Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zigaretten-Klappschachtel gemäß dem Oberbegriff der Ansprüche 1 und 2.The invention relates to a cigarette box according to the preamble of claims 1 and 2.

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.Folding boxes, also known as hinge-lid packs, are a widely used type of cigarette packaging. The folding box consists of a box part and a lid pivotably arranged on a rear wall of the box part. At the box part a collar is arranged. The collar features a collar front wall and collar side panels. The collar protrudes in an upper portion of the box part. The free part of the collar is enclosed in the closed position of the folding box from the lid. The collar can be both part of a one-piece blank for the production of the folding box as well as made of a separate blank. The contents of the package, namely a group of cigarettes, is surrounded by an inner covering made of tinfoil or the like 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 the US 4,948,038 a folding box for cigarettes is known, which has a recess in the front of the box part. When the lid is closed, parts of the lid blank engage in the recess on the carton front side, whereby the lid is secured in this closed position. In this way, an air exchange between the inside of the package and the outside air is to be prevented, whereby the contents of the package should remain 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 Zigarettenpackung auf dem Kopf stehend angeordnet, so dass der Konsument durch einen Blick durch das Fenster den Zigarettentyp erkennen kann.The DE-U-19 96 454 discloses a cigarette packet which has in the region of a box front wall a recess, namely a window which is transparent covered, namely with a film. The cigarettes are arranged upside down in this cigarette pack, so that the consumer can see the type of cigarette by looking through the window.

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.The BE-A-739 729 shows a cigarette pack with an unused pack area to serve to take notes. This packing area is delimited by perforation lines, so that it can be separated from the cigarette pack, but this is destroyed.

Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zu Grunde, eine Klappschachtel der eingangs genannte Art dahingehend zu verbessern, dass zusätzliche Funktionen, wie z. B. die Vermittlung von zusätzlichen Informationen erfüllt werden können.The invention is based on the problem to improve a folding box of the type mentioned in that additional functions such. B. the placement of additional information can be met.

Zur Lösung dieses Problems weist eine erfindungsgemäße Klappschachtel die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 auf. Es ist demnach vorgesehen, dass:

  1. a) im Bereich des Deckels, nämlich im Bereich einer Deckel-Vorderwand eine Ausnehmung angeordnet ist,
  2. b) die Ausnehmung auf der zum Zigarettenblock weisenden Seite durch Bereiche des Deckels komplett verschlossen ist, nämlich durch einen Deckel-Innenlappen,
  3. c) in den Bereichen des Deckels zum Verschließen der Ausnehmung der Deckel-Innenlappen eine Bedruckung oder dergleichen aufweist,
  4. d) die Ausnehmung nach außen durch eine aus dem Deckel heraustrennbare Abdeckung verschlossen ist,
  5. e) die Abdeckung vom Deckel im Bereich einer Grifflasche der Abdeckung durch einen durchgehenden Trennschnitt und im Übrigen durch eine Perforationslinie begrenzt ist.
To solve this problem, a folding box according to the invention has the features of claim 1. It is therefore provided that:
  1. a) a recess is arranged in the region of the lid, namely in the region of a lid front wall,
  2. b) the recess on the side facing the cigarette block is completely closed by areas of the lid, namely by a lid inner flap,
  3. c) in the areas of the lid for closing the recess of the lid inner tabs has a printing or the like,
  4. d) the recess is closed to the outside by a detachable from the lid cover,
  5. e) the cover is delimited by the cover in the region of a grip tab of the cover by a continuous separating cut and otherwise by a perforation line.

Im Bereich der Ausnehmung tragen die Bereiche des Deckels einen Aufdruck. 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 lid carry a print. Alternatively or in addition, the cover on outwardly facing side and / or on the side facing the cigarette block a printing or the like exhibit. This can be advertising information, a voucher or 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 folding box according to the invention has the features of claim 2 to solve the above-mentioned problem. The difference to the solution described above is that the recess is not arranged in the region of the lid but in the region of the box front wall, namely below a closing edge of the box part, and is covered on the pointing to the cigarette block by areas of an elongated collar.

