Abstract

To prevent the transfer of glue onto the contents of the packet a cover tab is located between the glued-together folding flaps on one side and the contents of the packet on the other side. The cover tab is located in the region of the bottom side(18) of the packet on its inner side. The cover tab is part of the blank, especially an enlarged bottom corner tab(21), which forms the tab on the bottom inner side and is preferably complementary to an opposite lying corner tab(22).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Packung für Tabakerzeugnisse, insbesondere Zigaretten, aus einem einzigen den Packungsinhalt umgebenden Zuschnitt aus faltbarem Verpackungsmaterial, wie Papier, Karton oder dergleichen, wobei Faltlappen des Zuschnitts, nämlich Boden-Faltlappen zur Bildung einer Bodenwand, einander teilweise überdecken und durch Leim miteinander verbunden sind.The invention relates to a pack for tobacco products, in particular cigarettes, from a single blank of foldable material surrounding the contents of the package Packaging material, such as paper, cardboard or the like, with folding flaps the blank, namely bottom folding tabs to form a bottom wall, each other partially covered and connected by glue.

Zigarettenpackungen des Typs Weichpackung werden bisher überwiegend als Weichbecherpackung ausgeführt, also mit einem gesonderten Innenzuschnitt aus Papier oder Stanniol und einem äußeren, oben offenen Becher. Die Zigaretten sind dabei durch die Innenumhüllung vollständig umgeben. Deren Faltlappen im Bereich von Stirnwand und Bodenwand liegen ohne Leimverbindung an den Enden der Zigaretten an (US 5 762 186).Cigarette packs of the type soft pack are so far predominantly as Soft container pack running, so with a separate inner blank Paper or tinfoil and an outer cup open at the top. The cigarettes are completely surrounded by the Innenumhüllung. Their folding flaps in the The area of the front wall and the bottom wall are without glue at the ends of cigarettes (US 5,762,186).

Bekannt ist aber auch eine Weichpackung für Zigaretten, die aus einem einzigen, unmittelbar an den Zigaretten anliegenden Zuschnitt besteht (US 4 508 218). Bei diesem Zuschnitt sind bodenseitige Faltlappen durch Leim miteinander verbunden. Dadurch besteht die Gefahr, dass Leim aus dem Bereich dieser Boden-Faltlappen an die freien Enden der Zigaretten gelangt. But also a soft pack for cigarettes, which consists of a single, US 4 508 218) is applied directly to the cigarette fitting blank. at This blank bottom flaps are connected by glue together. As a result, there is a risk that glue from the area of these floor flaps reaches the free ends of the cigarettes.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Packungen der eingangs beschriebenen Art dahingehend weiterzuentwickeln, dass der Packungsinhalt, insbesondere die Zigaretten, gegen Übertragung von Leim geschützt sind.The invention is based on the object packages of the initially described Art to further develop that the package content, in particular the cigarettes are protected against transmission of glue.

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

  • a) zwischen den durch Leim miteinander verbundenen Faltlappen der Bodenwand einerseits und dem Packungsinhalt andererseits ist ein Abdecklappen angeordnet zum Schutz gegen Übertragung von Leim auf den Packungsinhalt,
  • b) ein vergrößerter Boden-Ecklappen des Zuschnitts bildet als innenseitiger Teil der Bodenwand den Abdecklappen, vorzugsweise in Ergänzung zu dem gegenüberliegenden Boden-Ecklappen.
    • To solve this problem, the package according to the invention is characterized by the following features:
  • a) between the glue-connected folding flaps of the bottom wall on the one hand and the package contents on the other hand, a cover flap is arranged to protect against transmission of glue to the package contents,
  • b) an enlarged bottom corner tabs of the blank forms the inner side part of the bottom wall of the cover tabs, preferably in addition to the opposite bottom corner tabs.

    • Der Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass die Beleimung von Faltlappen der Packung, insbesondere die Beleimung von Boden-Faltlappen einer Bodenwand, die Gefahr in sich birgt, dass Leimpartikel auf den Packungsinhalt übertragen werden, insbesondere auf Endbereiche der zur Bodenwand der Packung benachbarten Zigaretten gegen Leimübertragung.The invention is based on the finding that the gluing of folding flaps the packing, in particular the gluing of bottom folding flaps of a bottom wall, there is a risk that glue particles are transferred to the contents of the package be, in particular to end portions of the adjacent to the bottom wall of the pack Cigarettes against glue transfer.

