Description

The invention relates to a pack for products of the cigarette industry, with a cover which surrounds a group of products of the cigarette industry as the contents of the pack, preferably on all sides, the cover being formed from a blank made of a packaging material, and wherein folding flaps of the blank are connected to one another by seams, according to the preamble of claim 1.

The invention also relates to a method for producing such products in particular, according to the preamble of claim 15.

In the context of the application, products of the cigarette industry are understood to mean tobacco products such as cigarettes, cigarillos and the like, but also novel tobacco products such as heat-not-burn products or liquid carriers for e-cigarettes.

In general, there is a trend in the manufacture of packs for products in the cigarette industry to forego unnecessary packaging material as far as possible in the manufacture or construction and, in particular, to avoid the use of materials that cannot be recycled or that can only be recycled with difficulty or with increased effort. In this respect, increasing emphasis is being placed on producing packs from paper, cardboard or cardboard as far as possible and avoiding the use of plastics or aluminum (foils), for example.

Against this background, the invention is based on the object of further developing packs of the type mentioned at the beginning and proposing suitable methods for producing such packs, in particular with regard to improved manufacturability of the packs and / or with regard to an improved appearance of the packs.

A pack for solving this problem has the features of claim 1. It is accordingly provided that at least some seams are at least partially covered, preferably in each case by a cover formed by the blank for the envelope. In other words, it is proposed that several seams are at least partially covered by a common cover or by respective covers. The cover (s) are not formed by a separate cut, but rather by the cut for the envelope itself. Additional effort for the provision or handling of an additional cut is thus avoided. The cover can also ensure that a possible lid of the pack does not collide with the seams when it is closed, because these are held on the pack by the cover. In addition, it can be achieved by the cover that the seams are at least partially covered, which is beneficial to the appearance of the pack.

The usually essentially parallelepiped pack can be designed so that the envelope has a large front side, a corresponding opposite large rear side, narrow sides connecting the front and the rear side, and a bottom side and an opposite front side, the bottom side and the front side each on the front side , The rear side and the narrow sides adjoin, and a removal opening is or can be formed preferably in the area of the front side and / or the front side.

In a preferred embodiment it can be provided that the seams in the area of the opposite narrow sides are at least partially covered by a cover in each case.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the or each cover is formed by folding tabs of the blank for the envelope, in particular by upper and lower side cover flaps of the blank that at least partially overlap one another.

In particular, it can be provided that the or each cover in the region of the narrow sides is in each case at least partially connected to the folding tabs connected by the seams, in particular by gluing.

This can preferably be done in that the blank folded for the envelope has at least one folding flap on both sides of one or more walls to form the end wall, which is folded onto the seams on the narrow sides to at least partially cover the seams in the area of the narrow sides of the envelope.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention it can be provided that the envelope is arranged in an outer pack which has at least one preferably cup-shaped box part from which the package contents wrapped in the envelope protrude at least partially, and that the covers cover the seams of the envelope on the narrow sides cover at least partially in an area in which the seams are not covered by the box part.

This solution has the recognizable advantage that the seams are at least partially covered in the area with which the casing protrudes from the box part, that is in the area visible to the consumer.

A special feature can be that the blank for the envelope is formed according to the longitudinal winding principle and the blank folded to form the envelope has an overlap flap adjacent to a wall to form the rear side of the envelope, which is folded into the area of the front side and rests on the contents of the package , and that the blank folded to form the envelope has a connecting tab adjacent to a wall to form the front side of the envelope, which is folded into the area of the rear side of the envelope and there is bonded to the wall to form the rear side of the envelope.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the blank for the envelope is formed according to the longitudinal winding principle and has walls following one another in the longitudinal direction, which are separated from one another by fold lines and / or cut lines, namely an end wall, a front wall, a bottom wall and a rear wall, which are are located on corresponding side surfaces of the envelope, and that folding tabs are arranged on both sides of the front wall, the bottom wall and the rear wall, the folding tabs on both sides of the front wall and rear wall serving to form the seams in the area of the narrow sides.

