Description

These The invention relates to the field of the food-producing industry and relates to the manufacture and packaging of tobacco individual products.

State of technology

The most common types of tobacco individual products are cigarettes, at least partially made of finely cut tobacco, the one in thin Paper ("tissue paper") is rolled up.

Here and further down in the description, claims and abstract includes the term "cigarette" unless otherwise stated one of them, which is very popular in Russia and called "Papyroce" Papyroce has an area about one third of the length of the Payroce, which is filled with finely chopped tobacco, and has another Range with about two-thirds of the length of the Payroce in the essentially from an empty paper tube with or without filtering Substances that are rolled up in the tissue paper. Of the Part of Papyroce with the paper tube serves as a mouthpiece.

A slightly less widespread type of tobacco individual products Cigarettes made from compact rolls of tobacco leaves.

The The simplest cigarette is made entirely of finely cut tobacco, the rolled up in tissue paper.

Further Common types of cigarettes are only partially with finely chopped Filled tobacco and are with an end portion in the form of a nicotine filter or mouthpiece Mistake.

cigarettes, made from finely chopped tobacco are for bulk consumer tobacco products, which are consumed relatively quickly. They become retailers usually packaged in packs that contain no less than ten pieces. Cigars made of compact rolls of tobacco leaves are concerned Single tobacco products for a rather limited need, which is consumed relatively slowly. For the retail trade They are usually in pieces or packaged in packs containing three to five pieces.

Tobacco products, which contain an area that does not contain finely chopped tobacco filled is, are placed in a pack (oriented) that exactly these areas after opening the Pack accessible become.

Indeed Some people think tobacco products are more appropriate to place in a package such that areas of tobacco individual products After opening accessible to the pack should be filled with tobacco are. In such a case, the tobacco individual product will be off taken from the common pack by the tobacco-filled area touched and the likely contamination of areas that are the lips touch a consumer, is prevented (see the Russian patent application by Burchu V.I. et al., "Method of Cigarettes Packing in a Pack ", No. 94023179/13, IPC B 65 B 19/22, published March, 1996).

For the same purpose, it has been proposed to cover the cigarette area which is touched with fingers when being removed from the common package, by a hygienic protection in the form of a cartridge or cap, which is easy to remove before use should. The sanitary protection may cover the part of the curved cigarette surface which is adjacent to the end region, or it may cover the end region with the adjacent curved surface (see the Russian patent for Chachaturov Ju.R., "Cigarette"). RU 2061396 , IPC A 24 D 1/100, published June 1996).

In the simplest cases Tobacco products such as cigarettes are packaged directly in packs, but in most cases The cigarettes, which make up the contents of the pack, have an extra lapping, which is common to the entire content or part of the content. Such an individual wrapping is usually off a sheet or a film made. The additional lapping can be considered as an element of common packaging.

Separate Cigars can rolled up on all sides in separate wrappings, the are made of a material that is denser than the tissue paper, e.g. from cellophane.

There is a patent for a process for packaging tobacco individual products and a corresponding tobacco single product. With respect to a group of individual tobacco products, such as cigarettes, it is characterized in that they are additionally rolled into a common wrapping of a paper or similar loose bandage such that each individual product appears to be placed in a separate compartment, not with others (See US Patent to Mikhail AG "Individually Wrapped Cigarettes in Cigarette Pack or Box"). US 5005698 , IPC B 65 D 85/10, Nat.Cl. 206/257, published April, 1991).

Each such individual tray with a Ta The bakery product is separated from the next compartment by a sealing seam which hermetically seals the corresponding compartment, and by longitudinal perforation lines which allow a single tobacco product to be separated, with the next bins containing other tobacco products not being opened.

The described method for packaging tobacco individual products allows it to preserve its aroma and freshness.

In In this case, each individual tobacco product can be considered as the constituent Element of a set of unitary products which: to be and should be encompassed by the continuous, common wrapping should not be considered as an individual, independent entity.

