Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung mit einer Umhüllung aus Papier, Karton oder Kunststoffolie für Gebinde aus Zigaretten-Packungen, mit folgenden Merkmalen:

  • Die Umhüllung besteht zur Bildung mehrerer Teilstangen aus mehreren, insbesondere zwei, zumindest lösbar miteinander verbundenen Teilumhüllungen,
  • jede Teilstange bzw. jede Teilumhüllung ist wenigstens an einer Längsseite offen,
  • die Teilumhüllungen nehmen je eine Anzahl von Zigaretten-Packungen - je eine Packungsreihe - auf, wobei die Bodenwände der Zigaretten-Packungen jeweils der offenen Längsseite zugekehrt sind,
  • die Teilumhüllungen liegen mit Deckwandungen aneinander an.
The invention relates to a packaging with a wrapper made of paper, cardboard or plastic film for containers made of cigarette packs, having the following features:
  • The sheath consists of several, in particular two, at least detachably connected partial shells to form several partial bars,
  • each partial bar or each partial covering is open at least on one long side,
  • the partial wrappers each hold a number of cigarette packs - one row of packs each, the bottom walls of the cigarette packs each facing the open long side,
  • the partial wrappings lie against one another with cover walls.

Bei den angesprochenen Verpackungen handelt es sich vor allem um Kleingebinde aus Zigaretten-Packungen, also um sogenannte Zigaretten-Stangen. Bis zu 20 oder 25 Zigaretten-Packungen werden durch eine Umhüllung zu einer Stange zusammengefaßt. Die Umhüllung kann aus Papier, dünnem Karton oder einem Folienmaterial bestehen.The packaging in question is primarily small packages made of cigarette packs, i.e. so-called cigarette packs. Up to 20 or 25 packs of cigarettes are combined into a stick by a wrapper. The wrapper can consist of paper, thin cardboard or a foil material.

Aufgrund gesetzlicher Vorschriften ist es in einigen Ländern erforderlich, jede Zigaretten-Packung bespielsweise mit einem Steuer-Kennzeichen unmittelbar vor der Veräußerung an Endverbraucher zu versehen. Das Kennzeichen, meist eine durch Stempeln angebrachte Markierung, Ziffer, ein Staatswappen oder dergleichen, ist an einem Teil der Zigaretten-Packung, nämlich an der äußeren Umhüllung derselben, anzubringen. Diese Vorschrift bereitet Schwierigkeiten, wenn Zigaretten-Packungen als Stangen abgegeben werden.Due to legal regulations, it is necessary in some countries to provide each pack of cigarettes with a tax code, for example, immediately before being sold to end users. The mark, usually a mark, number, coat of arms or the like applied by stamping, is to be affixed to a part of the cigarette pack, namely to the outer wrapping thereof. This regulation creates difficulties when cigarette packs are dispensed as sticks.

Aus der EP-A-0 122 524 ist eine Packung der eingangs genannten Art bekannt, bei der durch entsprechende Teilumhüllungen zwei Teilstangen gebildet sind. Im Bereich einer schmalen Längsseite sind die Teilstangen nicht von der Umhüllung bedeckt. Schmale Stirnseiten der Zigaretten-Packungen liegen dabei frei.EP-A-0 122 524 discloses a package of the type mentioned in the introduction, in which two partial bars are formed by corresponding partial envelopes. In the area of a narrow long side, the partial bars are not covered by the covering. Narrow ends of the cigarette packs are exposed.

Die US-A-2 895 601 zeigt eine einfache Zigaretten-Stange mit einer weitgehend offenen schmalen Längsseite, über die mehrere Klebestreifen querliegend aufgebracht sind.US-A-2 895 601 shows a simple cigarette stick with a largely open narrow long side, over which several adhesive strips are applied transversely.

Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verpackung der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, daß die nebeneinanderliegenden Teilstangen auf möglichst einfache Weise verschließbar sind und zugleich die erforderlichen Markierungen, Kennzeichen oder dergleichen ohne Veränderung der Verpackung, insbesondere ohne Öffnen derselben, an den einzelnen Zigaretten-Packungen angebracht werden können.The invention is based on the object of designing a packaging of the type mentioned in such a way that the adjacent partial bars can be closed in the simplest possible manner and at the same time the required markings, marks or the like on the individual cigarettes without changing the packaging, in particular without opening them -Packages can be attached.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß zumindest die Zigaretten-Packungen je einer Teilstange im Bereich der Bodenwände durch einen gemeinsamen klebenden Folienstreifen miteinander und mit der in diesem Bereich offenen Umhüllung verbunden sind.To achieve this object, the packaging according to the invention is characterized in that at least the cigarette packs each have a partial rod in the region of the bottom walls are connected to one another and to the covering which is open in this area by means of a common adhesive film strip.

Bei der Erfindung ist die Verpackung so ausgebildet, daß die die Zigaretten-Packungen aufnehmende Umhüllung teilweise offen bleibt, insbesondere im Bereich der Bodenwände der Zigaretten-Packungen. Hier sind die ggf. gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen Markierungen an den Zigaretten-Packungen anzubringen. Um gleichwohl die Verpackung als dauerhaft zusammenhängende Einheit zu gestalten, sind im Bereich der offenen Seiten der Umhüllung streifenförmige Folien angebracht, die einerseits mit den freiliegenden Flächen - Bodenwände - der Zigaretten-Packungen und anderserseits mit der Umhüllung verklebt sind. Die Markierungen werden dabei an der durch Klebung mit jeder Zigaretten-Packung verbundenen Folie angebracht. Bei Ingebrauchnahme der Verpackung wird die Folie im Bereich zwischen den einzelnen Zigaretten-Packungen durchtrennt, insbesondere durch eine entsprechend angebrachte Perforierung oder andere Material-Schwächung als vorgegebene Trennlinie. Es bleiben somit einzelne Abschnitte der mit der Markierung versehenen Folie dauerhaft an jeder Zigaretten-Packung. Eine so ausgebildete Verpackung bzw. Zigaretten-Stange kann beispielsweise in einem Großhandelsbetrieb oder bei einem Einzelhändler mit der erforderlichen Markierung versehen werden, ohne daß es besonderer Manipulationen an der Verpackung bedarf.In the case of the invention, the packaging is designed such that the covering receiving the cigarette packs remains partially open, in particular in the region of the bottom walls of the cigarette packs. The legally required markings on the cigarette packs are to be attached here. In order to nevertheless design the packaging as a permanently coherent unit, strip-shaped foils are attached in the area of the open sides of the wrapper, which are glued on the one hand to the exposed surfaces - bottom walls - of the cigarette packs and on the other hand to the wrapper. The markings are attached to the film that is bonded to each pack of cigarettes. When the packaging is put into use, the film is cut in the area between the individual cigarette packs, in particular by means of a correspondingly provided perforation or other material weakening as a predetermined dividing line. Individual sections of the film provided with the marking thus remain permanently on each pack of cigarettes. A packaging or cigarette stick designed in this way can be provided with the necessary marking, for example in a wholesale company or at a retailer, without requiring any special manipulations on the packaging.

Die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung der Verpackung hat darüber hinaus den Vorteil einer einfachen Herstellung und der Einsparung von Material für die Umhüllung. Des weiteren lassen die offenen Seiten der Umhüllung den Packungsinhalt erkennen, insbesondere bei Verwendung einer durchsichtigen Folie als Verschluß für die offenen Seiten.The inventive design of the packaging also has the advantage of simple manufacture and the saving of material for the wrapping. Furthermore, the open sides of the wrapper reveal the contents of the pack, especially when using a transparent film as a closure for the open sides.

Erfindungsgemäß besteht die Verpackung aus vorzugsweise zwei Teilumhüllungen, die lösbar miteinander verbunden sind, derart, daß offene Seiten, insbesondere offene Längsseiten nebeneinanderliegen. Diese sind dann alternativ durch einen gemeinsamen, entsprechend bemessenen Folienstreifen oder durch jeder Teilstange zugeordnete Einzelstreifen verschlossen. Die erforderlichen Markierungen werden an den Zigaretten-Packungen der kompletten Verpackung gemeinsam bzw. gleichzeitig angebracht. Danach kann die Verpackung in Teilstangen aufgelöst und abgegeben werden.According to the invention, the packaging preferably consists of two partial wrappings which are detachably connected to one another in such a way that open sides, in particular open long sides, lie next to one another. These are then alternatively closed by a common, appropriately sized film strip or by individual strips assigned to each partial rod. The required markings are attached to the cigarette packs of the complete packaging together or simultaneously. After that, the packaging can be broken down into partial bars and handed over.