    Zweckmäßigerweise ist der Abdecklappen im Bereich der Bodenwand Teil des Zuschnitts, also mit diesem verbunden, und zwar als Verlängerung bzw. Ergänzung eines üblicherweise innenseitig positionierten Boden-Ecklappens. Dieser ist eine Fortsetzung einer der schmalen, aufrechten Seitenwände der Packung.The cover flap in the region of the bottom wall is expediently part of the blank, So connected with this, as an extension or supplement a usually inside positioned floor corner flap. This one is one Continuation of one of the narrow, upright sidewalls of the pack.

    Die in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Einzelheiten betreffen Weiterentwicklungen und Verbesserungen an (Zigaretten-)Packungen insbesondere in der Ausführung gemäß US 4 508 218 und US 5 762 186.The details shown in the drawings relate to further developments and Improvements to (cigarette) packages, in particular in the execution according to US 4,508,218 and US 5,762,186.

    Die in Fig. 1 perspektivisch dargestellte (Zigaretten-)Packung des Typs Weichbecher in modifizierter Ausführung besteht aus einem einzigen, einstückigen Zuschnitt (Fig. 7, Fig. 8). Der rechteckige Zuschnitt umgibt den Packungsinhalt (eine Gruppe von Zigaretten) derart, dass Vorderwand 10, Rückwand 11 und Seitenwände 12, 13 entstehen. Die Seitenwand 13 ist aus zwei randseitigen Seitenlappen 14, 15 gebildet, die einander teilweise überdecken, wobei der breitere Seitenlappen außen liegt und nahezu die Breite der Seitenwand 13 überdeckt. Die Seitenlappen 14, 15 sind durch Klebung miteinander verbunden, bei dem vorliegenden Beispiel durch eine Mehrzahl von Leimpunkten 16.The in Fig. 1 perspective shown (cigarette) pack of the type soft cup in modified version consists of a single, one-piece blank (Fig. 7, Fig. 8th). The rectangular blank surrounds the package contents (a group of cigarettes) such that front wall 10, rear wall 11 and side walls 12, 13 arise. The side wall 13 is formed of two marginal side flaps 14, 15, the other partially cover, with the wider side lobe outside and almost the width the side wall 13 is covered. The side flaps 14, 15 are by gluing together connected by a plurality of glue dots 16 in the present example.

    Oben bildet der Zuschnitt eine Stimwand 17. Gegenüber liegend befindet sich eine Bodenwand 18. Stimwand 17 und Bodenwand 18 sind durch mehrere einander teilweise überdeckende Faltlappen gebildet. Die Bodenwand 18 besteht aus Boden-Faltlappen, nämlich Boden-Längslappen 19 und 20 sowie Boden-Ecklappen 21, 22 andererseits. Die jeweils zapfenförmigen Bodenlängslappen 19, 20 sind mit der Vorderwand 10 einerseits und der Rückwand 11 andererseits verbunden. Die schmaleren Boden-Ecklappen 21, 22 sind mit der Seitenwand 13 andererseits verbunden bzw. Fortsetzungen derselben. Die Boden-Ecklappen 21, 22 bilden die Innenseite der Bodenwand 18, während die Boden-Längslappen19, 20 außen liegen. Die Boden-Langslappen 19, 20 sind durch Klebung miteinander verbunden, zum Beispiel durch Leimpunkte oder dergleichen.At the top, the blank forms an end wall 17. Opposite is a bottom wall 18th end wall 17 and bottom wall 18 are partially separated by several Covering folding flaps formed. The bottom wall 18 consists of bottom folding flaps, namely bottom longitudinal tabs 19 and 20 and bottom corner tabs 21, 22 on the other. The each peg-shaped bottom longitudinal flaps 19, 20 are connected to the front wall 10 on the one hand and the rear wall 11, on the other hand. The narrower bottom corner tabs 21, 22 are connected to the side wall 13 on the other hand, or continuations thereof. The Bottom corner tabs 21, 22 form the inside of the bottom wall 18, while the bottom longitudinal tabs 19, 20 are outside. The bottom-long flaps 19, 20 are by gluing interconnected, for example, by glue spots or the like.

    Ein bodenseitiger Bereich des Zuschnitts bzw. der Packung, nämlich ein Faltstreifen 24, ist doppellagig ausgebildet. Der Faltstreifen 24 besteht aus zwei Teilstreifen 25, 26. Der äußere, am freien Rand gebildete Teilstreifen 26 ist entlang einer Faltlinie 27 zur Bildung des doppellagigen Faltstreifens 24 umgefaltet. Aus dem doppellagigen Faltstreifen 24 werden die beschriebenen Bodenlappen gebildet.A bottom area of the blank or package, namely a folding strip 24, is double-layered. The folding strip 24 consists of two partial strips 25, 26. The outer, formed at the free edge strip portion 26 is along a fold line 27 for forming of the two-ply folding strip 24 folded over. From the double-layered folding strip 24 The described floor tabs are formed.

