Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cuboid-shaped pack of preferably thin Cardboard, in particular a folding box for cigarettes, consisting of a box part and lid, wherein the box part formed from a one-piece blank a box front, a box back, and two upright Has box side walls and a bottom wall and being in the area at least one of the box side walls a holder for a foreign object, in particular for a lighter, is arranged, the holder has a cuff encompassing the foreign object. Furthermore concerns the invention blanks for the manufacture of hinged boxes.
  • Hinged lid packs are a widespread worldwide Pack type for cigarettes. There is an interest among consumers, foreign objects to assign the pack or hinged box, in particular items that are used when smoking, so priority a lighter, matches or the like. Such folding boxes are known for example from US 5,368,155.
  • the invention has for its object, cuboid packs of the beginning mentioned type in such a way that a foreign object, in particular a lighter that can be functionally assigned to the pack without the conventional manufacture of packs of this type is difficult.
  • the pack or hinged box according to the invention characterized in that the comprehensive foreign object Cuff is part of the blank, the cuff being two parts, namely there is tabs, on the one hand with the blank and on the other hand in Area of an overlap are interconnected.
  • the at least arranged on the hinged box according to the invention Bracket partly consisting of the cut of the pack is the cross-sectional shape of the mostly oval lighter customized.
  • the Bracket or cuff in a folded position applied to the side of the box.
  • the Cigarette pack can be unfolded and a lighter be introduced into this.
  • An embodiment in which the elements are particularly advantageous are designed and arranged for the holder so that blanks for the folding box waste-free from a material web or another material benefit can be separated.
  • the tabs on the cuff or at least one of these tabs is partly from the area of an (inner) side flap of an adjacent blank.
  • a lower support intended for the foreign object, in particular one Support bracket in the level of the floor wall.
  • the support tab is also part of the cut for the hinged box, namely Part of a floor corner flap.
  • the box part 11 also consists of a back wall of the box 14 opposite box front wall 16, each other opposite, upright, relatively narrow Box side walls 17, 18 and a bottom wall 19.

  • the lid 12 is formed analogously to the box part 11, and in a known manner. Furthermore usually belongs to a collapsible box, a collar, not shown there may be a separate cut.
  • the present package or hinged box is for the addition or holding a foreign object.
  • a lighter 27 In the present Trap is a lighter 27.

  • This consists of a sleeve 28, i.e. a strip of material, the lighter 27 approximately halfway up surrounds positively.
  • the bracket lower support which in this case as a support tab 29 in the level of the bottom wall 19 is formed.
  • the cuff 28 is part of the blank 10 for the hinged box, thus connected in one piece with this blank 10.
  • the cuff 28 consists of two tabs 30, 31 with end areas overlap each other and arise in the area of a Overlap 32, for example by gluing them together are connected.
  • the tabs 30, 31 for forming the sleeve 28 are the same formed and each have two parallel fold lines 33, 34 on. These extend in the area of side panels the cuff 28.
  • the position of the Cuff 28 (Fig. 1) ensure the fold lines 33, 34 a positive adjustment to the cross-sectional shape of the lighter 27 by polygonal folding of the cuff 28 in this Area.
  • a starting position namely before use the pack or in the event that a lighter 27 or any other item not attached to the package the holder or sleeve 28 can be folded together are placed against the box side wall 18 (Fig. 2, Fig. 3).
  • Strips of material delimited by fold lines 33, 34 are folded inwards in an M-shape.
  • An outer Transverse wall 35 corresponds approximately to the width of the box side wall 18, so that the cuff 28 bears without protrusion.
  • the cuff 28 or its tabs 30, 31 are part of the inner and outer box side tabs 20, 22.