Die in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele einer Verpackung betreffen sogenannte Stangen 20 zur Aufnahme einer Mehrzahl von Kleinpackungen, im vorliegenden Falle Zigaretten-Packungen 21. Jeweils eine Gruppe von nebeneinanderliegenden Zigaretten-Packungen 21 ist von einer Umhüllung 22 aus Papier, Karton oder Folienmaterial umgeben.The exemplary embodiments of a packaging shown in the drawings relate to so-called rods 20 for holding a plurality of small packs, in the present case cigarette packs 21. A group of cigarette packs 21 lying next to one another is surrounded by a wrapping 22 made of paper, cardboard or film material.

Bei den gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen besteht jede Stange 20 aus zehn Zigaretten-Packungen 21. Diese sind in zwei Packungsreihen 23, 24 nebeneinander und übereinander angeordnet, derart, daß schmale Seitenflächen 25 benachbarter Zigaretten-Packungen 21 aneinanderliegen. Die Zigaretten-Packungen 21 sind mit ihrer Längsachse quer zur Längserstreckung der Stange 20 orientiert. Stirnwände 26 und Bodenwände 27 liegen dadurch frei, ohne Berührung mit benachbarten Zigaretten-Packungen 21.In the exemplary embodiments shown, each rod 20 consists of ten cigarette packs 21. These are arranged in two pack rows 23, 24 side by side and one above the other in such a way that narrow side surfaces 25 of adjacent cigarette packs 21 abut one another. The cigarette packs 21 are oriented with their longitudinal axis transverse to the longitudinal extent of the rod 20. End walls 26 and bottom walls 27 are thus exposed without touching adjacent cigarette packs 21.

Die Umhüllung 22 ist so angeordnet, daß eine Seite derselben, nämlich eine Längsseite 28, offen ist. Im Bereich dieser offenen Längsseite 28 der Umhüllung 22 liegen die Bodenwände 27 der Zigaretten-Packungen 21 nebeneinander. Diese sind demnach innerhalb der Umhüllung 22 freiliegend.The envelope 22 is arranged so that one side thereof, namely a long side 28, is open. In the area of this open longitudinal side 28 of the wrapper 22, the bottom walls 27 of the cigarette packs 21 lie side by side. Accordingly, these are exposed within the envelope 22.

Um gleichwohl die Stange 20 ausreichend haltbar zu verschließen, ist im Bereich der offenen Längsseite 28 ein Verschlußstreifen angebracht, nämlich aus einer klebenden, insbesondere selbstklebenden Folie. Diese ist in Gestalt eines Folienstreifens 29 über die offene Längsseite 28 der Umhüllung 22 geführt unter (vollflächiger) Verklebung mit den Bodenwänden 27 der Zigaretten-Packungen 21. Diese sind dadurch miteinander und auch mit der Umhüllung 22 verbunden.In order to nevertheless seal the rod 20 with sufficient durability, a sealing strip is attached in the region of the open longitudinal side 28, namely from an adhesive, in particular self-adhesive film. This is guided in the form of a film strip 29 over the open longitudinal side 28 of the wrapper 22 with (full-surface) gluing to the bottom walls 27 of the cigarette packs 21. These are connected to one another and also to the wrapper 22.

Der Folienstreifen 29 ist in Längsrichtung so bemessen, daß Folienenden 30 mit der Außenseite der Umhüllung 22 verbunden sind, und zwar mit quergerichteten Schmalseiten 31 derselben. Dadurch ist der Folienstreifen 29 dauerhaft mit der Umhüllung 22 verbunden.The film strip 29 is dimensioned in the longitudinal direction so that film ends 30 are connected to the outside of the envelope 22, with transverse narrow sides 31 thereof. As a result, the film strip 29 is permanently connected to the casing 22.

