Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung, insbesondere Weichbecher-Packung für Zigaretten oder dergleichen, mit wenigstens einer aus faltbarem Verpackungsmaterial bestehenden (Innen-)Umhüllung, die im Bereich einer oberen Stirnwand zwei Längslappen aufweist, die mit einer Vorderwand einerseits und einer Rückwand andererseits verbunden sind.The invention relates to packaging, in particular soft-cup packaging for cigarettes or the like, with at least one (inner) wrapping made of foldable packaging material, which has two longitudinal tabs in the region of an upper end wall, which are connected to a front wall on the one hand and a rear wall on the other hand.

Weichbecher-Packungen sind ein weltweit stark verbreiteter Packungstyp für Zigaretten. Der Packungsinhalt, also eine Zigaretten-Gruppe, wird vollständig von einer (Innen-)Umhüllung umgeben. Diese besteht vorwiegend aus Stanniol, neuerdings aber auch aus beschichtetem Papier oder dergleichen. Der blockförmige Packungsinhalt wird üblicherweise so von der Umhüllung umgeben, daß im Bereich einer oberen Stirnwand eine Couvert-Faltung entsteht. Trapezförmige Längslappen sind einerseits mit der Vorderwand und andererseits mit der Rückwand der Umhüllung verbunden. Die Gestalt der Längslappen entsteht durch Einfaltung von mit diesen verbundenen Seitenlappen als Verlängerung von langgestreckten Seitenwänden der Umhüllung.Soft cup packs are a type of pack of cigarettes that is widely used worldwide. The contents of the pack, i.e. a group of cigarettes, are completely surrounded by an (inner) wrapper. This consists mainly of tinfoil, but recently also of coated paper or the like. The block-shaped package content is usually so surrounded by the envelope that an envelope fold is formed in the area of an upper end wall. Trapezoidal longitudinal tabs are connected on the one hand to the front wall and on the other hand to the rear wall of the envelope. The shape of the longitudinal tabs is created by folding in side tabs connected to them as an extension of elongated side walls of the envelope.

Die so ausgebildete (Innen-)Umhüllung ist bei einer Weichbecher-Packung von einem üblicherweise aus Papier gebildeten Becher umgeben. Dieser ist im Bereich der Stirnwand offen, so daß die Innenumhüllung geringfügig, jedenfalls mit der Stirnwand, aus dem Becher herausragt. Bei einer Zigarettenpackung ist als Außenumhüllung eine bei Ingebrauchnahme zu entfernende Außenumhüllung aus Zellglas oder Kunststoffolie vorgesehen.In the case of a soft cup pack, the (inner) wrapping thus formed is surrounded by a cup usually made of paper. This is open in the area of the end wall, so that the inner covering protrudes slightly, at least with the end wall, from the cup. In the case of a cigarette pack, an outer wrapper made of cellophane or plastic film is provided as the outer wrapper.

Die Weichbecher-Packungen leiden darunter, daß die Entnahme des Packungsinhalts, also insbesondere der Zigaretten, mit Aufwand verbunden ist. Üblicherweise wird von Hand ein Teilbereich der Stirnwand durch Abreißen entfernt, so daß eine Entnahmeöffnung entsteht. Diese bleibt dann bis zur Entleerung der Packung offen.The soft cup packs suffer from the fact that the removal of the pack contents, in particular the cigarettes, is associated with expenditure. A portion of the end wall is usually removed by hand by tearing, so that a removal opening is created. This remains open until the package is emptied.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Verpackung, insbesondere Weichbecher-Packungen, dahingehend weiterzuentwickeln und zu verbessern, daß eine erleichterte Entnahme der Packungsinhalts, insbesondere der Zigaretten, ermöglicht und ein besserer Schutz derselben nach Öffnen der Verpackung gewährleistet ist.The invention is based on the object of further developing and improving packaging, in particular soft cup packs, in such a way that easier removal of the package contents, in particular cigarettes, is made possible and better protection of the same is ensured after opening the packaging.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die erfindungsgemäße Verpakkung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß einer der Längslappen der Stirnwand, insbesondere der mit der Vorderwand verbundene Längslappen, an der Vorderwand anliegt und an dieser befestigt ist.To achieve this object, the packaging according to the invention is characterized in that one of the longitudinal tabs of the end wall, in particular the longitudinal tab connected to the front wall, bears against the front wall and is fastened to it.

