Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Klappschachtel für Zigaretten oder dergleichen, bestehend aus einem Schachtelteil, aus einem an einer Schachtel-Rückwand angelenkten Deckel und aus einem im Schachtelteil angeordneten Kragen mit Kragen-Vorderwand und Kragen-Seitenwänden, wobei aufrechte Packungskanten abgerundet sind unter Bildung von Rundkanten und wobei weiterhin der Deckel einerseits und der Schachtelteil andererseits korrespondierende Schließkanten im Bereich einer Schachtel-Vorderwand und Deckel-Vorderwand bzw. Schrägkanten im Bereich von Seitenwänden bilden.The invention relates to a folding box for cigarettes or the like, consisting of a box part, hinged to a box rear wall lid and arranged in the box part collar with collar front wall and collar side walls, upstanding edges are rounded edges to form edges and Furthermore, the lid on the one hand and the box part on the other hand form corresponding closing edges in the region of a box front wall and lid front wall or beveled edges in the region of side walls.

Klappschachteln mit gerundeten oder abgeschrägten aufrechten Packungskanten sind grundsätzlich bekannt aus EP 0 434 962 bzw. aus EP 0 204 933 A1. Des Weiteren sind Klappschachteln bekannt, bei denen im frontseitigen Bereich Schließkanten des Deckels einerseits und des Schachtelteils andererseits mit Abstand voneinander verlaufen unter Bildung eines offenen Spalts, in dessen Bereich die Kragen-Vorderwand bei geschlossener Klappschachtel sichtbar ist. Die beiden parallelen Schließkanten sind bei diesem Packungstyp parallel zueinander verlaufend (WO 96/09230).Folding boxes with rounded or bevelled upright packing edges are basically known from EP 0 434 962 or EP 0 204 933 A1. Furthermore, folding boxes are known in which in the front region closing edges of the lid on the one hand and the box part on the other hand with distance from each other to form an open gap, in the region of the collar front wall is visible with closed folding box. The two parallel closing edges are parallel to each other in this type of package (WO 96/09230).

Die Erfindung befasst sich mit der Schaffung einer marktgängigen, industriell herstellbaren Klappschachtel, die einerseits Rundkanten bzwr. Schrägkanten aufweist und andererseits mit einem schräg verlaufenden Spalt analog zu WO 96/09230 ausgebildet ist.The invention is concerned with the creation of a marketable, industrially produced folding box, on the one hand round edges bzw.r. Having skewed edges and on the other hand formed with an oblique gap analogous to WO 96/09230.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die erfindungsgemäße Packung mit Rundkanten durch folgende Merkmale gekennzeichnet:

  • a) die Schließkante der Deckel-Vorderwand und die Gegenschließkante der Schachtel-Vorderwand sind schräg zu den Packungskanten verlaufend,
  • b) die Schließkante und die Gegenschließkante sind mit einem Abstand von einander und parallel verlaufend, derart, dass ein freier Spalt bei geschlossener Klappschachtel im Bereich der Kragen-Vorderwand sichtbar ist,
  • c) der durch die Schließkanten gebildete Spalt erstreckt sich bis in den Bereich der Schachtel-Seitenwände bzw. Deckel-Seitenwände, nämlich über den vollen Bereich der runden Packungskanten,
  • d) die der Schachtel-Vorderwand zugeordnete Gegenschließkante ist im Bereich seitlicher den Schachtel-Seitenwänden zugekehrter Enden bogenförmig gestaltet, nämlich jeweils unter Bildung eines Kreisbogens,
  • e) die Kreisbogen der Gegenschließkante erstrecken sich über die volle Breite der abgerundeten Packungskanten und schließen an die jeweils zugeordnete Schrägkante an.
To solve this problem, the package according to the invention with round edges is characterized by the following features:
  • a) the closing edge of the lid front wall and the counter-closing edge of the box front wall are oblique to the packing edges,
  • b) the closing edge and the counter-closing edge are at a distance from each other and parallel, such that a free gap is visible in the closed collapsible box in the region of the collar front wall,
  • c) the gap formed by the closing edges extends into the area of the box side walls or lid side walls, namely over the full area of the round packing edges,
  • d) the counter-closing edge associated with the box front wall is arc-shaped in the area of lateral ends facing the box side walls, namely in each case forming a circular arc,
  • e) the circular arc of the counter-closing edge extending over the full width of the rounded packing edges and connect to the respective associated bevel edge.