Another special feature can be that an overlap tab is arranged following the rear wall, which serves to overlap with the front wall.

Furthermore, it can be provided that a connecting strap is arranged following the front wall, which serves to overlap and connect to the rear wall.

It is preferably provided that folding tabs are arranged on both sides of the end wall to form covers, namely upper side cover tabs. Furthermore, further folding flaps can be arranged on both sides of the overlap flap to form covers, namely lower side cover flaps.

In this constellation it can be provided that the side cover flaps are bonded to the casing in the area of the seams, whereby it is preferably provided that the upper side cover flaps and lower side cover flaps on the respective side surface are glued to the casing by one or more common points of glue.

The blank for the envelope is preferably formed on a paper basis, which preferably does not contain any plastic.

In particular, the blank can have a moisture-retaining barrier, for example a wax coating.

The folding flaps connected to one another in this way can form a fin seam. Alternatively, a connection of the folding flaps by crimping is also conceivable.

Furthermore, the outer pack can be designed in the manner of a hinge-lid pack with a pivotable lid. In this constellation, the cover (s) also has the advantage that there is no risk of the cover colliding with the fin seams in the area of the narrow sides when the cover is closed.

A conventional collar, which at least partially covers the seams or the cover, can also be arranged in the box part.

A method for solving the object mentioned at the beginning has the features of claim 15. It is accordingly provided that after at least some seams have been formed, these are at least partially covered by at least one cover, the at least one cover being formed by the blank for the envelope and being at least partially folded onto the seams.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the group of products is conveyed with their longitudinal extent pointing in the conveying direction along a conveying path that preferably extends in a straight line, and that the blank for the wrapping, starting from a bottom wall of the blank at the front in the conveying direction, is U-shaped around the group of Products is placed, and that folding tabs of the blank are then erected to form the at least one cover and folding tabs are brought into an overlapping position to form seams, in particular parallel to the conveying direction, while the group of products together with the blank in the conveying direction along the conveying path is promoted.

A special feature can be that the folding tabs of the blank for forming the at least one cover are erected during the transport of the group of products and the blank in the conveying direction along the conveying path in such a way that the formation of the seams is not impaired.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the folding flaps for forming the seams are brought into contact with one another during the transport of the group of products and the blank in the conveying direction along the conveying path and are connected to one another by forming seams and then folded against the side surfaces of the envelope.

In particular, it can be provided that folding flaps are then folded in the area of an end wall of the blank which is at the rear in the transport direction, in particular in the area of a platform adjoining the conveying path.

Furthermore, it can be provided that afterwards adhesive is applied to the connection of a connection tab arranged adjacent to the end wall with a rear wall of the blank, in particular in the area of a folding turret adjoining the platform.

Subsequently, it can be provided that adhesive for connecting the at least one cover to the envelope is applied to the folding tabs connected by seams, in particular in the area of a folding turret adjoining the platform, and that the or each cover is folded against the envelope and connected by means of the adhesive will.

Another special feature can consist in the fact that the connecting tab is then folded against the rear wall of the blank and is connected to it by gluing, in particular while the pack that has been completed to this point is pushed out from the folding turret. Alternatively, it can be provided that the connecting flap is then folded against the rear wall of the blank by means of a folding member and is connected to it by gluing, in particular in the area of a folding turret adjoining a platform before the completed pack is ejected from the folding turret.

The invention is explained below on the basis of a pack 10 for cigarettes, it being understood that, as mentioned at the beginning, other products of the cigarette industry can also be used. In this respect, the more general term products will be used below for cigarettes 11 used.

The package 10 has in the present embodiment an outer pack 12th and an inner pack 13th , as well as a collar 14th . There are the outer packaging 12th and the collar 14th optional and can also be designed or constructed in other ways or be absent.

