Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Zigarettenpackung mit einer elektrischen Glühzündeinrichtung zum Anzünden der Zigaretten beim Herausbewegen aus der Packung, welche eine elektrische Batterie und für jede Zigarette zwei an den +Pol bzw. -Pol der Batterie angeschlossene Kontakte innerhalb der Packung aufweist, wobei ein Kontakt sich von dem geschlossenen Packungsende weg auf das Packungsende zum Herausbewegen der Zigaretten zu erstreckt.The invention relates to a cigarette pack with an electric glow ignition device for igniting the cigarettes when moving out of the pack, which has an electric battery and for each cigarette two contacts connected to the + pole or -pole of the battery within the pack, one contact extends from the closed end of the pack towards the end of the pack for moving the cigarettes out.

Derartige Zigarettenpackungen sind bekannt (US-A-4342902). Dabei erstrecken sich die beiden jeweils einer Zigarette zugeordneten Kontakte der elektrischen Glühzündeinrichtung an der Rückwand des Gehäuses der Zigarettenpackung parallel zueinander von dem geschlossenen Packungs- bzw. Gehäuseende weg auf das Packungs- bzw. Gehäuseende zum Herausbewegen der Zigaretten aus der Packung bzw. dem Gehäuse zu und ist für jede Zigarette ein Glühzündblock vorgesehen, welcher im Gehäuse senkrecht zu dessen Boden beweglich geführt, durch eine Schraubendruckfeder gegen den Gehäuseboden gedrückt und mit einem seitlich entgegen der Wirkung einer Schraubendruckfeder bewegbaren, durch einen rechtwinkligen Schlitz in der Vorderwand des Gehäuses nach aussen ragenden Betätigungsknopf, einer elektrischen Heizspirale auf der dem Gehäuseboden abgewandten Seite sowie zwei jeweils mit dem einen bzw. dem anderen Ende der elektrischen Heizspirale elektrisch leitend verbundenen, axial bewegbaren und durch eine Blattfeder aus dem Glühzündblock herausbelasteten Kontaktstiften zur Anlage am zugehörigen Kontaktpaar an der Gehäuserückwand versehen ist. Um eine Zigarette aus der Zigarettenpackung bzw. deren Gehäuse zu entnehmen, wird der Betätigungsknopf des zugehörigen Glühzündblocks entgegen der Wirkung einer Federbelastung im Glühzündblock seitlich verschoben, so dass er mit dem zum Gehäuseboden senkrechten Schenkel des zugehörigen rechtwinkligen Schlitzes in der Gehäusevorderwand fluchtet, wonach der Betätigungsknopf in diesem Schenkel verschoben wird, so dass der Glühzündblock sich entgegen der Wirkung seiner Federbelastung vom Gehäuseboden weg bewegt und die Zigarette aus dem Gehäuse herausschiebt, welche mit dem dem Gehäuseboden benachbarten Ende auf der elektrischen Heizspirale des Glühzündblocks ruht. Deren beide Kontaktstifte gleiten an dem zugehörigen, gehäusefesten Kontaktpaar entlang, so dass die elektrische Heizspirale von der Batterie der Glühzündeinrichtung mit Strom beaufschlagt und zum Glühen gebracht wird, um die Zigarette beim Herausschieben aus der Zigarettenpackung bzw. deren Gehäuse anzuzünden. Nachteilig bei diesen bekannten Zigarettenpackungen ist vor allem der verhältnismässig verwickelte Aufbau, welcher relativ viele Einzelteile erfordert.Such cigarette packs are known (US-A-4342902). The two contacts of the electric glow ignition device, each associated with a cigarette, on the rear wall of the housing of the cigarette pack extend parallel to one another from the closed pack or casing end to the pack or casing end for moving the cigarettes out of the pack or the casing and for each cigarette, a glow plug is provided, which is movably guided in the housing perpendicular to the bottom, pressed against the housing base by a helical compression spring and with an actuating button protruding laterally against the action of a helical compression spring, through a right-angled slot in the front wall of the housing , an electrical heating coil on the side facing away from the housing base and two contact pins, each electrically conductively connected to one or the other end of the electrical heating coil, and axially movable and loaded by a leaf spring out of the glow plug n is attached to the associated pair of contacts on the rear wall of the housing. In order to remove a cigarette from the cigarette pack or its housing, the actuating button of the associated glow plug block is laterally displaced against the action of a spring load in the glow plug block, so that it is aligned with the leg of the associated right-angled slot in the front wall of the casing, which is perpendicular to the bottom of the casing, after which the actuation button is displaced in this leg so that the glow plug block moves away from the housing base against the action of its spring loading and pushes the cigarette out of the housing, which end rests on the electrical heating coil of the glow plug block with the end adjacent to the housing base. Their two contact pins slide along the associated pair of contacts fixed to the housing, so that the electric heating coil is supplied with current by the battery of the glow ignition device and caused to glow in order to ignite the cigarette when it is pushed out of the cigarette packet or its housing. A disadvantage of these known cigarette packs is above all the relatively complicated structure, which requires a relatively large number of individual parts.