Die Breite des Folienstreifens 29 ist bei den vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispielen geringer als die Breite bzw. Höhe der Stange 20 und auch geringer als die Breite bzw. Höhe der neben- oder übereinander angeordneten Zigaretten-Packungen 21.In the present exemplary embodiments, the width of the film strip 29 is less than the width or height of the rod 20 and also less than the width or height of the cigarette packs 21 arranged next to or above one another.

An der Außenseite des Folienstreifens 29 können im Bereich jeder Zigaretten-Packung 21 Markierungen 32 angebracht werden, insbesondere durch ein bewegbares Stempelorgan, an dem die Stange 20 mit dem Folienstreifen 29 vorbeibewegt wird.On the outside of the film strip 29, markings 32 can be made in the area of each cigarette pack 21, in particular by means of a movable stamp member, along which the rod 20 with the film strip 29 is moved.

Für die Ingebrauchnahme der Stange 20 ist der Folienstreifen 29 in einzelne Folienstücke 33 auftrennbar, die jeder Zigaretten-Packung 21 zugeordnet sind und an der Bodenwand 27 haften. Zu diesem Zweck ist der Folienstreifen 29 mit Schwächungslinien im Bereich zwischen den Zigaretten-Packungen 21 versehen. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 bis 4 ist der gemeinsame Folienstreifen 29 mit einer Längsperforierung 34 und Querperforierungen 35 versehen. Die vorgenannten Perforierungen 34 und 35 erstrecken sich jeweils im Bereich von Stoßflächen zwischen benachbarten Zigaretten-Packungen 21.For the use of the rod 20, the film strip 29 can be separated into individual film pieces 33, which are assigned to each cigarette pack 21 and adhere to the bottom wall 27. For this purpose, the film strip 29 is provided with lines of weakness in the area between the cigarette packs 21. In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 4, the common film strip 29 is provided with a longitudinal perforation 34 and transverse perforations 35. The aforementioned perforations 34 and 35 each extend in the area of abutting surfaces between adjacent packs of cigarettes 21.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 6 bis 12 ist die offene Längsseite 28 der Umhüllung 22 durch zwei Einzelstreifen 36, 37 aus (selbst-)klebender Folie verschlossen. Die Einzelstreifen 36, 37 haben hier eine geringere Breite als die Höhe bzw. Breite der Zigaretten-Packungen 21. Zur mittigen Anbringung in bezug auf die Bodenwände 27 verlaufen die Einzelstreifen 36, 37 mit einem Abstand voneinander. Streifenenden 38, 39 sind mit den Schmalseiten 31 der Stange 20 verbunden. Jeweils in der Trennebene zwischen benachbarten Zigaretten-Packungen 21 ist in den Einzelstreifen 36, 37 eine Querperforierung 40 angebracht zur Bildung von Folienstücken 33 an jeder Bodenwand 27 der Zigaretten-Packungen 21.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 6 to 12, the open longitudinal side 28 of the casing 22 is closed by two individual strips 36, 37 made of (self-) adhesive film. The individual strips 36, 37 here have a smaller width than the height or width of the cigarette packs 21. For individual attachment in relation to the bottom walls 27, the individual strips 36, 37 run at a distance from one another. Strip ends 38, 39 are connected to the narrow sides 31 of the rod 20. In each case in the parting plane between adjacent cigarette packs 21, a transverse perforation 40 is provided in the individual strips 36, 37 to form pieces of film 33 on each bottom wall 27 of the cigarette packs 21.

Die gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiele enthalten eine weitere Besonderheit durch Ausbildung als "Doppelstange". Jede Stange 20 besteht hier aus zwei Teilstangen 41, 42. Diese wiederum sind mit einer gesonderten Teilumhüllung 43, 44 versehen mit jeweils einer offenen Längsseite 28. Die Teilstangen 41, 42 sind lösbar miteinander verbunden. Zu diesem Zweck werden hier die Teilstangen 41 42 aus einem gemeinsamen Zuschnitt (Fig. 5) gebildet, dessen Teilzuschnitte 45, 46 über eine Perforationsfaltlinie 47 abtrennbar miteinander verbunden sind.The exemplary embodiments shown contain a further special feature due to their design as a “double rod”. Each rod 20 here consists of two partial rods 41, 42. These in turn are provided with a separate partial covering 43, 44, each with an open longitudinal side 28. The partial rods 41, 42 are detachably connected to one another. For this purpose, the partial rods 41 42 are formed from a common blank (FIG. 5), the partial blanks 45, 46 of which are connected to one another by a perforation fold line 47.