    An der Innenseite der Bodenwand 18 ist ein Abdecklappen gebildet, und zwar zwischen der Bodenwand 18 und dem Packungsinhalt. Der Abdecklappen schützt den Packungsinhalt vor Übertragung von Leimpartikeln bei der Verklebung von Boden-Faltlappen.On the inside of the bottom wall 18, a cover flap is formed, between the bottom wall 18 and the contents of the package. The cover protects the contents of the package before the transfer of glue particles during the bonding of floor flaps.

    Der Abdecklappen wird bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel durch einen Bodenlappen gebildet, und zwar durch den mit der Seitenwand 12 verbundenen Boden-Ecklappen 21. Der Boden-Ecklappen 21 ist zu diesem Zweck nicht doppellagig ausgebildet. Vielmehr bleibt der Boden-Ecklappen 21 in der durch die Breite des Faltstreifens 24 vorgegebene Länge, ist also im wesentlichen doppelt so lang wie der Boden-Ecklappen 22. Der Zuschnitt ist hierfür durch Stanzlinien 28, 29 vorbereitet. Diese erstrecken sich an den seitlichen Begrenzungen des Boden-Ecklappens 21, und zwar im Berich des Faltstreifens 24 also bis zur Faltlinie 27. Dadurch können die Bereiche des Teilstreifens 26 zur Bildung der Boden-Längslappen 19, 20 und der Boden-Ecklappen 22 umgefaltet werden, während der Boden-Ecklappen 21 ungefaltet bleibt und dadurch eine entsprechend größere Länge aufweist. Bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ergibt sich eine zusätzliche Länge durch enen an der freien Seite des Faltstreifens 24 angebrachten Randstreifen 30. Dieser erstreckt sich bei der fertigen Packung als innenseitige Verstärkung im Bereich von Vorderwand 10, Rückwand 11 und Seitenwänden 12.13 (Fig. 2.).The cover flap is in the embodiment shown by a bottom flap formed, through the connected to the side wall 12 bottom corner tabs 21. The bottom corner tab 21 is not formed double-layered for this purpose. Much more the bottom corner tab 21 remains in the predetermined by the width of the folding strip 24 Length, that is substantially twice as long as the bottom corner tabs 22. The blank is prepared for this purpose by punching lines 28, 29. These extend the lateral boundaries of the bottom corner tab 21, in the Berich the folding strip 24 so to the folding line 27. This allows the areas of the partial strip 26th folded over to form the bottom longitudinal tabs 19, 20 and the bottom corner tabs 22 while the bottom gussets 21 remain unfolded and thereby correspondingly has greater length. In the present embodiment results an additional length by enen attached to the free side of the folding strip 24 Edge strip 30. This extends in the finished pack as inside reinforcement in the area of front wall 10, rear wall 11 and side walls 12.13 (FIG. 2).

    Der entsprechend in Längsrichtung der Seitenwand 12 bemessene Boden-Ecklappen 21 erstreckt sich entlang der Bodenwand 18 innenseitig bis zum gegenüberliegenden Boden-Ecklappen 22 bzw. über diesen hinweg (Fig. 2, Fig. 3). Der Packungsinhalt ist demnach vollflächig durch die Boden-Ecklappen 21, 22 abgedeckt gegenüber den außen anliegenden Boden-Längslappen 19, 20. Diese werden in einer zu der Stirnwand 17 anlalogen Weise gefaltet und miteinander verbunden. Die Beleimung der Boden-Faltiappen, nämlich der Boden-Längslappen 19, 20 erfolgt zweckmäßiger Weise in einer Stellung entsprechend Fig. 2 und Fig. 3. Der Packungsinhalt, nämlich die zugekehrten Enden der Zigaretten, sind dabei durchgehend abgedeckt, nämlich durch den einlagigen Boden-Ecklappen 21 einerseits und durch den anschließenden Boden-Ecklappen 22 andererseits.The corresponding in the longitudinal direction of the side wall 12 sized bottom corner tabs 21st extends along the bottom wall 18 on the inside to the opposite floor corner tabs 22 or over this time (Fig. 2, Fig. 3). The contents of the pack are accordingly over the entire surface covered by the bottom corner tabs 21, 22 opposite the outside adjacent bottom longitudinal tabs 19, 20. These are anlalogen in a to the end wall 17 Way folded and connected. The gluing of the ground folding folders, namely, the bottom longitudinal tabs 19, 20 is advantageously carried out in one position according to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. The contents of the package, namely the facing ends The cigarettes are covered throughout, namely by the single-layered Floor corner tabs 21 on the one hand and by the subsequent bottom corner tabs 22nd on the other hand.