Durch diese Gestaltung der Packung bzw. der Stirnwand wird im Bereich derselben eine mittige Entnahmeöffnung gebildet, die lediglich durch den in der Stirnwand verbleibenden, mit der Rückwand verbundenen Längslappen überdeckt ist. Durch Anheben des Längslappens wird diese Entnahmeöffnung, die sich zwischen den eingefalteten Seitenlappen erstreckt, für die Entnahme von Zigaretten frei. Nach Entnahme von Zigaretten kann die Öffnung wieder verschlossen werden durch Zurückschwenken des Längslappens in die Ebene der Stirnwand.This design of the pack or end wall a central removal opening is formed in the area thereof, which is only covered by the longitudinal tabs remaining in the end wall and connected to the rear wall. By lifting the longitudinal tab, this removal opening, which extends between the folded-in side tabs, is free for the removal of cigarettes. After removing cigarettes, the opening can be closed again by pivoting the longitudinal tab back into the plane of the end wall.

Gemäß einem weiteren Vorschlag der Erfindung ist der in der Stirnwand sich erstreckende Längslappen durch ein Verschlußorgan zu betätigen, insbesondere durch einen Klebestreifen, der einerseits mit der Außenseite des Längslappens und andererseits mit der Vorderseite der Packung, z.B. der Becher-Umhüllung verbunden ist. Mittels Grifflasche kann der Klebestreifen erfaßt und von der Vorderwand der Becher-Umhüllung abgezogen werden. Bei weiterer Betätigung wird der Längslappen aus der Ebene der Stirnwand herausbewegt, so daß die Entnahmeöffnung frei kommt.According to a further proposal of the invention, the longitudinal flap extending in the end wall is to be actuated by a closure member, in particular by an adhesive strip which is on the one hand connected to the outside of the longitudinal flap and on the other hand to the front of the pack, e.g. the cup wrapper is connected. The adhesive strip can be gripped by means of a grip tab and pulled off the front wall of the cup casing. Upon further actuation, the longitudinal tab is moved out of the plane of the end wall, so that the removal opening is clear.

Eine weitere, wichtige Verbesserung der Erfindung besteht darin, daß Teile anderer Stirnwandlappen, insbesondere der Seitenlappen, mit dem Längslappen verbunden und durch Schwächungslinien, insbesondere Perforationslinien, abgetrennt werden können. Dadurch wird beim Öffnen der Verpackung eine größere Entnahmeöffnung erzeugt.Another important improvement of the invention is that parts of other end wall tabs, in particular the side tabs, can be connected to the longitudinal tab and separated by lines of weakness, in particular perforation lines. This creates a larger removal opening when the packaging is opened.

Schließlich ist Gegenstand der Erfindung die Anordnung einer Entnahmehilfe für die Zigaretten in Gestalt eines in die Innenumhüllung integrierten Aushebestreifens.Finally, the subject of the invention is the arrangement of a removal aid for the cigarettes in the form of a lifting strip integrated into the inner casing.