The outer pack 12th is designed as a hinge-lid pack with a cup-shaped box part 15th and one pivotable on the box part 15th stored lid 16 . To stabilize the lid 16 in the closed position of the outer pack 12th is the collar 14th in the usual way in the box part 15th arranged.

The inner pack 13th is determined by the contents of the package, namely a group of products 11 , and a wrapper 17th formed who the cuboid group of products 11 surrounds or envelops. The wrapping 17th is made by folding a blank 18th to the group of products 11 formed and used to form seams 19th locked.

In order to enable access to the contents of the package, the cover 17th a removal opening 20th by means of a re-wearable and preferably multiple-actuated closure label 21 is lockable.

As 1 shows, the closure label can 21 permanently with the lid 16 the outer pack 12th be connected so that when the lid is opened or closed 16 automatically opens the removal opening 20th is exposed or closed. The closure label can preferably 21 consist of paper and be provided on the underside with an adhesive that can be actuated several times.

The removal opening 20th can be done through perforation cuts or scratches in the material of the cover 17th be limited. By permanent adhesion with the closure label 21 can be an area delimited by the perforation cuts or scoring when the closure label is used for the first time 21 be separated.

The wrapping 17th or the corresponding cut 18th can be made from a paper-based packaging material, preferably with a moisture-retaining barrier layer, such as a wax coating, being provided around the products 11 to protect.

The structure of the blank 18th results from 5 . Accordingly, the cut is 18th designed as a lengthwise wrapping blank and is wrapped in the longitudinal direction around the package contents (in contrast to a transverse winding blank, which is wrapped around the package contents transversely to the longitudinal direction).

• - eine Stirnwand 22 zur Bildung einer Stirnseite 35,
• - eine Vorderwand 23 zur Bildung einer Vorderseite 36,
• - eine Bodenwand 24 zur Bildung einer Bodenseite 37, und
• - eine Rückwand 25 zur Bildung eine Rückseite 38.

In the longitudinal direction of the blank 18th walls follow one another, which form corresponding sides of the envelope 17th serve and are separated from each other by folding lines:

• - an end wall 22nd to form an end face 35 ,
• - a front wall 23 to form a front 36 ,
• - a bottom wall 24 to form a bottom side 37 , and
• - a back wall 25th to form a back 38 .

Both sides of the front wall 23 and the back wall 25th folding flaps extend 26th , 27 those for the formation of narrow sides 39 , 40 to serve. More folding flaps 28 are arranged on both sides of the bottom wall and serve to form corner gussets of the envelope.

Folding flaps are of particular importance 29 on both sides of the front wall 22nd leading to the formation of a cover 30th to serve. The folding flaps 29 are about a fold line 31 with the front wall 22nd connected and through a die cut 32 from the folding flaps 26th , 27 separated. The folding flaps 29 are also referred to below as (upper) side cover flaps. As a counterpart to the upper side cover flaps, there are further folding flaps opposite 33 on the cut 18th formed, one on both sides of the rear wall 25th subsequent overlap flap 34 are arranged and are hereinafter referred to as (lower) side cover flaps.

Finally, the blank has 18th another one on the front wall 22nd subsequent (rear) connecting strap 41 .

The cut 18th is wrapped around the package contents as shown above, with the overlap flap 34 in the area of the front 35 under the front wall 22nd and the connecting strap 41 on the back 38 or the rear wall located there 25th is folded and is glued to this, for example by a glue track of glue points 42 , especially from hot glue dots.

In the area of the narrow sides 39 , 40 become the folding flaps 26th , 27 through seams 19th connected to each other to the wrapping 17th at least substantially close. Form-fitting or material-fitting connections, such as, for example, adhesive bonds, seals or connections by crimping, are conceivable here. In the present case, there are seams 19th shown, in the course of which the folding flaps 26th , 27 are connected to fin seams, which is done here by crimping. Other types of connection and seam formations are conceivable as explained. The interconnected folding flaps 26th , 27 are against the wrapping 17th placed or folded and can be secured in their position there by gluing.