Die Boden-Ecklappen 39, 40 sind mit den angrenzenden, innenliegenden Seitenlappen 19, 20 verbunden, die Deckel-Ecklappen 41, 42 mit den innenliegenden Deckel-Seitenlappen 30, 31.Of importance for the folding boxes 10, 11 are still Ecklappen. These are bottom corner tabs 39, 40 on the one hand and lid corner tabs 41, 42 on the other. The bottom corner tabs 39, 40 are connected to the adjacent, inner side tabs 19, 20, the lid corner tabs 41, 42 with the inner lid side tabs 30, 31st

Zu den Klappschachteln 10, 11 bzw. Zuschnitten 23, 24 gehören weiterhin jeweils ein Deckel-Innenlappen 43, der sich an die Deckel-Vorderwand 25 anschließt. Bei fertiggefalteter Klappschachtel 10, 11 ist der Deckel-Innenlappen 43 gegen eine Innenseite der Deckel-Vorderwand 25 umgefaltet.In addition to the folding boxes 10, 11 or blanks 23, 24 each include a lid inner tab 43, which adjoins the lid front wall 25. When the folding box 10, 11 is folded, the lid inner flap 43 is folded over against an inside of the lid front wall 25.

Die von den Klappschachteln 10, 11 aufgenommenen Zigaretten 44 zeigt Fig. 6. Der aus den Zigaretten 44 gebildete Zigarettenblock 45 ist in Fig. 1 und 2 durch Strichpunkt-Linien angedeutet.The cigarette 44 accommodated by the folding boxes 10, 11 is shown in FIG. 6. The cigarette block 45 formed from the cigarettes 44 is indicated in FIGS. 1 and 2 by dash-dot lines.

Die Besonderheit der Klappschachtel 10 gemäß Fig. 1 besteht darin, daß dieselbe einerseits im Bereich einer Wandung des Schachtelteils 11, nämlich der Vorderwand 14, und andererseits im Bereich einer Wandung des Deckels 13, nämlich der Deckel-Vorderwand 25, Ausnehmungen 46, 47 aufweist. Die Ausnehmungen 46, 47 der Klappschachtel 10 sind aus Vorderwand 14 sowie Dekkel-Vorderwand 25 herausgestanzt. Durchgehende Stanzlinien 48, 49 grenzen demnach die Ausnehmungen 46, 47 von Vorderwand 14 und Deckel-Vorderwand 25 ab.The peculiarity of the folding box 10 according to FIG. 1 is that the same on the one hand in the region of a wall of the box part 11, namely the front wall 14, and on the other hand in the region of a wall of the lid 13, namely the lid front wall 25, recesses 46, 47 has , The recesses 46, 47 of the folding box 10 are punched out of front wall 14 and cover front wall 25. Continuous punching lines 48, 49 accordingly delimit the recesses 46, 47 of the front wall 14 and lid front wall 25.

Die Ausnehmungen 46, 47 der Klappschachtel 10 gemäß Fig. 1 sind nach außen hin offen und auf der zum Zigarettenblock 45 weisenden Seite verschlossen. In dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Ausnehmung 46 im Bereich der Vorderwand 14 auf der zum Zigarettenblock 45 weisenden Seite durch einen Bereich des Kragens 35, nämlich der Kragen-Vorderwand 36, verschlossen. Die Ausnehmung 47 im Bereich der Deckel-Vorderwand 25 hingegen ist durch einen Bereich des Deckels 13, nämlich des Deckel-Innenlappens 43, auf der zum Zigarettenblock 45 weisenden Seite verschlossen.The recesses 46, 47 of the folding box 10 according to FIG. 1 are open towards the outside and closed on the side facing the cigarette block 45. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the recess 46 in the region of the front wall 14 on the side facing the cigarette block 45 is closed by a region of the collar 35, namely the collar front wall 36. The recess 47 in the region of the lid front wall 25, however, is closed by a region of the lid 13, namely the lid inner tab 43, on the cigarette block 45 facing side.

