    Die Zeichnungen befassen sich mit Klappschachteln für Zigaretten. Der Grundaufbau dieses Packungstyps besteht aus einem (unteren) Schachtelteil 10 und einem (oberen) Deckel 11. Diese Packungsteile sind schwenkbar miteinander verbunden. Weiterhin ist hier ein Kragen 12 Teil der Verpackung. Innerhalb derselben ist eine Gruppe von Zigaretten verpackt, die von einem Innenzuschnitt aus Papier oder Stanniol umgeben ist und so einen den Innenraum der Verpackung ausfüllenden Zigaretten-Block 13 bildet.The drawings deal with folding boxes for cigarettes. The basic structure of this pack type consists of a (lower) box part 10 and an (upper) lid 11. This Pack parts are pivotally connected to each other. Farther here is a collar 12 part of the packaging. Within a group of cigarettes packed by is surrounded by an inner blank of paper or tinfoil and such as a cigarette block filling the interior of the packaging 13 forms.

    Die im wesentlichen quaderförmige Klappschachtel besteht aus einer Schachtel-Vorderwand 14, einer gegenüberliegenden Schachtel-Rückwand 15, Deckel-Vorderwand 16 und Deckel-Rückwand 17, schmalen, aufrechten Seitenwänden, nämlich Schachtel-Seitenwänden 18, 19 und Deckel-Seitenwänden 20, 21. Zum Schachtelteil 10 gehört eine Bodenwand 22 und - gegenüberliegend - zum Deckel 11 eine Stirnwand 23. Schachtelteil 10 und Deckel 11 sind durch eine quergerichtete Gelenklinie 37 zwischen Schachtel-Rückwand 15 und Deckel-Rückwand 17 schwenkbar miteinander verbunden.The essentially cuboid hinged box consists of a box front wall 14, an opposite one Box rear wall 15, lid front wall 16 and lid rear wall 17, narrow, upright side walls, namely box side walls 18, 19 and lid side walls 20, 21. Zum Box part 10 includes a bottom wall 22 and - opposite - To the lid 11 an end wall 23 box part 10 and Cover 11 are between by a transverse hinge line 37 Box rear wall 15 and lid rear wall 17 pivotable connected with each other.

    Der Zuschnitt für eine derartige Klappschachtel ist so aufgebaut, daß die vorgenannten Wandbereiche durch längs- und quergerichtete Faltlinien voneinander abgegrenzt sind (Fig. 3 bzw. Fig. 9). Die Schachtel-Seitenwände 18, 19 werden durch Seitenlappen 24 und 25 gebildet, die einander überdecken und durch Klebung oder dergleichen miteinander verbunden sind. Üblicherweise liegen die mit der Schachtel-Rückwand 15 verbundenen Seitenlappen 24 innen und die mit der Schachtel-Vorderwand 14 verbundenen Seitenlappen 25 außen.The blank for such a hinged box is constructed in such a way that the aforementioned wall areas by longitudinal and transverse fold lines are delimited from one another (FIG. 3 or Fig. 9). The box side walls 18, 19 are through Side tabs 24 and 25 are formed which overlap and are connected to each other by gluing or the like. Usually, those connected to the box rear wall 15 are located Side tabs 24 inside and with the box front wall 14 connected side tabs 25 outside.

    Analog hierzu bestehen die Deckel-Seitenwände 20, 21 aus Deckel-Seitenlappen 26 und 27. Üblicherweise außenliegende Deckel-Seitenlappen 26 sind mit der Deckel-Vorderwand 16 und innenliegende Deckel-Seitenlappen 27 mit der Deckel-Rückwand 17 verbunden.Analogously, the cover side walls 20, 21 consist of Lid side tabs 26 and 27. Usually external Lid side tabs 26 are with the lid front wall 16 and internal lid side tabs 27 with the lid rear wall 17 connected.

    Von Bedeutung sind weiterhin Ecklappen. Es handelt sich dabei einerseits um Deckel-Ecklappen 28 und andererseits um Boden-Ecklappen 29. Diese Faltlappen sind mit angrenzenden Seitenlappen verbunden, nämlich die Deckel-Ecklappen 28 mit den innenliegenden Deckel-Seitenlappen 27 und die Boden-Ecklappen 29 mit den innenliegenden Seitenlappen 24. Corner flaps are still important. These are on the one hand to cover corner flaps 28 and on the other hand to floor corner flaps 29. These folding tabs are with adjacent side tabs connected, namely the lid corner flaps 28 with the inside Lid side tabs 27 and the bottom corner tabs 29 with the inner side tabs 24.