A special feature is that the upper and lower side cover flaps act as a cover 30th on the seams 19th be folded. The side cover flaps thus serve to cover part of the seams 19th in the area of the two opposite narrow sides 39 , 40 . According to the arrangement of the folding flaps 29 , 33 these are each starting from the front side 35 in the two narrow sides 39 , 40 folded and fixed there preferably by gluing. In the present case, glue dots are used for this 43 that the side cover flaps together on the envelope 17th in the area of the narrow sides 39 , 40 attach.

1 shows that the collar provided there 14th or the collar side walls, the covers 30th and the seams 19th in the one from the box part 15th protruding area of the inner packing 13th cover up. But also without a collar 14th can the seams 19th through the covers 30th be covered in this area.

• Die quaderförmige Gruppe von Produkten 10 wird durch einen bereitgehaltenen Zuschnitt 18 hindurchbewegt, unter U-förmiger Faltung des Zuschnitts 18 um die Gruppe. Danach werden die oberen und unteren Seitenabdecklaschen hoch- bzw. runtergefaltet, die Eckzwickelfaltung durchgeführt und die Faltlappen 25, 26 zur Anlage aneinander gebracht. Im nächsten Schritt werden die Seitenabdecklaschen weiter umgelegt und die Flossennähte 19 im Bereich der Schmalseiten 39, 40 gebildet. Danach werden die Seitenabdecklaschen zurückbewegt und die Flossennähte 19 im Bereich der Schmalseiten 39, 40 umgelegt. Im nächsten Schritt wird die Überlappungslasche 34 zusammen mit den unteren Seitenabdecklaschen gefaltet, sodass die Überlappungslasche 34 gegen die Stirnseite der Gruppe von Produkten gefaltet ist. Dies erfolgt im Bereich der Bühne 50. Danach wird die Stirnwand 22 zusammen mit den oberen Seitenabdecklaschen heruntergefaltet und die soweit gefaltete Innenpackung 13 an eine Tasche eines Faltrevolvers 51 übergeben. Danach wird Klebstoff zunächst auf die Verbindungslasche 41 und dann im Bereich der Seitenabdecklaschen auf die Umhüllung 17 aufgetragen. Danach werden zunächst die Seitenabdecklaschen gefaltet und gleichzeitig die Verbindungslasche 41. Die Verbindungslasche 41 kann entweder beim Ausschub der soweit gefalteten Innenpackung 13 vom Faltrevolver 51 erfolgen oder durch ein separates Faltorgan im Anschluss im Bereich des Faltrevolvers 51 vor dem Ausschub der soweit fertiggestellten Packung 10 von Faltrevolver 51.

6th and 7th show the sequence of the individual steps of the corresponding folding:

• The cuboid group of products 10 is made by a cut piece that is kept ready 18th moved through, with U-shaped folding of the blank 18th around the group. Then the upper and lower side cover flaps are folded up or down, the corner gusset folds and the folding flaps 25th , 26th brought to the plant together. In the next step, the side flaps are folded over and the fin seams 19th in the area of the narrow sides 39 , 40 educated. Then the side flaps are moved back and the fin seams 19th in the area of the narrow sides 39 , 40 knocked down. The next step is the overlap flap 34 folded together with the lower side cover flaps so that the overlap flap 34 is folded against the face of the group of products. This is done in the area of the stage 50 . After that, the front wall 22nd Folded down together with the upper side flaps and the inner pack folded so far 13th to a pocket of a folding revolver 51 to hand over. After that, glue is first applied to the connecting tab 41 and then on the casing in the area of the side cover flaps 17th applied. Then the side cover flaps are first folded and at the same time the connecting flap 41 . The connecting strap 41 can either by pushing out the inner pack that has been folded so far 13th from the folding turret 51 take place or by a separate folding element afterwards in the area of the folding turret 51 before pushing out the pack that has been completed so far 10 of folding turret 51 .