Das in den Zeichnungen dargestellte, bevorzugte Ausführungsbeispiel bezieht sich auf eine Weichbecher-Packung für Zigaretten 10. Eine Zigaretten-Gruppe 11 ist von einer Innenumhüllung 12 umgeben. Diese besteht aus faltbarem Verpackungsmaterial, insbesondere Stanniol, Papier oder dergleichen. Die Zigaretten-Gruppe 11 ist allseitig von der Innenumhüllung 12 umgeben, so daß ein blockförmiges Gebilde, nämlich ein Zigaretten-Block 13, entsteht.The preferred exemplary embodiment shown in the drawings relates to a soft-cup pack for cigarettes 10. A cigarette group 11 is surrounded by an inner wrapper 12. This consists of foldable packaging material, in particular tinfoil, paper or the like. The cigarette group 11 is surrounded on all sides by the inner wrapper 12, so that a block-shaped structure, namely a cigarette block 13, is created.

Der Zigaretten-Block 13 sitzt in einer oben offenen, becherförmigen Außenumhüllung, nämlich in einer Becher-Umhüllung 14. Diese besteht üblicherweise aus Papier oder einem anderen dünnen, faltbaren Verpackungsmaterial. Die Becher-Umhüllung 14 ist oben offen, so daß der Zigaretten-Block 13 geringfügig aus der Becherumhüllung 14 herausragt. Eine Stirnwand 15 der Innenumhüllung 12 liegt frei.The cigarette block 13 is seated in a cup-shaped outer wrapper which is open at the top, namely in a cup wrapper 14. This usually consists of paper or another thin, foldable packaging material. The cup wrapper 14 is open at the top, so that the cigarette block 13 protrudes slightly from the cup wrapper 14. An end wall 15 of the inner casing 12 is exposed.

Die Stirnwand 15 der Innenumhüllung 12 ist in besonderer Weise ausgebildet. Sie besteht aus mehreren Stirnwandlappen. Es handelt sich dabei zum einen um zwei trapezförmige Längslappen 16 und 17. Beide sind mit großflächigen Wänden der Innenumhüllung 12 verbunden. Der Längslappen 16 ist bei dem gezeigten Beispiel mit einer Vorderwand 18 und der Längslappen 17 mit einer Rückwand 19 verbunden. Zum anderen besteht die Stirnwand 15 aus gegen die Enden der Zigaretten 10 gefalteten Seitenlappen 20, 21. Diese sind jeweils mit Seitenwänden 22, 23 der Innenumhüllung 12 verbunden und werden von den schmalen Seiten der Stirnwand 15 her in die packungsgerechte Position gefaltet.The end wall 15 of the inner casing 12 is designed in a special way. It consists of several end wall lobes. On the one hand, there are two trapezoidal longitudinal tabs 16 and 17. Both are large-area Walls of the inner casing 12 connected. In the example shown, the longitudinal tab 16 is connected to a front wall 18 and the longitudinal tab 17 to a rear wall 19. On the other hand, the end wall 15 consists of side tabs 20, 21 folded against the ends of the cigarettes 10. These are each connected to side walls 22, 23 of the inner wrapper 12 and are folded from the narrow sides of the end wall 15 into the pack-appropriate position.

Im Bereich der Stirnwand 15 ist eine Entnahmeöffnung 24 für die Zigaretten 10 gebildet. Die Entnahmeöffnung 24 liegt im mittleren Bereich der Stirnwand 15 und erstreckt sich über die volle Breite derselben. Seitlich ist die Entnahmeöffnung 24 von den Seitenlappen 20, 21 begrenzt.A removal opening 24 for the cigarettes 10 is formed in the region of the end wall 15. The removal opening 24 lies in the central region of the end wall 15 and extends over the full width of the same. The removal opening 24 is laterally delimited by the side tabs 20, 21.

Die Entnahmeöffnung 24 ist durch lediglich einen Längslappen, im vorliegenden Fall durch den mit der Rückwand 19 verbundenen Längslappen 17 verschließbar. Dieser entspricht im mittleren Bereich der Breite der Stirnwand 15, so daß in Schließstellung die Entnahmeöffnung 24 durch den (Schließ-) Längslappen 17 vollständig überdeckt wird.The removal opening 24 can be closed by only one longitudinal tab, in the present case by the longitudinal tab 17 connected to the rear wall 19. This corresponds in the central region to the width of the end wall 15, so that in the closed position the removal opening 24 is completely covered by the (closing) longitudinal tab 17.

