Abstract

A (cigarette) pack consists of an outer pack (12) in the form of a folding box and an inner pack (13) in the form of a sealing block. A formed cigarette group (34) is (immediately) surrounded by a Stanniolzuschnitt (48) to form a Stanniolblocks (57). This in turn is (partially) surrounded by an inner collar tray (64). The inner package (13) is created by a foil wrapping.

Description

The invention relates to packs for cigarettes or other smokers with the further features of the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to methods for producing cigarette packs and to devices for carrying out the method.

Usual cigarette packs consist of inner pack and outer pack. The former is a Stanniolblock, so a group of shaped cigarettes in a wrapper made of paper or Stanniol. The blank of the inner pack is folded to form overlapping folding flaps. The Stanniolblock is thus not sufficiently tight against moisture and aroma loss.

Cigarette packs are known with an inner pack in the version as a sealing block, which has a sealing foil surrounding the cigarette group. Sealing seams create a package which is largely dense against aroma and moisture losses. The sealing block is usually provided with an opening structure in which a fixed by gluing and repeatedly operable closure flap covers a removal opening of the sealing block in the closed position. Within the packing is often a support member - inner collar - arranged to protect the cigarettes against temperature and pressure during production of the sealing seams ( EP 2 826 724 A2 ).

A disadvantage of this sealing package is the risk that the package contents come into contact with adhesive directly or indirectly or with plastic particles due to the thermal sealing of the closure seams.

The invention has for its object, packages for sensitive goods, especially for cigarettes, form so that they on the one hand have a high degree of impermeability to moisture and aroma losses and beyond any health risk from the risk of contamination of the package contents with adhesive and / or Avoid plastic particles.

To solve this problem, the package according to the invention with the features of claim 1 is formed.

The cigarettes in the ordered formation of a cigarette group are surrounded by a customary inner blank, in particular made of tinfoil, paper or the like. A Stanniolzuschnitt can completely envelop the cigarette group by conventional or special folding. The resulting Stanniolblock is surrounded by a foil blank, preferably in the execution of a sealing foil, which has suitably produced by thermal sealing Veschlussnähte.

The sealing block is provided with a basically known opening aid, so with a locking tab. This is alternatively operated individually by hand via a suitably trained grip tab. Likewise, the Stanniolblock can be provided with a defined by weakening or perforation opening tab - Stanniollasche - which can also be operated due to appropriate design of the perforation (when first opening the pack) by hand. According to the invention, however, it is also provided that the closure flap of the sealing package is indirectly or directly, the latter by gluing, connected to the Stanniollasche, so when opening the seal by means of closure flap Stanniollasche also in the open position - and back to the closed position - is pulled.

Advantageously, a connection of the opening tab - via an attached to this operating tab - with the lid of an outer pack, in particular a folding box. When you press the lid so the outer pack is opened and at the same time pulled the locking tab in an open position, taking along the Stanniol-opening tab. When re-closing the lid, the closure flap is returned to the closed position, wherein a Stanniol opening and a sealing foil opening are covered as a common removal opening.

A preferably designed as a tray inner collar with inner front wall, inner side flap and inner bottom wall is disposed within the sealing block, preferably on the outside of the Stanniolblocks. The tray as inner collar is preferably in the in EP 2 826 724 A2 shown manner.

In the production of the pack, according to the invention, the cigarette or Stanniolblock is first manufactured, preferably such that a Stanniol end wall closed, that is formed without folding tabs and the usual folding is positioned in the region of a bottom wall. The Stanniolblock is then assembled with the inner collar to form a unit, in particular by insertion into an inner collar in the execution of a tray. The resulting unit is wrapped in a blank of a (sealing) film to form a sealing pack or a sealing block, wherein preferably the unit of Stanniolblock and tray transversely to the longitudinal direction of the cigarette is transported and continuously wrapped by a film web. The sealing packs are formed successively by transverse cutting in connection with the production of sealing seams. After completion of the Sealing block is an outer collar, so a collar of an outer pack in the execution as a folding box, placed on the sealing block, folded and then inserted into the partially folded outer pack.

