Definitions
- the invention relates to a cuboid pack for cigarettes or the like with an inner wrapping, in particular made of tin foil, and an outer wrapping made of paper, cardboard or the like, in particular a soft cup, the inner wrapping forming a longitudinally extending full length of the inner wrapper Longitudinal overlap, which is tightly formed by gluing or welding, surrounds the package contents (known from EP-A 7423).
- cigarette packs are constructed in such a way that the contents of the pack, namely a group of cigarettes, are enclosed in the actual pack, surrounded by an inner wrapper.
- This can be a hinged box (hinge-lid pack) made of thin cardboard or a soft cup pack made of paper.
- An outer covering made of cellophane or poly film is intended to provide an additional seal of the package contents against loss of aroma and moisture.
- all wrappings do not ensure tightness due to their construction, the aroma preservation of these conventional cigarette packs is unsatisfactory.
- a cigarette pack is known from European patent application 0 007 423, the inner wrapping of which is provided with weld seams in order to achieve better tightness.
- the inner wrapping is first placed around the pack contents in such a way that it surrounds the front and rear walls and the end faces of the pack contents in a tubular manner.
- the overlapping edges of this inner wrapping tube are connected to one another by means of a weld seam running transversely to the pack.
- the still open longitudinal side surfaces of the inner casing are then closed with fin folds, the fins of this fin fold also being welded together to seal the inner casing. Gussets protruding from the end faces of the inner wrapper are applied to the longitudinal side surfaces of the inner wrapper, so that the known inner wrapper ultimately surrounds the package contents in a cuboid shape.
- the two opposite end walls of the inner casing have no folds.
- the end walls are rather smooth.
- the upper end wall is torn open to remove the package contents either by tearing at the tube seam or by tearing off a gusset.
- Conventional inner wrappers in which no measures are taken to preserve the contents of the pack, generally have trapezoidal, inwardly folded folding tabs on their upper end wall and lower bottom wall, which can be grasped at their oblique edges to open the inner wrapper on a front wall.
- Trapezoidal folding flaps of this type can be found, in particular, on cigarette packs in which the inner wrapper is located in a soft cup.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to further develop and improve a pack of the type mentioned, since while largely maintaining the conventional structure of the pack a higher degree of co servicing against aroma and moisture content of the pack contents is ensured, the pack is woven , especially when opening, leicl largely in a conventional manner.
- the package according to the invention is characterized in that at least one of the two end faces of the inner casing is designed as a folding wall by folding inward folds and that at least in one folding wall the folding tabs are connected to one another by welding or gluing.
- the invention is preferably used for the "soft cup” type of packaging.
- C Cigarette group is surrounded by a conventional inner wrapping, in particular made of tinfoil.
- This is folded in such a way that at least one longitudinal overlap - extending in the longitudinal direction of the cigars - arises and folds at least in the area of one end face.
- the inner wrapping (tinfoil cut) is folded so that the longitudinal overlap extends in the area of a front wall and, in addition to the front wall, a bottom wall is formed from floor rags.
- selected areas of the overlaps and folds, the inner wrapping are sealed by gluing or welding.
- a considerable increase in tightness is already achieved by (continuous) gluing of the longitudinal overlap.
- the tightness is further increased according to the invention by gluing or welding pre-existing folding flaps, at least in the area of a bump.
- the end wall has also been redesigned with regard to the design c end flaps such that a part of the end wall is sealed by adhesive strips of an outer end cover flap.
- Ledigli a serving to open the inner wrapper E rich - usually mark adjacent to a transversely extending over (end wall control or Verschl L - are oriented image that is not bonded in a conventional manner with trapezoidal longitudinal frontal lobes, with each other (and therefore tear an A or opening of the inner wrapper allow in this area in a conventional manner.
- a cigarette pack is shown as a preferred embodiment or application example, namely a soft cup pack according to FIGS. 1 and 2.
- This consists of an open-top soft cup 10 made of paper or the like.
- the soft cup 10 is designed in a conventional manner, in particular folded.
- a cigarette block, namely a tin foil block 11, is accommodated in this actual pack.
- the dimensions are chosen so that the tinfoil block 11 protrudes slightly from the soft cup 10.