Bekannt sind auch Zigarettenpackungen mit einer elektrischen Glühzündeinrichtung für die in der Packung enthaltenen Zigaretten, wobei die Glühzündeinrichtung eine elektrische Batterie sowie zwei elektrisch leitende Kontakte aufweist, welche jeweils an den +Pol bzw. an den -Pol der Batterie angeschlossen sind, und in einem gesonderten Abteil der jeweiligen Zigarettenpackung an dem geschlossenen Packungsende, welches dem Packungsende zum Herausziehen der Zigaretten aus der Packung gegenüberliegt, derart untergebracht ist, dass die Kontakte sich in einer zu einer Packungsschmalseite parallelen Ebene hinter einer kreisrunden Öffnung in dieser Packungsschmalseite erstrecken, und wobei die Zigaretten jeweils an einem Ende mit einem Glühteil versehen sind, welches mit den Kontakten in Berührung bringbar und durch den dann von der Batterie der Glühzündeinrichtung gelieferten Strom auf eine zum Anzünden der jeweiligen Zigarette ausreichende Temperatur aufheizbar ist. Die in der Pakkung enthaltenen Zigaretten werden dadurch angezündet, dass man sie jeweils aus der Zigarettenpackung herauszieht und dann mit dem mit dem Glühteil versehenen Ende durch die Öffnung der einen Packungsschmalseite hindurch mit den Kontakten der Glühzündeinrichtung in Berührung bringt. Das Glühteil besteht aus einer stirnseitigen Schicht von Kohlefasern niedrigen elektrischen Widerstandes, an welche sich eine mit Kaliumnitrat behandelte Tabakschicht anschliesst. Bei diesen bekannten Zigarettenpackungen werden die Zigaretten nicht während des Herausziehens aus der Packung angezündet. Vielmehr ist zum Zigarettenanzünden ein gesonderter Vorgang erforderlich (US-A-4310007).Also known are cigarette packs with an electric glow ignition device for the cigarettes contained in the pack, the glow ignition device having an electric battery and two electrically conductive contacts, each of which is connected to the + pole or to the -pole of the battery, and in a separate one Compartment of the respective cigarette pack at the closed pack end, which is opposite the pack end for pulling the cigarettes out of the pack, is accommodated in such a way that the contacts extend in a plane parallel to a narrow pack side behind a circular opening in this narrow pack side, and the cigarettes in each case are provided at one end with a glow part which can be brought into contact with the contacts and can be heated to a temperature sufficient to ignite the respective cigarette by the current then supplied by the battery of the glow ignition device. The cigarettes contained in the pack are lit by pulling them out of the cigarette pack and then bringing the end provided with the glow part into contact with the contacts of the glow ignition device through the opening of the narrow side of the pack. The glow part consists of a front layer of carbon fibers with low electrical resistance, which is followed by a layer of tobacco treated with potassium nitrate. In these known cigarette packs, the cigarettes are not lit while they are being pulled out of the pack. Rather, a separate process is required to light the cigarette (US-A-4310007).

