Definitions

  • the invention relates to a folding box made of thin cardboard for cigarettes and other packaging goods, with a box part made of box front wall, box rear wall, box side walls and bottom wall and a lid made of front lid wall, lid rear wall, lid side walls and end wall, whereby the lid in the area of the lid rear wall is pivotally connected to the box rear wall via a transverse hinge line.
  • the invention relates to a blank for the production of hinged boxes with the above features.
  • Hinged boxes are used worldwide as a type of parking for cigarettes.
  • the standard structure of a hinged box or hinge-lid pack looks like that box part and lid in the Area of the box rear wall and lid rear wall are hingedly connected to one another by a transverse hinge line.
  • a collar protruding from this is arranged in the box part and extends in the region of the box front wall and the box side walls. The area of the collar protruding from the box part is encompassed in the closed position by the cover front wall and cover side walls.
  • the invention has for its object to propose a hinged box with improved properties and lower material and manufacturing costs.
  • the hinged box according to the invention is characterized in that the hinge line is displaced downwards into a deeper area of the box rear wall by the formation of folds in the area of the lid rear wall and / or the box rear wall and that the lid with the lid front wall and the lid side walls cover a facing upper area of the box front wall and box side walls on the outside.
  • the inventive design of the hinged box makes it possible to dispense with the use of a collar.
  • the required overlap of the lid in the closed position is ensured by the fact that the lid front wall and lid side walls overlap the box front wall and the box side walls in their upper edge areas with a lower part or edge area. This ensures an effective closed position. Opening the hinged box is made easier, since the lid rests on the corresponding walls of the box part in the area of the lid front wall and lid side tabs and can thus be better grasped.
  • the hinged box is made entirely from a one-piece blank, in which punch cuts are to be made as an additional measure in the area of the box rear wall and / or the lid rear wall in order to expose the folding areas, in particular for a Z-fold.
  • the hinged box designed according to the invention can be surrounded by an outer covering made of cellophane or polyfoil.
  • the folding box is also particularly suitable for recently offered cigarette packs without an outer wrapper.
  • the exemplary embodiments of folding boxes shown in the drawings consist of a box part 10 and a lid 11.
  • the box part 10 forms a box front wall 12, opposite a box rear wall 13, narrow, upright box side walls 14, 15 and a bottom wall 16.
  • the cover 11 is designed analogously. It consists of a lid front wall 17, an opposite lid rear wall 18, lid side walls 19, 20 in extension of the box side walls 14, 15 (when the hinged box is closed) and an end wall 21 opposite the bottom wall 16.
  • the box side walls 14, 15 consist of box side tabs 22, 23 which overlap and are connected to one another by adhesive.
  • the lid side walls 19, 20 are formed from lid side tabs 24, 25 bonded to one another.
  • Box part 10 and lid 11 are pivotally connected to one another in the area of box rear wall 13 and lid rear wall 18 via a transverse joint or a hinge line 26 formed by embossing the material.
  • the hinge line 26 extends over the full width of the box rear wall 13 and lid rear wall 18.
  • the dimensions of the box part 10 and lid 11 are selected such that the contents of the pack, namely a cigarette group surrounded by an inner wrapper - cigarette block 27 - Sits in the box part 10 and protrudes from it with an upper end region. This is enclosed by the lid 11 in the closed position of the hinged box.
  • the lid 11 is arranged and dimensioned such that in the closed position of the hinged box an upper end region of the box part 10 is covered by the lid 11, namely by the lid front wall 12, lid rear wall 13 and lid side walls 14, 15.
  • the proportions are chosen so that the lid can be opened and closed without constraint.
  • the lid 11 is set lower in relation to conventional hinged boxes, so that closing edges of the box part 10 and lid 11 do not collide in the closed position, as is customary.
  • the hinge line 26 is offset downwards, ie in the direction of the bottom wall 16. This relative position is made possible by a fold in the rear area of the hinged box.
  • the present exemplary embodiment is a Z-shaped fold, that is to say a Z-fold 28. This is formed in the region of the box rear wall 13 and lid rear wall 18.
