Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine quaderförmige Packung für Zigaretten, Zigarillos oder dergleichen, mit einer den Packungsinhalt aufnehmenden Innenumhüllung aus dünnem Verpackungsmaterial (Stanniol-Folie, Verbund-Folie, etc.) und einer Außenpackung (Klappschachtel) aus Papier, Pappe oder dergleichen, wobei die Innenumhüllung mit einem durch Material- überdeckung gebildeten Aufreißlappen zum Öffnen derselben versehen ist.The invention relates to a cuboid pack for cigarettes, cigarillos or the like, with an inner wrapping that absorbs the pack contents made of thin packaging material (tinfoil film, composite film, etc.) and an outer pack (hinged box) made of paper, cardboard or the like, the inner wrapping is provided with a tear-open flap formed by material overlap for opening the same.

Bei der Gestaltung von Zigarettenpackungen ist die Dichtigkeit derselben ein besonderes Thema, weil hiervon die Erhaltung der Qualität der Zigaretten über einen unter Umständen längeren Zeitraum bis zum Verbrauch abhängig ist. Konventionelle Packungen des hier angesprochenen Klappschachtel-Typs bestehen aus drei Zuschnitten, nämlich einer Innenumhüllung aus Stanniol, der eigentlichen Klappschachtel und einer Außenumhüllung aus Zellglas. Dieser komplexe Aufbau führt nicht zu einer feuchtigkeits- bzw. aromadichten Packung.When designing cigarette packs, the tightness of the packs is a special issue because the maintenance of the quality of the cigarettes over a possibly longer period of time depends on this. Conventional packs of the hinged box type mentioned here consist of three blanks, namely an inner wrapper made of tin foil, the actual hinged box and an outer wrapper made of cellophane. This complex structure does not lead to a moisture or aroma-tight package.

Grundsätzlich sind auch bereits Packungen bekannt, die durch thermische Verschweißung des Verpackungsmaterials (Verbundfolien) weitgehend luft- bzw. aromadicht gestaltet sind. Diese Packungen weichen jedoch von den herkömmlichen, eingeführten Packungskonstruktionen für Zigaretten ab. Darüber hinaus ist bei diesen bekannten Ausführungen mit Verbundfolien das Öffnen derselben für die Ingebrauchnahme des Packungsinhalts noch nicht befriedigend gelöst.In principle, packs are already known which are largely airtight or aroma-tight due to the thermal welding of the packaging material (composite films). However, these packs differ from the conventional pack designs for cigarettes that have been introduced. In addition, the opening of the same for the use of the package contents has not yet been satisfactorily resolved in these known designs with composite films.

In der US-A-33 92 901 wird eine quaderförmige Verpackung offenbart, die allerdings ohne Klappdeckel ausgeführt ist. Eine Innenumhüllung dieser bekannten Packung ist mit einer quaderförmigen Außenpackung im Bereich einer Verschlußlasche verbunden. Beide Zuschnitte (Innenumhüllung und Außenumhüllung) bilden eine gemeinsame, lange Verschlußlasche, die gegen die Stirnseite der Packung umgefaltet werden kann. Zum Öffnen wird die Verschlußlasche aufgerichtet. Ein am oberen bzw. freien Ende gebildeter Verschlußstreifen, der sowohl die Wandungen der Außenumhüllung wie auch die der Innenumhüllung umfaßt, wird vom übrigen Teil der Packung abgetrennt. Die Packung ist dadurch im vollen oberen Querschnitt offen.In US-A-33 92 901 a cuboid packaging is disclosed, but is designed without a hinged lid. An inner wrapping of this known pack is connected to a cuboid outer pack in the area of a closure flap. Both blanks (inner wrapping and outer wrapping) form a common, long sealing flap that can be folded over against the front of the pack. The opening flap is opened to open it. A sealing strip formed at the upper or free end, which comprises both the walls of the outer wrapper and that of the inner wrapper, is separated from the rest of the package. As a result, the pack is open in its full upper cross section.

Diese bekannte Packung kann aufgrund des abweichenden konstruktiven Aufbaus keinen Beitrag für die Gestaltung von (dichten) Packungen des Klappschachtel-Typs liefern.This known pack can make no contribution to the design of (sealed) packs of the hinged box type due to the different construction.

. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine quaderförmige Packung des Klappschachtel-Typs vorzuschlagen, die mit einem besonderen Öffnungsmechanismus für die vorzugsweise dichte Innenumhüllung ausgestattet ist, so daß bei Ingebrauchnahme der Packung ein leichter Zugang zu dem durch die Innenumhüllung umschlossenen Packungsinhalt möglich ist.. The invention has for its object to propose a cuboid pack of the hinged box type, which is equipped with a special opening mechanism for the preferably sealed inner wrapper, so that when the pack is used, easy access to the contents of the pack enclosed by the inner wrapper is possible.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die erfindungsgemäße Packung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß bei einer Klappschachtel als Außenpackung mit durch einen Deckel in Schließstellung umfaßten Kragen und Ausnehmung in einer Kragenvorderwand der Aufreißlappen in der Vorderwand der Innenumhüllung im Bereich der Ausnehmung angeordnet ist und daß an den Aufreißlappen eine durch Wandungen der Innenumhüllung gebildete Abziehlasche anschließt.To achieve this object, the package according to the invention is characterized in that, in the case of a hinged box as an outer package with a collar and recess encompassed by a cover in the closed position, the tear tabs are arranged in the front wall of the inner wrapping in the region of the recess in the front wall of the collar and in that a tear is provided on the tear tab Walls of the inner casing formed pull tab connects.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung der Packung kann die Innenumhüllung geschlossen sein, also ohne den bekannten Flap. Um Zugang zum Packungsinhalt zu erlangen, wird der vorstehende Aufreißlappen erfaßt und eine Öffnung in der Innenumhüllung durch die mitabgetrennte Abziehlasche geschaffen.When the package is designed according to the invention, the inner wrapping can be closed, that is to say without the known flap. In order to gain access to the contents of the pack, the above tear-open tab is grasped and an opening in the inner wrapping is created by the pull tab which is also separated.

Der Aufreißlappen liegt vorzugsweise auf dem Kragen bzw. auf der Kragenvorderwand auf, derart, daß in Schließstellung der Packung der Deckel den Aufreißlappen überdeckt. Beim Öffnen der Packung durch Zurückklappen des Deckels wird der Aufreißlappen freigelegt. Dieser kann infolge Auflage auf der Kragenvorderwand leicht erfaßt werden.The tear tab is preferably on the collar or on the collar front wall, such that in the closed position of the pack, the lid covers the tear tab. When the package is opened by opening the lid, the tear-open flap is exposed. This can be easily grasped due to the support on the front wall of the collar.

Ein weiterer besonderer Vorschlag der Erfindung besteht darin, daß der Aufreißlappen Teil einer quer über die Vorderseite der Innenumhüllung verlaufenden Verschlußnaht ist. Zur Bildung einer dichten Innenumhüllung wird eine im vorliegenden Falle quergerichtete Verschlußnaht gebildet, von der ein Teilbereich, nämlich innerhalb der Ausnehmung der Kragenvorderwand, als Aufreißlappen dient.Another particular proposal of the invention is that the tear flap is part of a closing seam running across the front of the inner casing. To form a dense inner envelope, a transverse seam is formed in the present case, of which a partial area, namely within the recess of the collar front wall, serves as a tear-open flap.

Die in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Beispiele einer quaderförmigen Zigarettenpackung entsprechen im Grundaufbau Packungen des Typs Klappschachtel bzw. Becherpackung.The basic structure of the examples of a cuboid cigarette pack shown in the drawings corresponds to packs of the hinged box or cup pack type.

In Fig. 1 ist eine Klappschachtel dargestellt mit Schachtelteil 20 und mit diesem schwenkbar verbundenen Deckel 21. Der Schachtelteil 20 besteht üblicherweise aus Vorderwand 22, Seitenwänden 23, 24, einer Rückwand 25 und einem Boden 26. Dem Deckel 21 sind Deckelvorderwand 27, Deckelstirnwand 28, Deckelseitenwände 29 und 30 sowie eine schwenkbar mit der Rückwand 25 verbundene Deckelrückwand 31 zugeordnet.1 shows a hinged box with a box part 20 and a lid 21 pivotally connected to it. The box part 20 usually consists of a front wall 22, side walls 23, 24, a rear wall 25 and a bottom 26. The lid 21 is a lid front wall 27 and a lid end wall 28 , Lid side walls 29 and 30 as well as a lid rear wall 31 pivotally connected to the rear wall 25.