Durch die besondere Gestaltung des Spalts an den End- bzw. Randbereichen andererseits und durch die Bemessung desselben, nämlich Führung des Spalts bis über den Bereich der Rundkanten hinaus, wird eine Klappschachtel des beschriebenen Typs geschaffen, die im Frontbereich keinerlei vorstehende Spitzen aufweist, sondern mit gerundeten Übergängen an die üblichen seitlichen Schließkanten bzw. Schrägkanten der Klappschachtel anschließt.Due to the special design of the gap at the end or edge regions on the other hand and by the dimensioning of the same, namely leadership of the gap beyond the range of the round edges, a folding box of the type described is created, which has no protruding tips in the front, but with rounded transitions to the usual lateral closing edges or oblique edges of the folding box connects.

Für eine Klappschachtel mit Schrägkanten ist hingegen eine Anordnung des Spalts unmittelbar zwischen den einander benachbarten Faltkanten unter Ausschluss der Schrägkanten selbst vorteilhaft.For a folding box with beveled edges, on the other hand, an arrangement of the gap directly between the folding edges adjoining each other, excluding the bevelled edges themselves, is advantageous.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich weiterhin auf die Gestaltung des Deckels hinsichtlich eines Deckel-Innenlappens unter Berücksichtigung der schräg verlaufenden Schließkanten.The invention further relates to the design of the lid with respect to a lid inner flap, taking into account the oblique closing edges.

Weitere Einzelheiten der Klappschachtel sowie der Zuschnitte zum Herstellen derartiger Klappschachteln werden nachfolgend anhand von in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert. Es zeigt:

Die in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Klappschachteln bestehen aus einem (unteren) Schachtelteil 10 und einem (oberen) Deckel 11. Der Schachtelteil 10 weist eine Schachtel-Vorderwand 12, eine gegenüberliegende Schachtel-Rückwand 13, Schachtel-Seitenwände 14 und 15 sowie eine Bodenwand 16 auf. Analog hierzu weist der Deckel 11 eine Deckel-Vorderwand 17, eine Deckel-Rückwand 18, Deckel-Seitenwände 19, 20 und eine obere Stirnwand 21 auf.The hinged boxes shown in the drawings consist of a (lower) box part 10 and a (top) lid 11. The box part 10 has a box front wall 12, an opposite box back wall 13, box side walls 14 and 15 and a bottom wall 16 , Similarly, the lid 11 has a lid front wall 17, a lid rear wall 18, lid side walls 19, 20 and an upper end wall 21.

Die Schachtel-Seitenwände 14, 15 und Deckel-Seitenwände 19, 20, bestehen aus innen- bzw. außenliegenden Schachtel-Seitenlappen 22, 23; 24, 25 und entsprechend ausgebildeten Deckel-Seitenlappen 26, 27; 28, 29. Ecklappen, nämlich Boden-Ecklappen 30 und Deckel-Ecklappen 31 sind gegen die Innenseite der Bodenwand 16 bzw. der Stirnwand 21 gefaltet und mit diesen durch Klebung verbunden.The box sidewalls 14, 15 and lid sidewalls 19, 20 consist of inner and outer box side flaps 22, 23, respectively; 24, 25 and correspondingly formed lid side tabs 26, 27; 28, 29. Corner lobes, namely bottom corner tabs 30 and lid corner tabs 31 are folded against the inside of the bottom wall 16 and the end wall 21 and connected thereto by gluing.

An der Innenseite der Deckel-Vorderwand 17 ist ein Deckel-Innenlappen 32 angeordnet ist. Dieser ist mit der Deckel-Vorderwand 17 einstückig verbunden über eine Faltkante, die zugleich eine untere Schließkante 33 des Deckels 11 gegenüber dem Schachtelteil 10 bildet, nämlich gegenüber der Schachtel-Vorderwand 12. Diese wiederum ist oben durch eine Schachtelkante bzw. Gegenschließkante 34 begrenzt.On the inside of the lid front wall 17, a lid inner tab 32 is arranged. This is integrally connected to the lid front wall 17 via a folding edge, which also forms a lower closing edge 33 of the lid 11 relative to the box part 10, namely the box front wall 12. This in turn is bounded above by a box edge or Gegenschließkante 34.