Um die Entnahmeöffnung 24 freizugeben, ist der andere, hier mit der Vorderwand 18 verbundene Längslappen 16 dauerhaft aus dem Bereich der Stirnwand 15 herausgenommen. Zu diesem Zweck ist der Längslappen 16 gegen die Vorderwand 18 gefaltet und in dieser Position fixiert. Bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel wird der Längslappen 16 durch die Becher-Umhüllung 14 an der Vorderwand 18 gehalten. Der Längslappen 16 erstreckt sich demnach zwischen einer Becher-Vorderwand 25 der Becher-Umhüllung 14 und der Vorderwand 18 der Innenumhüllung 12. Dadurch ist der andere Längslappen 17 der einzige Schließlappen für die Entnahmeöffnung 24.In order to open the removal opening 24, the other longitudinal tab 16 connected here to the front wall 18 is permanently removed from the area of the front wall 15. For this purpose, the longitudinal tab 16 is folded against the front wall 18 and fixed in this position. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the longitudinal tab 16 is held on the front wall 18 by the cup covering 14. The longitudinal tab 16 accordingly extends between a cup front wall 25 of the cup casing 14 and the front wall 18 of the inner casing 12. As a result, the other longitudinal tab 17 is the only closing tab for the removal opening 24.

Um die Verpackung bei Ingebrauchnahme leicht öffnen und nach Entnahme von Zigaretten wieder verschließen zu können, ist dem Längslappen 17 eine Öffnungs- und Schließhilfe zugeordnet. Diese ist hier als Klebestreifen 26 ausgebildet. Dieser erstreckt sich in Schließstellung der Packung (Fig. 2 und Fig. 3) in Querrichtung über die Stirnwand 15 mit Schenkeln 27 und 28 im Bereich einer Becher-Rückwand 29 sowie im Bereich der Becher-Vorderwand 25. Ein mittlerer Bereich 30 des Klebestreifens 26 ist mit dem Längslappen 17 verbunden. Der auf der Vorderseite der Verpackung an der Becher-Vorderwand 25 anliegende Schenkel 27 ist mit einem klebstofffreien Griffende 31 versehen. An diesem kann der Klebestreifen 26 erfaßt, von der Becher-Vorderwand 25 abgezogen und unter Mitnahme des als Schließlappen wirkenden Längslappens 17 nach hinten geschwenkt werden. Dadurch kommt die Entnahmeöffnung 24 frei. In umgekehrter Bewegungsrichtung wird die Packung wieder verschlossen und der Schenkel 27 an der Becher-Vorderwand 25 durch Ankleben befestigt.In order to be able to open the packaging easily when put into use and to be able to close it again after removing cigarettes, an opening and closing aid is assigned to the longitudinal tab 17. This is designed here as an adhesive strip 26. This extends in the closed position of the pack (FIGS. 2 and 3) in the transverse direction over the end wall 15 with legs 27 and 28 in the area of a cup rear wall 29 and in the area of the cup front wall 25. A central area 30 of the adhesive strip 26 is connected to the longitudinal tab 17. The leg 27 which bears against the front wall 25 of the packaging is provided with an adhesive-free handle end 31. On this, the adhesive strip 26 can be gripped, removed from the front wall 25 of the cup and pivoted backwards with the entrainment of the longitudinal tab 17 acting as a closing tab. As a result, the removal opening 24 is clear. In the opposite direction of movement, the pack is closed again and the leg 27 is attached to the front wall 25 of the cup by gluing.

