z-folding of the collar 26 by the restoring forces of the material of the collar 26 get lost.

The folding of the folding flaps 48 may preferably after placing the collar 26 on the cigarette block 29 done, for example, by folding organs, the side against the folding flaps 48 be moved to this towards or towards the section 36 fold over, as shown schematically in 2 and 5 shown.

In a Zwischenfaltschritt according to 5 are the inner side lobes 19 the side walls 16 . 17 of the box part 11 already folded against the contents of the package, or erected. In this Zwischenfaltstellung the folding flaps 48 of the collar 26 Being able to fold are in the inner side lobes 19 the side walls 16 . 17 corresponding folding flaps 52 by separating cuts 53 and a fold line 54 formed together with the flaps 48 be folded over. The corresponding resulting recess in the inner side lobe 19 is doing later through the outer side lobe 18 the side walls 16 . 17 covered. Both the folding flaps 48 as well as the folding flaps 52 lie with a top edge on the underside of the connecting section 35 and support this.

The cut 51 ( 3 ) is otherwise like a standard blank for a Hinge-Lid pack 10 built up. In addition to the already described walls shows 19 nor the location of folding flaps 55 . 56 . 57 that at the folded pack 10 on the inside of the bottom wall 14 , the box part 11 or the front wall 20 or end wall 30 of the lid 13 issue.

It is understood that on the folding flaps 52 in the side lobes 18 can also be waived if the folding flaps 48 be folded over before cigarette block 29 and collar 26 with the cut 51 be merged, or if the folding of folding flaps 49 done before the inner side lobes 18 to be raised. Furthermore, it is also conceivable at the location of the folding flaps 52 corresponding recesses in the inner lateral lobes 18 provided.

Furthermore, it is provided that the cigarette block 29 in each case only in one dimension of the corresponding dimensions of the interior of the box part 11 deviates, namely in the depth. But it can be natural that the dimensions of the cigarette block 29 in more than one dimension or direction of the corresponding dimensions of the interior of the box part 11 differ.

Furthermore, make sure that the cigarette blocks 29 should preferably have a greater width than depth in order to properly perform the folding of the inner blank in the top.

The contents of the pack may in principle be cigarettes of normal dimensions, or even cigarettes of smaller diameter than normal cigarettes, namely so-called slim or superslim cigarettes.

Hereinafter, the method briefly described above or the associated apparatus for producing such packages in detail with reference to the 6 to 14 described. Show 6 to 12 a first embodiment and 13 and 14 a second embodiment.

First embodiment (FIGS. 6 to 12):

A cigarette group 33 is by means of a driver 44 along a cigarette path 45 transported. The driver 44 lies on the back of the cigarette group 33 on, namely in the region of a front side thereof, so that the cigarettes of the cigarette group 33 be conveyed parallel to their longitudinal extent.

The cigarette group 33 is by means of the driver 44 through a mouthpiece 46 pushed. Following the mouthpiece 46 becomes the cigarette group 33 in the usual way in an inner blank 47 wrapped and while the cigarette block 29 educated.

The cigarette block 29 becomes a stage 58 fed. The stage 58 is already known in terms of the basic structure and operation of earlier applications of the applicant, which is why a detailed description of the structure and operation of the stage 58 is omitted at this point. Reference is made only to the fact that the stage 58 in transport direction according to arrow 59 is reciprocal to the distance between the cigarette web 45 and a folding turret 60 to bridge and the cigarette block 29 with collar 26 in a bag 61 the folding turret 60 introduce.

The collars 26 are also in a known manner from a continuous web 62 separated and in the area of a collar track 63 across the cigarette path 45 each one cigarette block 29 supplied and placed on this. After that, become a cigarette block 29 and collar 26 in a known manner by a rotary Einschieber 64 in the field of the stage 58 in a bag 61 the folding turret 60 inserted.

Also, the structure of the folding turret 60 is formed in large parts as usual in the art. The blanks 51 are fed unfolded to a feed station and by means of a punch 65 in a bag 61 the folding turret 60 stamped, with a partial folding of the blank 51 is effected, namely substantially corresponding 5 So with erect side lobes 19 and upright bottom wall 14 as well as front wall 15 , The folding turret 60 is then cyclically moved one position further. In the next station, an inner lid flap is opened by means of a corresponding organ 66 folded. In the following station (insertion station) will be a cigarette block 29 and a collar 26 in the partially folded blank 51 inserted.

Furthermore, in the area of the plug-in station or the stage 58 swivel collar folds 67 arranged to fold over the side walls 28 of the collar 26 serve. With the help of collar folds 67 become the sidewalls 28 against corresponding narrow sides of the cigarette block 29 folded.