Another method for protecting tobacco products, in particular cigars, against quality-reducing effects of unfavorable atmospheric conditions is in the US 2559000 described. The patent specification states that an aromatic material is used for the packaging of cigars. This aromatic material is made of wood, especially cedar wood. So far, it has not been found that, according to this known teaching disadvantages occur when the packaging is made with an aromatic material having a flavor that is completely different from that of a tobacco. In this respect, the process leads to cigar packaging according to the US 25599000 to a Tabakge nut, which is influenced in a negative way, as far as the aroma of the tobacco is mixed with a strange fragrance.

The Design of the common packaging of a group of tobacco products and its elements has been in the process of manufacturing development improved.

For example, a method for packaging groups of cigarettes in common sheet envelopes has been described, which provides for the formation of overlapping envelope seams on the narrow lateral portions such that the movable lateral seams slope, which increases the width of the frontal portion of the envelope (see US Pat Inventor Certificate of the Soviet Union SU 456402 the Maschinenfabrik FR Nipman & Co., "Method of Cigarette Packing in a Foil Envelope", IPC B 65 D 85/10, published May 1975).

It has been proposed to make the upper part of a common enclosure for a group of tobacco products separable from the lower part of the enclosure remaining in the package. For this purpose, a perforation line is provided between these parts of the wrapping (cf the European patent of Alcan Deutschland GmbH, "Packaging for Cigarettes, Cigars, or similar", EP 0620166 , IPC B 65 D 85/10, published in 1997).

For the use of packages of individual tobacco products as information carriers, principally for advertising purposes, it has been proposed to place in a package containing a group of tobacco products, alongside a common wrapping, an extra sheet (insert) bearing appropriate information on the surface, such as text or Pictures (see eg the German patent DE 4122999 , IPC B 65 D 85/10, 1991; the British patent GB 533033 , IPC B 65 D 85/10; or the European patent of Minarelli Alessandro, "Cigarette Packet", EP 0655174 , IPC B 65 D 85/10, published in 1997).

It has been proposed to apply the same information for the same purpose to the upper part of the common wrapping of a group of tobacco products, which becomes accessible to the consumer after opening such a package of tobacco products (see the European patent by Focke & Co ., "Package for Cigarettes as well as a Web of Materials for Producing an Inner Enclosure for It", EP 0646531 , IPC B 65 D 85/10, published in 1997).

The appropriate information may also be placed on a separable element added to the co-wrapping of individual tobacco products, which becomes accessible to view when the package is opened (see European Patent EP 0476882 , IPC B 65 D 85/10, 1992).

Consequently The known tobacco individual products have the inherently classic Shapes and the known methods for their packaging provide placement of such products directly in a package.

in the Tobacco products, such as cigarettes, can all be or part of such products additionally in common wrappings However, occasionally each product may be placed with the individual wrapping be covered. In the case of tobacco products such as cigars, each of them can be in a single or individual before lapping which covers this product from all sides.

In other words, those tobacco products which are at least partially made from finely chopped tobacco and placed in the wrapping of tissue paper have u. In addition, only such individual wrappings, which only partially cover the corresponding product. Only tobacco products made from compact Rolls made of tobacco leaves may have individual wrappings that cover the corresponding product from all sides.

In all cases the individual or individual envelopes cover the corresponding ones Tobacco products partly or completely, are made of uniformly colored and made of homogeneous material, without any picture on their surfaces.

common and single wrappings all known tobacco individual products are made of a material that in density may differ, however, are in appearance identical.

Known Procedures of packaging of tobacco individual products see for placing in a common packaging identical only in their appearance Tobacco products.

The known and previously described ways of using tobacco products, which the minimum tradable units are carriers of information, mainly for promotional purposes, placing this information on elements a common packaging of tobacco products or on the separate wrappings (Inserts) which are placed in a package but not on the tobacco products even.

In the current one Time in the advertising business is well developed, which ensures Existence of advertising texts on packaging elements of tobacco products possibly none particularly effective positive influence to the consumer demand to increase tobacco products, carry advertising messages compared to tobacco products, who do not carry such messages.