Bei dem Klebestreifen 25 kann es sich um ein herkömmliches tape, aber auch um eine Steuerbanderole oder ein anderes Verschlußorgan handeln. Wenn auf die Wiederverschließbarkeit verzichtet wird, kann auch eine Papier-Banderole den Längslappen 17 vor Ingebrauchnahme der Verpackung in Schließstellung halten.The adhesive strip 25 can be a conventional tape, but it can also be a tax label or other sealing element. If resealability is dispensed with, a paper sleeve can also hold the longitudinal tab 17 in the closed position before the packaging is put into use.

Die Entnahmeöffnung 24 ist im vorliegenden Fall erweitert, und zwar mit einer in Richtung zur Rückwand 19 zunehmenden Querabmessung. Die Entnahmeöffnung 24 erhält dadurch eine trapezförmige Gestalt mit einer der Breite der Stirnwand entsprechenden Abmessung. Diese Vergrößerung der Entnahmeöffnung 24 wird dadurch erreicht, daß beim erstmaligen Öffnen der Verpackung randseitige Teilstücke der Seitenlappen 20, 21 mit in die Öffnungsstellung bewegt werden.In the present case, the removal opening 24 is widened, specifically with an increasing transverse dimension in the direction of the rear wall 19. The removal opening 24 is thereby given a trapezoidal shape with a dimension corresponding to the width of the end wall. This enlargement of the removal opening 24 is achieved in that when the packaging is opened for the first time, marginal portions of the side tabs 20, 21 are also moved into the open position.

Bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel sind dreieckförmige Randstücke 32, 33 der Seitenlappen 20, 21 mit der zugekehrten Innenseite des Längslappens 17 verbunden, derart, daß diese Randstücke 32, 33 beim erstmaligen Öffnen der Verpackung von den Seitenlappen 20, 21 abgetrennt und dadurch mit in die Öffnungsstellung bewegt werden.In the present exemplary embodiment, triangular edge pieces 32, 33 of the side tabs 20, 21 are connected to the facing inner side of the longitudinal tab 17 such that these edge pieces 32, 33 are separated from the side tabs 20, 21 when the packaging is opened for the first time and thereby be moved into the open position.

Die Randstücke 32, 33 sind innerhalb der Seitenlappen 20, 21 durch eine Reiß- bzw. Schwächungslinie markiert, im vorliegenden Fall durch eine schräg verlaufende Perforationslinie 34. Entlang dieser Perforationslinie 34 werden die Randstücke 32, 33 von den Seitenlappen 20, 21 durch Anheben des Längslappens 17 abgetrennt. Dies wird durch Verbindung der Randstücke 32, 33 mit dem Längslappen 17 ermöglicht. Bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Randstücke 32, 33 durch dreieckförmige Leimflächen 35 mit dem Längslappen 17 verbunden.The edge pieces 32, 33 are marked within the side tabs 20, 21 by a tear or weakening line, in the present case by an oblique perforation line 34. Along this perforation line 34, the edge pieces 32, 33 are separated from the side tabs 20, 21 by lifting the Longitudinal tab 17 separated. This is made possible by connecting the edge pieces 32, 33 to the longitudinal tab 17. In the present exemplary embodiment, the edge pieces 32, 33 are connected to the longitudinal tab 17 by triangular glue surfaces 35.

Die Innenumhüllung 12 besteht aus einem rechteckigen Zuschnitt gemäß Fig. 5. In diesem sind Wände und Faltlappen durch Faltlinien 36 markiert. Faltlappen zur Bildung der Stirnwand 15 sind bei diesem Zuschnitt so ausgebildet, daß sie in der Breite der entsprechenden Abmessung der Stirnwand 15 entsprechen. Daraus ergibt sich, daß der Längslappen 17 im mittleren Bereich die volle Breite der Stirnwand 15 abdeckt.The inner covering 12 consists of a rectangular blank according to FIG. 5. In this, walls and folding tabs are marked by folding lines 36. Folding flaps for forming the end wall 15 are formed in this blank so that they correspond in width to the corresponding dimension of the end wall 15. It follows from this that the longitudinal tab 17 covers the full width of the end wall 15 in the central region.