When the sealing tab of the sealing block is connected to a cover of the outer package, the attachment of glue in the region of an actuating or connecting lobe of the closure flap is preferably carried out after completion of the sealing block (with locking tab), in particular after insertion of the sealing block (with outer collar) the partially folded outer pack, namely before the completion of the same or before folding the lid with the lid front wall in the packwise position.

The film web for the production of the sealing block is prepared in an unfolded configuration before being fed to the stanniol blocks (with inner collar). First, openings or holes are made by punching in the film web, which serve as a film-removal opening of the finished package. Thereafter, in the region of these openings or punched holes, the closing flap is attached to the film in the correct manner. Thereafter, this is supplied to the package contents.

The package shown serves to accommodate sensitive food or beverage, especially for receiving cigarettes 10 , especially with filters 11 , The pack consists in the basic structure of an outer pack 12 and an interior pack 13 , The outer pack 12 is preferably designed as a folding box with box part 14 and lid 15 ,

The folding box - preferably made of thin cardboard - has a standard basic structure. According to cut in 8th consists of the box part 14 from box front wall 16 , Box back wall 17 intermediate (outer) bottom wall 18 and side lobes 19 . 20 for the formation of (outer) side walls 21 ,

The lid 15 consists of cover front wall 22 , Lid rear wall 23 and (outer) end wall 24 , At a free edge of the lid front wall 22 there is a lid inner flap 25 that in the finished pack 12 against the inside of the lid front wall 22 folded. box part 14 and lid 15 are in the area of the back walls 17 . 23 through a line joint 26 pivotally connected to each other. Lid side walls 31 consist of lid side lobes 32 . 33 ,

Part of the outer pack 12 is an (outside) collar 27 preferably from a blank according to 9 , The (outer) collar 27 consists of collar front wall 28 and collar side lobes 29 , The collar front wall 28 is with a basically known, frontal recess 30 Mistake.

The inner pack 13 is preferably formed as a sealing block, consists of a flavor and moisture-tight foil blank, the package contents - a cigarette group 34 out of rows of cigarettes 10 - surrounds all sides to form an inner front wall 35 , an interior rear wall 36 , Interior side walls 37 , an interior end wall 38 and an interior bottom wall 39 , The wrapping of the inner pack 13 - Sealing block - preferably consists of a one-piece, elongated blank, which completely encloses the contents of the package to form sealing seams. Preferably, side seams 40 on both interior side walls 37 appropriate. Another seal is as a cross seam 41 formed and preferably in the region of the inner bottom wall 39 or - as in the embodiment shown in FIG 1 - as a cross seam 41 in the area of the inner rear wall 36 , about halfway up, attached. The seams 40 . 41 are preferably formed as a fin seam with two exposed layers of thermally sealable film. These are connected by heat and pressure. The resulting fin is preferably against the respective packing surface - inner side wall 37 , Interior rear wall 36 - transferred.

The inner pack 13 or the film envelope thereof forms an inner end wall 38 without folding flaps. In this area, an opening aid is arranged, which provides access to the package content and can be used multiple times. As opening and closing means is a locking tab 42 extending transversely across the inner end wall 38 extends and with an actuating leg 43 in a frontal area of the inner front wall 35 is extended. At the free end of the locking tab 42 or the thigh 43 is an actuating or connecting tab 44 educated. An anchoring leg 45 the locking tab 42 extends into the area of the inner rear wall 36 ,

The locking tab 42 opens and closes an opening - removal opening 46 - in the area of the front wall 38 and an adjacent area of the front wall 35 , In the closed position, the removal opening 46 through the locking tab 42 covered. This is designed to be larger and with a marginal strip 47 by means of adhesive with a removal opening 46 enclosing area of front wall 38 and front wall 35 sealingly connected.

The contents of the pack - cigarette group 34 Preferably it is completely or at least partially surrounded by a protective cover of neutral material, such as (coated) paper or, in particular, Stanniol, in relation to sensitive package contents. A blank for this inner wrapping - Stanniolzuschnitt 48 - is specially trained ( 5 ). A tinfoil end wall 49 is a closed wall - free of folding flaps. It connects to areas for a Stanniol front wall 50 and tinfoil back wall 51 , Transverse ground strips 52 following the front wall 50 on the one hand and back wall 51 on the other hand serve to form a Stanniol bottom wall 55 partially overlapping folding flaps. shoulder 53 on the sides of front wall 50 and back wall 51 form tinfoil sidewalls 56 , also by folding flaps with mutual overlap.