The Efficiency of advertising depends essentially from their repeatability. At the same time, the constant Presence of the same advertising text on packaging of tobacco products let normal consumers emotionally indifferent to advertising or can even cause irritation.

Of the mainly The purpose of the present invention is to provide tobacco retail products making it more attractive and increasing consumer demand, at the same time improving their properties for the consumer become.

Summary the invention

Of the The purpose pursued is by covering the tobacco individual products by single wrappings achieved, which are made of material whose surface in the most cases Pictures or representations in the form of texts and / or illustrations wearing, the for a consumer should be attractive. At least part of the Tobacco products placed in common packaging, should be covered by single wrappings and at least part of this wrapping should have surfaces, to carry the pictures. Such images should be in the preferred mode of Implementation of the procedure should not be identical. The additional lapping has a flavor that corresponds to that of the corresponding tobacco, the one for the Production of tobacco products is used.

Separate envelopings can the associated Covering products either partially or on all sides, they form a closed space within the single enclosure. One of the single wrappings formed cavity can be tight (hermetic).

Here and below means the "single Serving "an serving that a finished tobacco product already covered in tissue paper (if present), that is the appropriate shape of the product causes and supports.

According to the invention can Tobacco products from finely chopped tobacco Single wrappings that necessarily carry pictures on their surfaces, when these wrappings Only partially cover products, and can carry pictures on their surfaces or not, when covering the products from all sides.

The Tobacco products that are compact rolls of tobacco leaves, can single wrappings that necessarily carry pictures on their surfaces, when these wrappings cover the products from all sides, and can carry pictures on their surfaces or not wear, if these wraps cover the products only partially.

Of the Difference of this claimed invention to all known in observance of the above conditions.

The 1 to 4 show schematically the different types of patented tobacco products: a papyroce ( 1 ), a traditional cigarette without the filter ( 2 ), a traditional cigarette with the filter ( 3 ) and a cigar ( 4 ). These figures illustrate one of the possible modes of implementation of the invention.

Cigarettes have a part filled with finely chopped tobacco 1 , a mouthpiece part 2 or nicotine filter 3 on. They are with a wrapping 4 covered in tissue paper which evokes and supports the traditional form of these products. Cigars are made entirely from compact rolls of tobacco leaves 5 produced.

Each product is additionally on all sides with a single or individual wrapping 6 covered, the size of which slightly exceeds the dimension of the product itself.

5 shows the unfolded surface of the outer part of the single wrapper 6 , Images or representations 7 are placed on the surface, which can be texts and / or illustrations.

6 shows the individual packaging 8th of cigarettes 9 with filters in single envelopes 4 are placed, their unfolded surfaces 10 . 11 . 12 not identical pictures 13 . 14 . 15 wear.

With "tobacco individual products" are in the context of this Invention meant cigarettes, cigars and similar products.

The individual shell or individual or individual wrapping should be an associated tobacco product cover, preferably from all sides, creating a closed inside Space is created. The wrapping should be made of a material that is denser than that Tissue paper.

images or representations placed on a surface of the single envelope are, can in the form of texts that relate to perception and graphic Representation be consistent, the attention of a consumer attract attention and his (her) interest and positive emotions trigger through their content and form.

The Main principle to attract the attention of consumers to pictures or representations on individual housings of tobacco products (and accordingly to the products themselves) to steer exists in entertaining these representations from the consumer's point of view, interesting and useful close. This can be achieved by the content of the pictures.

images with merely decorative character can as auxiliary elements of Designs of a single wrap surface used become.

Within the limits of the present invention, "text" means the independent image or independent representation, the one carrying readable information, the at least one part a material surface occupies. "Figure" means all others independent Pictures or representations except the text-based.

Of the Text can be an informational, entertaining, instructive, exercising or otherwise containing the interest and can cause positive emotions of the consumer.