In dem Schachtelteil 20 ist - beispielsweise aus einem gesonderten Zuschnitt - ein Kragen 32 angeordnet, der teilweise aus dem Schachtelteil 20 herausragt und hier Kragenseitenwände 33, 34 sowie eine Kragenvorderwand 35 bildet. Letztere ist mit einer bei solchen Packungen üblichen Ausnehmung 36 versehen. Bei geschlossener Packung wird der aus dem Schachtelteil 20 herausragende Teil des Kragens 32 durch den Deckel 21 umschlossen.A collar 32 is arranged in the box part 20, for example from a separate blank, which partially protrudes from the box part 20 and here forms collar side walls 33, 34 and a collar front wall 35. The latter is provided with a recess 36 which is customary in such packs. When the pack is closed, the part of the collar 32 protruding from the box part 20 is enclosed by the cover 21.

In der so ausgebildeten Packung findet der Inhalt, nämlich eine Gruppe von Zigaretten 37, mit einer Innenumhüllung 38 Aufnahme. Diese besteht aus einem weitgehend dichten Material, z. B. einer Stanniolfolie oder einer im einzelnen noch zu erläuternden Verbundfolie.The contents, namely a group of cigarettes 37 with an inner wrapping 38, are accommodated in the pack formed in this way. This consists of a largely dense material, for. B. a tinfoil or a composite film to be explained in detail.

Die Innenumhüllung 38 ist konstruktiv in besonderer Weise ausgebildet. Ein zuvor gebildeter Schlauch umschließt die Zigaretten 37 derart, daß diese quer zur Schlauchrichtung angeordnet sind. Verschlußnähte 39 und 40, die ebenfalls quer zur Schlauchrichtung verlaufen, erstrecken sich dadurch in Richtung der Zigaretten 37. Sie werden im Bereich der Seitenwände 23, 24 der Packung bzw. im Bereich entsprechender Seitenflächen 41, 42 der Innenumhüllung 38 gebildet. Stirnfläche 43 und Bodenfläche 44 der Innenumhüllung 38 bleiden dadurch frei von Faltungen.The inner casing 38 is designed in a special manner. A previously formed tube surrounds the cigarettes 37 in such a way that they are arranged transversely to the tube direction. Sealing seams 39 and 40, which likewise run transversely to the tube direction, thereby extend in the direction of the cigarettes 37. The end face 43 and bottom surface 44 of the inner casing 38 are free of folds.

Der Schlauch als Zwischenprodukt für die Innenumhüllung 38 entsteht unter Bildung einer quer zu den Zigaretten 37 verlaufenden Schlauchnaht 45.The tube as an intermediate product for the inner wrapping 38 is formed with the formation of a tube seam 45 running transverse to the cigarettes 37.

Die in vorstehender Weise ausgebildete, dichte Innenumhüllung 38 ist so in die Packung, nämlich den Schachtelteil 20, eingesetzt, daß die eng an die Seitenflächen 41, 42 anliegenden Verschlußnähte 39, 40 im Bereich zwischen diesen Seitenflächen 41, 42 und den Seitenwänden 23, 24 liegen. Bei den vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispielen sind die Verschlußnähte 39, 40 als Flossenfaltung ausgebildet. Dies bedeutet, daß zunächst abstehende Lappen durch eine Naht, z. B. eine Schweißnaht 46 bei Anlage der Innenseiten der Folie aneinander verbunden und der dadurch gebildete Verschlußstreifen umgelegt wird.The tight inner wrapping 38 formed in the above manner is inserted into the pack, namely the box part 20, in such a way that the sealing seams 39, 40 closely fitting against the side surfaces 41, 42 in the area between these side surfaces 41, 42 and the side walls 23, 24 lie. In the present exemplary embodiments, the closure seams 39, 40 are designed as fin folds. This means that initially protruding rag by a seam, for. B. a weld 46 connected to each other when the inner sides of the film abut and the sealing strip formed thereby is folded over.

Die Schlauchnaht 45 kann im Sinne des Ausführungsbeispiels gem. Fig.4 ebenfalls als Flossenkonstruktion ausgebildet und flach gegen die Innenumhüllung 38 umgelegt sein, zweckmäßigerweise so, daß der gebildete Verschlußstreifen nach unten gerichtet ist.The hose seam 45 can be used according to the exemplary embodiment. 4 also designed as a fin construction and folded flat against the inner casing 38, expediently such that the sealing strip formed is directed downward.