A suitable device for performing the folding steps is described below with reference to the 8th until 20th described.

8th shows the basic structure of a device with a plunger 44 for pushing cigarettes out of a stream of cigarettes 45 and for insertion into a cigarette revolver 46 to form groups of cigarettes. Then one or more reels are used 47 Packaging material for wrapping 17th fed and in a cutting and winding station 48 isolated and wrapped around the group of cigarettes. A subsequent cigarette train 49 leads to a stage 50 , followed by a folding turret 51 is arranged. This section is the inner packing 13th folded and the seams 19th educated.

Then the inner pack arrives 13th in the area of a labeler 52 with one or more bobbins 53 for feeding the closure label 21 for inner packing 13th . Upstream and downstream of the feed of the closure labels 21 are turning stations 54 , 55 to rotate the inner pack 13th intended.

In the area of a subsequent stage 56 becomes the collar 14th for inner packing 13th added the over collar bobbins 57 or a collar apparatus known per se 58 provided.

Blanks for the outer pack are taken from a blank magazine 59 or a cutting machine 60 coming by means of a slap 61 in pockets of a folding revolver 62 introduced and there after feeding the inner pack 13th folded in a conventional manner. Via a cardboard web 63 the pack arrives 10 in two successive drying wheels 64 , 65 in which the glue joints of the outer pack 12th can dry.

• Eine Gruppe von Produkten 11 wird in bekannter Weise durch einen Mitnehmer 66 entlang einer Mitnehmerbahn 67 in Richtung eines Saugscheibenmesserblocks transportiert. Vor dem Zuführen der Gruppe wird ein Zuschnitt 18 in einer nicht gezeigten Schneidstation von einer Materialbahn abgeschnitten, die von der Bobine 47 stammt, und mittels Saugscheiben 68 in die Mitnehmerbahn 67 befördert. Die Gruppe wird mittels des Mitnehmers 66 durch ein Mundstück 69 geschoben, sodass die Gruppe am Austrittsende des Mundstücks 69 den von der Materialbahn abgetrennten Zuschnitt 18 etwa mittig und U-förmig mitnimmt.

9 until 14th show details of the device or individual process steps in detail:

• A group of products 11 is in a known manner by a driver 66 along a driving track 67 transported in the direction of a suction disc knife block. Before feeding the group, a blank is made 18th cut from a material web in a cutting station, not shown, which is taken from the reel 47 originates, and by means of suction pads 68 in the driving track 67 promoted. The group is by means of the carrier 66 through a mouthpiece 69 pushed so that the group is at the exit end of the mouthpiece 69 the cut cut from the material web 18th takes along approximately in the middle and U-shaped.

On both sides of the driving track 67 are corner gussets 70 arranged laterally in the carrier track 67 dip in and the V-shaped corner gusset folds in the area of the narrow sides 39 , 40 the wrapping 17th wrinkles.

Furthermore, the folding flaps 26th , 27 of the cut 18th along side flippers 71 shaped into a fin ( 11 ). The corner gusset 70 is moved out to the side before the folding flap 26th , 27 through the fin switches 71 to be brought together to the system.

Furthermore, the side of the driver track 67 Lateral flap butterflies 72 provided, which are set up to grasp the side cover flaps and up or down in an upper and insert the lower guide rail or switch ( 10 ).

The next step is to cut the group with 18th through a crimping station 73 guided, in which the two side fins form-fit by Krimpräder 74 get connected. The side cover flaps are guided by guides 75 further widened and at the Crimean Princes 74 passed ( 12th ).

Then in the lower area of the narrow sides 39 , 40 the wrapping hot glue points 43 or a line of glue can be applied to the fin seams on the narrow sides 39 , 40 to apply or firmly with the envelope 17th connect to ( 9 , 13th ).

