Abstract

A hinge-lid box for cigarettes is designed such that box side walls ( 18, 19 ), and lid side walls ( 23, 24 ) comprise two sections which are directed at an angle in relation to one another, that is to say are designed in an approximately roof-shaped manner. The cross section of the pack is shaped in adaptation to the pack contents, namely to a cigarette group in which a central row has a larger number of cigarettes than the two outer rows.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Klappschachtel für Zigaretten oder andere längliche Gegenstände, bestehend aus einem Zuschnitt aus dünnem Karton oder ähnlichem Verpackungsmaterial zur Bildung von Schachtelteil und mit diesem im Bereich einer Schachtel-Rückwand schwenkbar verbundenem Deckel, wobei der Schachtelteil aus Schachtel-Vorderwand, Schachtel-Rückwand, Bodenwand sowie zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Schachtel-Seitenwänden und der Deckel aus Deckel-Vorderwand, Deckel-Rückwand, Stirnwand und zwei in Schließstellung an die Schachtel-Seitenwände anschließenden Deckel-Seitenwänden besteht, wobei weiterhin die Seitenwände aus zwei unter einem stumpfen Winkel dachförmig zueinander gerichteten Wandschenkeln mit einer Mittelkante oder Mittelrundung gebildet sind und jeweils aus äußeren Seitenlappen bzw. Deckel-Seitenlappen und inneren Seitenlappen bzw. Deckel-Seitenlappen bestehen.The invention relates to a folding box for cigarettes or other elongated objects, consisting of a blank of thin cardboard or similar packaging material for forming box part and this in the region of a box rear wall pivotally connected lid, wherein the box part of box front wall, box rear wall , Bottom wall and two opposing box side walls and the lid lid front wall, lid rear wall, end wall and two in the closed position adjoining the box side walls lid side walls, further wherein the side walls of two roof-shaped at an obtuse angle to each other Wall legs are formed with a central edge or Mittelrundung and each consist of outer side lobe or lid side tabs and inner side lobes or lid side lobes.

Eine Klappschachtel der vorstehenden Ausführung ist bekannt durch IT-U-00230022. Bei diesem Stand der Technik bestehen die Seitenwände und Deckel-Seitenwände durchgehend aus zwei Lagen, nämlich aus dachförmig gefalteten äußeren Seitenlappen bzw. Deckel-Seitenlappen und entsprechend ausgebildeten inneren Seitenlappen bzw. Deckel-Seitenlappen etwa gleicher Breite. Dadurch ist die Fertigung der Packung erschwert, da maschinell die Ausrichtung der Mittelkanten der inneren und äußeren Seitenlappen schwierig ist und häufig zu einem Versatz und damit zu Fehlpackungen führt.A folding box of the above embodiment is known from IT-U-00230022. In this prior art, the side walls and lid side walls consist continuously of two layers, namely roof-shaped folded outer side flap or lid side flap and correspondingly formed inner side flap or lid side flap of about the same width. As a result, the manufacture of the package is difficult because mechanically the alignment of the central edges of the inner and outer side lobes is difficult and often leads to an offset and thus to incorrect packaging.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Klappschachtel für insbesondere Zigaretten vorzuschlagen, die aufgrund der Querschnittsgestaltung eine optimale Anpassung an den Packungsinhalt gewährleistet.The invention has for its object to provide a folding box for in particular cigarettes, which ensures optimal adaptation to the package contents due to the cross-sectional design.

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

  1. a) die innenliegenden Seitenlappen weisen lediglich die halbe Breite der Seitenwände bzw. der äußeren Seitenlappen und Deckel-Seitenlappen auf,
  2. b) die inneren Seitenlappen liegen an der Innenseite der betreffenden Seitenwand ausschließlich an dem zugeordneten Wandschenkel an,
  3. c) die Seitenlappen sind mit dem Wandschenkel verbunden.
To solve this problem, the folding box according to the invention is characterized by the following features:
  1. a) the inner side flaps have only half the width of the side walls or the outer side flaps and lid side flaps,
  2. b) the inner side tabs lie on the inside of the respective side wall exclusively on the associated wall leg,
  3. c) the side lobes are connected to the wall leg.