The categorized positioned cigarettes 10 existing cigarette group 34 - In this case with three rows - is of the thus formed Stanniolzuschnitt 48 wrapped to form a packing unit - Stanniolblock 57 , This is in an opening aid having overall package with a Stanniollasche 58 at least in the area of the Stanniol end wall 49 provided with the opening aid of the inner pack 13 or the sealing block cooperates. A weakening line, preferably a U-shaped perforation line 59 , limits the Stanniollasche 58 , The perforation line 59 is up to a frontal area of the Stanniol front wall 50 guided here and forms a transverse opening leg 60 , This is designed so that the separation of the Stanniollasche 58 from the composite with the Stanniolzuschnitt 48 when opening the Stanniollasche for the first time 58 is relieved. In particular, the opening leg 60 be formed as a continuous perforation line, with rounded end portions to parallel side legs 61 the perforation line 59 are guided.

The tinfoil block 57 is inside the sealing block, namely inside the inner packing 13 forming sealing film arranged so that the Stanniollasche 58 in the area of the closure flap 42 located. When operating the locking tab 42 , in particular with the help of the actuating leg 43 , the removal opening 46 created. When operating the locking tab 42 , in particular with the help of the actuating leg 43 , the removal opening 46 created. This arises in the area of the stanniol block 57 by cutting out the Stanniollasche 58 at least to one edge of the Stanniol end wall. Preferably, the Stanniollasche remains 58 also in open position in connection with the Stanniolblock 57 ,

The sealing block or the inner packing 13 may also have a (foil) opening tab with the locking tab 42 on the one hand and with the Stanniollasche 58 the other hand, so that both together through the locking tab 42 be pulled into the open position to form the discharge opening. Preferably, however, the package is designed so that the film of the interior package 13 for the formation of the removal opening one in the region of the sealing film blank, in particular in the region of a film web 62 created recess or opening 63 having, by a preferably closed punching - the film web 62 - Is created, preferably to form a piece of waste. The opening 63 is aligned with respect to the position on the Stanniollasche 58 so that the removal opening of the inner pack 13 on the one hand through the opening 63 and on the other hand through the created opening when pulling up the Stanniollasche 58 is formed. Preferably, the opening 63 slightly larger than the contour of the Stanniolblocks opening formed by the Stanniollasche 57 ,

To operate the Stanniollasche 58 this is preferably directly - by means of glue - on the inside of the closure flap 42 fixed, preferably by a full-surface adhesive coating the inside of the locking tab 42 , In the manufacture of the package is caused by local pressure force that the locking tab 42 Connection gets with the Stanniollasche 58 ,

The package is (optionally) provided with a protective or supporting member for the package contents, namely with an inner collar. This is preferably made of thin cardboard and is especially as a tray 64 ( 11 ) educated. The inner collar or tray 64 can be shaped in different ways. The present tray shape corresponds to the execution according to WO 2014/195016 A1 The tray preferably consists of a front wall 65 , This is located on the front wall of the pack or inner pack 13 , Laterally are with the front wall 65 transverse side bars 66 connected. Furthermore, with the front wall 65 a transverse tray tray 67 connected. This consists of a plurality of folding flaps, which are interconnected exclusively by the folding position, in this case additionally by a clip 68 placed on the inside of the tray tray 67 is arranged and by entering a locking slot 69 a bottom wall 70 and corner lobes 71 fixed in folded position.

A blank for the inner collar or tray 64 is from a continuous (cardboard) web 72 separated. In the area of the insertion flap 68 becomes a correspondingly contoured tray recess 73 created with the recess 30 of the (outer) collar 27 and with the (common) discharge opening 46 corresponds.

The inner collar or tray 64 can be inside the stanniol block 57 be arranged. It is advantageous, as shown, an arrangement of the Stanniolblocks 57 in the tray 64 ( 11 ), hence the tray on the outside of the Stanniolblocks 57 lies. The unit of Stanniolblock 57 and tray 64 is from the film blank to form the inner package 13 surround.