  • the hinge line 26 is offset downwards by a folding leg 29, as a result of which the relative position of the entire cover 11 is changed accordingly.
  • the folding leg 29 is therefore bounded at the bottom by hinge line 26 and at the top by a folding edge 30. In this area, the folding leg 29 adjoins the rear wall 13 of the box.
  • the folding leg 29 is permanently connected to the back wall 13 of the box, in particular by adhesive 43. When the lid 11 is opened and closed, the folding leg 29 remains in firm contact with the back wall 13 of the box.
  • the box part 10 is designed so that the upright walls have a greater height than usual.
  • the box rear wall 13 extends almost to the upper end of the cigarette block 27.
  • Upper closing edges namely a transverse box front edge 31 and box side edges 32 which rise obliquely to the box rear wall 13, run at a small distance from the upper boundary of the cigarette -Blocks 27.
  • the walls of the lid 11 are somewhat larger or wider than in conventional hinged boxes, so that they can encompass the upper region of the box part 10.
  • a lid front edge 33 runs parallel to the box front edge 31 in the closed position, but offset downwards.
  • Lid side edges 34 also run obliquely, in the closed position parallel to the box side edges 32.
  • a blank 35 for such a hinged box is formed in one piece and, as shown in FIG. 3 and in FIG. 6, can be made from a continuous material web by means of corresponding cross-cutting cuts.
  • the blank 35 is an elongated structure in which the box front wall 12, bottom wall 16, box rear wall 13, lid rear wall 18, end wall 21 and box front wall 17 are successively delimited from one another by transverse folding lines.
  • a material strip 39 is formed between the box rear wall 13 and the lid rear wall 18, which corresponds to the folding leg 29 of the Z-fold 28.
  • the material strip 39 is laterally delimited by separating cuts, namely by separating legs 37. These run in the region of longitudinal fold lines 38 which delimit the box rear wall 13 from adjoining box side tabs 22.
  • An oblique dividing line to form the box side edges 32 on the one hand and the lid side edges 34 on the other hand is formed here as a continuous punching line of the separating leg 37.
  • Folding lines 44 and 45 running in the longitudinal direction of the blank 35 in the region of the cover 11 are arranged offset to the outside to the corresponding folding lines 38.
  • the folding lines 44, 45 serve to limit the front side wall 17 and the rear wall 18 of the lid.
  • the punching lines 46, 47 extending the folding lines 44, 45 delimit the end wall 21.
  • Folding lines 44, 45 and punching lines 46, 47 are at a greater distance from one another than the folding lines 38 from one another.
  • the walls of the lid 11 are formed with a greater width than the corresponding walls of the box part 10. The lid 11 can thereby freely encompass the box part 10 on all sides in the upper region when the hinged box is closed (FIGS. 2 and 5).
  • the lid front wall 17 is designed in one layer. 5 to 6, the lid front wall 17 has a reinforcement on its inside, namely a lid inner tab 40. This is integrally connected to the lid front wall 17 and folded against the inside and fixed there by gluing.
  • the inner lid flap 40 is part of the one-piece blank 35, namely part of the box front wall 12 of an adjacent blank.
  • the box front wall 12 thus has a recess 41 in the central region, which facilitates the removal of the cigarettes from the hinged box.
  • the lid front wall 17 is pulled deeper in this exemplary embodiment. This is achieved in that the box side edges 32 on the one hand and the lid side edges 34 on the other hand do not run parallel, but diverge in the direction of the front of the box. This results in a greater construction height of the front cover wall 17 and correspondingly a greater overlap.
  • the box side edge 32 has an inclination of 15 ° and the lid side edge 34 of 30 °.
  • the blank 35 can also be produced from a continuous material web (FIG. 6).
  • punchings for delimiting the blank 35 at the ends in the region of lid side tabs 24 on the one hand and box side tabs 23 on the other hand run at an acute angle to one another.
  • a triangular stamped piece 42 is formed when the blanks are separated from the material web.