In den Bereichen 50 bzw. 51, in denen Kragen-Vorderwand 36 bzw. Deckel-Innenlappen 43 die Ausnehmungen 46 bzw. 47 überlappen, dienen Kragen-Vorderwand 36 bzw. Deckel-Innenlappen 43 als Träger für einen Aufdruck. Die Bereiche 50, 51 von Kragen-Vorderwand 36 sowie Deckel-Innenlappen 43 sind in Fig. 3, 5 durch Strichpunkt-Linien begrenzt. Der Aufdruck in den Bereichen 50, 51 von Kragen-Vorderwand 36 sowie Deckel-Innenlappen 43 ist zum Beispiel ein Gutschein aus Wort- und/oder Bildbestandteilen. Es kann sich hierbei um einen Gutschein, Berechtigungsschein zur Teilnahme an Wettbewerben, Ausschreibungen oder dergleichen handeln. Der Kragen 35 bzw. die Kragen-Vorderwand 36 müssen hierzu auf ihrer Vorderseite bedruckt werden. Der Deckel-Innenlappen 43 hingegen ist auf seiner Rückseite zu bedrucken. Dies folgt aus dem Umstand, daß bei fertiggefalteten Klappschachteln der Deckel-Innenlappen durch Umfalten an der Deckel-Vorderwand 25 zur Anlage kommt.In the regions 50 and 51, respectively, in which the collar front wall 36 and the inner lid flap 43 overlap the recesses 46 and 47, collar front wall 36 and inner lid flaps 43 serve as a carrier for an imprint. The areas 50, 51 of the collar front wall 36 and the lid inner tabs 43 are delimited in FIG. 3, 5 by dash-dot lines. The imprint in the areas 50, 51 of collar front wall 36 and lid inner tabs 43 is for example a voucher of word and / or picture components. This can be a voucher, a certificate of entitlement to participate in competitions, tenders or the like. The collar 35 or the collar front wall 36 must be printed on its front side for this purpose. The lid inner flap 43, however, is to be printed on its back. This follows from the fact that in unfolded folding boxes the lid inner flap comes to rest by folding on the lid front wall 25.

Beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Ausnehmung 46 im Bereich der Vorderwand 14 des Schachtelteils 12 verhältnismäßig großflächig ausgebildet. Als Folge verfügt der Kragen 35 demnach über eine größere Höhe als bei herkömmlichen Klappschachteln. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Kragen 35, nämlich dessen Kragen-Vorderwand 36, annähernd bis in den Bereich der Bodenwand 18 verlängert. Darüber hinaus erstreckt sich der Deckel-Innenlappen 43 über die volle Höhe der Deckel-Vorderwand 36.In the embodiment shown, the recess 46 is formed in the region of the front wall 14 of the box part 12 relatively large area. As a result, the collar 35 accordingly has a greater height than conventional folding boxes. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the collar 35, namely its collar front wall 36, extends approximately into the area of the bottom wall 18. In addition, the lid inner tab 43 extends over the full height of the lid front wall 36.

Die Klappschachtel 11 gemäß Fig. 2 verfügt ebenfalls über Ausnehmungen im Bereich des Schachtelteils 12 sowie Deckels 13. Eine erste Ausnehmung 52 ist der Vorderwand 14 des Schachtelteils 12 zugeordnet, eine zweite Ausnehmung 53 der Deckel-Vorderwand 25 des Deckels 13. Im Unterschied zur Klappschachtel 10 gemäß Fig. 1 sind die Ausnehmungen 52, 53 der Klappschachtel 11 jedoch nach außen verschlossen. Hierzu dient jeweils eine aus der Vorderwand 14 bzw. aus der Deckel-Vorderwand 25 heraustrennbare Abdeckung 54, 55. Die Abdeckungen 54 bzw. 55 sind Teil der Vorderwand 14 bzw. Deckel-Vorderwand 25. Über eine durch durchgehende Trennschnitte 56, 57 begrenzte Grifflaschen 58, 59 können die Abdeckungen 54, 55 vom Verbraucher erfaßt und herausgetrennt werden. Hierzu sind die Abdeckungen 54, 55 von Vorderwand 14 einerseits und Deckel-Vorderwand 25 andererseits im übrigen durch Perforationslinien 60, 61 begrenzt. Die Ausnehmungen 52, 53 im Bereich des Schachtelteils 12 bzw. Deckels 13 werden demnach erst durch Heraustrennen der Abdeckungen 54, 55 freigegeben.The folding box 11 according to FIG. 2 likewise has recesses in the area of the box part 12 and cover 13. A first recess 52 is assigned to the front wall 14 of the box part 12, a second recess 53 to the cover front wall 25 of the lid 13. In contrast to the folding box 10, however, the recesses 52, 53 of the folding box 11 are closed to the outside. The covers 54 and 55 are part of the front wall 14 and lid front wall 25 via a bounded by continuous separating cuts 56, 57 Grip tabs 58, 59, the covers 54, 55 can be detected and separated by the consumer. For this purpose, the covers 54, 55 of the front wall 14 on the one hand and the lid front wall 25 on the other hand limited by perforation lines 60, 61. The recesses 52, 53 in the region of the box part 12 or lid 13 are accordingly released only by separating out the covers 54, 55.