The inner pack that has been completed so far 12th is at the end of the driving track 67 to the stage that can be moved back and forth in the transport direction 50 hand over which to hand over the inner pack 12th to a bag 79 of the subsequent folding turret 51 serves. While the stage is moving back 50 becomes the overlap flap 34 from an Unterfalter 76 folded up. This remains in this position until the front wall 22nd by an Oberfalter 77 is folded down and applied.

During the further movement of the stage to the bag 79 becomes the inner pack that has been folded so far 12th by the Oberfalter 77 through the stage 50 pierced and through a mouthpiece 78 in the pocket 79 pushed in ( 14th ).

The stage 50 and the mouthpiece 78 have a recess in the bottom area 80 ( 16 ). When piercing the inner pack 12th becomes the rear protruding connecting strap 41 through the recess 80 moved through, whereby the laterally protruding side cover flaps fold back when pushed through and are looped through on the side walls ( 15th ). During the subsequent rotation of the revolver 51 becomes the left pair of side cover flaps by means of a rotating side flap guide member 81 behind a guide 82 introduced. In the penultimate station of the revolver, the connecting strap hanging down is used 41 with hot glue dots 42 Mistake ( 17th ).

At the last station of the revolver 51 are at the end and above the bag 79 two more diagonally arranged glue valves 83 provided, which ensure the gluing of the side cover flaps. Valve tips of the glue valves 83 are positioned directly behind the side cover flaps, making the first point of glue 42 shortly after the revolver came to a standstill 51 can be applied ( 14th , 18th ).

To the glue valves 83 in the immediate vicinity of the inner pack 12th to position are the pockets 79 recessed in the upper area ( 19th ). When pushing out the inner pack 12th put two fixed folding thumbs or side walls of the conveyor belt over the protruding side cover flaps and press them against the narrow sides 39 , 40 the wrapping 17th . Additional glue dots are applied during the push-out movement ( 19th ).

The connecting flap hanging down 41 is folded over on the base plate or to the rear on the rear wall 25th the wrapping 17th folded and created. This is in the pocket below 79 a recess 80 provided, into which the rear connecting flap can fold ( 17th ).

The creation of the connecting strap 41 can also be achieved through active folding elements (U-folders) on the folding turret 51 take place directly. The glue would have to be applied accordingly before folding the connecting flap 41 performed (not shown).

In the further course the closure label can 21 on the inner pack 12th be applied. On the transport path between the folding turrets 51 , 62 becomes the rotation of the inner pack 12th by 180 ° as well as the optional application of the closure label 21 completed. Each inner pack is used for this 12th first rotated by 90 ° (first turning station 54 ). The inner pack then oriented transversely to the direction of transport 12th comes with a closure label 21 and then through two label folders 84 folded over. Furthermore, the inner pack 12th turned by another 90 ° (second turning station 55 ) and moved further in the transport direction. Here the collar can be placed on the side above the transport path in a known manner (collar apparatus with a cross push) 14th fed and together with the stage 56 into a pre-folded blank for the outer packaging of a pocket of the folding turret 62 be handed over ( 20th ).

Alternatively, a sealing station for the fins can be used instead of a crimping station 73 be provided. In this case the folding flaps would 26th , 27 the inner pack 12th be thermally connected. For this purpose, the cut 18th be provided with an already known sealing coating (over the entire surface or partially on the edges in the area of the folding flaps 26th , 27 ). A connection of the folding flaps 26th , 27 by applying cold glue is also conceivable.

The outer pack 12th is not limited to an HL pack. This can also be designed for other types of packaging, for example as shell & slide, side-slide packaging or even soft packaging.

In conclusion shows 21 another variant of the pack 12th with no closure label 21 is used. Instead it is the material of the cladding 17th in the area of a lower end of the removal opening 20th glued directly to the inside of the cover front wall. This variant of the pack also differs 12th from the first embodiment in that the collar 14th is missing.