Zur Klappschachtel gehört weiterhin ein Kragen 35. Dieser besteht aus Kragen-Vorderwand 36 und Kragen-Seitenwänden 37, 38. Der Kragen 35 ist so im Schachtelteil 10 positioniert - und mit diesem durch Klebung verbunden -, daß ein Kragen-Oberteil 39 aus dem Schachtelteil herausragt. Dieser ist in Schließstellung der Klappschachtel vom Deckel 11 umschlossen.The collar 35 is so positioned in the box part 10 - and connected to this by gluing - that a collar top 39 from the box part protrudes. This is enclosed in the closed position of the folding box from the lid 11.

Im Bereich der Kragen-Vorderwand 36 ist eine nach oben offene Kragen-Ausnehmung 40 gebildet, die seitlich, nämlich benachbart zu den Kragen-Seitenwänden 37, 38, durch aufrechte Stege 41, 42 begrenzt ist.In the region of the collar front wall 36, an upwardly open collar recess 40 is formed, which laterally, namely adjacent to the collar side walls 37, 38 is bounded by upright webs 41, 42.

Eine Besonderheit der Klappschachtel besteht darin, daß die geradlinige Schließkante 33 als Begrenzung der Deckel-Vorderwand 17 schräg verläuft. Die Deckel-Vorderwand 17 erhält dadurch eine trapezförmige Gestalt.A special feature of the folding box is that the rectilinear closing edge 33 extends obliquely as a boundary of the lid front wall 17. The lid front wall 17 is replaced by a trapezoidal shape.

Entsprechend ist die parallel zur Schließkante 33 des Deckels 11 verlaufende Gegenschließkante 34 des Schachtelteils 10 ebenfalls schräg verlaufend. Die Anordnung ist so getroffen, daß zwischen der Schließkante 33 und der Gegenschließkante 34 ein Abstand gebildet ist, nämlich ein freier Spalt 43. In dessen Bereich ist bei geschlossener Klappschachtel der Kragen 35 sichtbar.Accordingly, the parallel closing edge 33 of the lid 11 extending counter-closing edge 34 of the box part 10 is also inclined. The arrangement is such that between the closing edge 33 and the counter-closing edge 34, a distance is formed, namely a free gap 43. In its area, the collar 35 is visible with closed folding box.

Die Klappschachtel gemäß Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 ist als Rundkanten-Packung ausgebildet. Aufrechte Packungskanten 44 im Bereich von Schachtelteil 10, Deckel 11 und Kragen 35 sind abgerundet. Die Rundung entspricht etwa den Abmessungen einer Zigarette. Bodenwand 16 und Stirnwand 21 haben eine den Rundungen der Packungskanten 44 angepaßte Kontur, sind nämlich im Bereich der Ecken mit Rundungen 45, 46 versehen.The folding box according to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 is designed as a round edge packing. Upright packing edges 44 in the range of box part 10, lid 11 and collar 35 are rounded. The rounding corresponds approximately to the dimensions of a cigarette. Bottom wall 16 and end wall 21 have a contour adapted to the curves of the packing edges 44, namely in the region of the corners with curves 45, 46 are provided.

Zur Bildung der runden Packungskanten 44 ist der Zuschnitt (Fig. 3) entsprechend vorbehandelt. Die zu rundenden Bereiche des Zuschnitts weisen Materialstreifen 47, 48 auf mit in Längsrichtung des Zuschnitts verlaufenden, parallelen Rillen, die durch Prägen in das Verpackungsmaterial (dünner Karton) eingeformt sind.To form the round packing edges 44, the blank (FIG. 3) is pretreated accordingly. The areas of the blank to be rounded have strips of material 47, 48 with parallel grooves extending in the longitudinal direction of the blank, which are formed by embossing into the packaging material (thin cardboard).