The operation of the opening aid, namely the locking tab 42 , can with the opening process of the outer pack 12 be coupled. For this purpose, the operating lobe 44 the locking tab 42 with the lid 15 connected to the folding box. When opening the lid 15 ( 3 ) is therefore also the locking tab 42 - In particular, taking along the Stanniollasche 58 - moved to the open position. Correspondingly reversed when closing the lid 15 the removal opening 46 closed, including the Stanniolöffnung, by the Stanniollasche 58 is covered.

A peculiarity independent of the present packing construction is the connection of the closing tab 42 or the connecting flap 44 with the inside of the lid front wall 22 , in particular with the lid inner flap 25 , This is with a (swiveling) connection tab 74 provided, preferably by punching as part of the lid inner flap 25 is trained. By a particular U-shaped punching the connecting strap 74 defined, with a preferably by weakening line formed hinge line 75 , This is arranged so that the connecting strap 74 with folded lid 15 in initial position is directed downward, the joint line 75 So on the front wall 24 facing side lies.

The locking tab 42 , in particular the connecting tabs 44 , is with the connection tab 74 connected, preferably on the inside of the inclined tab 74 So on the lid front wall 22 facing page. For this purpose is on the outside of the connecting lobe 44 Glue arranged, preferably a plurality of juxtaposed glue points 76 to the connection of the flap 44 with the connecting strap 74 , This is preferably at the completion of the folding box along the joint line 75 180 °, ie to the front wall 24 , directed ( 4 ). The folded connecting strap 74 is at the same height with the connecting tab 44 so that with the lid closed 15 the connection is made (permanently). During the opening process or in the open position, the connection tab arrives 74 in an inclined position, ie at an acute angle to the level of the lid inner flap 25 ( 2 ).

The manufacturing process for the package is also suitable for other forms of packaging, in particular as regards individual details.

In the manufacture of the package in the described or other embodiment is from a prepared (Stanniol-) blank 48 - with flat perforation line 59 - The Stanniolblock 57 by folding the blank 48 around the formed cigarette group 34 educated. Preferably, the folding process starts from the Stanniol end wall 49 starting. The cigarette group 34 will - with the filters 11 lying forward in the direction of transport - against the cut prepared in the transverse plane 48 moved so that this U-shaped around the cigarette group 34 around places. Thereafter, in the usual way, the Stanniol bottom wall 55 and the tinfoil sidewalls 56 folded.

Regardless of this, the inner collar, especially the tray 64 , namely, to form an inner collar with three-sided enclosure of the Stanniolblocks 57 , This will be on the open (front) in the tray 64 inserted ( 11 ), so one unit 77 from Stanniolblock 57 and (external) tray 64 is created. The strawberry 57 is preferably when merging with the tray 64 so arranged that the bottom wall 55 in the conveying direction is the front and the Stanniol back wall 51 points upwards, while the Stanniol front wall 50 on the front wall 65 of the tray is present.

The tinfoil blocks 57 or the units 77 are spaced at intervals in the packaging process to create the inner package 13 introduced. The units 77 become in transverse relative position ( 12 ) of a serving station 78 fed. In their area is preferably continuous transport - with respect to the opening aid of the sealing block - prepared film web 62 (from above) of the consecutive series of units 77 supplied and wrapped around it like a tube. The foil web 62 is sized in width so that at the bottom of the units 77 a supernatant to form the transverse seam 41 , initially as a continuous seam, arises.

In the area of a subsequent sealing station 79 be between successive units 77 by circulating sealing jaws 80 the side seams 40 produced. Due to the formation of the sealing jaws 80 become the seams 40 on neighboring units 77 or the sealing foils thereof. At the same time - by appropriate training of the sealing jaws 80 - A separation cut in the side seams 40 executed, so in this respect complete interior packs 13 in the execution as a sealing block arise.

Special Corner Butterfly 81 on both sides of the trajectory of the units 77 are in the area of the sealing station 79 effective to help in the formation of the side seams 40 resulting film wrapping in the area of inner end wall 38 and inside bottom wall 39 push inward so that these are from the areas of the inside sidewalls 37 are covered. The corner butterflies 81 are movable according to the illustrated path.