In addition, in the area of the insertion station of the bag 61 the folding turret 60 a so-called collar presser 68 assigned. Also the collar impress 68 is basically already known from the prior art and serves the collar 26 in the bag 61 against the cigarette block 29 to press. For this purpose, the collar impresses 68 via a folding arm 69 from the top of the collar 26 is placed in the bag 61 to press. At the end of the folding arm 69 is still an angled lead folding 70 arranged in the area of the rear end face of the cigarette block 29 for attachment to the collar 26 is brought to position this.

As a special feature is in the field of insertion station of the bag 61 a folding organ 71 assigned, which in the supply of the collar 26 or the cigarette block 29 to the bag 61 Ensures that the front wall 27 of the collar 26 in the Z-shaped folding position according to 5 is brought, in which the collar 26 the different dimensions of the depth of the interior of the box part 11 and the depth of the cigarette block 29 balances.

The folding organ 71 becomes an attachment to the front wall 27 of the collar 26 brought, namely below the fold line 31 so the section 35 about 90 ° opposite the section 34 folded down. Furthermore, the folding organ lies 71 at the section 36 and pushes it against the cigarette block 29 so that a re-folding results by about 90 °. This will ensure that the collar 26 is properly folded into the Z-shaped folding position.

Furthermore, it is provided that the collar 26 through the folding organ 71 held in the folded position until the holding means 43 namely the folding flaps 48 at least partially to secure the folding position against the cigarette block 29 folded.

For folding over a first folding flap 48 is a stationary folding switch 72 provided as a folding organ, located above the pockets 61 on the revolver 60 located and extends along the further transport path. In particular 10 shows, the pleat splitter extends 72 until over the edge of the bag 61 in the insertion station, so almost immediately at the beginning of the rotation of the folding turret 60 a folding flap lying forward in the conveying direction 48 through the Faltweiche 72 grasped and folded over so that the folding position of the collar 26 is stabilized.

In doing so, one makes use of the circumstance that the folding flap which lies in the conveying direction at the front 48 has a greater width or height than the rear flap in the conveying direction 48 , In this way, only the front in the conveying direction folding flaps 48 through the Faltweiche 72 whereas, in the conveying direction, the rear flaps 48 not through the pleated mesh 72 is detected.

The other folder 48 is through another folding organ 73 folded. The folding organ 73 is designed as a rotating folding organ, which is on the circumference of the folding turret 60 is arranged. With a curved folding leg 74 of the folding organ 73 doing this, the folding over of the shorter folding flap 48 ,

How out 6 and 7 can be seen, extends the pleat 72 over several stations of the folding turret 60 , In addition, by a correspondingly contoured underside of the Faltweiche 72 the folding flap 48 initially prefolded and then completely folded.

The folding organ 73 is in the embodiment shown in the immediately following the insertion station station. It is understood, however, that both the folding organ 73 as well as the Faltweiche 72 further downstream on the folding turret 60 can be arranged. Optionally, then the folding organ 71 removed from the plug-in station and arranged further downstream.

It should also be noted that in the present case together with the folding flaps 48 each of the folding flaps 52 be folded, that is, in each case a folding flap 48 and the associated folding flap 52 together by a common folding organ, namely Faltweiche 72 or folding organ 73 be folded.

Especially 8th and 9 show that the folding organ 71 is designed as a separate folding organ. However, it is also conceivable that the folding organ 71 firmly on the collar impresser 68 is arranged or formed so that no separate folding member is used to the collar 26 to fold in the Z-shaped folding position, but that this by a suitably trained collar indentor 68 takes place, which has a corresponding folding organ.

In addition, show 8th and 9 even more components of the known folding platform, namely a moth 75 , a suboptera 76 , a control lever 77 for the moth 75 , as well as a corner flap butterfly 78 ,

Second embodiment (FIGS. 13 and 14):

The second embodiment according to 13 and 14 differs from the first embodiment essentially by the construction of the folding organs for folding the folding tabs 48 . 52 ,

Every bag 61 the folding turret 60 are two hook-like folding organs 79 assigned to the side in the pockets 61 can be moved to the folds 48 . 52 fold over and the Z-shaped folding position of the collar 26 to secure.

The construction and operation of the folding organs 79 results from the earlier patent application of the Applicant according to DE 10 2010 018 238 A1 which is referred to for the purpose of complete disclosure.

The solution used in the present case essentially corresponds to that in 7 the older application shown variant.