Der Deckel-Innenlappen 32 ist in der Grobkontur trapezförmig gestaltet. Eine Außenkante 49 ist dabei exakt quer zu Längsrändern des Zuschnitts (Fig. 3) gerichtet, mithin auch exakt quer zu den Materialstreifen 47, 48. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine verhältnismäßig lange Seitenkante 50 und gegenüberliegend eine verhältnismäßig kurze Seitenkante 51. Der Deckel-Innenlappen 32 erstreckt sich im Bereich der Seitenkante 50 annähernd über die volle Höhe der Deckel-Vorderwand 17. Bei der trapezförmigen Gestaltung der Deckel-Vorderwand 17 liegt diese längere Seitenkante 50 im Bereich der kürzeren Abmessung bzw. Höhe der Deckel-Vorderwand 17. Die Seitenkante 50 ist so angeordnet, daß sie bei gefaltetem Deckel-Innenlappen 32 (Fig. 2) annähernd parallel zu den Packungskanten 44 verläuft.The lid inner tab 32 is designed trapezoidal in the rough contour. An outer edge 49 is directed exactly transversely to the longitudinal edges of the blank (FIG. 3), and thus also exactly transversely to the material strips 47, 48. This results in a relatively long side edge 50 and opposite a relatively short side edge 51. The inner lid flap 32 extends in the region of the side edge 50 approximately over the full height of the lid front wall 17. In the trapezoidal design of the lid front wall 17 this longer side edge 50 is in the range of the shorter dimension or height of the lid front wall 17. The side edge 50 is arranged so that it runs approximately parallel to the pack edges 44 with folded lid inner tab 32 (FIG. 2).

Eine Schließhilfe, also ein Mittel zur Sicherung der Schließstellung der Klappschachtel (nach erstmaligem Öffnen) wird durch die Seitenkante 50 geschaffen. Ausschließlich diese Seitenkante 50 ist mit einer seitlich offenen Ausnehmung 52 versehen, die in Schließstellung des Deckels 11 eine formschlüssige Verbindung mit dem Kragen 35 bildet, und zwar mit dem zugeordneten Steg 42. Dieser tritt mit seinem oberen, dem freien Rand des Kragens 35 zugekehrten Bereich in eine Position zwischen Deckel-Innenlappen 32 und Deckel-Vorderwand 17, entsprechend der Schließhilfe gemäß EP 434 962. Die Ausnehmung 52 ist dabei so konturiert, daß zur freien Seite bzw. auf der der Stirnwand 21 zugekehrten Seite ein vorspringender Klemmlappen 53 entsteht. Dieser kann durch entsprechende Materialverformung leicht von der benachbarten Deckel-Vorderwand 17 abgehoben sein, so daß der Steg 42 des Kragens 35 in die Position zwischen Klemmlappen 53 und Deckel-Vorderwand 17 eingeschoben werden kann. Der Deckel-Innenlappen 32 ist im übrigen durch Klebung so mit der Deckel-Vorderwand 17 verbunden, daß der Bereich benachbart zur Seitenkante 50 für die Verankerung mit dem Kragen 35 frei ist.A closing aid, ie a means for securing the closed position of the folding box (after first opening) is created by the side edge 50. Only this side edge 50 is provided with a laterally open recess 52 which forms a positive connection with the collar 35 in the closed position of the lid, with the associated web 42. This occurs with its upper, the free edge of the collar 35 facing area in a position between the lid inner tabs 32 and lid front wall 17, corresponding to the closing aid according to EP 434 962. The recess 52 is contoured so that the free side or on the end wall 21 facing side, a projecting clamping tab 53 is formed. This can be easily lifted by appropriate material deformation of the adjacent lid front wall 17, so that the web 42 of the collar 35 can be inserted into the position between the clamping tabs 53 and lid front wall 17. Incidentally, the lid inner tab 32 is adhesively bonded to the lid front wall 17 such that the area adjacent to the side edge 50 is free to be anchored to the collar 35.

Eine Unterstützung für die Stabilisierung der Schließstellung des Deckels 11 wird durch die Gestaltung einer Scharnierlinie 54 geschaffen, durch die der Deckel 11 im Bereich von Deckel-Rückwand 18 und Schachtel-Rückwand 13 schwenkbar mit dem Schachtelteil 10 verbunden ist. Die Scharnierlinie 54 ist so gestaltet, daß verminderte, materialbedingte Rückstellkräfte in Schließstellung des Deckels 11 auf diesen wirken. Zu diesem Zweck ist die an sich als Faltlinie ausgebildete Scharnierlinie 54 mit Stanzabschnitten 55, 56 versehen. Ein kürzerer Stanzabschnitt 55 ist auf derjenigen Seite der Klappschachtel gebildet, auf der die beschriebene Verankerung des Deckel-Innenlappens 32 mit dem Kragen 35 wirksam ist. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Packung ist ein längerer Stanzabschnitt 56 gebildet.A support for the stabilization of the closed position of the lid 11 is provided by the design of a hinge line 54, through which the lid 11 in the region of the lid rear wall 18 and the box rear wall 13 is pivotally connected to the box part 10. The hinge line 54 is designed so that reduced, material-related restoring forces in the closed position of the lid 11 act on these. For this purpose, the hinge line formed in itself as a folding line 54 provided with punching sections 55, 56. A shorter punching section 55 is formed on the side of the folding box on which the described anchoring of the lid inner flap 32 with the collar 35 is effective. On the opposite side of the pack, a longer punching section 56 is formed.