Die Ausnehmungen 52, 53 der Klappschachtel 11 sind ebenso wie die Ausnehmungen 46, 47 der Klappschachtel 10 auf der zum Zigarettenblock 45 weisenden Seite verschlossen. Hierzu dient der Bereich 50 der Kragen-Vorderwand 36 einerseits sowie der Bereich 51 des Deckel-Innenlappens 43 andererseits. Hinsichtlich der diesbezüglichen Details kann auf die obigen Ausführungen verwiesen werden.The recesses 52, 53 of the folding box 11 are closed as well as the recesses 46, 47 of the folding box 10 on the cigarette block 45 facing side. For this purpose, the area 50 of the collar front wall 36 on the one hand and the area 51 of the lid inner flap 43 on the other hand serves. With regard to the relevant details, reference may be made to the above statements.

Die Abdeckungen 54, 55 der Klappschachtel 11 können sowohl auf ihrer Vorderseite als auch auf ihrer Rückseite als Träger für einen zusätzlichen Aufdruck dienen. So kann zum Beispiel auf der zum Zigarettenblock 45 weisenden Seite der Abdeckungen 54, 55 ein Gutschein oder eine Losnummer aufgedruckt sein. Erst nach dem Heraustrennen der Abdeckung 54, 55 durch den Konsumenten wird für diesen der Aufdruck sichtbar.The covers 54, 55 of the folding box 11 can serve as a carrier for an additional imprint both on its front side and on its rear side. Thus, for example, on the cigarette block 45 facing side of the covers 54, 55 a coupon or a lot number be printed. Only after the removal of the cover 54, 55 by the consumer is the print visible for this.

In Abweichung zu den in der Zeichnung gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen ist es weiterhin möglich, zusätzliche Ausnehmungen im Bereich der Seitenwände 16, 17 der Klappschachtel 10, 11 anzuordnen. In diesem Fall sind diese Ausnehmungen den äußeren Seitenlappen 21, 22 bzw. Deckel-Seitenlappen 32, 33 zugeordnet. Die inneren Seitenlappen 19, 20 bzw. inneren Deckel-Seitenlappen 30, 31 dienen in diesem Fall dem Verschließen der Ausnehmungen auf der zum Zigarettenblock 45 weisenden Seite und als Träger für einen Aufdruck.In contrast to the embodiments shown in the drawing, it is also possible to arrange additional recesses in the region of the side walls 16, 17 of the folding box 10, 11. In this case, these recesses are associated with the outer side tabs 21, 22 and lid side tabs 32, 33, respectively. The inner side tabs 19, 20 and inner lid side tabs 30, 31 serve in this case to close the recesses on the cigarette block 45 facing side and as a carrier for a print.

Die Zuschnitte 23, 24 zur Herstellung der Klappschachteln 10, 11 zeigen Fig. 3, 4. Die Zuschnitte 23, 24 verfügen über eine insgesamt langgestreckte Gestalt. Die Wandungen des Schachtelteils 12 und des Deckels 10 der Klappschachteln 10, 11 sind wie bei einem Zuschnitt für eine herkömmliche Klappschachtel aufeinanderfolgend ausgebildet.

Zu beiden Seiten der Vorderwand 14 und Rückwand 15 bzw. Deckel-Rückwand 26 sowie Deckel-Vorderwand 25 sind die Seitenlappen 19..22 bzw. Deckel-Seitenlappen 30..33 zur Bildung der Seitenwände 16, 17 bzw. Deckel-Seitenwände 27, 28 angeordnet. Die Boden-Ecklappen 39, 40 bzw. Deckel-Ecklappen 41, 42 schließen sich zu beiden Seiten der Bodenwand 18 bzw. Deckel-Oberwand 29 an.The blanks 23, 24 for producing the folding boxes 10, 11 are shown in FIG. 3, 4. The blanks 23, 24 have an overall elongate shape. The walls of the box part 12 and the lid 10 of the folding boxes 10, 11 are formed successively as in a blank for a conventional folding box. Accordingly, in the longitudinal direction of the blanks 23, 24, the front wall 14, bottom wall 18, rear wall 15, lid rear wall 26, top wall 29 and top front wall 25 are arranged successively and defined by folding lines.