Wenn die jeweilige Zigarette B um eine vorgegebene Strecke aus der Packung A herausgezogen worden ist, dann zieht die zugehörige Feder 9, welche beim Herausziehen gespannt wird, den Ring 8 bzw. die Klammer 10 bzw. die Drahtwendel 11 der Zigarette B zurück, so dass der Stromkreis der Batterie C und der Stromfluss wieder unterbrochen ist. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass von der der Packung A jeweils entnommenen und brennenden Zigarette B keine glühenden, festen Teilchen abfallen können. Auch die bei der Ausführungsform gemäss Fig. 1 vorgesehene Beschichtung 6 der Zigarette B ist so gewählt, dass nach Zündung des Tabakinhaltes der jeweiligen Zigarette B keine glühenden festen Teilchen abfallen können, beispielsweise indem man die jeweilige Beschichtung 6 nach dem Zünden des Tabakinhaltes der jeweiligen Zigarette B verbrennen lässt.When a cigarette B is pulled out of the cigarette pack A according to FIGS. 2 or 3 and 4 or 5, it slides with its ring 8 or its clamp 10 or the uppermost turn of the largest diameter of its wire coil 11 after leaving the insulating film 5 on the film 4 made of metal along, so that the circuit of the battery C is closed and the ring 8 or the clip 10 or the wire coil 11 is heated and the cigarette B is lit, which can be smoked immediately after leaving the cigarette pack A. If the respective cigarette B has been pulled out of the pack A by a predetermined distance, then the associated one pulls Spring 9, which is tensioned when pulled out, the ring 8 or the clip 10 or the wire coil 11 of the cigarette B back, so that the circuit of the battery C and the current flow is interrupted again. This ensures that no glowing, solid particles can fall off from the burning cigarette B that is removed from the package A. The coating 6 of the cigarette B provided in the embodiment according to FIG. 1 is also selected such that no glowing solid particles can fall off after the tobacco content of the respective cigarette B has been ignited, for example by removing the respective coating 6 after the tobacco content of the respective cigarette has been ignited B burns.

Gemäss Fig. 6 sind die beiden Folien 4 und 7 aus Metall, welche die beiden Kontakte D und E der Glühzündeinrichtung für die Glühteile F der Zigaretten B bei der Ausführungsform gemäss Fig. 1 bilden, jeweils gewellt. Diese wellenförmige Ausbildung verbessert den elektrischen Kontakt mit den Glühteilen F gegenüber einer Punktberührung zwischen den Kontakten D und E einerseits und den Glühteilen F andererseits und gewährleistet weiterhin eine zuverlässige Fixierung jeder einzelnen Zigarette B in der Packung A. Auch bei den Ausführungsformen gemäss Fig. 2 bzw. 3 und 4 bzw. 5 ist die Folie 4 aus Metall vorteilhafterweise so gewellt, wie aus Fig. 6 ersichtlich.6, the two foils 4 and 7 made of metal, which form the two contacts D and E of the glow ignition device for the glow parts F of the cigarettes B in the embodiment according to FIG. 1, are each corrugated. This wave-shaped design improves the electrical contact with the glow parts F compared to a point contact between the contacts D and E on the one hand and the glow parts F on the other hand and furthermore ensures that each individual cigarette B is reliably fixed in the pack A. Also in the embodiments according to FIG 3 and 4 or 5, the foil 4 made of metal is advantageously corrugated as shown in FIG.

Wenn auch in Fig. 1 bis 6 Zigarettenpackungen A mit nur einer Reihe von Zigaretten B dargestellt sind, so ist doch jeweils auch eine Ausgestaltung mit beispielsweise zwei Reihen von Zigaretten B möglich. Wie in Fig. 7 für die Ausführungsform gemäss Fig. 1 veranschaulicht, wird dann die Folie 4 aus Metall zweckmässigerweise zwischen den beiden Reihen von Zigaretten B angeordnet, und wird diese mittlere Folie 4 dann auf beiden Seiten jeweils durch eine Isolierfolie 5 abgedeckt.1 to 6 cigarette packs A with only one row of cigarettes B are shown, an embodiment with, for example, two rows of cigarettes B is also possible in each case. As illustrated in FIG. 7 for the embodiment according to FIG. 1, the foil 4 made of metal is then expediently arranged between the two rows of cigarettes B, and this middle foil 4 is then covered on both sides by an insulating foil 5.