The Texts can z. For example, puzzles, Proverbs, sayings, Aphorisms, inscriptions, wishes, farewell words and the like contain texts.

pictures can z. To be puzzles, puzzles, Chess tasks and etudes or joking questions. The opposite surface of the wrapping can Keywords and answers to the tasks.

The Pictures taken on a single-wrap surface The separate tobacco products are placed essentially not be identical. They should be renewed regularly.

Except by the unequal images on the surfaces may be the single envelopes differ from each other also by color and texture.

such single or single wrappings can be Have flavor of the corresponding tobacco brand.

Tobacco products, which are placed in single envelopes which form the tightly closed internal spaces can be sterilized be, for example, over Irradiation methods.

The proposed methods of packaging tobacco individual products involves placing a number of tobacco individual products in a common packaging. At least parts of the products be previously in single wrappings placed. At least a portion of the wraps have surfaces, the images or representations in the form of illustrations and / or To carry texts.

It is desirable that pictures on the surfaces of single wrappings of tobacco individual products placed in common packaging are packed, preferably would not be equal.

Of the optimal mode of realization of the proposed method looks that such tobacco individual products are in common packaging which are covered with single covers only have uneven pictures on their surfaces.

A Selection and non-repeatability of information on surfaces of the individual shells are placed for attractive to the average consumer would be one constitute an essential stimulus to the purchase of tobacco products according to the present Invention are made.

detailed Description of the invention

Tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars and the like are currently in placed on common packaging, traditionally identical Have manifestations. This means that z. B. any Cigarette in a pack does not differ in any way different cigarette this pack differs.

The basic inventive idea, which is the basis of this invention is, the identical qualities of all tobacco individual products obtained in a common packaging, and at least parts of tobacco products have unequal appearance to give.

These Idea is realized in tobacco individual products, which additionally by Single wrappings a material which is preferably denser than the tissue paper is. The outer surfaces of the additional individual shells preferably carry pictures or representations in the form of texts and / or Illustrations of a kind for a consumer would be attractive. At least part of the individual housings of tobacco products, which are placed in a common packaging carries pictures on their surfaces; the pictures should preferably be unequal.

The The proposed single tobacco product is a product that is at least partially made of (cut tobacco, rolled up in tissue paper, and that in addition covered with a single cladding is. Or it is a product that is a compact roll of tobacco leaves, which is also covered with a Einzeleinhüllung.

The individual shell covered u. U. tobacco Einzelzeugzeugnisse only partially (the curved surface along all or part of the length of the product, one terminating from one of the flat end surfaces or not final) or completely cover tobacco individual products (all surfaces, including the end surfaces), the latter being preferable.

The Tobacco product may be single-serving with one or more Layers are covered; the wrapping Can be attached to the product or can be freely created.

Around the tobacco product in a convenient way out of the single serving remove, it is desirable that wrapping should be made of a material that is denser as the tissue paper. A paper-based material is preferable but any other material can be used, in particular It can be cellophane or foil.

Covered the single serving the tobacco single product complete, the dimension of the wrapping should be the Exceed the dimension of the tobacco individual product, so as to open the individual shell to allow yourself to touch without touching the tobacco individual product, and to free it from the individual wrapping to be able to remove.

Covered the single serving the product from all sides, the closed cavity is created, which can be dense (hermetic).

It is desirable that images or representations on the individual or individual Wrapping surface or should be placed on a part of it. The pictures should in the form of illustrations and / or texts relating to perception and graphical representation be executed uniformly, its contents and Form attract the attention of a consumer and give him positive emotions can effect.

It There are several modes of the embodiment of the Invention relating to various tobacco individual products.

The tabacco products formed from finely chopped tobacco can individual shells with or without images on the surfaces of the wrappings to have.

Cover the individual servings the products only partially the wrappings pictures wear.

Cover the individual servings the products from all sides, the pictures on the surfaces of the envelopings present or not.

The Tobacco products consisting of compact rolls of tobacco leaves, should by the individual wrapping be covered or not wear pictures on their surfaces.

