Abstract

A packaging for cigarettes and cigars or similar smoking products (6) consists of a box (1) with a hinged lid (4) and an inner wrapper (7), inserted into the box and enclosing a number of cigarettes, cigars or similar smoking products, the upper part (9) of the inner wrapper being able to be pulled off from the lower part (10) thereof. According to the invention, the lower region of the inner space of the box (1), remote from the hinged lid (4), is narrower in cross-section than the region of the box inner space located above it, in a manner such that surface pressure is exerted in this lower region between the smoking products (6) and the inner wrapper (7). Moreover, the upper part (9) of the inner wrapper, which can be pulled off, extends approximately to the upper edge of the cross-sectional constriction (5). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung für Zigaretten, Zigarillos oder dergleichen Tabakwaren aus einer Schachtel mit Boden, Seitenwänden und Klappdeckel und einer in die Schachtel eingesetzten, aufreißbaren, eine Anzahl von Zigaretten, Zigarillos oder dergleichen Tabakwaren umschließenden, feuchtigkeits- und aromaschützenden Innenhülle, in der die Tabakwaren mit ihrem einen Stirnende auf dem Schachtelboden stehend angeordnet sind.The invention relates to a packaging for cigarettes, cigarillos or the like tobacco products from a box with a bottom, side walls and hinged lid and a tearable insert, which encloses a number of cigarettes, cigarillos or the like, enclosing a number of cigarettes, cigarillos or similar tobacco products, in which the Tobacco products are arranged with their one forehead standing on the box bottom.

Derartige für Zigaretten heute übliche Verpackungen bestehen in der Regel aus einer geklebten Faltschachtel aus Karton, während die Innenhülle aus beschichtetem Papier oder aus Metallfolie oder einer Folie aus einem Aluminium-Papier-Verbund gebildet ist (DE-A-15 86 798, 25 03 421 und 38 06 818). Diese Innenhülle ist in der Regel im unteren Bereich der Verpackung an mehreren Stellen punktuell mit der Schachtel verklebt. In ihrem oberen Bereich ist sie häufig geschlitzt oder perforiert, so daß ihr oberer Teil, der sogenannte "Flap", nach dem öffnen der Schachtel abgerissen werden kann, um den Zugriff zu den Zigaretten zu ermöglichen. Die Verklebung der Innenhülle mit der Klappschachtel dient dabei dazu, daß ihr unterer Teil beim Abziehen des oberen Teils nicht mitsamt den Zigaretten aus der Schachtel herausgezogen wird.Such packaging for cigarettes nowadays generally consists of a glued cardboard folding box, while the inner casing is made of coated paper or metal foil or a foil made of an aluminum-paper composite (DE-A-15 86 798, 25 03 421 and 38 06 818). This inner sleeve is generally glued to the box at several points in the lower area of the packaging. In its upper area it is often slotted or perforated, so that its upper part, the so-called "flap", can be torn off after opening the box in order to allow access to the cigarettes. The gluing of the inner casing to the hinged box serves to ensure that its lower part is not pulled out of the box together with the cigarettes when the upper part is removed.