- the tinfoil block 11 is formed from a cigarette group 12 as the package content and an inner wrapping surrounding it, namely a tinfoil blank 13. In a conventional manner, this consists of a preferably inner paper layer and an aluminum layer.
- the tinfoil block 11 is cuboid with a front wall 14, a rear wall 15, side walls 16 and 17 and an upper end wall 18 and a lower bottom wall 19.
- the inner wrapping namely the tinfoil blank 13 surrounds the cigarette group 12 in such a way that in the region of the front wall 14 or rear wall 15 - in the present case in the region of the front wall 14 - there is an extension over the entire length of the tinfoil blank 13 Longitudinal overlap 20 results.
- End wall 18 and bottom wall 19 are formed by end lobes and bottom lobes, which also partially overlap one another and will be described in more detail.
- the longitudinal overlap 20 is hermetically sealed in the present tinfoil block 11, specifically by means of an adhesive strip 23 connecting edge strips 21 and 22 of the tinfoil blank 13 in the area of the overlap.
- This can consist of a suitable material, e.g. B. a glue strip attached directly during the production of the inner covering or from an activatable adhesive strip made of melt which has already been applied to a material web for producing the tinfoil blanks 13.
- the hot glue is activated with the help of pressure and heat after the execution, so that the edge strips 21 and 22 are sealed.
- the longitudinal overlap 20 thus formed also extends into the region c end wall 18 and the bottom wall 19.
- c edge strips 21 and 22 are connected to one another during a hose-like intermediate folding position.
- the end wall 18 and the bottom wall can be formed in a conventional manner by folding in front flaps and bottom flaps without connecting them together.
- a further increase in the tightness of the interior covering can be achieved by d; (In addition) the bottom wall 19 (is relatively tight.
- a special folding is provided here.
- the longitudinal flap 29 has a trapezoidal shape, specifically by folding in or intermediate v ' triangular gussets 30 and 31 between the bottom side tabs 27 and 28 on the one hand and the bottom longitudinal tab 29 on the other.
- the rectangular end cover flap 24 is folded onto the above-described bottom flap and covers almost the entire area of the bottom wall 19.
- the side separating cuts 25 and 26 of the bottom deck lobes 24 has a shorter length and a smaller width than the surface of the bottom wall 19. This ent hen hen corner seals 32 and 33 facing the rear wall 15.
- the bottom cover flap 24 is connected to the remaining E denlappen by gluing or welding.
- forthsbeisp paper layer
- the end wall 18 can be folded in a conventional way than with two trapezoidal, partially overlapping longitudinal tabs.
- the end wall 18 can also be designed with increased sealing.
- an end wall 35 which is also adjacent to the rear wall 15 is divided on one side by a side cut from adjacent end lobes. For this reason, this area is rectangular and covers a partial area of the forehead 18.
- the opposite area of the face cover tab 35 remains connected to an adjacent face tab 37.
- the outer front cover flap 35 is due to the lack of a separating cut via a triangular folding gusset 42, likewise folded inwards, with the associated front side flap 42 37 connected so that on this side both the front longitudinal flaps 41 and the end flaps 35 form oblique folding edges 43 and 44.
- the area of the face cover flap 35 outside the folded edge 44 is connected to the areas of the face flap located below by gluing or welding.
- an L-shaped adhesive strip 45 is arranged along the free edge of the rectangular part of the front cover flap 35 with a transverse leg 46.
- the leg 46 of the adhesive strip is dimensioned such that there is a connection of the front cover flap 35 in this area with the longitudinal front flap 41 located thereunder.
- a conventional sealing strip or a control mark 47 is placed in the usual way across the end wall 18 of the tinfoil block 11 and extends into the area of the front wall and rear wall of the soft cup 10.
- This control mark 47 covers the central region of the front flap or the Front wall, but also in the embodiment of FIGS. 6 and 8 leaves the non-glued part of the front cover flap 35 and the front longitudinal flap 41 (with the oblique folding edges 43 and 44) free.
- this version of the inner wrapping or packaging can also be opened in a conventional manner, namely by grasping the upper oblique folding edge 44 of the front cover flap 35 and tearing it off along a side edge of the control mark 47 (FIG. 2).
- all the adhesive strips can be attached to the spread blank by printing, in particular in the case of hot-melt strips.
- the adhesive strips are expediently applied only on the side of the paper layer in the case of tinfoil blanks.