Des weiteren sind hier Leimpunkte 48 im Bereich von einander zugekehrten inneren Deckwandungen 49 der Teilumhüllungen 43, 44 angebracht. Die vorgenannten Deckwandungen 49 liegen bei kompletten "Doppelstange" aneinander und sind lösbar (zusätzlich) durch die Leimpunkte 48 miteinander verbunden.Furthermore, glue points 48 are attached in the region of mutually facing inner cover walls 49 of the partial envelopes 43, 44. The above-mentioned top walls 49 lie against one another in the case of complete “double rods” and are detachably (additionally) connected to one another by the glue points 48.

Die über die Perforationsfaltlinie 47 zu einer Einheit miteinander verbundenen Teilzuschnitte 45, 46 weisen Flächenbereiche zur Bildung von Längsseitenwänden 50 und der Schmalseiten 31 auf. Letztere werden durch einander teilweise überdeckende Faltlappen gebildet, nämlich durch innenliegende, trapezförmige Innenlappen 51 im Bereich der inneren Deckwandungen 49, dreieckförmige Innenlappen 52 im Bereich der schmalen Längsseitenwände 50 und rechteckige Auslappen 53 im Bereich von außenliegenden Deckwandungen 54. Durch die Gestaltung der trapezförmigen Innenlappen 52 wird erreicht, daß diese in der Faltstellung (Fig. 7) einander nicht überlappen, sondern in einer Ebene nebeneinanderliegen. Die Innenlappen 51 und 52 werden durch den die volle Schmalseite 31 bildenden Außenlappen 53 überdeckt. Dieser ist mit den Innenlappen 51 und 52 durch Klebung verbunden.The partial blanks 45, 46 which are connected to one another via the perforation folding line 47 have surface areas for forming longitudinal side walls 50 and the narrow sides 31. The latter are formed by folding tabs that partially overlap one another, namely by inner trapezoidal inner tabs 51 in the area of the inner top walls 49, triangular inner tabs 52 in the area of the narrow longitudinal side walls 50 and rectangular flaps 53 in the area of outer top walls 54 is achieved that they do not overlap each other in the folded position (Fig. 7), but lie next to each other in one plane. The inner tabs 51 and 52 are covered by the outer tab 53 forming the full narrow side 31. This is connected to the inner tabs 51 and 52 by gluing.

Die so ausgebildete "Doppelstange" kann als Einheit an den Verbraucher abgegeben werden. Sie kann aber auch in die beiden Teilstangen 41, 42 aufgetrennt werden, wie in Fig. 7 bzw. in Fig. 11 und 12 gezeigt. Dabei werden zunächst die beiden Teilstangen 41, 42 auf der Seite des Folienstreifens 29 bzw. der Einzelstreifen 36, 37 voneinander abgehoben, unter Aufhebung einer gegebenenfallls vorhandenen Verklebung. Danach kann die Perforationslinie 47 durch Brechen der Teilstangen 41, 42 um eine zur Perforationslinie 47 gegenüberliegende Kante durchtrennt werden (Fig. 11). Jede Teilstange 41, 42 ist nun eine selbständig handelsfähige Einheit.The "double rod" thus formed can be delivered to the consumer as a unit. However, it can also be separated into the two partial rods 41, 42, as shown in FIG. 7 or in FIGS. 11 and 12. First of all, the two partial bars 41, 42 on the side of the film strip 29 or the individual strips 36, 37 are lifted off one another, while eliminating any glue that may be present. The perforation line 47 can then be severed by breaking the partial bars 41, 42 around an edge opposite the perforation line 47 (FIG. 11). Each partial bar 41, 42 is now an independently tradable unit.