Da der in der Verpackung verbleibende untere Teil der Innenhülle bisher relativ groß bemessen ist und sich nur sehr schwer von der aus Karton bestehenden Schachtel trennen läßt, erweist sich die bekannte Verpackung für ein getrenntes Recycling ihrer unterschiedlichen Materialien als unbrauchbar.Since the lower part of the inner casing remaining in the packaging has so far been relatively large and can only be separated from the cardboard box with great difficulty, the known packaging has proven to be unusable for separate recycling of its different materials.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verpackung der eingangs genannten Gattung derart zu gestalten, daß bei ihrem Öffnen ein großer Teil der Innenhülle aus der Schachtel entfernt und getrennt von dieser einem Recyclingverfahren zugeführt werden kann, ohne daß dabei die Tabakwaren aus der Packung herausgezogen werden. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der dem Klappdeckel abgewandte, untere Bereich des Innenraums der Zigarettenschachtel gegenüber dessen oberen Bereich im Querschnitt derart verengt ist, daß sich in diesem unteren Bereich zwischen den Tabakwaren und der Innenhülle eine die Tabakwaren in der Schachtel festhaltende Flächenpressung ergibt, und daß der obere abziehbare Teil der Innenhülle sich bis etwa zum oberen Rand der Querschnittsverengung erstreckt. Da es genügt, daß sich der verengte, untere Bereich des Schachtelinnenraums vom Schachtelboden aus um nur höchstens einem Drittel der Schachtelhöhe nach oben zum Klappdeckel hin erstreckt, kann beim Abziehen des oberen Teils der Innenhülle deren größter Teil aus der Schachtel entfernt werden, so daß nur ein kleiner Teil der Innenhülle in der aus Karton bestehenden Schachtel verbleibt, der gemeinsam mit der Schachtel entsorgt werden kann.The invention is therefore based on the object of designing a packaging of the type mentioned in such a way that when it is opened, a large part of the inner casing can be removed from the box and fed to a recycling process separately from it, without the tobacco products being pulled out of the pack will. This object is achieved in that the lower region of the interior of the cigarette box facing away from the hinged lid is so narrowed in cross-section in relation to its upper region that there is a surface pressure which holds the tobacco products in the box in this lower region , and that the upper removable part of the inner shell extends up to about the upper edge of the cross-sectional constriction. Since it is sufficient for the narrowed, lower area of the interior of the box to extend from the bottom of the box by up to a third of the height of the box to the hinged lid, most of the inner casing can be removed from the box when pulling off, so that only a small part of the inner shell remains in the cardboard box, which can be disposed of together with the box.

Die Verengung des Schachtelinnenraums kann durch einen auf die Innenfläche der Schachtelseitenwände aufgesetzten Materialstreifen gebildet sein, der sich ringförmig um den Innenraum der Schachtel herum erstrecken kann. Die Verengung kann aber auch durch in mindestens eine der Schachtelseitenwände eingeprägte, in den Schachtelinnenraum hineinragende Rillen oder Rippen gebildet sein.The narrowing of the interior of the box can be formed by a strip of material placed on the inner surface of the side walls of the box, which strip surrounds the ring Interior of the box can extend around. The constriction can also be formed by grooves or ribs which are embossed into at least one of the side walls of the box and protrude into the interior of the box.

Der obere abziehbare Teil der Innenhülle kann mit dem unteren in der Schachtel verbleibenden Teil der Hülle über eine Perforationslinie verbunden sein, die ein leichtes Abreißen des oberen Hüllenteils vom unteren Hüllenteil ermöglicht. Die beiden Teile können aber auch nur durch loses Aneinanderliegen eine geschlossene Innenhülle bilden, so daß der obere Hüllenteil ohne Abreißen von dem unteren Hüllenteil abgezogen werden kann.The upper removable part of the inner casing can be connected to the lower part of the casing remaining in the box via a perforation line which enables the upper casing part to be easily torn off from the lower casing part. However, the two parts can also form a closed inner shell only by lying loosely against one another, so that the upper shell part can be pulled off the lower shell part without tearing off.

Es ist zwar bereits eine Zigarettenverpackung aus einer Schachtel mit Klappdeckel und einer in diese Schachtel eingesetzten, die Zigaretten umschließenden Innenhülle bekannt, bei der der die Tabakwaren aufnehmende Innenraum der Schachtel in seinem den Klappdeckel abgewandten, unteren Bereich durch einen eingesetzten Abstandskörper gegenüber dem darüber befindlichen Bereich des Schachtelinnenraums verengt ist (DE-38 19 874 A1). Dieser eingesetzte Abstandskörper dient dazu, den von den Zigaretten nicht beanspruchten Raum in der Schachtel auszufüllen. Er dient jedoch nicht dazu, zwischen den Tabakwaren und der Innenhülle eine die Tabakwaren in der Schachtel festklemmende Flächenpressung zu gewährleisten.A cigarette packaging is already known from a box with a hinged lid and an inner casing which surrounds the cigarettes and is inserted into this box, in which the interior of the box which holds the tobacco products in its lower area facing away from the hinged lid by means of an inserted spacer relative to the area above it the interior of the box is narrowed (DE-38 19 874 A1). This spacer is used to fill the space in the box that is not occupied by the cigarettes. However, it is not used to ensure that the tobacco products are clamped in the box between the tobacco products and the inner casing.