The foil web 62 becomes a preparation - with a transverse arrangement of the blanks for the inner pack 13 - first through a punching unit 82 passed. Punching or rolling 83 with punching blades produce positionally accurate openings 63 in the film web to form the removal opening 46 the pack. The control of these punching organs is done by print marks 84 , The foil web 62 with the openings 63 is redirected to a vertical strand. In this area are the locking tabs 42 to the film web 62 created, in exact relative position in the area of the openings 63 , The locking tabs 42 be on a carrier tape 85 fed and to the train 62 created. Optoelectronic sensors first check the exact formation and positioning of the opening 63 - Sensor 86 - and then the presence of the locking tab 42 in correct relative position - sensor 87 , The prepared film web 62 is then in the horizontal transport route for the units 77 diverted.

After the sealing station 79 become the created sealing packs or inner packings 13 subjected to further treatment. The preferably created by a further action of heat and pressure, wide side seams 40 be in a cutting station 88 edited to reduce the width of the fins, preferably by separating a marginal strip 89 each longitudinal side seam 40 especially during continuous transport. Preferably, the packs, or inner packs 13 during this processing (separating the marginal strip 89 ) so that they are longitudinally (the cigarettes 10 ), preferably with the inner bottom wall 39 lying in transport direction in front.

The change in the relative position of the packs 13 with respect to the transport direction, by rotation of the packs 13 or by transverse onward transport - change the transport direction by 90 ° - causes. The changed direction of movement arises in particular 13 as a continuation of the conveyor belt 12 ,

In the aforementioned transport orientation, the inner packs 13 a prepared, namely partially folded outer pack 12 fed in the execution as a folding box. During this transport, especially just before insertion into the outer pack 12 , the blanks are for (outer) collar 27 supplied, preferably transversely to the direction of movement of the inner packs 13 , The (unfolded) collar 27 be on top of the interior packs 13 - Interior front wall 35 - filed, such that the appropriately sized recess 30 the locking tab 42 , including connecting lugs 44 , leaves free. The collar side lobes 29 are then folded.

The inner pack 13 - including collar 27 - Is then over an open side of the partially folded blank of the outer pack 12 inserted into this. The cut of the outer pack 12 is in a folded position accordingly DE 2440006 A1 , The blank is therefore in an angular or L-shaped intermediate position in upright side lobes 20 and 33 , Also the bottom wall 18 with front wall 16 are raised.

After inserting the inner pack 13 ( 15 ) begins the completion of the outer pack 12 through the in 15 illustrated, successive folding steps. These are preferably in the range of a revolver with bags for the packs 12 . 13 or along a linear conveyor line, preferably also with pockets for each package.

A special feature is that the gluing of the connecting lobe 44 , in particular the attachment of the glue spots 76 occurs at a time when the inner pack 13 already in the outer pack 12 at the latest before completion of the lid 15 , In any case, the gluing needs 76 be attached before the lid front wall 22 (with lid inner lobes 25 folded into the (horizontal) end position. The gluing is therefore preferably in the region of the folding unit for the outer package 12 (Revolver).

Before folding the parts of the lid 15 will also be the connection tab 74 of the lid inner flap 25 in the connection position - 180 ° position - folded. This preserves the connection tab 74 of the lid 15 at the completion of the same directly connection with the connecting lobe 44 or with the gluing.

Deviating from the illustrated, preferred embodiment, different embodiments may be used in detail. Thus, the inner collar may be formed in a different design, in particular with a (partial) rear wall or as a simple frame. Furthermore, the inner collar, especially in the execution as a tray 64 , inside the tinfoil block 57 be arranged, ie in immediate enclosure of the cigarette group 34 and surrounded by the Stanniolzuschnitt 48 ,

The opening means for creating the (common) removal opening 46 can also be actuated individually, in particular also each by hand. Here is the connecting flap 44 the locking tab 42 Glue-free, so it can be designed as a grip tab for manual operation.

The opening tab of the Stanniol block 57 - Stanniollasche 58 - can be used as an alternative to the connection with the locking strap 42 also be individually operable. It is (by hand) the Stanniollasche 58 when first opened from the composite with the Stanniolblock 57 separated out.