    Weiterhin gehört zum Zuschnitt ein Deckel-Innenlappen 60 bzw. 66, der am freien Rand der Deckel-Vorderwand 16 angebracht und gegen dessen Innenseite umgefaltet ist.Furthermore, an inner lid flap 60 or 66, which is attached to the free edge of the lid front wall 16 and is folded against the inside.

    Die Besonderheit der Klappschachtel besteht darin, daß aufrechte Längskanten der Klappschachtel, nämlich zwei Vorderkanten 30 und 31 einerseits und gegenüberliegende Rückkanten 32, 33 andererseits unterschiedlich gestaltet sind. Die Rückkanten 32, 33, die sich über die volle Höhe der Klappschachtel erstrecken, sind im Querschnitt rechtwinklig ausgebildet.The peculiarity of the hinged box is that it is upright Long edges of the hinged box, namely two leading edges 30 and 31 on the one hand and opposite rear edges 32, 33, on the other hand, are designed differently. The back edges 32, 33 that extend over the full height of the hinged box extend, are rectangular in cross section.

    Abweichend gestaltet sind die Vorderkanten 30, 31. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 bis 6 sind diese abgeschrägt, während bei dem Beispiel gemäß Fig. 7 bis Fig. 11 abgerundete, also im Querschnitt teilkreisförmige Vorderkanten 30, 31 gebildet sind. Auch diese besonders gestalteten Vorderkanten 30, 31 erstrecken sich über die volle Höhe der Klappschachtel.The front edges 30, 31 are designed differently. In the exemplary embodiment 1 to 6, these are bevelled, whereas in the example according to FIGS. 7 to 11 rounded, that is to say in cross-section partially circular front edges 30, 31 are formed. These specially designed front edges too 30, 31 extend over the full height of the hinged box.

    Bei dem erstgenannten Ausführungsbeispiel ergibt sich aufgrund der Packungsgestaltung ein sechseckiger Querschnitt mit zwei zusätzlichen Schrägkanten 34, 35 und einem dazwischen angeordneten Materialstreifen 36. Der Materialstreifen 36 ist vorzugsweise unter einem Winkel von 45 gerichtet. Die Breite ist auf den Durchmesser der Zigaretten abgestimmt, so daß hier die Verpackung an die Kontur der Zigarettengruppe angepaßt ist. Die Ausgestaltung der Vorderkanten 30, 31 gilt auch für den Kragen 12.In the first-mentioned exemplary embodiment, this results from the package design with a hexagonal cross section two additional bevelled edges 34, 35 and one in between arranged material strip 36. The material strip 36 is preferably directed at an angle of 45. The width is matched to the diameter of the cigarettes, so that here the packaging is adapted to the contour of the cigarette group is. The design of the front edges 30, 31 also applies for the collar 12.

    Die Gestaltung der Klappschachtel ergibt sich durch einen besonderen Zuschnitt (Fig. 3, Fig. 5; Fig. 9, Fig. 10). Im Bereich der Schachtel-Vorderwand 14 und der Deckel-Vorderwand 16 sind die zugeordneten Seitenlappen 25 bzw. Deckel-Seitenlappen 26 von den genannten Zuschnittbereichen durch zwei parallele Faltlinien für die Bildung der Schrägkanten 34, 35 abgegrenzt (Fig. 3, Fig. 5). Die Schachtel-Rückwand 15 und die Deckel-Rückwand 17 sind gegenüber den angrenzenden Seitenlappen 24 bzw. Deckel-Seitenlappen 27 durch Längsfaltlinien 38, 39 abgegrenzt. Diese erstreckt sich - in Längsrichtung des Zuschnitts gesehen - in einer Ebene zwischen den Faltlinien für die Schrägkanten 34, 35. Dadurch haben Schachtel-Rückwand 15 und Deckel-Rückwand 17 eine etwas größere Breite als Schachtel-Vorderwand und Deckel-Vorderwand.The design of the hinged box results from a special one Cutting (Fig. 3, Fig. 5; Fig. 9, Fig. 10). In the area the box front wall 14 and the lid front wall 16 are the associated side tabs 25 or lid side tabs 26 of the above-mentioned cutting areas by two parallel ones Fold lines for the formation of the bevelled edges 34, 35 delimited (Fig. 3, Fig. 5). The box back wall 15 and the lid rear wall 17 are opposite the adjacent side tabs 24 or lid side tabs 27 by longitudinal fold lines 38, 39 delimited. This extends - in the longitudinal direction the cut - in a plane between the Fold lines for the bevelled edges 34, 35. This has the back of the box 15 and lid rear wall 17 a slightly larger Width as box front wall and lid front wall.