The drawing shows particularly advantageous exemplary embodiments of the packaging according to the invention, which are described in more detail below:
Fig. 1
shows this embodiment in an oblique view with the hinged lid folded up and closed inner shell,
Fig. 2
shows a section through the packaging according to line II in Fig. 1,
Fig. 3
shows a similar section through the packaging of another embodiment.

Bei den beiden in Fig. 1 bis 3 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen besteht die äußere Schachtel 1 der Verpackung aus einer geklebten Faltschachtel 1 aus Karton, die einen Schachtelboden 2 und mit diesem verbundene Seitenwände 3 sowie einen dem Schachtelboden 2 gegenüberliegenden Klappdeckel 4 hat. In dem unteren Bereich dieser Faltschachtel ist ein sich ringförmig um den Innenraum der Schachtel herum erstreckender Materialstreifen 5 eingesetzt, der an die Innenflächen der Schachtelseitenwände 3 angeklebt ist. Dieser Materialstreifen 5 verengt den unteren Bereich des Innenraums der Schachtel 1.In the two exemplary embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the outer box 1 of the packaging consists of a glued folding box 1 made of cardboard, which has a box bottom 2 and side walls 3 connected to it and a hinged lid 4 opposite the box bottom 2. In the lower region of this folding box, a material strip 5 is used, which extends in a ring around the interior of the box and is glued to the inner surfaces of the box side walls 3. This strip of material 5 narrows the lower region of the interior of the box 1.

In die Schachtel ist ein Bündel von Zigaretten eingesetzt, die mit ihrem einen Stirnende auf dem Schachtelboden stehen und von einer feuchtigskeits- und aromaschützenden Innenhülle 7 im wesentlichen luftdicht umgeben sind. Diese Innenhülle weist in ihrem unteren Bereich eine sich parallel zum Schachtelboden erstreckende Perforationslinie 8 auf, welche sie in einen oberen, größeren Teil 9 und einen unteren, kleineren Teil 10 unterteilt. Zum Freilegen des oberen Bereichs der Zigaretten 6 nach dem Öffnen der Schachtel 1 kann der obere Teil 9 der Innenhülle 7 von deren unterem Teil 10 entlang der Perforationslinie abgerissen und aus der Schachtel herausgezogen werden. Durch den in den unteren Bereich der Schachtel 1 eingesetzten Materialstreifen 5 wird zwischen den Zigaretten 6 und der Innenhülle 9 bzw. zwischen dieser und dem Materialstreifen 5 eine Flächenpressung erzielt, durch welche beim Abziehen des oberen Teils 9 der Innenhülle deren unterer Teil 10 zusammen mit den von diesen umgebenen Zigaretten 6 in der Schachtel 1 festgehalten wird. Das Festhalten des unteren Teils der Innenhülle kann auch durch Ankleben ihres unteren Teils am Materialstreifen 5 oder, wie bekannt, am Schachtelboden 2 sichergestellt werden.A bundle of cigarettes is inserted into the box, one end of which is standing on the bottom of the box and is surrounded by an inner envelope 7 which protects against moisture and aroma and is essentially airtight. In its lower region, this inner casing has a perforation line 8 which extends parallel to the box bottom and which divides it into an upper, larger part 9 and a lower, smaller part 10. To expose the upper area of the cigarettes 6 after opening the box 1, the upper part 9 of the inner casing 7 can be moved from its lower part 10 along the Tear off the perforation line and pull it out of the box. Due to the material strip 5 inserted into the lower region of the box 1, a surface pressure is achieved between the cigarettes 6 and the inner casing 9 or between the latter and the material strip 5, by means of which the lower part 10 together with the lower part 10 when the upper part 9 of the inner casing is removed of these surrounding cigarettes 6 is held in the box 1. The lower part of the inner casing can also be secured by gluing its lower part to the material strip 5 or, as is known, to the box bottom 2.

Bei dem in Fig. 3 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Querschnittsverengung des Innenraums des unteren Bereichs der Schachtel 1 durch in die Schachtelseitenwände 3 eingeprägte, gegen den Schachtelinnenraum vorragende Rippen oder Rillen 11 gebildet, so daß in diesem Fall das Einkleben eines Materialstreifens entfällt.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the narrowing of the cross-section of the interior of the lower region of the box 1 is formed by ribs or grooves 11, which are embossed into the box side walls 3 and protrude against the box interior, so that in this case there is no need to glue a strip of material.
