Der Übergang zwischen den Schenkeln 38, 39 einerseits und dem Steg 37 andererseits ist als Rundung 40 ausgebildet, etwa entsprechend der Kontur der Zigaretten 33.For optimal coverage of cigarette group 32 and for a stable positioning of the cover blank 36 is this approximately U-shaped in cross section, namely with a Web 37 directly in the region of the side wall 21 and with transverse Legs 38, 39 in the area of front wall 18 and Rear wall 19. The transition between the legs 38, 39 on the one hand and the web 37, on the other hand, is designed as a curve 40, approximately according to the contour of the cigarettes 33.

    Der Abdeckzuschnitt 36 ist so ausgebildet bzw. positioniert, daß eine leichte Entnahme desselben bei geöffneter und noch gefüllter Packung 10 möglich ist. Bei Packungen 10 des vorliegenden Typs (Weichpackung bzw. Weichbecherpackung) wird im Bereich der Stirnwand 22 ein Teilbereich neben der Banderole 31 durch Abtrennen entfernt, so daß hier eine Entnahmeöffnung 41 gebildet ist. In diesem Bereich befindet sich der Abdeckzuschnitt 36, der mit einem Teilbereich aus der Entnahmeöffnung 41 herausragt, im vorliegenden Falle mit einer zungenförmigen Lasche 42. Diese ist als Verlängerung des Abdeckzuschnitts 36 ausgebildet und erstreckt sich bei geschlossener Packung 10 in der Ebene der Stirnwand 22, an den Endflächen der Zigaretten 33 anliegend.

Furthermore, be convenient Embossing lines 44, 45 in the longitudinal direction of the cover blank 36 attached. These facilitate folding over to form the Thighs 38, 39.

    Die Packung 10 kann mit einer herkömmlichen bzw. bekannten Verpackungsmaschine gefertigt werden, insbesondere mit einem sogenannten Weichpacker. Fig. 6 zeigt schematisch einen Teilbereich einer Verpackungsmaschine für die Fertigung von Weichbecherpackungen. Weitere Einzelheiten einer solchen Verpackungsmaschine ergeben sich aus DE 196 44 079.3.The package 10 can with a conventional or known packaging machine are manufactured, in particular with a so-called Soft packer. 6 schematically shows a partial area a packaging machine for the production of soft cup packs. Further details of such a packaging machine result from DE 196 44 079.3.

    Die Verpackungsmaschine weist einen Faltrevolver 46 auf. Dieser ist längs des Umfangs mit einer Vielzahl von Aufnahmen bzw. Halterungen für die Packungen 10 versehen, nämlich mit Faltdornen 47. Bei diesen handelt es sich um langgestreckte, dünnwandige Hohlkörper mit einem dem Querschnitt einer Packung 10 entsprechenden (rechteckigen) Querschnitt. Auf der Außenseite des Faltdorns wird der Packungszuschnitt 11 gefaltet. Die Zigarettengruppe 32 wird über die Innenseite des Faltdorns 47 zugeführt. Die weitgehend fertiggestellte Packung 10 wird zusammen mit der Zigarettengruppe 32 vom Faltdorn 47 ab- bzw. aus diesem ausgeschoben.The packaging machine has a folding turret 46. This is along the circumference with a variety of recordings or Provided holders for the packs 10, namely with folding mandrels 47. These are elongated, thin-walled Hollow body with a cross section corresponding to a pack 10 (rectangular) cross section. On the outside of the Packing mandrel, the package blank 11 is folded. The cigarette group 32 is fed via the inside of the folding mandrel 47. The largely completed pack 10 is put together with the cigarette group 32 from the folding mandrel 47 or out of this ejected.

    Der Faltrevolver 46 ist längs des Umfangs mit mehreren ortsfesten Bearbeitungsstationen versehen. Eine Zuschnittstation 48 dient zum Zuführen der Packungszuschnitte 11 zum Faltrevolver 46 und zum Anlegen der Packungszuschnitte 11 an jeweils zugeordnete Faltdorne 47. Die Zuschnittstation 48 ist nach Maßgabe von DE 196 44 079.3 ausgebildet. Der Packungszuschnitt 11 wird demnach an eine in Drehrichtung vornliegende (schmale) Querwand des Faltdorns 47 angelegt und bei weiterer Bewegung gefaltet.The folding turret 46 is fixed along the circumference with several Provide processing stations. A cutting station 48 serves to feed the pack blanks 11 to the folding turret 46 and for applying the pack blanks 11 to each assigned Folding mandrels 47. The cutting station 48 is made to measure trained by DE 196 44 079.3. The package blank 11 will therefore on a (narrow) transverse wall lying in the direction of rotation of the folding mandrel 47 and folded with further movement.