    Die Breite der Seitenlappen 24..27 ist besonders ausgewählt, ist nämlich deutlich geringer als die Gesamtbreite bzw. Tiefe der Klappschachtel. Durch diese geometrischen Proportionen ist gewährleistet, daß die Seitenlappen 24, 25 sowie Deckel-Seitenlappen 26, 27 einander nur außerhalb des Bereichs der Vorderkanten 30, 31 überdecken. Die äußeren Seitenlappen 25 und Deckel-Seitenlappen 26 erstrecken sich an der Rückseite der Klappschachtel bis etwa zur Rückkante 32, 33. Die inneren Seitenlappen 24 bzw. Deckel-Seitenlappen 27 enden vor der zugekehrten Schrägkante 34 (Fig. 2).The width of the side tabs 24..27 is particularly selected, is namely significantly less than the overall width or depth the hinged box. Because of these geometric proportions it is ensured that the side tabs 24, 25 and lid side tabs 26, 27 each other only outside the area of Cover leading edges 30, 31. The outer side tabs 25 and lid side tabs 26 extend at the rear the hinged box to about the rear edge 32, 33. The inner Side tabs 24 and lid side tabs 27 end before the facing Oblique edge 34 (Fig. 2).

    Eine weitere Besonderheit betrifft die Positionierung und Ausgestaltung der Ecklappen 28, 29. In Querrichtung des länglichen Zuschnitts (Fig. 4, Fig. 9) ragen die Deckel-Ecklappen 28 und Boden-Ecklappen 29 über die Kontur des Zuschnitts hinweg. Dadurch ergibt sich in dieser Richtung eine Abmessung der Ecklappen 28, 29, die der Breite bzw. Tiefe des Innenraums der Klappschachtel entspricht. Die Deckel-Ecklappen 28 sind mit den benachbarten Deckel-Seitenlappen 27 verbunden, jedoch gegenüber der ebenfalls benachbarten Stirnwand 23 lückenfrei lediglich durch einen Stanzschnitt 40 abgeteilt. Gleichermaßen sind die Boden-Ecklappen 29 mit den angrenzenden inneren Seitenlappen 24 verbunden, jedoch gegenüber der benachbarten Bodenwand 22 entsprechend durch einen Stanzschnitt 41 abgetrennt.Another specialty concerns positioning and Design of the corner flaps 28, 29. In the transverse direction of the elongated Blank (Fig. 4, Fig. 9) protrude the lid corner flaps 28 and floor corner flaps 29 across the contour of the blank. This results in a dimension in this direction the corner flaps 28, 29, the width or depth of the interior corresponds to the hinged box. The lid corner flaps 28 are connected to the adjacent lid side tabs 27, however opposite the also adjacent end wall 23 partitioned gap-free only by a die cut 40. Similarly, the bottom corner flaps 29 are adjacent inner side tab 24 connected, but opposite the adjacent bottom wall 22 accordingly by a punch cut 41 separated.

    Eine dem Deckel-Seitenlappen 27 bzw. dem Seitenlappen 24 zugekehrte, außenliegende Ecke der Ecklappen 28, 29 ist als Schrägecke 42 ausgebildet. Diese stößt bei der fertigen Klappschachtel jeweils passend gegen den Materialstreifen 36 im Bereich des Deckels 11 bzw. des Schachtelteils 10.A facing the lid side tab 27 or the side tab 24, outer corner of the corner flaps 28, 29 is as Inclined corner 42 is formed. This bumps into the finished one Hinged box fits against the material strip 36 in the area of the lid 11 or the box part 10.

    Die Position der so ausgebildeten Ecklappen 28, 29 ergibt sich hinsichtlich des Deckel-Ecklappens 28 insbesondere aus Fig. 2. Der Deckel-Ecklappen 28 sitzt passend in einem seitlichen Bereich des Deckels 11 unter Anlage einer Außenkante 64 an der Deckel-Vorderwand 16 und einer Stanzkante 67 an der Deckel-Rückwand 17. Seitlich ist eine Faltkante 43 gebildet aufgrund der Verbindung mit dem Deckel-Seitenlappen 27.The position of the corner flaps 28, 29 thus formed results in particular with respect to the lid corner flap 28 Fig. 2. The lid corner flap 28 fits in a side Area of the lid 11 with an outer edge 64 on the lid front wall 16 and a punched edge 67 on the Lid rear wall 17. A folding edge 43 is formed on the side due to the connection with the lid side tab 27.