Aufgrund der Ausbildung und Anordnung der Seitenlappen im Bereich des Schachtelteils und Deckels ist eine exakte, industrielle Fertigung auf leistungsfähigen Verpackungsmaschinen möglich, nämlich durch die Anordnung der inneren Seitenlappen nur im Bereich eines der beiden Wandschenkel.Due to the design and arrangement of the side lobes in the area of the box part and cover an exact, industrial production on efficient packaging machines is possible, namely by the arrangement of the inner side lobes only in the region of one of the two wall legs.

A cigarette group 11 is surrounded by an inner wrapping 12 made of paper, Stanniol or the like. Such a formed cigarette block is the contents of the folding box.

Eine Klappschachtel besteht im grundsätzlichen Aufbau aus einem (unteren) Schachtelteil 13 und einem Deckel 14. Der Deckel 14 ist über ein Gelenk 15 schwenkbar mit dem Schachtelteil 13 verbunden. Der Schachtelteil 13 besteht aus Schachtel-Vorderwand 16, Schachtel-Rückwand 17, schmalen Schachtel-Seitenwänden 18, 19 sowie aus einer unteren Bodenwand 20. Entsprechend besteht der Deckel aus Deckel-Vorderwand 21, Deckel-Rückwand 22, Deckel-Seitenwänden 23, 24 und einer Stirnwand 25. Das Gelenk 15 verbindet Deckel-Rückwand 22 mit Schachtel-Rückwand 17.A folding box consists in the basic structure of a (lower) box part 13 and a lid 14. The lid 14 is connected via a hinge 15 pivotally connected to the box part 13. The box part 13 consists of box front wall 16, box rear wall 17, narrow box side walls 18, 19 and from a lower bottom wall 20. Accordingly, the lid consists of lid front wall 21, lid rear wall 22, lid side walls 23, 24th and an end wall 25. The hinge 15 connects the lid rear wall 22 with the box rear wall 17th

Zu einer Klappschachtel gehört weiterhin ein Kragen 26. Dieser besteht hier aus einem gesonderten Zuschnitt (zum Beispiel Fig. 4). Der Kragen 26 bildet eine Kragen-Vorderwand 27 und Kragen-Lappen 28. Der Kragen 26 ist innerhalb des Schachtelteils 13 fixiert (durch Klebung), derart, dass ein oberer Teilbereich aus dem Schachtelteil 13 herausragt und bei geschlossener Klappschachtel vom Deckel 14 umfasst ist.A collapsible box further includes a collar 26. This consists of a separate blank (for example, Fig. 4). The collar 26 forms a collar front wall 27 and collar flaps 28. The collar 26 is fixed (by gluing) within the box part 13, such that an upper portion protrudes from the box part 13 and is enclosed by the lid 14 when the folding box is closed.

Eine Besonderheit der vorliegenden Klappschachtel besteht darin, dass diese in der Querschnittsform durch entsprechende Gestaltung der Seitenwände 18, 19; 23, 24 an die Kontur des Packungsinhalts, nämlich an die Form der Zigarettengruppe 11, angepasst ist. Die Seitenwände des Schachtelteils 13 und des Deckels 14 sind zu diesem Zweck im Wesentlichen dachförmig ausgebildet, jedenfalls mit zwei unter einem (stumpfen) Winkel zueinander gerichteten Wandschenkeln 29, 30. In der konkreten Ausführung bestehen die Seitenwände aus zwei gleich großen unter einem stumpfen Winkel zueinander gerichteten, also keilförmig oder dachförmig ausgebildeten Wandschenkeln 29,30.A special feature of the present folding box is that this in the cross-sectional shape by appropriate design of the side walls 18, 19; 23, 24 is adapted to the contour of the package contents, namely the shape of the cigarette group 11. The side walls of the box part 13 and the cover 14 are formed for this purpose substantially roof-shaped, in any case with two at an (obtuse) angle facing each other wall legs 29, 30. In the concrete embodiment, the side walls of two equal sizes at an obtuse angle to each other directed, ie wedge-shaped or roof-shaped wall limbs 29,30.