Cover the individual servings of such products the products only partially, may Pictures on the surfaces the wrappings present or not.

Cover the individual servings the products from all sides, the pictures on the surfaces of the envelopings available.

The Distinguishing this claimed invention from all others consists in observing the above conditions.

Known Tobacco products made from finely chopped tobacco may be single-wrapped partially covering the product, but none Pictures on their surfaces wear; and the well-known tobacco products, the compact rolls of tobacco leaves are, can individual shells which cover the product from all sides, but which do not wear pictures on the surfaces. At the same time, tobacco products are made from finely chopped tobacco, by single wrappings be covered from all sides, and tobacco products, the compact Rolls of tobacco leaves are, which are only partially covered with individual wrappings, at all not described.

One Special semantic content is the main characteristic of Pictures on surfaces of single wrappings. It is the basic element that is called to the attractiveness of the product to increase.

The Images or representations, which can be texts and / or illustrations, should positively influence the mood of the consumer; they should be useful, interesting and attractive for be him.

Of the Text may include information that is educational, entertaining, are instructive, referring or of another nature, the be received in a positive way by a consumer and cause positive emotions in the consumer.

Especially can Proverbs, sayings, aphorisms, short poems or fragments of poetry or prose are quoted interesting facts and considerations can be given, hints can to be given, wishes and farewell words can expressed become.

pictures can e.g. To be puzzles, puzzles, Chess tasks and openings or joking questions.

The rear surface of the Wrapping can Keywords or answers for Duties carry statements that relate to authorship and titles to refer to literary works that (or their fragments) the front surface of the lapping are placed.

The Representations on surfaces single wrappings of tobacco individual products can take pictures decorative nature included to the pictures, the semantic sense carry, enrich.

Template, Vignettes, ornaments, abstract figures, other works decorative Kind of can as the images or representations of decorative nature are used.

It can Pictures on surfaces individual or individual casings of tobacco individual products present, which at the same time contain texts and illustrations.

Separate or individual wrappings can have different colors and (or) textures; they can Aroma like the corresponding brand of tobacco have.

Covered the single serving the tobacco single product from all sides and seal it off, can one such product by sterilizing agents, for example a radiation procedure, sterilized.

The proposed methods of packaging tobacco individual products is that a number of tobacco individual products in one common packaging is placed. At least part of the tobacco individual products is placed in individual or individual wrappings. At least Parts of the wrappings carry pictures or representations in the form of illustrations and / or texts with content for a consumer should be attractive.

The proposed method of packaging should be considered as that it can also be used in a case when a minimum Part of packaged tobacco product by tobacco single products represents is that of individual servings are covered, as described above.

With in other words, either part or all of the tobacco individual products in the common packing should be covered by the individual wrappings be.

It is desirable that surfaces of the individual servings of tobacco individual products packed in a common package are, can carry uneven pictures.

According to one preferred mode of implementation of the method must be surfaces of individual envelopes of packaged tobacco products in a single package carry unequal images or representations.

Image inequality means non-coincidence the complete corresponding pictures, although separate elements of the Pictures can coincide.

• – mindestens ein Bild auf einer Oberfläche der individuellen Einhüllung eines Tabakerzeugnisses in einer gemeinsamen Verpackung ist nicht wiederholt:
• – die Bilder auf den Oberflächen der einzelnen Einhüllungen eines jeden Tabakerzeugnisses in einer gemeinsamen Packung werden nicht wiederholt.

It is within the purview of this invention that the requirements of "image inequality" are equally met under the following conditions:

• - at least one image on a surface of the individual wrapping of a tobacco product in a common packaging is not repeated:
• - the images on the surfaces of the individual wraps of each tobacco product in a common package are not repeated.

It It is preferred that the images on surfaces of the individual envelopes tobacco products in a common packaging would be logically connected, e.g. by means of a common idea, a common object or with something else in the same way.