Der Zuschnitt wird bei der Herstellung der Verpackung bzw. des Zigaretten-Blocks 13 schlauchartig um den Packungsinhalt herumgefaltet. Bei dem vorliegenden Beispiel ist der Zuschnitt im Bereich der Vorderwand 18 geteilt. Vorderwandlappen 37 und 38 unterschiedlicher Breite überdecken einander teilweise zur Bildung der Vorderwand 18. Die Vorderwandlappen 37, 38 sind durch Klebung miteinander verbunden, bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel durch zwei im Abstand voneinander angeordnete, aufrechte Leimstreifen 39 und 40. Die Anordnung ist so getroffen, daß der größere bzw. breitere Vorderwandlappen 38 innen liegt, also an den Zigaretten 10, während der kürzere Vorderwandlappen 37 außen aufliegt und durch die dort verlaufenden Leimstreifen 39, 40 mit dem Vorderwandlappen 38 verbunden ist.The blank is folded like a tube around the contents of the package during the manufacture of the packaging or the cigarette block 13. In the present example, the blank is divided in the region of the front wall 18. Front wall tabs 37 and 38 of different widths partially overlap each other to form the front wall 18. The front wall tabs 37, 38 are bonded to one another, in the present exemplary embodiment by two spaced-apart, upright glue strips 39 and 40. The arrangement is such that the larger or wider front wall flap 38 lies on the inside, that is to say on the cigarettes 10, while the shorter front wall flap 37 rests on the outside and is connected to the front wall flap 38 by the adhesive strips 39, 40 running there.

In der schlauchförmigen Zwischenfaltstellung der Innenumhüllung 12 stehen die Faltlappen für die Stirnwand 15 einerseits und Faltlappen für eine Bodenwand 41 andererseits über den Packungsinhalt hinweg. Es werden nun zuerst die sich in Verlängerung der Seitenwände 22, 23 erstreckenden Seitenlappen 20, 21 nach innen gegen den Packungsinhalt gefaltet. Dabei werden durch schräge Faltlinien 36 begrenzte, dreieckige Faltzwickel 42, 43 als Teile der Längslappen 16, 17 gegen deren Innenseite gefaltet. Die Längslappen 16, 17 erhalten dadurch die trapezförmige Gestalt. Sie sind im Bereich der Faltzwickel 42, 43 doppellagig ausgebildet. Die Faltzwickel 42, 43 schließen an die Seitenlappen 20, 21 an. Die hier dreieckigen Randstücke 32, 33 der Seitenlappen 20, 21 sind über die Leimflächen 35 mit den unmittelbar benachbarten Faltzwickeln 42, 43 verbunden.In the tubular intermediate folding position of the inner covering 12 the folding tabs for the end wall 15 on the one hand and folding tabs for a bottom wall 41 on the other hand stand over the contents of the pack. The side flaps 20, 21 extending in the extension of the side walls 22, 23 are now first folded inwards against the contents of the package. Triangular folding gussets 42, 43 delimited by oblique folding lines 36 are folded against the inside thereof as parts of the longitudinal flaps 16, 17. The longitudinal tabs 16, 17 thereby get the trapezoidal shape. They are double-layered in the area of the folding gussets 42, 43. The folding gussets 42, 43 connect to the side tabs 20, 21. The triangular edge pieces 32, 33 of the side tabs 20, 21 are connected to the immediately adjacent folding gussets 42, 43 via the glue surfaces 35.

Die Bodenwand 41 ist ähnlich ausgestaltet, nämlich mit trapezförmigen Längslappen und Seitenlappen, analog zur Konstruktion der Stirnwand 15.The bottom wall 41 is configured similarly, namely with trapezoidal longitudinal tabs and side tabs, analogous to the construction of the end wall 15.