    In Bewegungs- bzw. Drehrichtung ist der Zuschnittstation 48 eine in gleicher bzw. ähnlicher Weise ausgebildete weitere Zuschnittstation 49 vorgeordnet. In deren Bereich werden die Abdeckzuschnitte 36 von einer Materialbahn 50 abgetrennt und über eine als Saugwalze ausgebildete Übergabewalze 51 einem stab- bzw. fingerförmigen Übertragungsorgan 52 übergeben. Dieses ist einseitig auskragend am Umfangsbereich einer drehend angetriebenen Tragscheibe 53 angeordnet. Das abstehende Übertragungsorgan 52 erfaßt den zugeführten Abdeckzuschnitt 36 an einer gewölbten Außenfläche 54, die den Abdeckzuschnitt 36 durch Saugbohrungen 55 fixiert. Der Abdeckzuschnitt 36 ist außermittig an dem Übertragungsorgan 52 fixiert, derart, daß ein überwiegender Bereich des Abdeckzuschnitts 36 in Drehrichtung rückseitig über das Übertragungsorgan 52 hinwegragt. Die Faltdorne 47 werden durch die Drehung des Faltrevolvers 46 an der ortsfesten Tragscheibe vorbeibewegt, während in einer abgestimmten Bewegung das Übertragungsorgan 52 entlang einer Kreisbahn durch die Bewegungsbahn der Faltdorne 47 hindurchbewegt wird. In einer Position gemäß Fig. 8, nämlich benachbart zur Rückseite eines vorbeilaufenden Faltdorns, wird die Tragscheibe 53 bzw. das Übertragungsorgan 52 kurzzeitig angehalten, und zwar in einer Stellung, in der sich der zugeführte Abdeckzuschnitt 36 mittig zum Faltdorn 47 befindet. In diesem Moment wird ein Andrückorgan 56 aus einer zurückgezogenen Position gegen den in Bewegungsrichtung davorliegenden Faltdorn 47 gedrückt. Der Abdeckzuschnitt 36 wird dadurch gegen die Rückseite des Faltdorns 47 gedrückt und zugleich - durch Entlüftung der Saugbohrungen 55 - vom Übertragungsorgan 52 gelöst. Der Abdeckzuschnitt 36 wird nun in der packungsgerechten Position an dem Faltdorn 47 anliegend der Zuschnittstation 48 zugeführt, in der der Packungszuschnitt 11 in an sich bekannter Weise um den Faltdorn 47 herumgelegt wird. Die Randstreifen 34, 35 erstrecken sich dabei an der Rückseite des Faltdorns 47, also im Bereich des Abdeckzuschnitts 36. Im weiteren Verlauf werden die Randstreifen 34, 35 durch Faltorgane im Bereich einer Faltstation 57 gegen die Rückseite des Faltdorns 47 bzw. gegen den Abdeckzuschnitt 36 gefaltet. Dieser wird nach Komplettierung der Packung 10 und Zuführung der Zigarettengruppe 32 gemeinsam mit der Packung 10 vom Faltdorn 47 abgeschoben.The cutting station 48 is in the direction of movement or rotation a further cutting station designed in the same or similar manner 49 upstream. In their area are the cover blanks 36 separated from a material web 50 and over a transfer roller 51 designed as a suction roller or finger-shaped transmission member 52. This is cantilevered on one side on the peripheral area of a rotating driven Carrying disc 53 arranged. The protruding transmission organ 52 detects the supplied cover blank 36 on a curved one Outer surface 54, the cover blank 36 through suction holes 55 fixed. The cover blank 36 is off-center fixed to the transmission member 52 such that a predominant Area of the cover blank 36 in the direction of rotation on the back the transmission element 52 protrudes. The folding mandrels 47 are by the rotation of the folding turret 46 on the stationary support disk moving past while in a coordinated motion the transmission member 52 along a circular path through the movement path the folding mandrels 47 are moved through. In one position 8, namely adjacent to the back of a Passing folding mandrel, the support plate 53 or Transmission organ 52 briefly stopped, in one Position in which the supplied cover blank 36 is centered to the folding mandrel 47. At this moment, a pressure element becomes 56 from a retracted position against that in the direction of movement folding mandrel 47 pressed in front of it. The cover blank 36 is thereby against the back of the folding mandrel 47 pressed and at the same time - by venting the suction holes 55 - detached from the transmission member 52. The cover blank 36 will now in the package-appropriate position against the folding mandrel 47 fed to the cutting station 48, in which the package blank 11 in a manner known per se around the folding mandrel 47 becomes. The edge strips 34, 35 extend here the back of the folding mandrel 47, that is in the area of the cover blank 36. In the further course, the edge strips 34, 35 by folding organs in the area of a folding station 57 against the Back of the folding mandrel 47 or against the cover blank 36 folded. After completing the pack 10 and Feeding of the cigarette group 32 together with the pack 10 pushed off by folding mandrel 47.

    Der Abdeckzuschnitt 36 kann eine weitere Funktion übernehmen, nämlich als Druckträger für Werbehinweise, als Coupon für die Teilnahme an Verlosungen bzw. Wettspielen etc. Des weiteren kann der Abdeckzuschnitt 36 auch auf andere Weise in der beschriebenen Position innerhalb der Packung 10 angebracht werden, zum Beispiel durch Positionieren innerhalb des Faltdorns 47. In diesem Falle werden die Zigarettengruppe 32 und der packungsgerecht positionierte Abdeckzuschnitt 36 gemeinsam aus dem Faltdorn 47 ausgeschoben.The cover blank 36 can take on a further function, namely as a print carrier for advertising information, as a coupon for the Participation in raffles or competitions etc. Furthermore the cover blank 36 can also be used in other ways in that described Position within the pack 10, for example by positioning within the folding mandrel 47. In this case, the cigarette group 32 and the cover blank 36 positioned in accordance with the pack the folding mandrel 47 pushed out.

    Gemäß einer weiteren Alternative kann der Abdeckzuschnitt einstückig mit dem Packungszuschnitt 11 verbunden sein.