Es sind auch noch weitere Abwandlungen der dargestellten und geschilderten Ausführungsformen möglich. So können beispielsweise weitere Isolierfolien quer zu der bzw. den Isolierfolien 5 angeordnet werden, um die Glühteile F der in der Zigarettenpackung A befindlichen Zigaretten B voneinande zu trennen und dadurch die Sicherheit gegen ungewolltes Anzünden benachbarter Zigaretten B beim Herausziehen einer Zigarette B aus der Zigarettenpackung A zu erhöhen. Auch ist es zu diesem Zweck möglich, die Zigarettenpakkung A mit einem zusätzlichen Schalter zu versehen, welcher beim Ergreifen der Zigarettenpakkung A zum Herausziehen einer Zigarette B betätigt werden kann, um erst dann das Schliessen des Stromkreises der Batterie C beim Herausziehen der jeweiligen Zigarette B aus der Packung A zu ermöglichen.Further modifications of the illustrated and described embodiments are also possible. For example, further insulating foils can be arranged transversely to the insulating foil or foils 5 in order to separate the glow parts F of the cigarettes B in the cigarette pack A and thereby the security against unwanted lighting of adjacent cigarettes B when a cigarette B is pulled out of the cigarette pack A. to increase. For this purpose, it is also possible to provide the cigarette packet A with an additional switch which can be actuated when the cigarette packet A is gripped to pull out a cigarette B, only then to close the circuit of the battery C when the respective cigarette B is pulled out to enable Pack A.

Schliesslich kann die Zigarettenpackung A auch als Dauerpackung ausgebildet werden, welche mit Zigaretten B nachgefüllt werden kann. Zur Nachfüllung kann beispielsweise eine Nachfüllpackung mit den jeweils mit einem Glühteil F versehenen Zigaretten B und den Kontakten D sowie E der Glühzündeinrichtung in die Dauerpackung einführbar sein, welche dabei automatisch an die in der Dauerpackung befindliche Batterie C angeschlossen werden.Finally, the cigarette pack A can also be designed as a permanent pack, which can be refilled with cigarettes B. For refilling, for example, a refill with the cigarettes B each provided with a glow part F and the contacts D and E of the glow ignition device can be inserted into the permanent pack, which are automatically connected to the battery C in the permanent pack.

Um das Anbringen und die Halterung der Glühteile F an den Zigaretten B zu erleichtern und zu verbessern, ist es möglich, das Zigarettenpapier bzw. die Hülle B' der Zigaretten B im Bereich der Beschichtung 6 bzw. des Ringes 8 bzw. der Klammer 10 bzw. der Drahtwendel 11 der jeweiligen Zigarette B zu verdicken und/oder zu verstärken.In order to facilitate and improve the attachment and mounting of the glow parts F to the cigarettes B, it is possible to add the cigarette paper or the wrapper B 'of the cigarettes B in the area of the coating 6 or the ring 8 or the clip 10 or to thicken and / or reinforce the wire coil 11 of the respective cigarette B.

Die Packung A ist nicht nur in Verbindung mit Zigaretten B verwendbar, sondern kann beispielsweise auch für Zigarillos benutzt werden, welche jeweils an einem Ende mit einem Glühteil F versehen werden. Auch kann daran gedacht werden, die Batterie C anders anzuordnen, beispielsweise neben einer Packungsschmalseite.The pack A can not only be used in connection with cigarettes B, but can also be used, for example, for cigarillos, which are each provided with a glow part F at one end. It can also be thought of to arrange the battery C differently, for example next to a narrow packaging side.