Das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 bis Fig. 4 ist in den Konturen scharfkantig ausgebildet. Die Seitenwände 18, 19; 23, 24 bilden in einer gedachten mittleren Querebene der Klappschachtel eine nach außen gerichtete Mittelkante 35. In deren Bereich laufen die beiden Wandschenkel 29, 30 zusammen. Vorzugsweise sind die beiden Wandschenkel unter einem (Innen-)Winkel von (etwa)-120° gerichtet. Weiterhin wird eine optimale Packungsgestalt dadurch geschaffen, dass auch die beiden (Innen-)Winkel zwischen den Wandschenkeln 29, 30 einerseits und Vorderwand bzw. Rückwand der Packung andererseits (etwa) 120° betragen.The exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 4 has sharp edges in the contours. The side walls 18, 19; 23, 24 form in an imaginary central transverse plane of the folding box an outwardly directed central edge 35. In the area of the two wall legs 29, 30 together. Preferably, the two wall legs are directed at an (inner) angle of (about) -120 °. Furthermore, an optimal Packungsgestalt created by the fact that the two (inner) angle between the wall legs 29, 30 on the one hand and the front wall or rear wall of the pack on the other hand (about) amount to 120 °.

Die Schachtel-Seitenwände 18, 19 sowie die Kragen-Seitenwände 23, 24 bestehen aus Seitenlappen 31, 32 bzw. entsprechenden Deckel-Seitenlappen 33, 34. Diese liegen bei fertiger Klappschachtel aneinander und sind durch Kleben oder thermisches Siegeln miteinander verbunden.The box side walls 18, 19 and the collar side walls 23, 24 consist of side tabs 31, 32 and corresponding lid side tabs 33, 34. These are in finished folding box together and are connected to each other by gluing or thermal sealing.

Bei der vorliegenden Klappschachtel erstreckt sich der äußere Seitenlappen 31 und ebenso der äußere Deckel-Seitenlappen 33 über die volle Breite der Packung bzw. der Seitenwände 18, 19; 23, 24. Dieser äußere Seitenlappen 31 bzw. Deckel-Seitenlappen 33 ist zu diesem Zweck mit einer (annähernd) mittig verlaufenden Faltlinie versehen zur Bildung der Mittelkante 35. Der innenliegende Seitenlappen 32 bzw. Deckel-Seitenlappen 34 hat eine deutlich geringere Breite als der äußere Seitenlappen 31 bzw. Deckel-Seitenlappen 33. Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 14 ersichtlich, erstrecken sich die inneren Seitenlappen lediglich im Bereich eines zugekehrten Wandschenkels 29 der äußeren Seitenlappen, nämlich etwa bis zur Mittelkante 35. In diesem Bereich sind die inneren und äußeren Seitenlappen miteinander verbunden.In the present hinged box, the outer side flap 31 and also the outer lid side flap 33 extend across the full width of the package or sidewalls 18, 19; 23, 24. For this purpose, this outer side flap 31 or cover side flap 33 is provided with an (approximately) centrally extending fold line for forming the middle edge 35. The inner side flap 32 or cover side flap 34 has a significantly smaller width than the one As can be seen in particular from FIG. 14, the inner side tabs only extend in the region of a facing wall leg 29 of the outer side tabs, namely approximately to the middle edge 35. In this area, the inner and outer side tabs are connected with each other.

Der Zuschnitt (Fig. 3) ist entsprechend der Kontur der Klappschachtel in besonderer Weise gestaltet. Wie üblich sind Schachtel-Vorderwand 16, Bodenwand 20, Schachtel-Rückwand 17, Deckel-Rückwand 22, Stirnwand 25 und Deckel-Vorderwand 21 als Einheit aufeinanderfolgend innerhalb des Zuschnitts positioniert. Die äußeren Seitenlappen 31 sind an der Schachtel-Vorderwand 16, die äußeren Deckel-Seitenlappen 33 entsprechend an der Deckel-Vorderwand 21 und die (schmalen) Seitenlappen 32 bzw. Deckel-Seitenlappen 34 an Schachtel-Rückwand 17 bzw. Deckel-Rückwand 22 seitlich angebracht. An der freien Seite der Deckel-Vorderwand 21 befindet sich ein Deckellnnenlappen 37, der bei der Klappschachtel gegen die Innenseite der Deckel-Vorder wand 21 gefaltet ist.The blank (Fig. 3) is designed according to the contour of the folding box in a special way. As usual, the carton front wall 16, bottom wall 20, carton rear wall 17, lid rear wall 22, end wall 25, and lid front wall 21 are positioned as a unit sequentially within the blank. The outer side flaps 31 are on the box front wall 16, the outer lid side flaps 33 according to the lid front wall 21 and the (narrow) side flaps 32 and lid side flaps 34 on box rear wall 17 and lid rear wall 22 side appropriate. On the free side of the lid front wall 21 is a lid lapping cloth 37, the wall at the folding box against the inside of the lid front 21 is folded.

