Description

The present invention relates to an inner collar for storing goods, in particular rod-shaped goods such as cigarettes, tobacco sticks and the like, comprising a front wall, side walls that are connected to the front wall via bending lines, and at least one access and viewing recess in the area of the front wall. The invention also relates to a packaging for storing goods, in particular rod-shaped goods such as cigarettes, tobacco sticks and the like.

Such inner collars and packaging are known in a large number. In particular, these packagings are hinged boxes, which are a widespread form of packaging for cigarettes and the like. That's how they describe DE 694 18 258 T2 and the DE 101 06 549 A1 such packaging in the form of a prismatic body along its longitudinal axis, a lid being articulated to a container-like receiving area. These packagings usually have a so-called collar or inner collar (“inner frame”), which is designed as a separate element and is introduced into the receiving area of the packaging. The collar partially protrudes from that of the packaging and has an engagement and viewing recess formed at the edge on a collar front side which is partially aligned with a front side of the receiving area.

However, the disadvantage of these known inner collars and packaging is that with known inner collars of this type, only the front side of the inner collar in particular is available for printing and / or attaching design surfaces and / or advertising surfaces and / or advertising messages, which is significantly reduced in size by the engagement and viewing recess becomes.

It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a generic inner collar and a packaging which ensures improved options for attaching imprints and / or design areas and / or advertising areas and / or advertising messages or the like with improved functionality.

An inner collar with the features of protection claim 1 and a packaging inner collar with the features of protection claim 15 serve to solve these tasks. Advantageous embodiments of the inner collar and the packaging according to the invention are described in the respective subclaims. Advantageous configurations of the inner collar are to be regarded as advantageous configurations of the packaging and vice versa.

A first aspect of the invention relates to an inner collar for packaging for storing goods, in particular rod-shaped goods such as cigarettes, tobacco sticks and the like, comprising a front wall, side walls that are connected to the front wall via bending lines and at least one access and viewing recess in the area the front wall. In this case, the front wall has at least one wall element that is at least partially detachably connected to the front wall, the wall element being designed in such a way that it at least partially covers the engagement and viewing recess.

The inventive design of the inner collar with the additional wall element at least partially covering the engagement and viewing troughs results in an inner collar which ensures improved options for attaching imprints and / or design surfaces and / or advertising spaces and / or advertising messages or the like. The additional wall element results in additional display and advertising options that complement or replace the design or advertising messages on the front of the container-like receiving area of the packaging.

In further advantageous refinements of the invention, the inner collar has a wall element which is connected to the front wall of the inner collar via a bending line and laterally adjoining cutting or perforation lines. However, there is also the possibility that the wall element which at least partially covers the access and viewing troughs is connected to the front wall via a continuous perforation line. Advantageously, there is thus the possibility that the wall element can be moved, for example, over the bending line so that the engagement and viewing recess is released. The wall element is delimited laterally by cutting or perforation lines which enable the wall element to be released from the front wall of the inner collar. But there is also the possibility that the wall element is connected to the front wall of the inner collar via a continuous perforation line and can thus be detached as a whole and permanently. In this embodiment there is, for example, the possibility that the separated wall element can be used as a voucher, business card or the like. The invention thus also guarantees increased functionality of this element of the inner collar.

In further advantageous embodiments of the inner collar according to the invention, at least one further wall element is articulated to the wall element which at least partially conceals the engagement and viewing troughs on the side opposite the front wall of the inner collar. Through the The formation of a further additional wall element results in further possibilities for applying imprints and / or design surfaces and / or advertising surfaces and / or advertising messages or the like. The area for such presentations is significantly increased. In addition, there is the possibility that the further wall element is designed in such a way that, when the inner collar is attached in the packaging, it latches with a latching element and / or an inside of a cover construction of the packaging when the packaging is closed. In this case, the further wall element can be designed, for example, as a latching tab extending over the entire side of the wall element opposite the front wall or at least in some areas. The latching element of the cover construction can be formed by means of a terminating edge of an inner cover wall of the cover construction and / or at least one recess formed in an inner cover wall. Furthermore, there is the possibility that at least one latching tab is formed on the first wall element to at least partially cover the access and viewing recess for locking with a lid construction of the packaging when the inner collar is attached in the packaging and when the packaging is closed. Furthermore, there is the possibility that on the further, second wall element, which is hinged to the first wall element, at least one latching tab is formed for locking with the lid construction of the packaging when the inner collar is attached in the packaging and when the packaging is closed. There is the possibility that the respective latching tab of the first and / or second wall element is designed in such a way that it engages with an end edge of an inner cover wall of the cover construction and / or at least one recess formed in an inner cover wall. Overall, the construction according to the invention can advantageously form a large number of latching options for the lid construction on the inner collar of the packaging. In addition to further supporting and retaining tabs of the inner collar, this not only results in a retention of the lid construction of the packaging but also a kind of safety lock which can only be released by exerting a force on the lid construction and a corresponding deformation of the locking means mentioned. This also significantly increases the functionality of the inner collar.