Die Schlauchnaht 45 (oder eine andere in diesem Bereich angeordnete Verschlußnaht) erfüllt eine besondere Funktion beim Öffnen der Innenumhüllung 38. Die Schlauchnaht 45 bzw. der daraus gebildete Verschlußstreifen wirken als Aufreißlappen 47. Zu diesem Zweck liegt die Schlauchnaht 45-bzw. ein mittlerer als Aufreißlappen 47 dienender Bereich innerhalb der Ausnehmung 36 des Kragens 32, also auf der Vorderseite der Packung. Die Relativanordnung ist derart gewählt, daß der angelegte Verschlußstreifen der Schlauchnaht 45 bzw. der Aufreißlappen 47 in Ausgangsstellung außen auf der Kragenvorderwand 35 bzw. auf dem Rand derselben aufliegen. Der durch kurze Seiteneinschnitte 48 markierte Aufreißlappen 47 kann dadurch sehr leicht erfaßt werden. Bei geschlossener Packung liegt der Aufreißlappen 47 im Bereich zwischen der Deckelvorderwand 27 und der Kragenvorderwand 35, von außen unsichtbar. Durch Erfassen und Ziehen am Aufreißlappen 47 wird eine Abziehlasche 49 von dem übrigen Teil der Innenumhüllung 38 abgezogen, so daß der Zugang zu den Zigaretten 37 frei wird.The hose seam 45 (or another sealing seam arranged in this area) fulfills a special function when opening the inner sheath 38. a central area serving as a tear-open tab 47 within the recess 36 of the collar 32, that is to say on the front of the pack. The relative arrangement is selected in such a way that the sealing strip of the tube seam 45 or the tear-open flap 47 in the starting position rest on the outside of the collar front wall 35 or on the edge thereof. The tear-open tab 47 marked by short side incisions 48 can thereby be gripped very easily. When the package is closed, the tear-open tab 47 lies in the area between the front cover wall 27 and the front collar wall 35, invisible from the outside. By pulling and pulling on the tear tab 47, a pull tab 49 is pulled off the remaining part of the inner wrapper 38, so that access to the cigarettes 37 is free.

Die Schlauchnaht 45 kann gem. Fig. 5 auch in anderer Weise ausgebildet sein, nämlich unter Ausnutzung des an sich bekannten peel-seal-Effektes. Dabei liegen Innen- und Außenseite der Folie aufeinander und sind derart miteinander verschweißt, daß der außen liegende Aufreißlappen 47 beim Öffnen der Innenumhüllung 38 von der darunter liegenden Lage der Innenumhüllung 38 abgezogen werden kann. Der Aufreißlappen 47 bildet auch bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel einen unteren freien Lappenrand 50, der in der beschriebenen Weise angeordnet ist und erfaßt werden kann.The hose seam 45 can acc. 5 can also be designed in a different way, namely using the peel-seal effect known per se. The inside and outside of the film lie on top of one another and are welded to one another in such a way that the tear-open flap 47 on the outside can be pulled off from the underlying position of the inner cover 38 when the inner cover 38 is opened. The tear tab 47 also forms a lower free tab edge 50 in this embodiment, which is arranged in the manner described and can be detected.

Die Innenumhüllung 38 kann aus einem einstückigen Zuschnitt i. S. von Fig. 3 bzw. Fig. 8 gebildet sein. Die Faltungen sind dabei durch entsprechende Faltlinien vormarkiert. An der Ober- und Unterseite der Innenumhüllung 38 entstehen durch die seitliche Faltung im wesentlichen dreieckförmige Zwickel 51. Bei der Ausführungsform gem. Fig. 1 sind diese Zwickel 51 in einer Zwischenfaltstellung seitwärts gerichtet und werden danach gegen die Seitenflächen 41, 42 der Innenumhüllung 38 nach unten umgelegt. In der Packung werden die Zwickel 51 durch die Kragenseitenwände 33, 34 in dieser Stellung fixiert.The inner sheath 38 can i. S. of Fig. 3 and Fig. 8 may be formed. The folds are pre-marked with appropriate fold lines. On the top and bottom of the inner casing 38, the triangular gusset 51 is formed by the lateral folding. In the embodiment according to FIG. 1, these gussets 51 are directed sideways in an intermediate folding position and are then folded down against the side surfaces 41, 42 of the inner casing 38. In the pack, the gussets 51 are fixed in this position by the collar side walls 33, 34.

Bei der Alternativausführung gem. Fig. 9 ist die Faltung so gewählt, daß die Zwickel 51 nach innen eingefaltet sind, also hier durch die Seitenflächen 41, 42 des Inneneinschlags- überdeckt sind.In the alternative version according to 9, the folding is selected such that the gussets 51 are folded inwards, that is to say are covered here by the side surfaces 41, 42 of the inside fold.