The Principle of inequality of images on surfaces of individual envelopes of tobacco products, which in the basis of the proposed Ideally, has the purpose of making a consumer, using any tobacco product, receiving different information that on surfaces individual wrappings are placed. The consumer buys the next joint pack of such Products, would he (she) the block piece on tobacco products, their individual wrappings Would carry pictures, which are different from images that are more individual on surfaces envelopings in the past received packs are placed.

It is possible, just the chance to minimize that a consumer repeats Tobacco products with identical images on surfaces of individual envelopings buys.

It is possible, for this purpose, in particular to limit the quantity of goods, the identical series of images or representations on individual wrappings of tobacco products, and periodically renew these images.

Of the sees preferred implementation mode of the proposed method placing in a common packaging of only such products ago, by additional individual wrappings are covered, with the wrappings themselves have non-repeating images on their surfaces.

The Principles for Making Packages of Tobacco Products, the single wrappings with Pictures on their surfaces can have may vary, in particular they are thematic or current.

packs with tobacco products intended for the For example, sales are scheduled for mass sports events, can an information on surfaces individual wrappings of tobacco products have the history of the corresponding Sport, prominent sports people or sporting achievements gambling Teams concerned.

packs with tobacco products, for example, in elite institutions can be distributed on the surfaces single wrappings an information about high-class experts, such as e.g. Lawyers, doctors, hairdressers, hairdressers, Veterinarians, masseurs, Jewelers and other experts, other services offer, carry. Such information should not be advertised, but have an indicative character.

Of the Mode of packaging of tobacco individual products has certain advantages, if products on all sides by multicolored single wrappings are covered and placed in a pack in a manner are that the head parts of products with a different Color after opening make the packaging a pattern.

Become Products that have undergone sterilization, in a common Packed, it makes sense to pack only sterile products to fill.

The Essence of the proposed invention is characterized by the following Examples illustrate, but not limiting Have character.

Example 1.

One Single tobacco product that is a cigarette without nicotine filter, made of finely chopped tobacco in tissue paper is rolled up, which in addition with an individual wrapping covered with a material that is denser than the tissue paper. The additional Single wrap covered the product from all sides. The dimensions of the individual wrapping exceed the dimensions of the product so that the cigarette after opening the lapping free from the extra individual shell can be removed.

The individual shell was painted and part of its outer surface carries the textual Fragment, which was one of the proverbs about the work.

cigarettes, each of which was covered by such additional individual wrapping, were in a common packaging in such a way packed that in each pack of cigarettes with single wrappings different colors were, and the proverbs repeated on their surfaces not.

The placed on the single-wrap surfaces Information becomes accessible to sight after cigarette withdrawal, and after the wrapping had been unfolded.

Example 2.

One Part of a Papyroce tobacco product was partially off made of finely cut tobacco, which is rolled up in tissue paper was. It had a mouthpiece area, which is free from tobacco. The product was additionally enriched by the single wrapping of a Covered material, which is denser than the tissue paper. The additional lapping was in direct contact with the tissue paper wrapping. The papyroce was by single serving almost on all curved surfaces covered and on a front side of the mouthpiece area. A Papyroce frontal on the side of the area filled with tobacco, and an adjacent one Area of the lateral part remained free of the wrapping, and this free part is used to remove the papyroce from the single wrapper.

The individual shell covers the Papyroce with several layers, the number of which Extent of information depends the on his surface are placed. An outer layer the single serving was fixed by glue drops. The wrapping with such Training stays in shape and opens not spontaneous during a storage.

The lapping was painted and had a flavor of that brand of tobacco that had been used to prepare the given papyrocene. All its outer sides wore pictures that were a picture puzzle.

The Papyrocen, each of which is supplemented by such individual shell was covered in a common packaging in such a way Ways placed in a packaging papyroccene with individual envelopings different colors were included and the picture puzzles that were on their surfaces were placed, not repeated.

The on the individual wrappings placed information becomes the sight after taking out The Papyroce and removing a frontal part of the cladding accessible and after the wrapping had been unfolded.

Examples.