In further advantageous refinements of the inner collar according to the invention, at least partially a colored area and / or a shiny metallic colored area and / or at least one text, shape and / or motif area are on the outside and / or inside of the wall element and / or the further wall element educated. In addition, there is the possibility that a contour of the text, shape and / or motif surface is at least partially formed by means of at least one cutting line. There is also the possibility here that the text, shape and / or motif surface is produced by means of laser energy and / or by means of punching.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the packaging according to the invention, it can consist of paper, cardboard or plastic or a combination of these materials. Other suitable materials are also conceivable.

A second aspect of the invention relates to a packaging for storing goods, in particular rod-shaped goods such as cigarettes, tobacco sticks and the like, comprising a front wall and a rear wall, side walls connecting the front and rear walls, and a base construction for forming a storage space for the goods and a Lid construction comprising a lid front wall, a lid upper wall and a lid rear wall, the lid construction being articulated via a bending line to an end of the rear wall opposite the bottom construction. Furthermore, the packaging according to the invention comprises an inner collar arranged within the packaging according to the first aspect of the invention described above. Such packaging advantageously ensures that improved options for attaching imprints and / or design surfaces and / or advertising surfaces and / or advertising messages and the like are possible. The additional wall element of the inner collar results in additional display and advertising options that can supplement or replace the design or advertising messages on the front of the container-like receiving area of the packaging. The functionality of the packaging is also significantly increased due to the expanded latching possibilities of the lid construction of the packaging on the inner collar according to the first aspect of the invention.

Further features and their advantages can be found in the descriptions of the first aspect of the invention, with advantageous refinements of the first aspect of the invention being regarded as advantageous refinements of the second aspect of the invention and vice versa.

The 1 shows a schematically illustrated inner collar 10 according to a first embodiment. The inner collar 10 is designed for a packaging for storing goods, in particular rod-shaped goods such as cigarettes, tobacco sticks and the like. You can see that the inner collar 10 a front wall 12 , Side walls 14th , 16 and an access and viewing recess 22nd in the area of the front wall 12 having. The side walls 14th , 16 are about the bending lines 18th , 20th with the front wall 12 connected or hinged to this.

You can also see that the front wall 12 a partially detachable with the front wall 12 connected wall element 24 having, wherein the wall element 24 is designed such that it is the engagement and viewing trough 22nd completely covered. The wall element 24 is on the side, the front wall 12 adjacent areas using cutting lines 28 , 30th from the front wall 12 Cut. In a central area of the wall element 24 is the wall element 24 over a bending line 26th with the front wall 12 connected. In the illustrated embodiment, the bending line runs 26th approximately parallel to the longitudinal extension of the inner collar 10 . It becomes clear that the wall element 24 over the bending line 26th on the front wall 12 is articulated and accordingly around the axis of the bending line 26th is movable. Through the design of the wall element 24 the front surface of the inner collar increases 10 around the area of the access and viewing troughs formed in conventional inner collars 22nd . The access and viewing recess 22nd but does not lose its purpose, namely to ensure easier removal of the goods arranged in the packaging, since the wall element 24 in the illustrated embodiment can be moved forward, that is, out of the plane of the drawing of the figure. Due to the significantly enlarged front area of the inner collar 10 consisting of the front wall 12 and the wall element 24 there is a multitude of possibilities for applying prints and / or design surfaces and / or advertising surfaces and / or advertising messages or the like. The same naturally also applies to the rear side of the inner collar that is initially facing away from the viewer 10 .

You can also see that the bending lines 18th , 20th of the inner collar 10 at least partially by cutting lines 42 are interrupted. The cutting lines 42 form locking tabs 44 from that with an arrangement of the inner collar 10 come into contact within a packaging with the inside of a lid construction of the packaging and thus form a snap or friction lock. You can also see that on the side walls 14th , 16 via respective bending lines 38 , 40 Tabs 34 , 36 are arranged, which rest on an inside of a rear wall of the corresponding packaging and / or on a lid rear wall of the lid construction of the corresponding packaging.

In contrast to the in 1 The first embodiment shown here is, however, on the wall element 24 another second wall element 46 hinged. The linkage takes place via a bending line 80 that is roughly parallel to the bend line 26th runs and along the bend line 26th or the front wall 12 opposite side is formed. With the additional wall element 46 becomes the usable front surface of the inner collar 10 again clearly enlarged, as this is now through the front wall 12 , the wall element 24 as well as the additional wall element 46 is formed. The additional wall element 46 can also be used as a closure and / or latching element for a lid construction of a packaging, as in the following 5a and 5b shown.

With regard to the other features of the in 3 shown third embodiment of the inner collar 10 we refer to the description of these characteristics of the in 1 shown first embodiment of the inner collar 10 .

4th shows a schematic representation of an inner collar 10 according to a fourth embodiment. This fourth embodiment of the inner collar 10 corresponds to the in 3 shown third embodiment of the inner collar. In contrast, however, is the wall element 24 again by a continuous line of perforations 32 from the front wall 12 of the inner collar 10 connected. This means that the wall element 24 with the further wall element hinged to it 46 completely from the inner collar or the front wall 12 can be solved. Regarding the other features of the inner collar 10 According to the fourth embodiment, we refer to the descriptions of the previous embodiments, which have identical features.