Eine weitere Besonderheit betrifft die Gestaltung der Klappschachtel bzw. des Zuschnitts im Bereich der Schachtel-Vorderwand 12. Die GegenschlieBkante 34 als obere Begrenzung der Schachtel-Vorderwand 12 ist unter Bildung einer Ausnehmung 57 nach unten zurückgesetzt. Die Gegenschließkante 34 geht an den Enden, nämlich benachbart zu den Schachtel-Seitenwänden 14, 15, in einen Kreisbogen 58 bzw. 59 über. Die an gegenüberliegenden Seiten angeordneten Kreisbogen 58, 59 sind unterschiedlich bemessen, beispielsweise mit einem Radius von 5 mm für den kleinere Kreisbogen 58 und mit einem Radius von 14 mm für den größeren Kreisbogen 59.Another special feature concerns the design of the folding box or of the blank in the area of the box front wall 12. The counter-closing edge 34 as an upper boundary of the box front wall 12 is set back down to form a recess 57. The Gegenschließkante 34 goes at the ends, namely adjacent to the box side walls 14, 15, in a circular arc 58 and 59, respectively. Arranged on opposite sides circular arc 58, 59 are sized differently, for example with a radius of 5 mm for the smaller circular arc 58 and a radius of 14 mm for the larger circular arc 59th

Die durch die Gegenschließkante 34 einschließlich der Kreisbogen 58, 59 begrenzte Ausnehmung 57 erstreckt sich bis über den Bereich der Materialstreifen 47, 48 hinaus. Die Materialstreifen 47, 48 enden in voller Breite im Bereich der Ausnehmung 57. An die Kreisbogen 58, 59 schließt jeweils eine Schrägkante 60, 61 als Schließkante im Bereich der Schachtel-Seitenwände 14, 15 an. Die Packung ist dadurch nicht nur ansprechend gestaltet. Die Abmessung der Ausnehmung 57 gewährleistet eine kantenfreie Ausgestaltung der Rundkanten bzw. Packungskanten 44 in diesem Bereich.The limited by the Gegenschließkante 34 including the circular arc 58, 59 recess 57 extends beyond the region of the material strips 47, 48 addition. The strips of material 47, 48 terminate in full width in the region of the recess 57. A respective oblique edge 60, 61 adjoins the circular arcs 58, 59 as the closing edge in the region of the box side walls 14, 15. The package is designed by not only appealing. The dimension of the recess 57 ensures an edge-free configuration of the round edges or packing edges 44 in this area.

Das beschriebene Gestaltungs- und Konstruktionsprinzip für Klappschachteln ist auch anwendbar bei Ausführungen mit abgeschrägter Packungskante 44, also im Querschnitt achteckigen Klappschachteln. Ein Ausführungsbeispiel zeigen Fig. 4 bis Fig. 7. Die Packungskanten 44 werden durch Zuschnittstreifen 65, 66 gebildet, die durch zwei parallel laufende Faltkanten 67, 68 begrenzt sind. Die Zuschnittstreifen 65, 66 verlaufen schräg (45°) im Bereich zwischen diesen Faltkanten 67, 68, und zwar unter Anpassung an die Abmessungen der Zigaretten.The design and construction principle described for folding boxes is also applicable to versions with bevelled packing edge 44, so in cross-section octagonal hinged boxes. An embodiment example is shown in FIGS. 4 to 7. The packing edges 44 are formed by cut strips 65, 66, which are delimited by two parallel folding edges 67, 68. The cut strips 65, 66 are inclined (45 °) in the area between these fold edges 67, 68, while adapting to the dimensions of the cigarettes.

Unter Anpassung an diese Kontur sind Bodenwand 16 und Stirnwand 21 achteckig ausgebildet mit Schrägecken 62, 63 unter Anpassung an die Querschnittsform der Klappschachtel.Adapting to this contour, bottom wall 16 and end wall 21 are octagonal with bevelled corners 62, 63 adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the folding box.