One Tobacco single product containing a cigarette with a nicotine filter is partially made of finely cut tobacco, rolled in Tissue paper, formed; it ended with the nicotine filter. The cigarette was through an additional individual shell covered with a material that was denser than the tissue paper. The additional individual shell cover the cigarette from all sides, including both Ends. The dimension of the additional envelope exceeds the dimension of the cigarette so as to remove the end part of the lapping to allow the cigarette is not touched, and free from the individual shell is removable, which covers the cigarette in several layers.

The lapping can be painted or not; its outer surface should be the text and the corresponding Image bear the signs regarding concerning the weather.

each Cigarette was made by the additional individual lapping covered. They were placed in a common package so that end faces of individual wrappings of different color formed a pattern which looks like after opening the Pack accessible and the individual pictures on the wrappings did not repeat themselves.

The on a surface the single serving placed information becomes the sight after removing the cigarette and removing both end caps of the wrapper, and after the wrapping unfolds had been.

Example 4.

One made of compact rolls of tobacco leaves Tobacco product was covered with the single wrap of a material, which is denser than the tissue paper. An individual wrapper covered the cigar from all sides, including both ends. The Dimensions of the single envelope exceeded the dimensions of the cigar, so removing the end pieces the wrapping to allow the cigar to not be touched, and to keep it free the single serving refer to.

The external surface a wrapping Wore a text, such as a short poem, and the back page the wrapping carried an information regarding the author and the title of the poem.

The wrapping edges were patterned for all wrappings of products made in a common packaging are placed, which is the same.

The Cigars, each of which is covered with an individual wrapping was placed in a common packaging. The poems, the on the surfaces of the individual servings products were placed in the common package, repeated not.

The placed on the single-wrap surfaces Information becomes apparent after the cigar is removed the wrapping and the removal of both end portions of the wrapper accessible, and after the wrapping unfolds had been.

Example 5.

One Tobacco single product containing a cigarette with a nicotine filter is partially made of finely cut tobacco, rolled in Tissue paper, formed. It ended with the Niktotinfilter. The cigarette was additionally through an individual wrapping covered by a material that is denser than the tissue paper.

The additional individual shell covers a cigarette from all sides, including both ends, in such a way that a sealed cavity in the interior is produced.

The Dimensions of the additional Cladding excel the dimensions of the cigarette so as to remove the end faces the wrapping without a touch to allow the cigarette and to enable that the cigarette is removed freely from the single wrapper.

such, with single wrappings Covered cigarettes were exposed to radiation sterilization.

The common packaging was exclusively with the sterilized Cigarettes filled, which were placed in the sealed individual shells.

Above differences in the claimed products were indicated, nd although with respect to previously known products, the first individual envelopings have that partially or completely cover the corresponding products.

The Differences exist first in that the known single wrappings do not have any Pictures on the surfaces the wrappings carry, especially the images of such character as they for the claimed products.

• – das vorgeschlagene Verfahren zur Verpackung von Tabakerzeugnissen sieht das Platzieren einzelner Erzeugnisse in einer jeden separaten Verpackung vor, die zusätzlich mit individuellen Einhüllungen versehen sind. Diese Einhüllungen können unterschiedliche Farben und Texturen haben. Sie können auf der Oberfläche nicht-identische Bilder tragen. Das bekannte Verfahren zur Verpackung sieht im Gegensatz dazu vor, dass in einer separaten Verpackung des Blockes einzelner und vollständig identischer Tabakerzeugnisse von der gemeinsamen zusätzlichen Einhüllung umfasst werden;
• – das vorgeschlagene Erzeugnis ist ein Einzelerzeugnis, es weist zusätzlich eine Einzeleinhüllung auf, während die in dem bekannten Verfahren beschriebenen Erzeugnisse Blockerzeugnisse sind, die von einer gemeinsamen kontinuierlichen Einhüllung umgeben sind;
• – das vorgeschlagene Erzeugnis sieht eine Möglichkeit des Vorhandenseins der individuellen Einhüllung vor, die ein Erzeugnis von allen Seiten bedeckt, oder es nur teilweise bedeckt. Erzeugnisse, die in dem bekannten Verfahren beschrieben werden, sehen im Gegensatz dazu nur die Möglichkeit des Vorhandenseins der zusätzlichen gemeinsamen Einhüllung vor, die jedes von dem Block von Erzeugnissen von allen Seiten bedeckt;
• – das vorgeschlagene Erzeugnis trägt auf den Einzeleinhüllungs-Oberflächen ein Bild bzw. eine Darstellung, wie etwa eine Abbildung oder einen Text. Es finden sich keine derartigen Bilder auf den Erzeugnissen, die im Rahmen der Offenbarung des bekannten Verfahrens beschrieben sind;
• – das vorgeschlagene Erzeugnis kann steril gemacht werden. Seine Einzeleinhüllung kann mit einem Aroma der entsprechenden Art des Tabaks versehen werden. Derartige Möglichkeiten sind in dem offenbarten bekannten Verfahren nicht beschrieben.