    Der Bereich der Bodenwand 22 ist analog zur Stirnwand 23 ausgebildet. Die Boden-Ecklappen 29 sind entlang der Faltkante 43 in eine Stellung quer zum Seitenlappen 24 gefaltet und liegen passend, formschlüssig auf den Endbereichen der Bodenwand 22 auf. Eine Außenkante 64 des Boden-Ecklappens 29 liegt dabei an der Schachtel-Vorderwand 14 an. Eine Querkante 65 erstreckt sich über die volle Breite der Bodenwand 22. Gegenüber zur Außenkante 64 liegt eine Stanzkante 67 des Boden-Ecklappens 29 an der Schachtel-Rückwand 15 an. Durch diese Gestaltung der Ecklappen 28 und 29 erhält die Klappschachtel eine zusätzliche Queraussteifung im Bereich der Bodenwand 22 und Stirnwand 23.The area of the bottom wall 22 is formed analogously to the end wall 23. The bottom corner flaps 29 are along the folded edge 43 folded into a position transverse to the side tab 24 and lie in a fitting, form-fitting manner on the end areas of the floor wall 22 on. An outer edge 64 of the bottom corner flap 29 lies doing so on the box front wall 14. A transverse edge 65 extends across the full width of the bottom wall 22. Opposite there is a punched edge 67 of the bottom corner flap to the outer edge 64 29 on the back of the box 15. Through this The hinged box receives the design of the corner flaps 28 and 29 an additional transverse bracing in the area of the bottom wall 22 and end wall 23.

    Zwischen den Ecklappen 28, 29 einerseits und den jeweils äußeren Seitenlappen 25 bzw. Deckel-Seitenlappen 26 ist ein Stanzausschnitt 44, 45 gebildet. In diesem Bereich liegt die Stirnwand 23 bzw. die Bodenwand 22 frei unter Bildung einer Abschrägung 46, 47. Stirnwand 23 und Bodenwand 22 erhalten dadurch eine der Querschnittsform der Klappschachtel entsprechende Kontur. Die freiliegenden Abschrägungen 46, 47 stoßen passend gegen aufrechte Wände der Klappschachtel, nämlich gegen die Materialstreifen 36 im Bereich des Deckels 11 und des Schachtelteils 10.Between the corner flaps 28, 29 on the one hand and each outer side tab 25 or lid side tab 26 is a Stamped cutout 44, 45 formed. This is the area End wall 23 or the bottom wall 22 freely to form a Bevel 46, 47. End wall 23 and bottom wall 22 obtained thereby one corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the hinged box Contour. The exposed bevels 46, 47 butt suitable against upright walls of the hinged box, namely against the material strips 36 in the area of the lid 11 and Box part 10.

    Der Kragen 12 (Fig. 4) ist an die Gestalt der Verpackung angepaßt. Eine Kragen-Vorderwand 48 ist von angrenzenden Kragen-Seitenlappen 49, 50 durch zwei parallele Faltlinien 51, 52 getrennt. Diese können durch Prägung markiert sein oder - wie in Fig. 4 - durch Stanzschnitte. Zwischen den Faltlinien 51, 52 ist ein Materialstreifen 53 gebildet, analog zu dem Materialstreifen 36.The collar 12 (Fig. 4) is adapted to the shape of the packaging. A collar front wall 48 is from adjacent collar side tabs 49, 50 through two parallel fold lines 51, 52 separated. These can be marked by embossing or - As in Fig. 4 - by die cuts. Between the fold lines 51, 52 a material strip 53 is formed, similar to the material strip 36.

    Der so ausgebildete Kragen 12 sitzt in der üblichen Weise im oberen Bereich des Schachtelteils 10 unter Verbindung mit der Innenseite der Schachtel-Vorderwand 14 und der Schachtel-Seitenwände 18, 19. Ein oberer Teilbereich des Kragens 12 ragt aus dem Schachtelteil 10 heraus. Der Kragen 12 ist, passend zur Gestaltung der Klappschachtel, ebenfalls mit abgeschrägten Kanten zwischen Kragen-Vorderwand 48 und Kragen-Seitenlappen 49, 50 versehen. Die Kragen-Seitenlappen 49, 50 erstrecken sich dabei bis zur Schachtel-Rückwand 17 (Fig. 2).The collar 12 thus formed sits in the usual manner upper area of the box part 10 in connection with the Inside of box front wall 14 and box side walls 18, 19. An upper part of the collar 12 protrudes out of the box part 10. The collar 12 is suitable for the design of the hinged box, also with bevelled Edges between collar front wall 48 and collar side tabs 49, 50 provided.
