Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Klappschachtel für Zigaretten mit einem Schachtelteil zur Aufnahme eines Zigarettenblocks, einem mit einer Rückwand des Schachtelteils schwenkbar verbundenen Deckel und einem mit dem Schachtelteil verbundenen Kragen aus Kragen-Vorderwand und Kragen-Seitenwänden.The invention relates to a folding box for cigarettes with a box part Recording of a cigarette block, one with a rear wall of the box part pivotally connected lid and a collar connected to the box part from collar front wall and collar side walls.

Bei Klappschachteln, die auch als Hinge-Lid-Packungen bezeichnet werden, handelt es sich um einen weitverbreiteten Verpackungstyp für Zigaretten. Die Klappschachtel besteht aus einem Schachtelteil und einem an einer Rückwand des Schachtelteils verschwenkbar angeordneten Deckel. Am Schachtelteil ist ein Kragen angeordnet. Der Kragen verfügt über eine Kragen-Vorderwand und Kragen-Seitenwände. Der Kragen ragt in einem oberen Abschnitt aus dem Schachtelteil heraus. Der freie Teil des Kragens wird in Schließstellung der Klappschachtel vom Deckel umschlossen. Der Kragen kann sowohl Teil eines einstückigen Zuschnitts zur Herstellung der Klappschachtel sein als auch aus einem getrennten Zuschnitt hergestellt werden. Der Packungsinhalt, nämlich eine Zigaretten-Gruppe, ist durch eine Innenumhüllung aus Stanniol oder dergleichen umgeben und bildet so einen Zigarettenblock.Hinged boxes, also known as hinge-lid packs, are trading is a widely used type of packaging for cigarettes. The folding box is there consisting of a box part and a pivotable on a rear wall of the box part arranged lid. A collar is arranged on the box part. The collar has via a collar front wall and collar side walls. The collar protrudes in one upper section out of the box part. The free part of the collar is in The closed position of the hinged box is enclosed by the lid. The collar can be both Be part of a one-piece blank for making the hinged box as well a separate blank. The package contents, namely one Cigarette group, is by an inner wrapping made of tin foil or the like surround and thus forms a cigarette block.

Aus der US 4,948,038 ist eine Klappschachtel für Zigaretten bekannt, die im Bereich der Vorderseite des Schachtelteils eine Ausnehmung aufweist. Bei geschlossenem Deckel greifen Teile des Deckelzuschnitts in die Ausnehmung an der Schachtel-Vorderseite ein, wodurch der Deckel in dieser Schließstellung gesichert wird. Auf diese Weise soll ein Luftaustausch zwischen dem Packungsinneren und der Außenluft verhindert werden, wodurch der Packungsinhalt frisch bleiben soll.From US 4,948,038 a folding box for cigarettes is known, which in the area of Front of the box part has a recess. With the lid closed parts of the blank cut into the recess on the front of the box, whereby the lid is secured in this closed position. This is supposed to Prevent air exchange between the inside of the pack and the outside air, which should keep the package contents fresh.

Die DE-U-19 96 454 offenbart eine Zigarettenpackung die im Bereich einer Schachtel-Vorderwand eine Ausnehmung, nämlich ein Fenster aufweist, das durchsichtig abgedeckt ist, nämlich mit einer Folie. Die Zigaretten sind in dieser Zigaretten packung auf dem Kopf stehend angeordnet, so dass der Konsument durch einen Blick durch das Fenster den Zigarettentyp erkennen kann.DE-U-19 96 454 discloses a cigarette pack in the area of a box front wall has a recess, namely a window, which is transparently covered with a film. The cigarettes are on the head in this pack of cigarettes arranged in a standing position so that the consumer can look through the window Can recognize the type of cigarette.

Die BE-A-739.729 zeigt eine Zigarettenpackung mit einem unbenutzten Packungsbereich der zur Aufnahme von Notizen dienen soll. Dieser Packungsbereich ist durch Perforationslinien abgegrenzt, so dass er von der Zigarettenpackung abgetrennt werden kann, wobei allerdings diese zerstört wird.BE-A-739.729 shows a cigarette pack with an unused pack area which should be used for taking notes. This pack area is through Perforation lines delimited so that it can be separated from the cigarette pack can, but this is destroyed.

B. die Vermittlung von zusätzlichen Informationen erfüllt werden können.The invention is based on the problem of a hinged box of the type mentioned Art to improve in that additional functions such. B. mediation can be filled with additional information.

Zur Lösung dieses Problems ist die erfindungsgemäße Klappschachtel durch folgende Merkmale gekennzeichnet:

  • a) im Bereich des Deckels, nämlich im Bereich einer Deckel-Vorderwand ist eine Ausnehmung angeordnet,
  • b) die Ausnehmung ist auf der zum Zigarettenblock weisenden Seite durch Bereiche des Deckels verschlossen, insbesondere durch einen Deckel-Innenlappen,
  • c) die Ausnehmung ist nach außen durch eine aus dem Deckel heraustrennbare Abdeckung verschlossen,
  • d) die Abdeckung ist vom Deckel im Bereich einer Grifflasche der Abdeckung durch einen durchgehenden Trennschnitt und im Übrigen durch eine Perforationslinie begrenzt.
    • To solve this problem, the hinged box according to the invention is characterized by the following features:
  • a) a recess is arranged in the area of the lid, namely in the area of a lid front wall,
  • b) the recess is closed on the side facing the cigarette block by areas of the lid, in particular by an inner tab of the lid,
  • c) the recess is closed to the outside by a cover that can be removed from the cover,
  • d) the cover is delimited by the cover in the area of a grip tab of the cover by a continuous separating cut and, moreover, by a perforation line.

    • Im Bereich der Ausnehmung können die Bereich des Deckels einen Aufdruck tragen. Alternativ oder in Ergänzung kann auch die Abdeckung auf nach außen weisenden Seite und/oder auf der zum Zigarettenblock weisenden Seite eine Bedruckung oder dergleichen aufweisen. Es kann sich hierbei um Werbeinformationen, einen Gutschein oder eine flächige, graphische Gestaltung handeln.In the area of the recess, the areas of the cover can bear an imprint. Alternatively or in addition, the cover can also be on the side facing outwards and / or a print or the like on the side facing the cigarette block exhibit. This can be advertising information, a voucher or act a flat, graphic design.

    Eine weitere erfindungsgemäße Klappschachtel weist zur Lösung des eingangs genannten Problems die Merkmale des Anspruchs 2 auf. Der Unterschied zur vorstehend beschriebenen Lösung besteht darin, dass die Ausnehmung nicht im Bereich des Deckels sondern im Bereich der Schachtel-Vorderwand angeordnet ist, nämlich unterhalb einer Schließkante des Schachtelteils, und auf der zum Zigarettenblock weisenden durch Bereiche eines verlängerten Kragens abgedeckt ist.Another hinged box according to the invention has to solve the entrance mentioned problem the features of claim 2. The difference to the above The solution described is that the recess is not in the area of the lid but is arranged in the area of the box front wall, namely below a closing edge of the box part, and on that to the cigarette block facing is covered by areas of an elongated collar.