Thus, Applicant's suggestion differs from the aforementioned invention described in US Pat US 5005698 is described, in that:

• - The proposed process for packaging tobacco products provides for the placing of individual products in each separate packaging, which are additionally provided with individual wrappings. These wrappings can have different colors and textures. You can wear non-identical images on the surface. The known method of packaging, in contrast, provides that in a separate package of the block of individual and completely identical tobacco products are included by the common additional wrapping;
• - the proposed product is a single product, it additionally has a single envelope, whereas the products described in the known process are block products surrounded by a common continuous envelope;
• - the proposed product provides a possibility of the presence of the individual wrapping which covers a product from all sides, or covers it only partially. By contrast, products described in the known method provide only the possibility of having the additional common envelope covering each of the block of products from all sides;
• - the proposed product carries a picture or a representation, such as a picture or a text, on the single-shell surfaces. There are no such images on the products described in the disclosure of the known method;
• - the proposed product can be sterilized. Its single serving can be provided with a flavor of the corresponding kind of tobacco. Such possibilities are not described in the disclosed known method.

The individual shell, which covers every tobacco product proposed meets two Functions: On the one hand, it prevents a loss of aroma of the product or product, it also prevents pollution, Shrinking or dampening, and on the other hand creates it extra Surfaces, which are the useful ones Information on how the texts and (or) illustrations can be carried. Thus, the single envelope is a functional element of the product and at the same time an information carrier. Various Calls, for example, they can carry the same information no functional elements of such products.

Next the aspect that the presence of the single cladding on each individual product allows the scope of information substantially to increase, The information can be more accessible, original and entertaining form.

• – Vielfalt, Nicht-Wiederholbarkeit, Erhältlichkeit, Attraktivität der Informationen in Form von Bildern bzw. Darstellungen, die auf den Oberflächen der einzelnen Tabakerzeugnisse platziert sind, werden einen Verbraucher veranlassen, derartige Erzeugnisse anstatt der Erzeugnisse, die keine derartigen Bilder aufweisen, zu kaufen;
• – unterschiedliche Farben, Texturen, Aromen, die zusätzlich allen oder einigen Einzeleinhüllungen gegeben werden, welche die Tabakerzeugnisse bedecken, ergeben ein zusätzliches Element der Vielfalt in äußerer Erscheinungsweise der Tabakeinzelerzeudnisse, die in gemeinsamer Verpackung platziert sind, welche die Wirkungen ihrer Attraktivität steigern;
• – die Möglichkeit der Sterilisation von Tabakeinzelerzeugnissen und die Möglichkeit, sie steril zu halten, und zwar sogar nach der Öffnung der gemeinsamen Verpackung, wird die Aufmerksamkeit von Rauchern auf sich ziehen, insbesondere von solchen, die auf ihre Gesundheit achten.

With the present use of the present invention, it seems possible to increase the competitiveness of tobacco individual products made according to this invention because:
