Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen einer Zigarettenweichpackung nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs.The invention relates to a method for producing a soft cigarette pack according to the preamble of the patent claim.

Zigarettenweichpackungen werden gewöhnlich auf Bodenfaltungspackern hergestellt, wie es beispielsweise in der DE-OS 2o 5o 84o beschrieben ist. Hierbei wird das äußere Umhüllungsblatt derart um die mit der Innenumhüllung versehene Zigarettengruppe herumgelegt, daß sich an einer Endseite ein überstehender Endbereich und an einer Längskante eine überlappung ergibt, in deren Bereich die Verklebung stattfindet. Hierbei verläuft die außenliegende Kante des äußeren Umhüllungsblattes längs der Längskante der Weichpackung. üblicherweise erfolgt das bodenseitige Verschließen dadurch, daß zunächst bezüglich des überstehenden Endbereichs eine Seitenfaltung von den Schmalseiten her, darauf die Unterfaltung und dann die Oberfaltung der verbleibenden Laschen durchgeführt wird. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich aber keine symmetrische Unterfaltung, vielmehr besitzt die Unterfaltung einerseits eine schräg einwärts verlaufende Kante und andererseits eine sich parallel zu der entsprechenden Schmalseite der Weichpackung erstreckende Kante. Dies führt jedoch zu Beanstandungen durch den Konsumenten.Soft cigarette packs are usually produced on bottom-folding packers, as described, for example, in DE-OS 2o 5o 84o. Here, the outer wrapping sheet is placed around the cigarette group provided with the inner wrapping in such a way that there is a protruding end region on one end side and an overlap on one longitudinal edge, in the region of which the gluing takes place. The outer edge of the outer wrapping sheet runs along the longitudinal edge of the soft pack. The bottom-side closing is usually carried out by first performing a side fold from the narrow sides with respect to the protruding end region, then underfolding and then overfolding the remaining tabs. In this way, however, there is no symmetrical folding, rather the folding has on the one hand an obliquely inward edge and on the other hand an edge extending parallel to the corresponding narrow side of the soft pack. However, this leads to complaints from the consumer.

Um dieses Problem zu beseitigen, ist es aus der DE-OS 31 27 18o bekannnt, vom äußeren Umhüllungsblatt eine entsprechende Ecke abzuschneiden, so daß die Unterfaltung symmetrisch wird. Dies hat jedoch den Nachteil eines zusätzlichen Arbeitsganges.In order to eliminate this problem, it is known from DE-OS 31 27 18o to cut off a corresponding corner from the outer wrapping sheet, so that the folding is symmetrical. However, this has the disadvantage of an additional operation.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei dem in einfacher Weise ohne zusätzlichen Arbeitsgang eine äußere Umhüllung für eine Weichpackung hergestellt werden kann, deren Bodenbereich nur einwärts gerichtete, von außen sichtbare Faltlinien aufweist.The object of the present invention is to provide a method of the type mentioned at the outset, in which an outer covering for a soft pack can be produced in a simple manner without an additional operation, the bottom region of which is only inward and visible from the outside Has fold lines.

Diese Aufgabe wird entsprechend dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs dadurch gelöst, daß zum bodenseitigen Verschließen zunächst die Unterfaltung von der den Überlappungsbereich aufweisenden Breitseite der Weichpackung her und dann die Oberfaltung von der anderen Breitseite vorgenommen wird.This object is achieved in accordance with the characterizing part of the patent claim in that, for bottom closure, first the underfolding is carried out from the broad side of the soft pack having the overlap region and then the overfolding is carried out from the other broad side.

Hierdurch wird erreicht, daß die sich durch die verschiedenen Faltungen ergebenden Laschen immer schräg einwärts gerichtete Kanten aufweisen, die symmetrisch einer Mittellinie in Richtung der Schmalseiten der Weichpackung verlaufen. Zusätzliche Arbeitsgänge sind hierbei nicht erforderlich.This ensures that the flaps resulting from the various folds always have obliquely inwardly directed edges which run symmetrically about a center line in the direction of the narrow sides of the soft pack. Additional operations are not required.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der beigefügten Abbildungen näher erläutert.

  • Fig. 1 zeigt die Faltvorgänge bei der bekannten Herstellung einer Weichpackung.
  • Fig. 2 zeigt die Faltvorgänge gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung.
The invention is explained below with reference to the accompanying figures.
  • Fig. 1 shows the folding processes in the known production of a soft pack.
  • 2 shows the folding processes according to the present invention.

Da das Falten des äußeren Umhüllungsblattes um eine mit einer Innenumhüllung versehene Zigarettengruppe, die von einem Dorn eines Umhüllungsrevolvers aufgenommen wird, an sich bekannt ist, sind in den Abbildungen nur die Umhüllungsblätter selbst in verschiedenen Stadien der Faltung zum bodenseitigen Verschließen dargestellt.Since the folding of the outer wrapping sheet around a cigarette group provided with an inner wrapping, which is received by a mandrel of a wrapping revolver, is known per se, only the wrapping sheets themselves are shown in the various stages of folding for closing at the bottom in the figures.

Gemäß Fig. 1 wird ein rechteckiges Umhüllungsblatt verwendet und um den die bereits umhüllte Zigarettengruppe umgebenden Dorn derart gefaltet, daß sich ein überlappungsbereich 10 längs einer Längskante 11 der Weichpackung derart ergibt, daß sich die außenliegende Kante 12 des Umhüllungsblattes längs der Längskante 11 erstreckt. Außerdem ergibt sich ein überstehender Endbereich 13.Referring to FIG. 1, a rectangular wrapping sheet is used and folded around the area surrounding the already wrapped group of cigarettes mandrel such that an overlap region 1 0 along a longitudinal edge 11 of the soft pack results in such a way that the outer edge 12 extends the wrapping sheet along the longitudinal edge 11. There is also a protruding end region 13.

Zum bodenseitigen Verschließen wird der überstehende Endbereich zunächst durch entsprechende seitlich eingeführte Falter des Bodenfaltungspackers von den Schmalseiten der Weichpackung her eingefaltet, so daß sich Seitenfaltungslaschen 14 bilden. Danach erfolgt die Unterfaltung der stehengebliebenen Unterfaltungslasche 15 durch ein entsprechendes Faltorgan, wonach die noch verbleibende Oberfaltungslasche 16 auf die Unterfaltungslasche 15 gefaltet und mit dieser verklebt wird.To close the bottom, the protruding end region is first folded in from the narrow sides of the soft pack by means of corresponding laterally inserted folders of the bottom folding packer, so that side folding tabs 14 are formed. Then the remaining folding folder 15 is folded under by a corresponding folding element, after which the remaining folding folder 16 is folded onto the folding folder 15 and glued to it.

Ersichtlich besitzt die Unterfaltungslasche 15 einerseits eine einwärts gerichtete Kante 17, die durch die Seitenfaltung entstanden ist, und andererseits eine Kante 18, die sich nach dem Falten längs der benachbarten schmalseitigen Kante der Weichpackung erstreckt.As can be seen, the underfolding flap 15 has on the one hand an inwardly directed edge 17, which was created by the side folding, and on the other hand, an edge 18 which, after folding, extends along the adjacent narrow edge of the soft pack.

Damit die Kante 18 symmetrisch zur Kante 17 verläuft, ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, zum bodenseitigen Verschließen zunächst die Unterfaltung vorzunehmen, und zwar von derjenigen Breitseite der Weichpackung her, an der sich der überlappungsbereich 1o befindet, so daß zunächst die Unterfaltungslasche 15 auf den Boden der Weichpackung umgefaltet wird, so daß der verbleibende überstehende Endbereich 13 des Umhüllungsblattes an den Schmalseiten Seitenfaltungslaschen 14 aufweist, die aufgrund der bereits vorgenommenen Unterfaltung schräge Kanten 19 aufweisen. Danach erfolgt die Seitenfaltung von den Schmalseiten der Weichpackung her, wodurch die Seitenfaltungslaschen 14 auf die Unterfaltungslasche 15 gefaltet werden, so daß die verbleibende Oberfaltungslasche 16 schrägverlaufende Seitenkanten 2o erhält. Danach wird die Oberfaltung der Oberfaltungslasche 16 auf den Boden der Weichpackung vorgenommen und verklebt. Ersichtlich ergibt sich hierdurch ein ansprechendes Aussehen der Bodenfaltung infolge symmetrischer Faltungskanten, wobei zugleich der Überlappungsbereich des überstehenden Endbereichs 13 unter den darüber gefalteten Laschen verschwindet.So that the edge 18 runs symmetrically to the edge 17, it is provided according to the invention for the bottom-side closure to first underfold, namely from the broad side of the soft pack on which the overlap area 10 is located, so that the fold-over flap 15 is first on the bottom of the soft pack is folded over, so that the remaining projecting end region 13 of the wrapping sheet has on the narrow sides side folding tabs 14 which, due to the folding already carried out, have inclined edges 19. Then the side folding takes place from the narrow sides of the soft pack, as a result of which the side folding tabs 14 are folded onto the underfolding tab 15, so that the remaining top folding tab 16 receives oblique side edges 20. Then the overfolding flap 16 is folded over onto the bottom of the soft pack and glued. Obviously, this results in an appealing appearance of the bottom fold due to symmetrical fold edges, the overlap area of the protruding end area 13 disappearing below the flaps folded over it.