    Eine andere Besonderheit der Erfindung bezieht sich ebenfalls auf die Gestaltung der Packung im Bereich mehrlagiger Ausbildung des Zuschnitts. Bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel geht es um einen benachbart zur Stimwand 17 bzw. unmittelbar unterhalb derselben ringsherum laufenden mehrlagigen Materialstreifen 31. Dieser ist als Z-Faltung ausgebildet.Another feature of the invention also relates to the design of the Packing in the area of multilayer training of the blank. In the present Embodiment is about an adjacent to the end wall 17 or directly below the same surrounding multi-layered material strip 31. This is as Z-fold formed.

    Der Zuschnitt (Fig. 7) ist zu diesem Zweck in einem stimseitigen Bereich mit einem Faltstreifen 32 versehen, der zur Bildung von Stim-Faltlappen dient, analog zur Ausgestaltung der Bodenwand 18. Es handelt sich demnach um die Bildung von Stimlängslappen 33, 34 sowie den schmaleren Stin-Ecklappen 35 und 36. Der Stim-Ecklappen 36 ist teilweise doppellagig ausgebildet, nämlich analog zur Seitenwand 13.The blank (Figure 7) is for this purpose in an end-face area with a fold strip 32 provided, which serves to form Stim folding flaps, analogous to the embodiment the bottom wall 18. It is therefore the formation of Stimlängslappen 33, 34 as well as the narrower Stin gussets 35 and 36. The Stim gusset 36 is partial formed double-layered, namely analogous to the side wall 13th

    Zwischen dem Faltstreifen 32 und dem Bereich mit Vorderwand 10, Rückwand 11 etc. ist ein zusätzlicher Materialstreifen gebildet, nämlich ein Z-Faltstreifen 37. Dieser besteht aus zwei Teilstreifen, nämlich für Schenkel 38, 39 der Z-Faltung. Die streifenförmigen Schenkel 38, 39 sind voneinander durch eine Z-Faltkante 40 sowie von dem Faltstreifen 32 durch eine Faltkante 41 und von Vorderwand 10, Rückwand 11 etc. durch eine weitere Faltkante 42 abgegrenzt. Diese bilden jeweils Umlenkkanten des Materials bei der fertigen Z-Faltung (Fig. 5).Between the folding strip 32 and the area with front wall 10, rear wall 11, etc. is formed an additional strip of material, namely a Z-fold strip 37th This consists from two partial strips, namely for legs 38, 39 of the Z-fold. The strip-shaped Legs 38, 39 are separated from each other by a Z-folding edge 40 and by the folding strip 32 by a folding edge 41 and front wall 10, rear wall 11, etc. by another Folded edge 42 delimited. These form each deflection edges of the material in the finished Z-fold (Fig. 5).

    Im Bereich der Seitenwand 13 ergibt sich durch die Gestaltung des Materialstreifens 31 eine Anhäufung von Materiallagen (Fig. 6). Dies kann zu einer unerwünschten Öffnung der Faltung in diesem Bereich führen. Um dieser Erscheinung entgegenzutreten, sind in dem Überlappungsbereich Materiallagen beseitgt, so dass die Gesamtzahl der einander überdeckenden Lagen örtlich reduziert ist. Zu diesem Zweck sind vorzugsweise innen liegende, also nach außen abgedeckte Lagen, mit Ausnehmungen, Löschem, Ausstanzungen oder dergleichen versehen.In the area of the side wall 13 results from the design of the material strip 31st an accumulation of material layers (Fig. 6). This can lead to an unwanted opening folding in this area. To counter this phenomenon, are in the overlapping area material layers so that the total number of each other overlapping layers is locally reduced. For this purpose are preferably inside lying, so outwardly covered layers, with recesses, extinguishing, punching or the like provided.

    Beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist im Bereich des Z-Faltstreifens 37 randseitig eine zu freien Rand hin offene Ausnehmung 43 angeordnet. Diese ist V-förmig ausgebildet und erstreckt sich annähernd mittig im Bereich des Z-Faltstreifens 37, also zu beiden Seiten der Z-Faltkante 40. In the present embodiment is in the region of the Z-fold strip 37 edge a recess 43 open towards the free edge is arranged. This is V-shaped and extends approximately in the center of the Z-fold strip 37, ie to both Sides of the Z-fold edge 40.

    Bei der Herstellung der Packung wird zuerst die Z-Faltung im Bereich des im Übrigen ebenen Zuschnitts gebildet (Fig. 8). Danach wird der Packungsinhalt durch den soweit vorberteiteten Zuschnitt umhüllt, wobei die Materalüberdeckung im Bereich der Seitenwand 13 entsteht. Die Ausnehmung 43 ist in dem dem (äußeren) Seitenlappen 15 zugekehrten Bereich des Z-Faltstreifens 37 angeordnet. Durch die innen liegende Z-Faltung (Fig. 6) ist die Ausnehmung 43 bei der fertigen Packung außen überdeckt durch einen oberen Bereich des Steitenlappens 15. Unterhalb des Seitenlappens 14 ergibt sich durch die Gestalt und Anordnung der Ausnehmung 43 eine örtliche Material- bzw. Lagenreduzierung, und zwar im Bereich der Schenkel 38 und 39.In the manufacture of the package, the Z-fold is first in the area of the remainder flat blank formed (Fig. 8). Thereafter, the contents of the package will be so far vorübereiteten blank wrapped, with the Materalüberdeckung in the side wall 13 arises. The recess 43 is in the (outer) side lobe 15 facing Area of the Z-fold strip 37 is arranged. Through the inside Z-fold (FIG. 6), the recess 43 in the finished package is covered on the outside by an upper portion of the Steitenlappens 15. Below the side flap 14 results by the shape and arrangement of the recess 43, a local material or layer reduction, namely in the region of the legs 38 and 39.

    Eine besonders korrekte und haltbare Vrbindung im Bereich der Überlappung der Enden des mehrlagigen Matenalstreifens 31 ist dann gegeben, wenn im Bereich der geschaffenen Ausnehmung 43 Materiallagen durch Kleben miteinander verbunden sind. Bei dem vorliegenden Beispiel ist ein Leimpunkt 44 im Bereich der Ausnehmung 43 positioniert. Dadurch wird der (außen liegende) Seitenlappen 15 unmittelbar mit dem innen liegenden Seitenlappen 14 verbunden, durch die Ausnehmung 43 hindurch. Bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel (Fig. 8) ist die Anordnung des Leimpunktes 44 so gewählt, dass dieser mittig zu einer die Ausnehmung 43 begrenzenden (Doppel-)Kante 45 positioniert ist. Durch den Leimpunkt 44 wird dadurch zugleich auch der äußere Seitenlappen 15 mit dem zugekehrten Schenkel 39 des Z-Faltstreifens 37 verbunden.A particularly correct and durable binding in the area of the overlapping of the ends of the multilayer material strip 31 is given when in the area created Recess 43 material layers are bonded together by gluing. In which In this example, a glue point 44 is positioned in the region of the recess 43. As a result, the (outer) side tabs 15 directly with the inside Side tabs 14 connected through the recess 43 therethrough. In the shown Embodiment (Fig. 8), the arrangement of the glue point 44 is selected so that this centered to a recess 43 limiting the (double) edge 45 positioned is. By the glue point 44 thereby at the same time also the outer side flap 15 with the facing leg 39 of the Z-fold strip 37 is connected.

    Die beschriebenen Zuschnitte werden zweckmäßigerweise von einer fortlaufenden Materialbahn durch quergenchtete Trennschnitte abgeteilt, wobei sich der Z-Faltstreifen 37 zweckmäßigerweise in Längsrichtung der Bahn erstreckt. Die Ausnehmung 43 wird dabei durch bzw. mit einem quergerichteten Trennschnitt für die Zuschnitte angebracht durch entsprechende Ausgestaltung eines Trennmessers. Bei dem jeweils nachfolgenden Zuschnitt entsteht dadurch ein Vorsprung bzw. eine Zunge 46 in Gestalt der Ausnehmung 43 und in Fortsetzung des Z-Faltstreifens 37. Diese Zunge 46 verschwindet innenseitig bei der fertigen Packung. The blanks described are expediently of a continuous material web divided by Quergenchtete separating cuts, with the Z-fold strip 37th expediently extends in the longitudinal direction of the web. The recess 43 is thereby attached by or with a transverse separating cut for the blanks by appropriate design of a separating knife. In each case following Blank is created by a projection or a tongue 46 in the form of the recess 43 and in continuation of the Z-folding strip 37. This tongue 46 disappears inside of the finished package.