Schachtelteil 10 und Deckel 11 sind im Bereich der Frontseite analog zu dem vorher beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel gestaltet, also mit einer schräg verlaufenden Schließkante 33 der Deckel-Vorderwand 17 und einer parallel hierzu verlaufenden Gegenschließkante 34 der Schachtel-Vorderwand 12. Schließkante 33 und Gegenschließkante 34 sind im Abstand voneinander angeordnet, so daß ein schräg verlaufender Spalt 43 entsteht. In dessen Bereich ist die Kragen-Vorderwand 36 auch bei geschlossener Klappschachtel erkennbar (Fig. 4).Box part 10 and lid 11 are designed in the region of the front side analogous to the previously described embodiment, ie with a sloping closing edge 33 of the lid front wall 17 and a parallel thereto Gegenschließkante 34 of the box front wall 12. closing edge 33 and Gegenschließkante 34 are in Spaced apart, so that an obliquely extending gap 43 is formed. In its area, the collar front wall 36 can be seen even when the folding box is closed (FIG. 4).

Eine weitere Besonderheit liegt in der Gestaltung im Bereich der frontseitigen Packungskanten 44. Schließkante 33 und Gegenschließkante 34 erstrecken sich lediglich im Bereich der Schachtel-Vorderwand 12 bzw. Deckel-Vorderwand 17, also bis zu den abgeschrägten Packungskanten 44. Beide Schließkanten 33, 34 enden mit geradliniger Kontur an den einander zugekehrten Faltkanten 68 der Zuschnittstreifen 65, 66. Ein aufrechter Kantenschenkel 69, 70 erstreckt sich im Anschluß an die Gegenschließkante 34 im Bereich der Faltkanten 68 in Aufwärtsrichtung bis zur Schrägkante 60, 61. Diese erstreckt sich demnach in gerader Linie im Bereich der (äußeren) Schachtel-Seitenlappen 24, 25. Der durch die Schließkanten 33, 34 begrenzte Spalt 43 erstreckt sich demnach schräggerichtet über die Breite der Schachtel-Vorderwand 12 und Deckel-Vorderwand 17.Another special feature is the design in the area of the front-side pack edges 44. The closing edge 33 and the counter-closing edge 34 extend only in the area of the box front wall 12 or lid front wall 17, ie up to the bevelled packing edges 44. Both closing edges 33, 34 end An upright edge leg 69, 70 extends in the region of the folded edges 68 in the upward direction up to the bevelled edge 60, 61 following the counter-closing edge 34. This therefore extends in a straight line in the region of the (outer) box side tabs 24, 25. The limited by the closing edges 33, 34 gap 43 thus extends obliquely over the width of the box front wall 12 and lid front wall 17th

Der Kragen 35 (Fig. 7) ist an die Gestaltung der Klappschachtel gemäß Fig. 4 bis Fig. 6 angepaßt. Die Kragen-Ausnehmung 40 ist im Bereich der Kragen-Vorderwand durch eine Kragenkante 71 begrenzt, die schräg verläuft, nämlich parallel zu den Schließkanten 33, 34. Die von der Kragenkante 71 begrenzte Kragen-Ausnehmung 40 ist trapezförmig ausgebildet. Entsprechend der Gestalt der Packungskanten 44 sind die Kragen-Seitenwände 37, 38 von der Kragen-Vorderwand 36 durch zwei parallele Faltlinien 72, 73 abgegrenzt, die jeweils eine abgeschrägte Kragenkante bilden. Ein unterer Kragenansatz 74 ist an die Kontur der Kragen-Ausnehmung 40 angepaßt, so daß die Zuschnitte des Kragens 35 abfallfrei gefertigt werden können.The collar 35 (FIG. 7) is adapted to the design of the folding box according to FIGS. 4 to 6. The collar recess 40 is limited in the region of the collar front wall by a collar edge 71 which extends obliquely, namely parallel to the closing edges 33, 34. The limited by the collar edge 71 collar recess 40 is trapezoidal. Corresponding to the shape of the packing edges 44, the collar side walls 37, 38 are delimited from the collar front wall 36 by two parallel fold lines 72, 73, each forming a bevelled collar edge. A lower collar extension 74 is adapted to the contour of the collar recess 40, so that the blanks of the collar 35 can be made without waste.