Ein Zuschnitt für die Becher-Umhüllung 14 ist in Fig. 6 gezeigt. Dieser ist ähnlich aufgebaut wie der Zuschnitt für die Innenumhüllung 12. Es fehlten Faltlappen für eine Stirnwand, da die Becher-Umhüllung 14 in diesem Bereich offen ist. Auch ist eine Überlappung bei der Bildung der Schlauchfaltung nicht im Bereich von Vorder- oder Rückwand gegeben, sondern im Bereich einer Becher-Seitenwand.A blank for the cup wrapper 14 is shown in FIG. 6. This is constructed similarly to the blank for the inner covering 12. Folding flaps for an end wall were missing, since the cup covering 14 is open in this area. There is also an overlap in the formation of the hose fold not in the area of the front or rear wall, but in the area of a cup side wall.

Das in den Zeichnungen dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel der Verpackung ist mit einer Entnahmehilfe für die Zigaretten 10 versehen. Die Innenumhüllung 12 weist im Bereich der Vorderwand 18 einen Aushebestreifen 44 auf. Dieser ist Teil der Vorderwand 18 der Innenumhüllung 12 und durch Stanzungen 45 mit wenigen Restverbindungen 46 begrenzt. Der Aushebestreifen 44 erstreckt sich mit einer Griffzunge 47 bis in den Bereich des Längslappens 16 der Stirnwand 15. Unten ist der Aushebestreifen 44 mit einem Hebeschenkel 48 bis in den Bereich der Bodenwand 41 bzw. eines Längslappens der Bodenwand 41 geführt. Weiterhin erstreckt sich der Aushebestreifen 44 zwischen den beiden Leimstreifen 39, 40. Diese sind mit geringem Abstand zu beiden Seiten des Aushebestreifens 44 angeordnet, so daß dieser durch Leimstreifen 39, 40 stabilisiert bzw. fixiert ist.The embodiment of the packaging shown in the drawings is provided with a removal aid for the cigarettes 10. The inner casing 12 has a lifting strip 44 in the region of the front wall 18. This is part of the front wall 18 of the inner casing 12 and is delimited by punchings 45 with few remaining connections 46. The lifting strip 44 extends with a grip tongue 47 into the region of the longitudinal tab 16 of the end wall 15. Below, the lifting strip 44 is guided with a lifting leg 48 into the region of the bottom wall 41 or a longitudinal tab of the bottom wall 41. Furthermore, the Lifting strip 44 between the two glue strips 39, 40. These are arranged at a short distance on both sides of the lifting strip 44, so that it is stabilized or fixed by glue strips 39, 40.

Bei der Herstellung der Innenumhüllung 12 wird die Griffzunge 47 aus der Ebene des Längslappens 16 herausgefaltet, derart, daß die Griffzunge 47 nicht mit dem Längslappen 16 gegen die Vorderwand 18 gefaltet wird. Die Griffzunge 47 erstreckt sich in Schließstellung der Verpackung in der Ebene der Stirnwand 15. Durch Anheben des Längslappens 17 kommt die Griffzunge 47 frei und kann von Hand erfaßt werden. Durch Hochziehen werden zunächst die Restverbindungen 46 durchtrennt. Danach werden einige Zigaretten durch den hochgezogenen Hebeschenkel aus der Ebene der Bodenwand 41 angehoben und dadurch in eine Entnahmestellung gebracht (Fig. 4).When producing the inner covering 12, the grip tongue 47 is folded out of the plane of the longitudinal tab 16 in such a way that the grip tab 47 is not folded with the longitudinal tab 16 against the front wall 18. The grip tongue 47 extends in the closed position of the packaging in the plane of the end wall 15. By lifting the longitudinal tab 17, the grip tongue 47 is released and can be gripped by hand. The remaining connections 46 are first severed by pulling up. Then some cigarettes are lifted out of the plane of the bottom wall 41 by the raised lifting leg and thereby brought into a removal position (FIG. 4).