Bodenwand 20 und Stirnwand 25 sind an die Kontur der Klappschachtel angepasst, nämlich mit dachförmigen Seitenkanten 38 ausgebildet. Diese stoßen gegen obere bzw. untere Randbereiche der Deckel-Seitenwände 23, 24 einerseits und der Schachtel-Seitenwände 18, 19 andererseits, und zwar unter formschlüssiger Anlage.Bottom wall 20 and end wall 25 are adapted to the contour of the folding box, namely formed with roof-shaped side edges 38. These meet against upper or lower edge regions of the lid side walls 23, 24 on the one hand and the box side walls 18, 19 on the other hand, under positive engagement.

Besonders ausgebildet sind Ecklappen, nämlich Boden-Ecklappen 39 und Deckel-Ecklappen 40. Diese sind als Verlängerung der inneren Seitenlappen 32 einerseits und der inneren Deckel-Seitenlappen 34 andererseits vorgesehen. Die Ecklappen 39, 40 sind trapezförmig ausgebildet unter Anpassung an die Außenkontur der Seitenlappen 32, 34 und an die Kontur von Bodenwand 20 und Stirnwand 25. Die Ecklappen 39, 40 sind jeweils durch einen schräggerichteten Stanzschnitt 41 von Bodenwand 20 bzw. Stirnwand 25 getrennt. Die Ecklappen 39, 40 erstrecken sich demnach nur über die halbe Breite der zugeordneten Bodenwand 20 bzw. Stirnwand 25. Bei der fertigen Klappschachtel (Fig. 1) liegen die Ecklappen 39, 40 in einer schräggerichteten Stellung an der Innenseite von Bodenwand 20 bzw.

Die Zigaretten 10 benachbarter Reihen 43, 44, 45 sind versetzt zueinander positioniert (sogenannte Sattellage). Die mittlere Reihe 44 hat eine größere Anzahl von Zigaretten 10, nämlich zum Beispiel acht Zigaretten 10, und die beiden äußeren Reihen 43, 45 weisen sieben Zigaretten 10 auf. Es ergibt sich dadurch ein Packungsinhalt, nämlich ein Zigarettenblock, der sich optimal an die Querschnittskontur der Packung anpasst. Auch die Innenumhüllung 12 folgt dieser Kontur von Packung und Packungsinhalt (Fig. 14).The geometric shape of the folding box enables a special formation of the cigarette group 11. As can be seen from FIGS. 14 to 17, the cigarettes 10 are arranged in three rows 43, 44, 45. The cigarettes 10 of adjacent rows 43, 44, 45 are positioned offset to one another (so-called saddle position). The middle row 44 has a larger number of cigarettes 10, for example eight cigarettes 10, and the two outer rows 43, 45 have seven cigarettes 10. This results in a package content, namely a cigarette block, which adapts optimally to the cross-sectional contour of the package. The inner sheath 12 also follows this contour of the package and the package contents (FIG. 14).

Eine oben gebildete besondere Stimfaltung der Innenumhüllung 12 besteht im Bereich von Schachtel-Vorderwand 16 aus einem trapezförmigen äußeren Längslappen 46 und benachbart zur Schachtel-Rückwand 17 aus einem entsprechend trapezförmig ausgebildeten inneren Längslappen 47. Im Bereich der Schachtel-Seitenwände 18, 19 bildet die Innenumhüllung 12 eine übliche Überlappung 48. Die Innenumhüllung 12 ist hier unter Bildung von zwei einander teilweise überdeckenden Eck-Zwickeln 49, 50 gefaltet. Diese werden jeweils von den ebenfalls dachförmig zueinander ausgerichteten Seitenbereichen der Innenumhüllung 12 innen gegen die Endflächen der Zigaretten 10 umgefaltet (Fig. 14).In the region of the box front wall 16, a special configuration of the inner casing 12 formed above consists of a trapezoidal outer longitudinal tab 46 and adjacent to the box rear wall 17 of a corresponding trapezoidal inner longitudinal tab 47. Forming in the area of the box side walls 18, 19 the inner sheath 12 is a conventional overlap 48. The inner sheath 12 is here folded to form two mutually partially overlapping corner gussets 49, 50. These are in each case folded over against the end surfaces of the cigarettes 10 by the side areas of the inner envelope 12, which are likewise roof-shaped in relation to one another, (FIG. 14).