Die an den Aufreißlappen 47 anschließende Abziehlasche 49 ist bei den vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispielen durch eine Reißlinie 52 vormarkiert. Diese im einzelnen noch zu beschreibende Reißlinie 52 ist so angeordnet, daß sich die Abziehlasche 49 auf der Packungsvorderseite im Bereich der Ausnehmung 36 im Kragen 32 und hieran anschließend im überwiegenden Bereich der Stirnfläche 43 der Innenumhüllung 38 erstreckt, derart, daß an den Seiten und an der Rückseite ein Folienrand 53 stehen bleibt. Die Abziehlasche 49 wird dabei zweckmäßigerweise nicht vollständig entfernt, sondern beim Schlie-Ben der angebrochenen Packung in die Ausgangslage zurückgefaltet.The pull tab 49 adjoining the tear tabs 47 is pre-marked by a tear line 52 in the present exemplary embodiments. To be described in detail Bending tear line 52 is arranged so that the pull tab 49 extends on the front side of the pack in the region of the recess 36 in the collar 32 and then in the predominant area of the end face 43 of the inner casing 38, such that a film edge 53 on the sides and on the back stop. The pull tab 49 is expediently not completely removed, but is folded back into the starting position when the opened package is closed.

Gemäß Fig. 10 und 11 besteht die Innenumhüllung 38 aus einer dreilagigen Verbundfolie mit einer Innenschicht 65 mit verhältnismäßig niedrigem Schmelzpunkt, z. B. aus Polyäthylen. Hierauf folgt eine die Dichtigkeit bewirkende Zwischenschicht 66 aus Aluminium. Diese ist von einer Außenschicht 67 überdeckt, die einen höheren Schmelzpunkt hat, z. B. aus Polyester. Der Schmelzpunkt der Innenschicht 65 liegt etwa bei 100 Grad Celsius, während der Schmelzpunkt der Außenschicht 67 in der Größenordnung von 250 Grad Celsius liegen wird. Als Schichtdicken sind etwa 12 µ für die Zwischenschicht 66 und Außenschicht 67 angebracht, während die Innenschicht 65 eine größere Dicke von beispielsweise 15 p. haben kann.10 and 11, the inner sheath 38 consists of a three-layer composite film with an inner layer 65 with a relatively low melting point, for. B. made of polyethylene. This is followed by an intermediate layer 66 made of aluminum, which causes the seal. This is covered by an outer layer 67 which has a higher melting point, e.g. B. made of polyester. The melting point of the inner layer 65 is approximately 100 degrees Celsius, while the melting point of the outer layer 67 will be of the order of 250 degrees Celsius. About 12 μ are applied as layer thicknesses for the intermediate layer 66 and the outer layer 67, while the inner layer 65 has a greater thickness of, for example, 15 p. may have.

Zur Bildung der Reißlinien 52 sind bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 10 die Innenschicht 65 und die Zwischenschicht 66 durch einen Einschnitt 68 durchtrennt. Beim Reißvorgang ist demnach nur noch die durchgehende Außenschicht 67 zu zerstören.In the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 10, the inner layer 65 and the intermediate layer 66 are severed by an incision 68 to form the tear lines 52. Accordingly, only the continuous outer layer 67 has to be destroyed during the tearing process.

Fig. 11 zeigt ein besonderes Beispiel für die Herstellung der Reißlinie 52. Auf der Seite der Außenschicht 67 wird hier ein scharfkantiges, beheiztes Werkzeug 69 angesetzt. Dieses ist so temperiert, daß ausreichende Wärme durch Außenschicht 67 und Zwischenschicht 66 durchdringen kann und die Innenschicht 65 örtlich unter Bildung einer Kerbe 70 zum Schmelzen gebracht wird. Die Kerbe 70 bildet eine gut funktionierende Reißlinie. Der Reißvorgang wird dabei dadurch unterstützt, daß der Werkstoff zu beiden Seiten der Kerbe 70 verkrustet.11 shows a special example for the production of the tear line 52. A sharp-edged, heated tool 69 is attached to the side of the outer layer 67 here. This is tempered so that sufficient heat can penetrate through the outer layer 67 and intermediate layer 66 and the inner layer 65 is locally melted to form a notch 70. The notch 70 forms a well-functioning tear line. The tearing process is supported in that the material is encrusted on both sides of the notch 70.
